Summary

234: I am excited to welcome Paul Saladino to the podcast, as this conversation was long overdue. We recorded while we were both in Washington, D.C., for the Make America Healthy Again ball, and I’m so excited to share it with you. Paul is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition and preventative health, and I’ve been following his work for years. In this episode, we take a deep dive into cholesterol myths, the role of saturated fat, and how metabolic dysfunction—not cholesterol—is the real issue. Paul shares a fascinating analogy that helped me fully grasp these concepts. We also discuss the benefits of an animal-based diet, the history and controversy around raw milk, and the broader implications of nutrition policy and education. Topics Discussed: Raw vs. pasteurized milk The role of saturated fat in health Cholesterol myths and metabolic dysfunction Pharma companies, statins, and LDL levels Meat consumption and heart disease Fasting insulin and ancestral diets Food deserts and nutrition policy Calorie counting and eating disorders Stay tuned for part two!!!

0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast. There are so many nutrients in red meat that
0:05.0	improve your fertility, your mental clarity, your strength, your resilience to injury, right?
0:10.2	Like, you need red meat. Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology
0:15.6	podcast. Today's guest, Paul Saladino, he's also known as the Carnivore MD, but he's not carnivore anymore. He's
0:22.4	what he calls animal-based. I just have to say this was an amazing conversation. Paul and I were
0:27.6	both in D.C. at the same time because we went to the Make America Healthy Again ball around the
0:32.7	inauguration. And we have become friends because we got connected through our mutual friend,
0:37.2	Kelly Means recently.
0:38.6	And we decided to record a podcast, which I feel is long overdue.
0:42.7	I have been following his account for a long time.
0:45.6	And I think he's amazing.
0:47.2	He is a wealth of knowledge.
0:48.5	He's an MD who went through the traditional training and he came out on the other side and
0:53.9	he realized that
0:54.9	what he was doing was not really truly helping patients. So he revamped everything. He went and he
1:02.0	got more education and went online and started teaching everybody how to eat and take care
1:09.0	of themselves from a preventative lens. We talk a lot about cholesterol
1:13.2	on this episode, and I think the analogy that he made was so fascinating, and it really helped
1:17.7	me fully understand the nuances in all of this. So we talked a lot about that. We talked about
1:22.8	animal-based diet. We talked about, I give some updates around Hector psoriasis, because he has since gone
1:28.9	animal based. And we've gotten a lot of advice from Paul over the last month or so. And I give
