Paul Saladino, MD, is a double board-certified physician and a leading figure in the ancestral health movement, best known for his advocacy of the animal-based diet. Trained in psychiatry and functional medicine, Dr. Saladino became disillusioned with conventional Western medicine's approach to chronic disease, which he felt focused primarily on symptom management rather than root causes. This led him to explore nutrition and lifestyle interventions, culminating in his development of the 'animal-based diet,' centered on nutrient-dense animal foods like meat, organs, raw dairy, fruit, and honey, while avoiding heavily processed fare, seed oils, and potentially harmful plant compounds. Through his popular podcast, 'Fundamental Health,' his bestselling book, "The Carnivore Code," and extensive presence across social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter, Dr. Saladino educates millions on his perspectives. He frequently critiques mainstream dietary guidelines, the pharmaceutical industry, and environmental toxins, urging individuals to take control of their health. As a co-founder of supplement company Heart & Soil and animal-based food company Lineage Provisions, he provides access to foods he considers foundational for human health. Dr. Saladino combines scientific research with evolutionary principles to offer a controversial yet compelling message focused on reclaiming radical health.
