Raw Milk, Animal-Based Diets, + The Cholesterol Myth | Paul Saladino

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!!!  Sponsored By MANUKORA  Go to Manukora.com/REALFOODOLOGY to get $25 off the Starter Kit, which comes with an MGO 850+ Manuka Honey jar, 5 honey travel sticks, a wooden spoon, and a guidebook!  LMNT Get your free Sample Pack with any LMNT drink mix purchase at drinklmnt.com/realfoodology Our Place Use code REALFOODOLOGY for 10% off at fromourplace.com BIOptimizers  For an exclusive offer go to bioptimizers.com/realfoodology and use promo code REALFOODOLOGY  Paleovalley Save at 15% at paleovalley.com/realfoodology and use code REALFOODOLOGY Graza Head to Graza.co and use REALFOODOLOGY to get 10% off of TRIO which includes Sizzle, Frizzle and Drizzle, and get to cookin’ your next chef-quality meal!
