About this episode
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!!!
