These are the highlights of my two-hour Q&A at the Animal Based Gathering in Costa Rica.
In this video, I answer questions about honey and nutrient absorption, kidney markers, running mechanics, testosterone, thyroid health, iodine, supplements, blue light, fasting insulin, metabolic health, and what animal-based actually means. My goal with animal-based has never been dogma—it’s a framework for eating real, single-ingredient foods and paying attention to what actually works for your body.

Dr. Paul Saladino received his medical degree from the University of Arizona Medical School. His use of “doctor” or “Dr.” in relation to himself solely refers to that degree. Dr. Saladino is a licensed physician in California, but he no longer practices in any state and does not see patients so he can focus on educating people as a full time activity. This video is for general informational purposes only. It should not be used to self-diagnose and it is not a substitute for a medical exam, cure, treatment, diagnosis, and prescription or recommendation. It does not create a doctor-patient relationship between Dr. Saladino and you. You should not make any change in your health regimen or diet before first consulting a physician and obtaining a medical exam, diagnosis, and recommendation. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
