Dr. Paul Saladino - Carnivore Diet for Optimal Wellness (part 1 of 2‪)‬ AdapNation: all things Self-Optimisation!

NOTE: This is Part 1 of 2. Check out Episode #78 for Part 2
Have you noticed the emergence of the Carnivore Diet as of late? Is it a deliberate culture clash with the Vegan Community, a naive and neanderthal chest-beating F’ you to sustainability, animals, and human health, or just an excuse to eat the foods we like?
Or, is there something to it? Dr. Paul Saladino combined with a burgeoning cohort of respectable doctors, scientists, anthropologists and nutritionists thinks there is. And it’s not just the academics - there is an expanding community of tens of thousands of every day people that were once sick, overweight and dealt the death blow of autoimmune and chronic disease who are thriving! What gives?!
Be prepared to be blown away!
Dr Paul Saladino attempts to shatter the nutritional paradigms on optimal health, meat, plant-based nutrition and our evolutionary biological preference to thrive. Paul believes, backed up with with encyclopaedic knowledge and tons of scientific facts, that Humans are actually FACULTATIVE CARNIVORES.
That we evolved to be the number one species on the planet due to a Carnivorous diet feeding our explosive brain development, and that our body and biology leaves many clues that we’ve adapted to be carnivores who in times of desperation and starvation could tolerate low doses of plant-based foods.
 
WHAT!?!?!
BIG super important topic. As a result, this 2h convo is broken into two parts. Here’s what you can expect to hear across both:
 
P.S. AdapNation have produced a Meat-Dominant Articlethat condenses the arguments and guidance here. Proving very popular!
