The Truth About The Carnivore Diet: Everything You Need To Know About Dangers, Benefits, Mistakes & Hacks For Eating Only Meat.
Boundless Life14 Maalis 2019

The Truth About The Carnivore Diet: Everything You Need To Know About Dangers, Benefits, Mistakes & Hacks For Eating Only Meat.

Prepare yourself for the most epic, deep dive into the carnivore diet that you've ever heard.

I recently listened to a physician named Paul Saladino debate research scientist Layne Norton about the carnivore diet on my friend Mark Bell's podcast. I was so intrigued by the episode that I decided to get Paul on my show to explore the science behind the carnivore diet, carnivore diet do's and don'ts, and whether the carnivore diet is a true, sustainable, natural, ancestral nutrition approach or just a dietary fad.

During this show, we cover: -Why Paul is a raving fan of salmon roe...17:15
  • Humans cannot make Omega 3 fatty acids
    • Omega 3's in salmon roe are in the phospholipid form
    • Salmon roe crosses the blood brain barrier more efficiently than in the triglyceride or ethyl ester form (which you'll find in most fish oil capsules)
  • Two tbsps of salmon roe gives you the DHA without being exposed to the metals
  • Benefit of getting a nutrient from a food vs. from a supplement
  • Concern with oxidation in fish oil:
    • Look for certificate of analysis
    • Look at levels of lipid peroxides
    • Not nearly as much oxidation in eggs than the fish
-Why Paul doesn't consume black pepper...21:15
  • A central principle of the carnivorous diet: plants are not put on the earth to serve humans
  • Develop potentially toxic compounds to defend themselves from other animals
  • A peppercorn is the seed of a plant
    • The seeds are where a higher concentration of pesticides and toxins reside
    • Pepper contains a compound called piperine, which inhibits UDP glucuronosyltransferase
  • In essence: black pepper inhibits our body's natural detoxification process.
  • Piperine is added to curcumin supplements to increase the level of curcumin you can absorb
  • We don't actually use these molecules in human biochemistry
    • Used to activate certain pathways to produce our own antioxidants (which is glutathione)
  • Plants induce Nrf2, while simultaneously doing toxic things to our bodies
  • Sulforaphane is considered to be a highly beneficial molecule as a precursor to glutathione pathways
    • But is known to be a goitrogen (meaning it can induce hypothyroidism)
  • Key take away: You can simulate the benefits of eating plants by eating meat and living a healthy lifestyle
-Why Paul refused a cup of Kion Coffee when offered by Ben...30:45
  • Coffee is felt to be beneficial because of a couple of polyphenolic compounds: chloragenic acid and caffeic acid
  • A coffee bean is the seed of a plant, which contains toxins as a natural defense mechanism
  • Very few animals eat those seeds
-Aren't plants like exercise, where you need them, but too much can be harmful?...26:05
  • Hormesis is potential benefit of plants
  • Sulforaphane:
    • Is linked to hypothyroidism
    • Depends on one's baseline level of iodine consumption
    • Does not exist in a plant
    • Glucoraphanin is converted into sulforaphane by Myrosinase
      • Highest levels are found in broccoli seeds and sprouts
  • Humans are "facultative carnivores" meaning we can get everything we need from meat without ingesting the toxins found in plants.
-Storage organs in plants that result in larger brains and smaller guts...46:35
  • Richard Wrangham
  • Tubers
    • Fairly toxic generally speaking
    • Ancestral (non-hybridized) tubers aren't as valuable to humans due to size, appearance, etc.
    • Developed big brains by eating bone marrow and brains of animals (as scavengers)
    • No DHA, or fatty acids in a tuber
    • Macronutrients for short term survival; micronutrients for long term survival
    • Tubers have macronutrients, but not micronutrients
  • Fossils of homo erectus found near water: algae, DHA, other micronutrients
  • Just because tubers were efficacious for our ancestors doesn't mean we should choose them today
    • Animals provide all the micronutrients we need in the most bioavailable forms
    • The ultimate multivitamin for a human would be an animal
-Why plants may not be necessary, could be harmful to the gut, and are "survival food"...50:50
  • Vilhjalmur Stefansson: Lived with Inuit people for a year
    • Observed they ate plants only when "real foods" i.e. animals weren't available
  • Book: 100 Million Years of Food by Stephen Lee
  • Even though humans have made plants more digestible via sprouting, fermenting, etc. we should still opt for the ribeye steak.
-Whether a carnivorous diet is sustainable or ethical...53:53
  • Eat the animal "nose to tail"
  • Book: The Whole Beast by Fergus Henderson
  • Muscle meat is high in methionine but low in glycine
  • Best results come when we eat organs and tendons along with the muscle meat
    • Different nutrients in different parts of the animal
  • Why Ben called the carnivore diet "lazy" on the Joe Rogan podcast
  • Carbohydrate availability for the thyroid
    • Ancestors would eat the thyroid immediately after killing an animal
  • Do you need plants to consume adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals?
    • Good amounts of Vitamin C in liver and in brain; whale blubber
    • Liver also has large amounts of carotenal, a precursor to Vitamin A
    • Quercetin doesn't directly contribute to human biochemistry
    • You may not be able to get flavonoids from meat, but you may not need them at all
-How we would consume fiber on a carnivore diet, or if we even need it at all...1:06:40
  • The debate between Paul Saladino and Layne Norton on the Mark Bell show
  • Fiber is a "fairy tale"
    • Physician named Burkett in Tanzania
    • Tanzanians did not have as many cases of diverticulosis as Westerners
    • Erroneously equated high amounts of fiber intake with low cases of diverticulosis
    • The reverse is true
    • Applies to insoluble and soluble fiber
  • "Healthy user bias" affects studies on fiber
    • People who eat less meat and more fiber, and engage in healthy activities
    • Stereotypical "meat eater": Steak, fries, cake, etc.
-Why Ben Greenfield is hesitant to embrace a full-on carnivore diet...1:13:50
  • Variety is the spice of life (colors of food, tastes, etc.)
  • Humans are "facultative carnivores"
    • Meant to eat animals, but can eat plants when animals are not available
    • Plants can contribute to life enjoyment if you choose to use them in your diet
-The carnivore diet and longevity...1:23:30
  • Fallacy: centenarians live longer because of genetics. They live long in spite of what they eat.
  • Theory of "blue zones" has been incorrectly interpreted
    • Not caused by diet (plants, legumes, etc.)
    • Clusters of longevity mutation in certain genes; improves insulin sensitivity, antioxidants, etc.
  • High insulin sensitivity when carbs are cut out
-Carnivore vs. ketosis...1:28:45
  • Three micronutrients: carbs, protein, fat
  • We can run on two fuels: fat or carbs
    • fat that is stored or that you're eating
    • No such thing as an "essential carbohydrate"
  • You can have a ketogenic diet that includes some plant foods that are potentially immunotoxic
  • Carnivorous diet is by default a ketogenic because you're not eating plant-based carbs (trace amounts in meat)
  • What about coconut oil and coconut cream?
  • Dairy: addictive to humans because it's the combination of fat and sugar; great for infants
    • It's why we crave ice cream
    • Rewarding but not satiating
    • Some cut out dairy, and find they're more satiated when eating meat
-The carnivore diet and amino intake...1:37:53
  • Paul typically eats 3 pounds of meat per day
  • No risk of developing cancer
    • Eating methionine without glycine becomes problematic
    • Bone broth and collagen are good sources of glycine
-Concern about constant activation of mTor on the carnivorous diet...1:41:00
  • Concern about IGF-1 (insulin growth factor) levels raising on the diet
  • Paul has found the opposite to be true
  • Caloric restriction benefits come from sirtuin family of genes, which is activated by beta hydroxy butyrate
  • Balances out because of the ketogenic state of the diet
-Whether a carnivorous diet is sustainable or ethical...1:45:30
  • It's not practical for everyone to hunt their own meat
  • Look at it from a population vs. individual basis
    • Answer questions pertaining to the individual before the population
    • Advances in technology contribute to increases in greenhouse gases (fossil fuel emissions)
    • Agriculture contributes ~8% of greenhouse gases; 3-4% is animal agriculture
-And much more... -Who is Paul Saladino?

Throughout the course of his life Paul Saladino has embarked on many adventures that have shaped his personal interests - including his unique, individualized approach to medicine. After studying chemistry at College of William he spent 6 years traveling and exploring. Highlights included a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, a summer in the New Zealand backcountry, and 2 years skiing and climbing in Wyoming's Teton Mountains. He returned to academic studies after these adventures, first becoming a physician assistant and practicing in cardiology before training at the University of Arizona, obtaining his M.D. in 2015.

He is a certified Functional Medicine practitioner (IFMCP) through the Institute for Functional Medicine and will complete his residency in psychiatry at the University of Washington this June. When he is not researching connections between nutritional biochemistry and chronic disease he can be found in the frigid waters of the pacific northwest in search of the perfect wave.

What Cookware Does Ben Use?, Do You REALLY Need To Avoid Gluten & How To Gain Muscle Fast: Solosode #489

What Cookware Does Ben Use?, Do You REALLY Need To Avoid Gluten & How To Gain Muscle Fast: Solosode #489

In this fascinating episode of Boundless Life, you’ll get to explore some of today’s most misunderstood and debated health topics—from gluten myths and kitchen toxins to advanced regenerative treatments and rapid muscle growth strategies. It’s an eye-opening mix of science, personal experimentation, and practical tools you can start using right away to upgrade your health. We kick things off with a fresh look at gluten. I'll reveal why most gut issues blamed on gluten are often caused by other culprits—like glyphosate, food additives, or FODMAPs—and why going gluten-free might not be the magic bullet it’s made out to be. You’ll also hear why extreme elimination diets can backfire, and how diverse, whole-food nutrition is often the smarter path. From there, I dive into your kitchen—the most overlooked source of hidden toxins in your daily life. You’ll discover how common cookware and appliances may be exposing you to microplastics, forever chemicals, and heavy metals—and how to clean up your kitchen without stress or spending a fortune. I share my go-to brands, what to avoid, and simple swaps that make a real difference in optimizing your long-term health. I'll also break down the five most effective compound lifts for fast muscle gain, how to structure sets and rest periods, and how to fuel your body with nutrient-dense, muscle-supporting foods. You’ll get a clear protocol for protein timing, supplement support, and even how to incorporate raw dairy and organ meats for next-level results—without falling for hype or gimmicks. Packed with research, personal experience, and honest insight, this episode is your roadmap to living stronger, smarter, and more boundless every single day.
