#179 Paul Saladino - The FDA Approved Poison You Eat Every Day

The Matt Walker Podcast✓Claim Key Takeaways  For every new time zone that you cross, it takes approximately one day for your body to acclimate The difference between circadian rhythm and chronotype: Circadian rhythm is your body’s internal 24-hour clock that regulates biological processes, while chronotype is your natural preference for when you feel most alert or sleepy within that rhythmTop sleep tips from the episode:Maintain the same sleep schedule on weekdays and weekendsGo to bed and wake up at the same time, or at least within a 30 min windowReduce effects of jet-lag by taking pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight measuresKnow your chronotype so you can performance-peak at desired times Over 40 NFL seasons from 1970-2011, during night match-ups, the West coast team was two-fold more likely to beat the East coast team This is due to the West coast team’s circadian advantage over the East teamLeverage “Sleep Loading”: Before going into a high-stress period or an acute period in which you will be sleeping less, increase your sleep duration in the several days leading up the period of anticipated sleep-loss or higher-stress While it is difficult to “pay back” sleep debt after-the-fact, it appears that you can build up “sleep credit” by front-loading sleep ahead of anticipated periods of high stress and sleep-lossTaking a hot shower or bath 90 minutes before bed can dramatically improve your sleep quality A study conducted using the NBA schedule was able to predict game outcomes with 76-86% accuracy based on travel-induced fatigue criteria – completely independent of strength of team Use the nappuccino to boost alertness and performance: Consume your favorite caffeinated beverage, immediately take a 20-30 minute power nap, then wake up when your alarm goes off and you will be in a heightened state of alertness Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Cheri Mah returns to the podcast today to explore a few different topics including how circadian rhythms shape athletic performance. She notes that these 24-hour cycles regulate sleep, hormones, and core temperature, with peak physical capacity often occurring between 4-8 pm—when many world records are set. Dr. Mah also discusses chronotypes, showing how tailoring training to one’s natural rhythm can enhance results. She reveals research on circadian disruption in sports, notably how West Coast NFL teams outperform East Coast teams in night games due to a three-hour body clock advantage. The episode also covers jet lag strategies, sleep loading, and managing fatigue, making it a must-listen not just for athletes and high performers, but truly for us all. Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Matt is only too happy to share the fact that launching his sleep-related merchandise sales was incredibly smooth, thanks to show sponsor Shopify and their integrated sales and inventory system.

Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  The insurance companies and big pharma complex monetize chronic diseaseThey benefit if more Americans are chronically ill because it means more prescriptions and therefore more kickbacks and rebates Approximately 30% of the revenue generated from opioid abuse in America went to the big five insurance companies The insurance companies are incentivized to put you on drugs!About 60% of United Healthcare’s annual revenue – $361 billion in 2024 – comes from prescription drugs via an entity called a pharmacy benefit manager The average American is on 4+ prescription drugs SSRIs are one of the most worrisome drugs of the day: A metaanalysis of over 75 studies revealed that 85% of the efficacy of an SSRI was related to placebo On a 52-point depression scale, SSRIs differentiate from placebo by 1-2 points The healthcare system is not broken; it is rigged, and the American taxpayer is the one footing the bill “Prescribing a GLP-1 without talking about diet, lifestyle, and nutrition is like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos.” – Brigham Buhler Behind age and smoking, the third biggest cause of chronic disease is metabolic diseaseTo fix the healthcare system, fixing metabolic health should be our primary focusWe have built an entire healthcare industry of siloed experts, but the body is one organism; we should adopt a more holistic approach to treatment Using AI to build a better system: We will use algorithmic-based medicine to take a proactive and predictive approach to medicine, which will reduce the onset of chronic disease immediately upon recognition Faster iteration phases between detection and intervention will improve our health Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgBrigham Buhler is a healthcare entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Ways2Well, and co-founder of ReviveRx Pharmacy. American healthcare stands apart from any other system in the world. While some argue it has the potential to be the best, for many, it feels like the worst. Sky-high costs, an overreliance on prescriptions, and systemic inefficiencies suggest something is deeply broken. Why is this the case, and what can be done to fix it?

Shawn Ryan Show Intro  We are the only species that have forgotten what we are biologically-programmed to eat Metabolic dysfunction, which exists on a continuum, underlies 90% of chronic illness; becoming metabolically healthy through diet and lifestyle change can cure most chronic illnesses Every year, the government sends out $112 billion in food stamps, which serves an average of 42 million people monthly – about 12% of the U.S. populationAbout 70% of this budget is spent on junk food, and about 10% of it – $12 billion – is spent on soda Additives in ultra-processed foods impair our ability to make energy from them; they are poisonous to our metabolism and to the very things that give us life as humans! There is more to the story than calories: The ingredients in these processed foods are poisonous to humans; the quality of the “calories in” impacts the body’s ability to do “calories out” Consuming monogastric animals such as pork and chicken is problematic for humans because these animals accumulate polyunsaturated fats, which are harmful to humans; ruminants are better for human consumption In the 1900s, rates of chronic illness were a fraction of what they are today; during this time, about 99% of fat that humans ate were beef tallow, ghee, butter, and lard – there were no seed oils in the human diet! Saturated fats are evolutionary consistent and cardioprotective; consuming excess polyunsaturated fats, like linoleic acid in seed oils, is the true culprit of chronic disease due to their oxidative potential  “If you are insulin sensitive and metabolically healthy, LDL is good for you. It ‘s an immune particle; it’s valuable. It’s when you become insulin resistant that it becomes a liability because it is part of the causal cascade.”  – Paul Saladino Sugar in fruit is different than processed forms of sugar: There are naturally occurring chemicals in fruit and in honey that mitigate the adverse effects of sugar in the body The solution is simple: We do not need medical breakthroughs to fix our health and cure chronic disease; we just need to return to eating the foods that humans have always eaten Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPaul Saladino, MD, is a double board-certified physician and a prominent advocate for an animal-based diet, known for his controversial views on nutrition and health. He graduated from the University of Arizona College of Medicine and completed his residency at the University of Washington. Saladino is the author of *The Carnivore Code* and *The Carnivore Code Cookbook*, where he argues that many chronic illnesses are linked to poor dietary choices and can be prevented or reversed through proper nutrition. His professional philosophy emphasizes questioning mainstream medical narratives, focusing instead on optimal health through dietary changes. In addition to his writing, Saladino hosts the *Fundamental Health* podcast, where he engages with various experts to discuss health optimization. He co-founded Lineage Provisions, which produces high-quality air-dried meat snacks, and Heart & Soil, offering desiccated organ supplements aimed at enhancing nutrient intake. Recently, he has been involved in projects like a collaboration with Raw Farm USA to create a raw kefir smoothie at Erewhon Market, further promoting his vision of ancestral nutrition and wellness through innovative products.

Genius Life Key Takeaways  The ailments that people try to fix with prescription drugs can be addressed with lifestyle modificationWalking is the quintessential human movement; everybody should walk as much as they can Running is not the best way to lose weight, improve cardiovascular health, or reduce stress; it is not the health and fitness panacea that it has been advertised to be While running is catabolic, walking is anti-catabolicWalking helps to relax, realign, and strengthen the body’s kinetic chainOur ancestors walked, sprinted, and lifted heavy things; they did not “train for running” in order to track and kill a beastBenefits of Zone 2 cardio training: Increase aerobic efficiency, increase ventilation threshold, build capillary perfusion, and improve mitochondrial efficiencyEverything else falls into place once you have achieved metabolic flexibility, which is the body’s ability to efficiently switch between different energy sources based on availability and demandThe original Primal Blueprint: Move around a lot and do low-level of aerobic activity (walk a lot) Lift heavy things at the gym 2x per week (full body) Sprint max-effort 1x per week Try taking collagen before a workout so that your collagen uptake during the workout is higher in the tendons that are being exercised Despite the backlash against alcohol, Mark still enjoys 1-2 glasses of wine every evening Longevity is not just about living longer, but improving quality of life in the areas of mobility, cognition, and adaptability Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMark Sisson is a best-selling author, founder of Primal Kitchen, and a former elite endurance athlete turned health advocate who inspires millions to embrace primal living for a vibrant and healthy life. 15 Daily Steps to Lose Weight and Prevent Disease PDF: https://bit.ly/46XTn8f - Get my FREE eBook now!

The Tucker Carlson Show Key Takeaways  “The corporate capture of our institutions is the real cause of the chronic disease crisis that we’re facing.” –  Brigham ButlerRoughly 30% of the cost of every prescription drug is because of the kickback that goes to a PBM; the drugmaker pays the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) the kickback in order to be placed on the preferred contract with the insurance company The drugs that get put on formulary do not have to do with efficacy or what is best for the patient; instead, it is about which drugs have the biggest kickbacks for PBMs  America’s healthcare system in a trainwreck: The US makes up for ~60% of the pharma industry, but is ranked 40th overall in healthcare outcomesSurgical procedures are loss-leaders; the industry would rather have you on prescription drugs, because then the PBMs get kickbacks Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcomes: Since there is so much money being made off “treating” chronic disease, there is no incentive to cure chronic disease The three pillars of the chronic disease crisis: (1) Big Pharma (2) The food industry and (3) The insurance industry They do not want to treat preventative: Health insurance companies are incentivized to keep people from discovering if they have a catastrophic illness; this is why they do not allow you to easily get comprehensive blood work The quarterly-profit cycle that publicly-traded insurance companies operate on incentivizes them to delay or deny expenditures, such as paying for a patient’s surgery, as much as possible Focusing on preventing metabolic disease will indirectly cure all of the chronic diseases that are killing so many Americans Getting rid of the PBMs will remove a huge profit center for the insurance companies; this takes away the incentive to get and keep patients on prescription drugs “This is not a Republican issue. This is not a Democrat issue. This is a humanity issue.” – Brigham Buhler on the chronic disease crisis Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgAn unhealthy, over-medicated country means record profits for insurance companies.

Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  “Get away from our sons and away from our daughters. It’s not left or right. I don’t have a Republican bone in my body. Get the crazy people who do not understand human development away from our children.” – Eric Weinstein “Everything worth doing is hard – and the more worth doing it is, the harder it is. The greater the payoff, the greater the hardship. If it’s hard, good. It means no one else will do it. More for you.” – Alex Hormozi Dr. Mike Israetel –  Focus on getting tension in the muscle that you are targeting; getting tension in the muscle you are trying to grow is more significant than focusing on which exercise movement is best Dr. Andrew Huberman – You can become a morning person in three days: Set your alarm to 5 AM, wake up and get out of bed when it goes off, get outside and safely view sunlight, do some form of exercise or movement while viewing the sunlight, ingest caffeine 60-90 mins after waking, and engage in some form of social interaction “The only way that you cannot be humble in old age is when you refuse to look at the reality of your life up to today.” – Dry Creek Dewayne Implement more exercise snacks, such as air squats, into your daily life; the positive effects of short bursts of vigorous energy expenditure through“non-exercise” methods will compound over time and can dramatically improve your health Oliver Burkeman – We often try to attain an impossible level of control over our lives; accept that you will never get life completely sorted outTim Ferriss – Develop identity diversification so that your self-worth is never dependent on just one thing, such as your job; this increases the resiliency and robustness of your mental healthJoe Hudson – The more you are willing to welcome the range of emotions that you will inevitably experience as a human, the more you are likely to welcome joy as a natural part of existence Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org2024 is nearly over, so I decided to put together a compilation of some of my favourite moments from the show over the last year.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark Key Takeaways  Understanding Big Food: Ten companies own the entity of our food system – these companies have outsized control over our food system, and they care more about profits than human healthOur ancestors would not recognize the “foods” that we eat today; most people do not realize that new ingredients have been snuck into our food supply over the last fifty yearsFollowing World War II, in search of a new market, the chemical companies shifted their focus towards American farmlands and launched a new war on the bugs and pests on American farmlandsThe World Health Organization classifies glyphosate as a known carcinogen, and yet, approximately 280 billion pounds of glyphosate are sprayed on American crops per year; about 80-90% of grain products on grocery store shelves contain very high levels of glyphosate Companies such as Bayer make the chemicals that destroy our soil and give us cancer, then also produce and profit from drugs designed to treat those cancers Studies that go against the interests of the agrochemical companies are rare because those same chemical companies fund the majority of the research in the industry The way that we are farming now is not sustainable; if we continue down our current path of spraying all these chemicals on our food and destroying the soil, then we will only have 55 years of harvests left before plantable soil is gone The fruits and vegetables in the grocery store are losing vitamin and mineral content because the soil they were harvested in is not as healthy as it once wasApproximately 77% of adults between the ages of 17 and 24 are ineligible for military service due to obesity Tips from Courtney Swan: Buy organic, buy local produce from nearby farmers, form a relationship with a local rancher, shop the perimeter of the grocery store, buy real foods with simple ingredients, prioritize protein, and eliminate ultra-processed foodsRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgAn integrative nutritionist on a mission to change how America eats, Courtney Swan (aka @realfoodology on Instagram and host of the podcast of the same name) educates Alex on glyphosate, GMOs, how to start shopping for real food, and why parents need to choose between wellness and illness for their kids.  Thank you to our sponsors!  ⁠⁠Masa Chips⁠⁠ | Use code "REALALEXCLARK" for 20% OFF  ⁠⁠Wise Traditions⁠⁠ | Use code “ALEX” for $25 OFF  ⁠⁠Nimi Skincare⁠⁠ | Use code "ALEXCLARK" for 10% OFF  ⁠⁠YRefy⁠⁠ | Call (888) 502-2612  Courtney Swan  Instagram | ⁠⁠@Realfoodology⁠⁠  YouTube | ⁠⁠@Realfoodology⁠⁠  Website | ⁠realfoodology.com⁠⁠  Realfoodology Podcast | ⁠⁠@Realfoodology⁠⁠  Alex Clark Instagram | ⁠⁠@realalexclark⁠⁠  Instagram | ⁠⁠@poplitics⁠⁠  Facebook | ⁠⁠@realalexclark⁠⁠  X | ⁠⁠@yoalexrapz⁠⁠  YouTube | ⁠⁠@RealAlexClark⁠⁠  Spotify | ⁠⁠@Culture Apothecary⁠⁠  Apple Podcasts | ⁠⁠@Culture Apothecary⁠⁠  'Culture Apothecary' ⁠⁠Merch OUT NOW!⁠⁠ Glass tumblers, weekly wellness planners, hats, crewnecks and more.

Found My Fitness - Rhonda Patrick Key Takeaways Tips for maintaining consistency: (1) What gets you excited to work out?; (2) What exercise do you enjoy and have low pain with?; (3) What will you execute consistently?Variables for building strength: (1) Mechanical tension; (2) Number of hard sets; (3) Training muscles at long lengths under tensionFactors that increase the risk of injury: (1) Increase in training load and/or volume when you aren’t prepared; (2) Psychological stress – what happens in the mind affects the body (and what happens in the body affects the mind); (3) Sleep quality is a big lever for injury risk and pain management Form doesn’t move the needle on injury risk – tissue adaptation matters more“The best time to start lifting weights is right now.” – Layne NortonHave joint pain or never exercised? Start with lighter weights and movements that either don’t cause pain or induce less painIt almost doesn’t matter what you start with – do whatever keeps you consistentMost practical tip for protein intake: Shoot for about 1g/lb bodyweight – or more depending on goals, but consume as much as you want balancing other macros to be properly fueled for exercise and recoverySeed oils are contributing to the health crisis – but probably not because they’re inherently bad Seed oils are not innocuous but energy toxicity is a big chunk of what’s happening, we’re eating too much and moving too littleSeed oils are also more representative of consuming more processed foodsBottom line: There is no strong evidence to avoid seed oils, as long as you’re still controlling for overall diet quality and calories – focus on diet quality and the bigger picture“Have guidelines, not rules.” – Layne NortonMost people believe what they want to believe regardless of the evidenceSticking to water is good, but if you switch to no- or low-calorie drink from full calories, it will save a ton of caloriesKeeping your body fat down is the best way to protect your health; how you get there is less important than getting there – the most important thing is consistencySupplements won’t do the work for you but they might help you recover fasterRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGet my exact protocols for boosting levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and enhancing cognition Discover my premium podcast, The Aliquot Dr. Layne Norton is a Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences, a professional bodybuilder, and a champion powerlifter. We discuss why most people aren’t training too hard, when to go to failure, whether seed oils are “the” central cause of chronic disease, why having a slow metabolism isn’t a credible reason for being overweight (for most), and the sustaining power of good habits. We also get into controversies around the carnivore diet, diet sodas, artificial sweeteners, intermittent fasting, and much more.
