This is just one of many topics we cover in today’s episode as I’m joined by Dr. Paul Saladino who is very well known across all social media platforms as the animal based diet guru. Paul once only ate meat for an entire year, then switched his diet to what he follows now which includes fruits, fruit juice, honey, dairy, and even some starches.
