Dr. Paul Saladino is a double-board certified physician, author, and podcaster who challenges conventional dietary norms to promote optimal health. He graduated from medical school at the University of Arizona in Tucson and completed his residency at the University of Washington in Seattle. After residency, he attained board certification as a Physician Nutrition Specialist. Throughout his medical training, Dr. Saladino observed that Western medicine often fails to address the root causes of chronic illnesses, focusing instead on symptom management. This realization led him to explore the role of nutrition in health and disease. He believes that nutritional choices are central to many chronic conditions deemed irreversible by conventional medicine and that most chronic illnesses are preventable and reversible through dietary changes. Dr. Saladino advocates for an animal-based diet, emphasizing nutrient-dense animal foods, as the most species-appropriate diet for humans. He coined the term "Animal-Based Diet," which has become a widespread nutritional philosophy helping tens of thousands of people heal daily. In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Saladino hosts "The Paul Saladino MD Podcast," where he discusses topics related to health, nutrition, and wellness with esteemed guests. He is also the founder of Heart & Soil, an Austin, Texas-based company producing organ meat-based supplements, and Lineage Provisions, which offers meat and protein snacks made from regeneratively raised animals.
