- Am I running from the law, or just exploring a slightly different way of life?
Find out in this week's episode of Controversial Thoughts!
You'll hear about how I discovered Santa Teresa, and why this place has allowed me to live out my own version of #theremembering in a unique way...
Want to hang out with me and a bunch of other #animalbased folks here? I'm organizing an #animalbased gathering down here July 23rd-26th. There will definitely be lots of organs, meat, beach volleyball, surfing, swimming, frisbee, sun, and community- all of the things that help us remember who we are as humans and where we've come from!
Stay tuned for more details about how to sign up (it will be free)!
#theremembering
I'd love to see more of Costa Rica in your videos!
I'm happy for you Dr Saladino. I spent many of my early years fishing scuba diving skin diving. This year will be my first fall being retired at 64. I'll be spending much of my time in the woods community with nature, hunting whitetail deer with my longbow.
35 years in the medical field not looking back.
Ill never understand how killing an animal could be part of peoples day and vacation even. Hunt if you like but the way people paint it as some sort of vacation highlight is creepy, to say the least.
From a costarrican that leaves in Chicago, Im feeling pretty dumb right about now...
Now, how to move down there ??? Ive done some research yet I need to know from you and TIA, Deb
@@deborahschaub2925 hi, costarrican here 👋 I live in Santa Teresa in case you need a hand
I think the issue will be when everyone and their dog start living there. Maybe it’s already happened like Puerto Rico, where the locals are infuriated?
@jasontaylor4399, That’s already happened. Tons of North American and European expats living in Costa Rica. Everyone and their brother is running a “yoga retreat”, “fitness retreat” or something similar.
@@jasontaylor4399 literally 100% of Americans are descendants of immigrants and people have this negative view of Americans moving to other countries lol makes zero sense
I got refractive surgery in 1995. Worst thing I have ever done. If it works for, that is great; but if it doesn’t...you are screwed for the rest of your life. Think REAL hard before you let someone mess with your eyes. You realize really fast that contacts are not a big deal compared to not being able to see correctly ever again.
Yep. Happened to a friend. Horrible pain every day since lasik
I have worn glasses for almost 49 years. It sucks, yes, but I can continue to get new lenses when I need them. New eyes? Nope.
Stay away from any eye surgery . You will regret it . I tried . I really regret what I did . Now I need bilateral corneal transplants ! 🤷♂️
Make sure you get a few consultations from different places. I had mixed results. There are complications that could happen for 1 out of 100 people for some side effects, but I have a lot of those rare things happening to me in life medically and not medically so I'm undecided and will reevaluate in a year. I didn't qualify for LASIK, but trans PRK.
I had lasik in 2014 and my procedure was successful. Do your best due diligence and seek out the best practitioner. For those with botched procedures, I'm so sorry. Perhaps someone can repair it (understood if you're hesitant for a round two). Anyhow, I wish you all improved eye health whatever way that comes.
if monocrop hurts soils and stops it growing nutritious food then i'd rather just eat meat and let the cows graze on the grass that protects the soil. who needs all these plant crops that need soil tilling and let it bake in the sun
Tilling is not necessary, and neither are factory farms but that’s the world we live in.
@@lucam2942 tilling is necessary to produce the amount of food capitalism requires.
@@georgearnold841 How much of that food is actually being used to feed our food?
My son’s has been using heart and soil products for his wife for their second child and the baby’s doctors report is exceptional. Dr has never seen such a healthy baby for her age as a new born. My daughter is starting to take them too. Thank you for your vision!!!
Awesome now keep him healthy and away from All vaccines, to preserve health!
Save $ and get real food instead
He overprices
@Super Mario lol I get it from a local farms via a butcher it’s not Walmart.
The vegan mafia 😂💀
Dr Paul Saladino: Medical Doctor, ladies man, radical dude, gnarly surfer and travel agent... Quite the impressive resume you have built, my man. You have changed my families life and everyone whom we have passed this knowledge onto. Thanks 🤙💪🥩
Always suspected that about skin cancer. Excited to see a video exploring skin cancer in relation to seed oils.
There is a link.....no doubt. When I switched from margarine to butter, I found I could stay out in the sun way longer without burning.
I never need suncream since I minimised the omega 6 fatty acids in my diet, even as a white guy in 38 Celsius full sun. My new diet protects me better than factor 30 used to
I appreciate your enthusiasm for the meat only diet. You exemplify what you have been talking about for quite some time. I hope your July 'tribal gathering' in Costa Rica goes as well as you expect and that your health remains as glowingly obvious at it now seems. Before the pestilence came to so dominate our lives, I was happy living a slightly more sedentary life under a Philippines' sun. I agree that measured exposure should not imply layers of clothing and bathing in sunscreen oils. My daughter and I regularly walked our dog from about 5.00am, so that by 7.00am we could gain the full benefit of the sun rising from behind Mount Arayat, in Angeles City. I would love to join you in July, and were it not for the persistence of this apocalyptic horseman, would be searching the internet for a ticket. Unfortunately I cannot consider international travel at the moment because of the restrictions. My wife, daughter and I are trapped in Australia where our 'nanny-state' authorities insist we must remain. Australia is not such a bad place to be but I resent having my freedoms so prescribed. My daughter and I are in constant ketosis and stay fairly well on a meat only diet. My wife manages her Hashimotos immune system issues by following a similar diet, only she insists on 3 meals a day. She is also very fond of avocados and blueberries which she eats mixed in Greek yoghurt each morning along with bacon. Funnily enough, my wife remains a constant 42 kilograms despite eating more than my daughter and I, who restrict ourselves to a 20:4 routine. Maybe it's the dairy?
We love Costa Rica and only hope to spend half the year there❤️❤️you described it perfectly 🙌
Please i ask what was your process to move to CR ?? I’m SO needing to move there as i considered another one of our states to move to that would cost twice as much. Hawaii. CR is the right place for me, I just need to know the inside information. TIA, Deb
@@deborahschaub2925did u ever move to CR?
I'd think twice about getting Lasik eye surgery doc.
Agreed. My wife's best friend is indirectly related to a Lasik eye surgeon... even she said she would never get Lasik. Lasik is a surefire way to have all sorts of eye side effects. Yikes! I noticed that my lack of eating vegetables has significantly improved my already good eyesight.
I second that. My brother did & has had dry eye issues ever since. Seems that’s a little mentioned but common problem.
I'm a diagnostic radiologist.. so my eyes are my money maker. At least for another 2 years until I early retire. Not an option for me for now.
I got laser eye surgery, best decision of my life. I went from legally blind to perfect 20/20 vision with no negative side effects.
At this time I live in Mexico and LOVE panama, costa rica, nicaragua, honduras, el salvador guatemala, Peru, Columbia (lived there for a few years),............ the sad part about ALL of these countries is how much Coke Cola they consume and the abuse of big companies / rich over the poor people. Good and bad everywhere of course. The sea and jungles are awesome ! So easy to find fresh fruits and veggies and a lot of tiny farms that sell Fresh meat still on the hoof : ) During my time in Columbia and Peru the fresh fish and eating the whole fish is awesome. Here in Mexico it is super easy to get liver, heart, stomach and intestine (Tripas). There is a city here in Mexico call Guaymas, tons of sardines and crabs fresh from the sea daily. Absolutely hear you and so agree
Wow I almost could've gone to the gathering. I hope you do another one. Fantastic idea!
You are absolutely in the best place possible. Your peace and happiness shines through. We have all have to become selfish and put ourselves first at some point in our lives. Good to see you so happy.
How about doing your blood work while you're still there? 3 months of sun and low stress may have a measurable effect in your labs.
Great point! Would love to see the results as well. I believe the sun and stress reduction would most likely have great benefits to blood work
yea, the last time he showed blood work .. it wasn't so great.
I don't know why but I just have this nagging feeling like I need to get out of the states
Get out while the gettins good.....
The west coast is getting very active geologically...maybe that is what you sense if you are in that area? Check out Morning DEW if you want to know more.
Get out or get self sufficient!
@@sarahb.6475 yes im in Oregon. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@goosegirl941 right! I need to sell everything and get a piece of property
I am sold, although I may not make it to Costa Rica anytime soon....I have tried your products and I find your dietary theories fascinating and valid....actually considering the carnivore with fruit idea to see how that meshes with my lifestyle and activity level.....have a great day.
I am moving my family to CR for the same reasons Paul. We will be in Santa Teresa in September.
Where did you stay?
Absolutely hilarious that this video opened with an ad for plant based snacks😂
You're becoming the Carnivore "Dr. John McDougall" haha. He used to do a Costa Rica retreat every year for vegans down there.
The guy from mastering diabetes was doing the same
Yeah but this sounds doppppppe. I don’t know what the underlying understanding is with vegan agenda, but living the way mr. Paul is talking about, sounds complettttte.
Yes Costa Rica is big on fruit.
Costa Rica is the best place I've ever been, everyone there is always happy and smiling, and I've never seen so many cows, it's awesome! I can't wait to go to the Osa peninsula
I wish the Costa Ricans in NYC would go back then. Because they are arrogant and nasty here and constantly engaging in prostitution irregardless of children around.
I lived in Costa Rica for 9 years. Since I was 19. Now 31. I was always happy there. Came back to NY over a year ago. Had a bad mental breakdown. Can’t wait to move back to Costa Rica. My wife is Tica, i met her while living there and she CAN’T WAIT to move back too… Pura vida Paul🇨🇷 imm also Paul S jaja
Thank you for sharing! It just so happens that eating meat, walking barefoot and soaking up the sun 🌞 are all very enjoyable!
hey Paul and guys, it is about two year project to fix ones vision did you not know?
I believe it is easier for us low carb eaters. I had -3.2 left and -2.7 right
now it is 20/20 or better when ever I need. Please check it out or ask more before going under knives. Yours Truly. Mark Warren is my hero. Jake Steiner is ok too but Mark realy stood out IMHO.
I moved to Brazil and I'm loving it here. There is fresh fruit and meat and vegetables and wonderful people here also.
Great, now please proceed to the favelas and help eradicate poverty. You can start by giving away your fresh meat and produce to the women and children.
OMG! So happy for you! I was going to suggest you start an ancestral retreat series. Glad to hear it! Rock on!
MAN I AGREE WITH YOU 100000% PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY SUPPOSED TO BE IN DIRT ALL THE TIME, BAREFOOT ALL THE TIME, MOVING ALL THE TIME AND IN THE SUN ALL THE TIME EATING MEAT ORGANS AND FRUIT!!! YOUR WORK IS AMAZING PAUL
When’s the next animal based reunion in Costa Rica?
It still amazes me I can be in the full noon sun for hours without ever burning. Back in the day I had to start with 15 minutes of sun exposure in the spring, and needed serious after sun products. On keto/carnivore my skin just gradually browns .. Not sure if it's the seed oils or carbs, or the combination, but I'm happy go be able to get my vitamin D safely without burns.
It’s cuffing out seed oils and increase in dietary cholesterol. The skin can’t handle UV if it doesn’t have the usable fats
Oh yes........I knew it was all about the "remembering". So happy for you. You should interview Dr. Ken Berry once again. He and Neisha have started a new YT channel where they will be starting up their regenerative homestead in Tennessee..... He and Neisha are also "remembering". I'm excited to follow along as they remember too (right here in the US) Hope we can get a house tour soon. Your new home sounds lovely~
I'll be in Potrero in March 2022! I hope the animal based gathering goes well and perhaps another one could be planned for later March 2022. :-) Maybe I can talk the wife into a long weekend flight out in July.
💚 Yes please make the gathering a regular thing! That would be a wonderful family vacation for my adult children 💚
Costa Rica is where it's at! My little family of 5 just spent 3 months there. So chill, good people, great beaches, amazing food. Love it! Just recently switched over to animal based about a week ago. Already feeling way better, sleeping better ... thanks for all of your videos!
Visiting for 3 months and living are two different things. Spend a few years, high crime, economic strife and desperation, it's not that chill.
I'm a US expat retiree living full-time in Cuenca Ecuador. I buy regeneratively raised beef from the Shuar indigenous peoples and steaks from grass-fed cows in Uruguay. Cows are grazed on the grass in the vacant lots in the housing development I live in! However, it's nearly impossible to get suet. Supermarket chain stores have an entire aisle stocked with seed oils. May bop up to CR in July for the first gathering of the radical folks! 😎
I’m from Ecuador you just need to look in a butcher for SEBO
man, i love CR.. have thought about moving there for a while.. My biggest thing is what to do there work wise.. i wouldn't be able to move here and just do nothing. thanks for the inspiration Paul!
The Formula: Carnivore + Calisthenics + Play in Sun + Love (Friends & Family) + Service = The Good Life
Great Formula! But I think I will add + Sleep + Low(er) Stress to the above.
Calisthenics over strength training?
Saladino isn't a carnivore, he eats lots of plants, he's 'animal based'. You could argue that labels don't matter, but maybe they do, when someone claims to be the "Carnivore MD", writes a book called the "Carnivore Code", and yet .. eats plants. If "Carnivore" doesn't mean animal-products only, then it loses all meaning and anyone can hijack it for their own individual uses, and then where does that leave us trying to share a universal language.
Lassik is not evolutionarily consistent.... 😂
"we're meant to be dirty"....agreed
I just love how lit up you are! It's such a beautiful thing. I totally feel everything you're saying. ❤🔥
I am doing know the animal base diet foods for 2 months. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Fruits, raw kefir, raw cheese, raw butter, raw honey and I do incorporate some fiber. My gut/ UC is gone! Remission - all inflammatory issues i had are gone. Like you, I am an ocean person. Grew up living in the ocean with my family, but here in the states you know in the office all day. About to make some radical changes! I need to go back to my life the way i grew up and lived with much slower pace. Following your way of eating made an incredible difference in my system/body. Your way of eating is the way we ate in the past. My mother, grandparents, great parents they all grew up with cows, chickens etc everything fresh!!
I agree with the guy who cautioned against lasik. I have listened to a couple of interviews by eye docs who explain the risks of permanent ongoing issues. Just take your contacts out and be outside for periods of time without needing to be doing anything requiring glasses/contacts.
Honestly, i have tons of respect for your outlook.
I had this same idea back in 2008 when the market first crashed. Now second big world situation. I’m thinking about long term even more especially while im still young. Time to live a life of purpose and not being stuck in our homes isolating. I’m new to your channel. I can’t wait to go through your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I love the animal based gathering idea!!!!
Dang! I was living just a few hours North when you shot this.
People gathering is awesome! Great idea. ❤
Paul, you mentioned not wearing contacts to get full spectrum light. I would love to hear more on this as I have worn contacts for the last 25 years and have questioned the UV blocking of the contacts myself. Maybe a video about this if you haven't already. I am quite interested.
When I started adding vitamin A and magnesium to my diet, I only wore my contacts mostly for driving and hiking. I’ll take a little blurriness over constantly irritated eyes
Ah Paul, What a lovely invitation! Such a shame I'm a whole year late watching this video. Love your videos and wish you all the very best.👌Hasta la vista!
Yay for animal based gatherings! I want to start an animal based healing retreat center in Austin where I live. After being v*ccine injured for over a year, I think carnivore, limbic retraining and breathwork are finally going to heal me.
I will plan to be there in July! Very cool.
You do make me wish I were fit enough to "come out and play"... sounds fun! Maybe once I'm a year into my Carnivore journey.
You have at least six weeks - a great beginning for your fitness journey! By working out every other day you have at least 21 good sessions, more if you’re motivated. And you should be motivated by the idea of sun and beach and hanging with your tribe. The best time to start is now!!
Please talk more about life in Costa Rica. The pros and cons in comparison to living in the West. The cost of living, housing, rate of poverty, crime, access to good quality meat etc
Two words, Paul.
"Tica Linda"
Enjoy paradise, my friend.
Awesome idea!
Been itching to go to a beach - how firm are the dates? Should we purchase travel insurance?
Have you met Kyllian Guerin yet? He's been surfing your beach for over a decade.
Dude, I had Lasik 20 years ago when it was new and expensive. It's been one of the top 5 things I've ever done! No more contacts, no irritated eyes, no messin' with glasses.
As you age your eyes becomes very dry and you need to constantly use eye drops. I wouldn’t recommend it.
@@sammacc4751 IDK, I'm 49 and haven't had any issues with dry eyes. But thanks for the heads up!
Do they have good meat there? Affordable?
I was in Costa Rica for 7 months in 2019 and was able to eat excellent steak all the time, no problem.
Pura Vida!!! I love it there. Did a week-long Yoga retreat at La Casona across from the Drift bar. AMAZING beaches and great surfing. I can definitely see why you would stay. My wife and I are wanting to go back soon. Maybe July? 🤔
Hey doc: as far as sun exposure .. . I've been a surfer girl for 40+ years and I have noticed I can stay out in the sun more with less effect on my skin since I've gone carnivore (1.5 years now) I don't get burnt as much and my lips that usually get fried don't anymore. Crazy! I use to get sun blisters on my lips when out in the ocean and I had one bump that was there all the time, for many years (that disappeared in a few weeks after going carnivore) Craaaa-Zee!! Costa Rica is def on my bucket list . . . . sounds like it's finally time to get there . . . how did you pick Santa Teresa?? I know the waves are good there!! lol
Yes and what is the process to move PERMANENTLY to CR ????? Blessings, Deb
I mean it’s a great message but on the realistic side of things one Has to make money in order to live and survive these days. it’s an unfortunate outcome of the monetary system
Passive income or income gotten online is accessible today. Good luck!
Amazing. Soon come 🙏
This is on my white board as a goal to be able to fly down for this. Your talks have lead me into my own research that’s changed my life.
Living the life. You sold me on the idea when you released that one podcast about living in the modern zoo.
Paul I’ve been following you for two years I basically am full animal based and moving to Costa Rica march 1st with my pregnant fiance!
I work as fitness coach online helping people get healthier and I’m blessed enough to live a slower paced naturally healthy life with my family only at 24. You have been a huge inspiration for my move!!!
nice
I'd love to come visit you in Costa Rica, sadly here in Victoria, Australia we are now in our 4th lockdown and borders are all shut!
Lockdowns still..... Yikes. So sorry. I hear Australia like Canada is hard-core! Over in the SW US..... out and about in the sun....camping, hiking, eating out, library, biking, even went to our towns Gem show
Ugh. Sorry to hear that
You fell in love with the Pacific!!!! Stay Radical!!!! Cheers!!!
The Pacific
I'm thinking of retiring in costa rica. I would like to learn more about it.
I can’t do July, but if you host another one in November/early December, I’m there!
North in the summer, South in the winter. 😁
Sounds like you have a pretty amazing life. The gathering this summer sounds awesome. I am leaning in the carnivore direction this year. My family doesn't get it. My goals are simple to feel better than ever before and do as well as possible in my real estate business. I am grateful for all your information on animal based eating. I am hoping 2023 will be the best year ever for me. Surfing in Costa Rica every day sounds fantastic.
I’m visiting Costa Rica in November and could not be more excited. And this makes it even more enticing. How are the steaks down there?😋Pumped to be outside non stop while there!
My in laws have lived in Jaco CR and you’re right on with what you said. There is no rat race in CR, family time is very important, and it’s just so chill.
Excellent coffee as well!
You just summarized all the reasons why I just bought a half acre of land on the west coast of Azuero peninsula in Panama. 1 mile from the best surf beach in the country. Where the water meets the jungle baby. I am with you, they can keep the strip malls, cell phone towers etc, I’m heading back to Nature.
NO no no... not in July... November, December, January, February .... THAT is when we need Costa Rica!!! (Says a Canadian)
The Jake Steiner method has worked wonders for my eyes. All natural.
Dude I’m so in for July! Love your content as always! You are so passionate
I visited Costa Rica. The best coffee. The whole food was good. The US enclaves were not much cheaper than the US. The big cities were dangerous. Not great seeing the guard standing there with a pistol. Once you leave the cities, it really was lovely. People seemed friendly. I assume that theft is a big deal. Every building that I saw had bars on the window, even the ones on coffee plantations.
San José is dangerous, not the Cities. I only know 3 people who got robbed in Costa Rica and it was in San José (capital) after living their whole life on another city, few visits to that place and they lost their phones
Of course, is Latin America 🤷🏻♀️
Theft is beyond a big deal, it's a culturally accepted way of life and violent crime is way higher then reported.
Congratulations Dr Saladino! It sounds very inspiring :-)
Ok, I'll admit it... I'm jealous haha! Costa Rica sounds like a dream!! Congratulations doc! Maybe someday I'll figure out how to make it happen for me
It's like all my fav people know each other.. Tucker Max. Awesome to hear
I got to visit Tamarindo Costa Rica in January of 2020 before the pandemic hit and it was beautiful. Nice beach town not too far from Santa Cruz. I plan to go back one day, just waiting for things to get better in the world.
100%....Man already have a trip planned to Colombia in August so can't do CR in July but, will be down there for 2 weeks in Dec. Can't wait to be down there full time next year. Just started heart and soil
I like the concept of remembering. This is how God intended us to live. The Garden of Eden 😊. I think this is what God will bring us back to. “But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.””
I Corinthians 2:9 😊
I feel this: the idea that I don’t want to consume animals because it saddens me that animals have to die in order to sustain us. I’ve been vegetarian, vegan and most recently I eat poultry and fish, but I have had GI issues for years (been gluten free for over a decade) and most issues subsided until recently when I’ve noticed digestive issues (bloating, irregular BM, etc) and some minor skin concerns.
I really want to jump on the diet Dr. Paul is recommending but I do struggle with that compassion factor, however misplaced or juvenile it may be, and would love to hear if any other ex-vegans or ex-vegetarians could provide guidance on how to get past that mental block.
Many thanks!!
If we didn't breed these animals for food they would have gone extinct. Several varieties of pig and cow have been lost to extinction because people stopped eating them.
Former vegetarian who's soul felt tortured for eating animals... go carnivore! My health is sooo good now. Learn to hunt or support local farmers & butchers. It's worth it
I got laser eye surgery, best decision of my life. I went from legally blind to perfect 20/20 vision with no negative side effects.
♫ Where did we come from? Why did we go? Where did we come from Saladino? ♪
I got lasik eye surgery 2 years ago. If you’re back in Texas in the future I highly recommend Mann Eye in the Houston area.
Paul - as someone who hasn’t complied with mandates, what’s the culture like there for someone who just wants to live a simple, safe, life of natural health. Are they requiring this there and how are peoples attitudes there about this? Thx.
I am very happy for you, Paul! Enjoy your life! 😊
How noble.
Costa Rica sounds awesome! Enjoy!
Sounds wonderful! I know your family will love it!
I have herd that you have to be EXTRA careful of the poisonous snakes ! I have a friend in the SURF club that lived there for 25 years.
Poisonous snakes are not the problem as long as you don't eat them. It's the venomous snakes that you need to be careful about.
Loving your podcasts bro... im from New Zealand where grass feed beef/sheep/chickens is the norm!! It took a while for me to get used to everything here is grain feed, killing Americans through diet!! Good sh!t my bro...
Happy to hear about your Costa Rica life. We've been living an unconventional life on our sailboat and in the mountains of Mexico and Guatemala. Do you ship to Guatemala? Also, are you having your eyes done in CR? I need cataract surgery and don't want to go back to US. Thx
Also, we'd love to come. Will you be posting visa info? We'll be coming from Guatemala. Thanks!
Be sure to pay attention to the labels on the sea salt.... Most is fluoridated......
I live in Europe and my whole life I always been drawn to warm places. Im thinking about moving to Spain or Greece.
Nice... Also, if I was in Costa Rica I would take a close look at the female costarican population 😊
As a costarrican, if you want to come to my country; try to avoid San José, it’s the place where everybody gets robbed. Other than that, most places are pretty save, just listen to the people where to go
Can't wait, get the dates to us fast!
Pura Vida!! I’m posting from Costa Rica now!
