This wasn't an easy share, but it's about time someone thoroughly counters Paul Saladino. I hope he changes his theories against the Carnivore diet. If you are interested in doing bloodwork with our private practice, you can learn more here. www.nutritionwithjudy.com/shopping/lab-work/complete-wellness-panel
Great video! I was not able to do strict carnivore because of bad microbiom. I fixed it with berberine and cat's claw. Maybe Paul has the same problem...
You’re a nit picker and nothing is to your standards. And your book is horrible. Yes there is a lot of fake honey but why not discuss the benefits of real raw honey. @nutritionwithJudy just want to sell more of the book that advises to eat broccoli
Judy, thank you for taking the time to do this in detail and respectfully. It's always refreshing to have my views challenged - I believe it's healthy for the space and both of our communities. The carnivore diet has brought healing to many with autoimmune issues, and the community's commitment is truly remarkable. I'm grateful to have been part of it and still resonate with many of our shared values. I've said for a long time that if something works for you, keep doing it. An animal-based diet with fruits and honey works for many, myself included. I'd love to record a podcast with you or any other carnivore physician, who also would be willing to share their blood work at this level of detail. Best, Paul
A fair statement Paul. And I agree. Bring forth the blood tests and equally dissect them. Only with open minded and respectful debates can we truly get anywhere. Not with dogmatism.
Classy as always, Paul. Love how you said if it works you, keep doing it. I’ve seen so many people bash your diet because fruit messes them up. Maybe so, but so many other people, myself included, thrive off of fruit. It doesn’t have to be one diet that’s the only right one for all humans
Saladino, you always end up giving these messages and it all ends up in nothing. What hsppened with the debate with Gil Carvalho? He's a fool anyway but it would have been constructive for the community to defender yourself against everything he said
@@Paulsaladinomd Well said!!! 👏🏻 Always so kind and respectful. You’ve helped soooo many people (including me) and are doing so much good!!! Keep it up!!
Seriously? Low carb diets like keto and carnivore lead to premature death according to three recent studies: th-cam.com/video/gzeP1obBe30/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rrzR2HzuTXQuEU5n
His way is great, all these influencers would be out if a job if we all ate like Paul, Ive never been healthier and fitter at 41 on a similar diet with rice, processed food is the enemy
If 99% of Americans ate any diet other than SAD, they'd be a lot better than they are now. This is true even of the vegan diet, as it's often healing for people in the short term, often promoting health for the first several years until the most severe nutritional deficiencies catch up with them..
@JonalynYanga yes and potatoes but not the skin, I don't eat anything processed though and have had low bodyfat and 0 health issues my whole life (41 now) but everyone is different I'm an SCSC who owned gyms so I workout a lot and play a lot of sports
Throughout my long low carb journey I’ve noticed that highly active people tend to side with Paul, while people who don’t exercise often or at all benefit from zero carb. Physiologically we can be extreme athletes without carbohydrates but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ideal. I spent 4 years keto and 6 years carnivore and then decided to experiment a bit, and as an extremely active person I’ve found that some carb consumption in the form of fruit & honey targeted around hard workout is incredibly beneficial for recovery, sleep, and hypertrophy. This is what Paul is talking about. These are facts. But ultimately I think self experimentation is best. Take the time to see what works for you and always keep your mind open.
I'm highly active athletically and don't need the amout of carbs Saladino is talking about. I range from 15 grams to 30 grams of carbs a day. I'm fat adapted so I run on fat energy. Saladino misses the sweet taste of sugar when it comes down to it.
@@jimrutherford2773 How can you say it’s because he misses the sweet taste of sugar? I had no energy on carnivore, but I was totally content on the diet and had no cravings. I had to add carbs back for energy. To say I did it because I missed sweets would be wrong. Why jump to conclusions like this?
Carbs are horrible if you store them but seem to be fine when you burn them up. The other issue is that if you eat carbs and don't move you are likely under eating protein
@@jimrutherford2773 - Professionally-trained competitive athletes on high-carb diets won't gain weight. But they still sometimes end up with metabolic diseases like diabetes. Just because someone seems to be tolerating something in the short term, it doesn't necessarily follow it's promoting health long term. That isn't to say all carbs are bad under all conditions. It's just there is a vast difference to eat carbs seasonally, as humans evolved to do, and eating a high-carb diet continuously year round. Saladino based his diet on the Hadza. What he didn't know, as Mary Ruddick pointed out, is that the Hadza only have fruit and honey available for 2-3 months of the year.
Timely video. I liked and subscribed. When one of my cats started throwing up all food, the vet wanted to do $1500 worth of tests before anything else. I said no. The vet basically told me my cat was going to die. I fed her nothing but raw ground beef for five weeks. My cat is fine now and I feed them homemade ground beef, chicken and salmon. I realized my cats were eating better than I was. I stopped eating processed food, chips and other junk food and started eating the same fresh, homemade meats, that I feed my cats. In six months, I lost 15 pounds. A checkup three months ago, showed my bloodwork and blood pressure are fine. Low cholesterol and normal blood pressure. No sign of diabetes. I am slowly eliminating as much non meat from my diet as I can. Instead of buying a loaf of bread for toast, I am buying eggs, etc. Thank you for posting this.
@@chelseaK11 I feed my cats raw ground beef about three days a week. I buy it from a regional grocery chain that obtains its meat from local ranches. The meat is dressed in the butcher department of the store. Meat that is packaged off location or in those 2 or 3 pound tubes should not be used. Most of the time, my cats eat boiled chicken thighs. I also supplement their homemade food with a wet cat food that is grain free and low in calcium and phosphorus. In a perfect world, raw ground beef would supply 100% of a cat's dietary needs. That is not the case, unfortunately. Good luck. Happy Caturday!
Please watch this video in its entirety! When you go Carnivore, it can uncover underlying issues you didn’t realize you had. What Judy so expertly explained is that his issues “going away” are probably only being masked due to fluid retention from eating carbs again. Also, several of his markers are now trending in a less than desirable direction. This video should be watched by everyone in the community and it is a masterclass. Thank you Judy!
Thanks for pointing this out - I think that’s what’s happening for me right now (carnivore uncovered underlying issues.) I guess I’ll have to watch the video in full….
We need more people like this! Just finished reading "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" by Lauren Clark and I had to say its so truth revealing. Industry hides so much from society
Long before Paul Saladino and even before the internet I started on the carnivore diet. I called the Heart Attack Diet! 41 years later you can see what it did to me. Fruity Paul is a marketer, nothing more. He will not debate anyone any more than prominent vegans will. I have not had any health care since 1996, so I might drop dead before tomorrow. Otherwise I feel great and have a lot of energy and no chronic health issues.
@@Ananimous7777that statement is untrue Injury is not inflammation but injuries Can get imflamed Paul will probably deal better with his industry than most due to his lifestyle
You sound bitter. Paul is a great guy. He is sharing his journey now, not pushing it on anyone. Why do people get super mad now about what other people choose to eat?
I almost didn't watch this because I thought it was just going to be another video having a go at Paul. But I have to say I was wrong and I'm glad I watched. Very well done Judy and great, very helpful information. Thank you. I'm sure Paul will get the information he needs from this as well that will spur him into looking further. Sometimes it just takes another set of eyes.
I stopped following Saladino when he came into the carnivore space and started lecturing long term carnivores that they were doing it wrong. Imagine the hubris of coming into a community and not listening to the stories of the people who had healed themselves by unsung the carnivore diet for 10 to 20 years. Those long term carnivores explored every way of doing carnivore and found that fatty red meat made them feel their best. But he would not listen, and even lectured people who were trying to tell him about their own lived experience. He doubled down on the “need” for organs, ate too much organ meat, then said carnivore “didn’t work”.
This is exaclty what happened. There was another organ meat guy. I think he was a chef or asomething and he disappeared because he developed spme sort of problems.
He literally always says: “get organs fresh, if you can’t find that, buy my supplement”. That is extremely holest for someone trying to sell you something.
Paul is an outlier that nobody should ever compare themselves to. Who can afford to live in the tropics? who has enough time on their hands to surf 2-3 hours every day? Who can eat organs on an astronomic level every day? I read Paul's book, and it was not bad in it's original form. This was long after reading the REAL carnivore book by Shawn Baker who knows how to create a construct and live it. Paul has never stuck to a single construct in his existence in this space. Every time you turn around, he re-invents himself. He also cherry picks studies to agree with his diet in the moment. I unfollowed him a few years ago when he went looney tunes. Fructose is not a good thing to fool around with, and I don't care how many studies you can quote. It is preferentially and almost exclusively processed by the liver and at the root of all evils when it comes to NAFLD and other metabolic disorders. DO NOT FOLLOW this man or listen to anything he has to say.
Fructose ain’t doing nothing to you. Quit being fat and you wouldn’t have a problem. You crazy carnivore people are what’s wrong with the diet fad bullshit. Do what’s best for you but quit spreading bullshit!!
If you watch the video she says his bloodwork is less than ideal. Carnivore probably uncovered some underlying root cause issue. He has liver issues and inflammation markers he very likely has CIRS. Eating carbs masks the symptoms but he will continue to get worse if the CIRS or maybe chronic infection or whatever is no addressed.
Paul is not an outlier. Everyone consumed carbs. What were obesity rates before 1960? The answer is effectively zero. No clinical trial needed to point out this basic fact that people ate carbs and were fine before 1960. This is a simple truth that for some reason everyone in keto space wants to ignore.
Go look at a chart of carb consumption rates from 1900-2020 and then compare obesity rates. There is no correlation. In fact from 2000-2020 carbs dropped 2% and obesity rates doubled.
I guess I don’t understand when they say you can’t do carnivore long term. But the diet that got you healthy isn’t recommended for long term, so go back to what made you sick. 😩🤦♂️
I think in some cases people start from a standard American diet, go carnivore and then move on to some version of a whole foods diet. So there is a big difference before and after, fwiw
Hey Judy, appreciate the video. I'm 56 and have weight trained 39 years. I'm very active (train 4-5 days a week and play pickleball 4-5 days a week). I went on the Carnivore diet almost 3 years ago. I was very strict, ate high fat, and bought local cows, fluctuating between grass fed/finished and grass fed, grain finished. I live in Alberta, Canada and we are well known for the quality of our beef. I'm also not a foodie so eating Carnivore is easy. I can eat the same thing all the time no problem. Anyways, I had the same issues with cramping and palpitations that Dr. Saladino had. I added electrolytes at the 1 year mark and things still did not resolve themselves. In those 18 months I didn't cheat. It was fatty meat, eggs, and some dairy (hard cheese and butter mostly). I love eating Carnivore, and I really wanted it to work. I tried to allow my body to balance, but it never did. Having weight trained as long as I have I've had cramping issues, but nothing like what I experienced in those 18 months. I had them in muscles that had NEVER had cramps before, like lats, shoulders and lower abs (which were the worst). I was actually really disappointed with Paul when he went to fruit and honey but after 18 months I decided I needed to try something different. I added in fruit. Berries, kiwi and watermelon. All my issues cleared up in the first week. I also seemed to keep all the benefits of Carnivore. It's now been a year of being meat based and still no issues. I think I've had one cramp in the last year in a calf muscle. I have my own theory as to why I need some carbohydrates and it has to do with muscle glycogen. I believe that because I'm so active that I use up all my muscle glycogen a dozen times a week. If there are no carbs to reload the muscle with afterwards then the muscles become electrolyte deficient because electrolytes use the carbs as a carrier to insert themselves in the muscle. I agree that Paul went overboard on carbs but I also think highly active people do need some carbs in their diet.
I get electrocute imbalances too. I tried eating one strawberry and had stomach cramps and slight diarrhea. I tried a few different times with different fruits but always a very small price to see what would happen and the same thing happened. Thoughts?
@@slowslug3247 Someone I follow suggests fermented foods. These are high in probiotics. I do these. Sounds like you have some gut biome issues. Work on gut health. Fermented foods (sauerkraut, for one - I make myself... sooooo easy). Kombatcha. Yogurt. Keifer. All high in probiotics. Have you had antibiotics any time recently. They are the gut biome killer. Look into Dr. O'Mara on YT.
Same here. I am a farm labourer in tropical Australia and my job is EXTREMELY hard. I did strict carnivore for 4 months but I had ZERO energy, no sleep, cramps, heart palpitations. When I introduced a small amount of carbs, all these issues vanished and I feel so good now, 15 months in. I'm 30, I eat omad 1kg beef, 5 eggs, a piece of parmigiano cheese, a piece of butter, a cup of bone broth and then a bowl of greek yoghurt with some honey and 2 bananas. I feel so damn good. I believe that's around 60 grams of carbs a day and I refuse to believe that is bad for me.
Step 1: Eat an insanely unnatural amount of organs, until acquiring vitamin A toxicity Step 2: Revert to sugar/carb addiction, which appears to fix problems from Step 1 as it blocks nutrient uptake, thus slowing down the hypervitaminosis. Ignore the fact that it skews uptake of all the OTHER vitamins too, causing all sorts of other problems both short and long-term Step 3: Instead of fixing the root problem of organ overconsumption, double down and start an ORGAN SUPPLEMENT BRAND so more people can follow the same confused path Step 4: Profit
@@JamesBond-zd5jx I didn't see through it for several months, unfortunately. He was the guy who originally got me questioning seed oils, which I respect. But that respect had a quick expiration date once I found out practically everything else he says is nonsense.
You’re brilliant Judy. Love this level of analysis. Must have taken you ages to gather this info but it is truly worthwhile. We need correct information from trustworthy people like you. Thx Judy.
I got into the carnivore diet mainly because of Drs Ken Berry and Paul Saladino. Maybe I misheard Saladino's name as "Salad? No!". But now he's "Salad Yes". As well as carbs, fruit juice and honey yes. Nope, I'm not falling for it. I'll stick with Ken Berry and Judy.
We never ate this much fruit in nature. 99% of all these fruits are man made, GMO and, full of sugar. Over training also lowers T levels as he been doing that for years. He drink honey as if it is water then he goes run around like a hamster to burn it up.
Saladino was a fraud all along. He doesn't even know what a ketogenic diet is. It's not zero carbs. It can be up to 30 grams of carbs a day depending on the individual. He was a sugar addict and still is. He's like the guy you knew who got off drugs and you were happy for him then found out he fell off the wagon again.
He doesn't eat enough fat, therefore adding more fuel in the form of carbs made him feel better. Same thing would have happened if he would have added more fatty meat instead of frickin papayas and honey.
No, you have it factually backwards. He was high fat but moderate protein. You need sufficient protein to provide taurine which then regulates electrolytes. He was obsessed with staying in ketosis instead of consuming enough protein to spike his insulin and thus retain his electrolytes. Additionally, I think some people on carnivore cannot thrive until they remove added salt. Some should only get sodium from meat and fish alone. Old school carnivores did not use any salt
What he did was constantly swallowing dried up organs and all kinds of other crap instead of just simple meat, fat, water, and salt. He complicated something that should be simple and your body will let you know when you have those simple things right.
@loriegosnell9355 organs played a role however he still consumes them and doesn't have issues. He was overdoing salt, original carnivores were strictly against adding salt. The salt craze is a product of the keto crowd who need more sodium because they consume plants. Plus he was moderating protein. Protein is just as important as fat particularly in the long term picture
We need more people like this telling us truth! I just finished reading The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark. Its fascinating what they hide from society.
I'm 1.33 minutes in, and horrified at his advice for obese people! Paul was not doing a 'natural' carnivore diet - he was massively over consuming organs which will have created huge imbalances in his system.
@@martakaczmarek6886 he was taking his own company's (Heart & Soil) supplements. You obviously haven't watched nearly as many videos of his as I have. I used to like his channel.
It's not the organ meat that was the problem. It's the amount of sugar especially the high amount of fructose he consumes. That's exactly what you don't inject your liver with.
Thank you so much for taking this time and energy to present such a fulsome presentation. Aside from Paul and his potential issues, and pushing back against his fearmongering, you’ve given us an AMAZING lesson in reading blood labs! Wow.
I tried his diet, I gained a lot of weight, felt worse and was continuously hungry. I went completely carnivore and have lost more than the 39 pounds I gained on his diet, I am totally satiated, in fact I have to actually eat more than my hunger indicates, to keep my metabolism up. I started checking my macronutrients and to my surprise many times I need to add fat, up to ten tablespoons of butter a day. My markers are not good but optimal. I do believe his diet is better than the recommended diet of the USDA and FDA. I believe even the vegan diet can be better than the Standard American Diet. Single Ingredient foods, no added sugar, absolutely no vegetable oils, which are in ultra-processed foods.
@joanneclark8256 I gained weight on his meat and a lot of fruit diet. I was also continuously hungry. I went on Carnivore and lost weight and had no hunger. One or two at most meals a day, often eating just to get enough nutrients, not because I was hungry.
It’s fine Paul eats whatever he wants to eat. My problem is he is trying to get everybody to switch with him. Stay true to the message, eat what works best for you. If you feel good no need to change because someone else tells you it’s bad.
Every carnivore influencer is trying to get you to switch to their brand of carnivore in one way or another. All of them. They write books, make great TH-cam videos to increase subscribers, get views and to increase their monetary gains for their social media accounts.
@@valeriereneeharper take for example Dr Ken Berry. His TH-cam channel, KenDBerryMD, earns an estimated $448,230 annually from TH-cam advertising revenue alone. His channel receives about 7.47 million views per month, which translates to around 249,020 views per day. In addition to ad revenue, Dr. Berry likely earns from other sources such as sponsorships, merchandise, and Patreon, which can significantly increase his total earnings.
I don’t follow Paul Saladino’s diet but I’ve seen him say multiple times in the past that he’s not trying to get carnivores to convert. He said he wants them to continue what they’re doing if that makes them feel good, but he’s only getting his message out there for people who can’t seem to heal on carnivore.
The problem I always had with Paul is that he reeks of opportunist. When he went in the liver supplement business he pushed liver. Then I remember him talking about how cheap fruit was in Costa Rica then he started adding fruit and honey and a smoothie business. This is the main problem I have with him. I can’t trust him at all.
He's educated as a psychiatrist. Do we know if he has patients? If not, why not? Those are questions I'd like to know the answers to. How much time and money was spent for him to become a psychiatrist? If he's not a practicing psychiatrist, why?
@@w1975b Paul holds no scientific degrees or qualifications to his name is thus unqualified as an authority on the subject, period. Watch his fruit juice company pop up soon...
An excellent, thorough analysis, Judy. My wife and I paused the video many times to read the notes in more detail and it fills the gaps in our knowledge incredibly. It seemed in one of Paul's videos (which you used) that he was struggling for breath. Perhaps he's suffering from some form of asthma? Nevertheless, it's shocking to see anyone recommending such high levels of carbohydrate consumption. Thank you again for this video. Cheers!
B1 is depleted when carbs are high. Breathlessness is one symptom. B1 is also hard to get from anything but pork - mainly tenderloin. I think the beef only carnivores flirt with deficiency.
@@ccoodd26 ketosis is needed for the treatment of many mental diseases. Including Schizofrenia, Parkinson, anxiety and many others. This no evidence to support your claim. Your brain is made with fats. Your brain need fat for run properly, fat metabolism is the metabolism for default.
Why does he need to be debunked if he is correct? Go look at a chart of obesity rates before 1960. Look at carb consumption rates. Go on, what does it show? People ate plenty of carbs and obesity rates were effectively zero. Even in the 1970’s obesity was extremely low. The diet intervention was not carbs it was ultra-processed oils. Look at oil consumption rates and then revisit obesity rates. What does it show? An actual correlation between obesity and seed oils-NOT carbs. Carb consumption dropped by 2% from 2000-2020 and obesity rates doubled. That’s called negative correlation. No one in keto space is explaining what happened pre-1960 or explaining this at all. They are completely oblivious to this obvious data. Good luck “debunking” it. I learned this from Dr Cate Shanahan not from Paul.
Paul cannot be debunked because he’s correct. It took me probably dozens of hours of research to figure this stuff out. The final nail-*slamdunk* proof is pre-1960’s obesity rates and carb consumption levels. And if you think it’s processed sugars well it’s not that either which is measurable and is part of the “carb” consumption levels. In fact processed sugars have dropped the last two decades (see “sugar free” soft drinks for example).
Keto space gets most of it right but they completely miss essential information. And that is historical obesity rates and carb consumption rates which have mostly remained fairly flat since 1900-2020. Look at 1900 levels and compare to 2020 for example. Objective information.
I appreciate the astounding amount of work you put into this video. Absolutely mind blowing!(the weirder thing is that I can actually understand it all) Thanks carnivore
Holy cow Paul says he eats 300 Grams of carbohydrates a day and calls himself "Carnivore MD" and states he eats a meat based diet. He tries way too hard to impress people with all of his knowledge yet he seems so Manic and out of control😢
Check your comprehension levels. That's not what Paul recommends or says. He recommends carbs based on your activity level per week. Based on my own levels, which are pretty high, he recommends only 150 grams per day. And, he's MUCH more active than me.
and as a highly muscled very active younger male he eats 2 pounds of meat per day when dr Abs eats 5 without all that surfing! I heard that and was shocked I am only 5 feet tall and very inactive and I can easily eat 2 pounds of meat with nothing else at age 61.
*I cannot get over all the judging going on in the comments!* People think only they are right when the truth is that _nobody_ knows for sure! 😂 We all have to experiment to find what works best for us, and if someone comes to a different conclusion than you, that doesn’t make them a bad person for goodness sake!!
Perfect comment! It’s so true, nobody has the answer, yet they act self righteous and owners of truth. Paul has shared this blood work whilst many others haven’t… Telling
@@reginamemoriesforever-vc8ql Thank you so much! Yes, it really is so bizarre. We have become a Gladiator society and people are quick to judge and quick to attack. It’s awful and so uncivilized. :/
@@rb4342Yes but...Speaking in a way that makes him seem like he's hopped up on something isn't looking great for his high carb intake reccomendations and since this is all about health, markers like verbal delivery surely can be a part or our assessment of an influencer
Paul is fake, he tries very hard to give an impression of strong man. He is not. Inside he’s an alcoholic. Fructose is a substitute for liquid fermented sugars aka alcohol
Bummer, his recommendations are exactly what a diabetic wants to hear. Keep eating sugar, ‘healthy’ sugar or ‘natural’ sugar. The Strong Sisters are pushing carbs for people with illness now too, which makes me sad because so many of these families are really trying to heal and with better information they could really use strict carnivore for a few months to improve their symptoms & reduce their sugar addiction that is sadly such a big part of those order ‘healthy diets.’ Dr Eric Westman has the basics on why he uses Keto at a Keto Clinic to heal his patients over the last 25 years.
@@SariPutri-x6v And he makes this clear too. He says that if you diabetic and dont exercise you could have like a apple a day and maybe a spoon of honey too.
Exactly and papayas, pineapples, and most of our sweet fruits are all genetically modified organisms that contain higher amounts of sugar than you would find in nature. There is no way that he is benefiting himself from the amount of sugar he consumes on a daily basis.
I agree, he is wrong ❤ I am diabetic and a athlete. Carnivore is easily the best decision I ever made. I have several issues with his work. Best wishes to everyone. Gotta get to the gym and eat a big fat juicy steak 🥩. Meat it’s what’s for my dinner. Fruit, veggies, honey no way terrible!💪
Weird I am doing better and not just ass pissing the whole time like on carnivore. My workouts are better with carbs included and don’t feel so restricted just but having a bit of fruit and not being a pig.
Fantastic Presentation Judy! Very professional. I have learned a lot from what you share. It has helped me to be my most healthy and feel my best. Thanks for all you do!
Well done, Judy! I think Bart Kay and Ken Berry have also questioned Paul's blood sugar: the A1C doesn't test for blood fructose. Paul seems to think his blood sugar is low and fine based on A1C, but what he's consuming is not mostly a glucose source - it's mostly a fructose source or sources. His glycation could be substantial - this could be a cause of the inflammation you're guessing he's suffering (or a contributing factor).
@@DramaHeart good to know, thx. I liked that Judy is encouraging him to think things through better and to use his gifts to help people. That was positive.
It's not mostly a fructose source. Most fruits are close to 50/50 glucose/fructose. Granted, I think Paul may still take in more than 50 g of fructose per day, which is high I've read, but we'll just have to see how his liver and other stats are affected over more time.
@@MichaelDirk thx, I think some of the influencers have misled me - people say fruit is mostly fructose, and I just looked - and you're right. Well, he's intaking more glucose than we thought and not much of an A1C issue. I am pretty sure if I ate that much fruit, I'd be in trouble. As Judy points out, he seems to have non-keto/non-diet issues/problems.
It sounds like he’s having trouble breathing. Obviously, what he’s doing isn’t working for him. I think he needs to at the very least cut back on the sugar/carbs and organ meats, if not eliminate them altogether. Thank you for making this well informed, common sense video.
I have noticed it on his other video (w... Shawn baker? I can't remember...) defending his diet. I'm not saying his diet is bad or that that's why he's breathing heavy... Just an observation.
I love how the same carnivores that defend their diet because of how good they feel mald like vegans when someone else dares to feel good eating a different way lmfao. He’s clearly healthy and happy
I've noticed that with Paul but also with other carnivore and keto influencers, Ken Berry and Dr Boz to name a couple have an out of breath/ chest weakness you can hear in their voice.
Excellent and thorough! Thanks, Judy! 2+ years Carnivore and I’ve never felt better, been more healthy or more fit my entire life and I’m 62! Better late than never!! 👊😎🥩
@genautelevishn5999 Not true as a flatout generalization. I quit alcohol cold turkey. It was the only way to stop. Was it easy? Hell no, but I'm still here so it wasn't deadly. Interestingly enough, going carnivore has massively reduced my craving for alcohol. I wonder if its tied to a carb/sugar addiction?
@@mandydilley3735 they just means you were a regular drinker. alcoholics physically die from withdrawal symptoms. read up on it and get informed before opening your mouth importantly to such a topic.
Diet is not a one size fits all. I tried carnivore for 10 months when I didn't lose any weight with my Hashimoto's not improving. I was heavily dumping oxylates and after watching Sally K Norton discuss Toxic Superfoods adding some low oxylate plant foods that don't make me bloat helped me to slow down the oxylate dumping. Early on I did make a mistake following one Carnivore podcaster claim we should consume a stick of butter per day until I quickly quit. After switching to high protein, moderate fat and low carbs i easily lost a dress size this year. Thank you 😊
It is a one size fits all actually. Diet is only the first step, not the only step. There are a myriad of things that cause health issues that can't be fixed just by eating meat on its own.
@@Themilkman95 Honestly anytime I see someone say they try carnivore and it didnt work I want to ask what it is exactly that they ate. Some people will eat nothing but processed meats and say they tried carnivore, some people will eat loads of dairy, some will eat high protein low fat. Some people need to go lion diet and cant have any dairy or eggs at all because they have autoimmune issues. Just like some people will say they tried keto by eating nothing but packaged "keto friendly" foods all while never going into ketosis because those foods are meant to be small cheat snacks and not eaten regularly while on keto. Just like you can eat highly processed sugary junk on a vegan diet you can screw up any other diet, even carnivore. I would say the reason "one size doesn't fit all" is because some people need to be more strict with what they cut out before they see meaningful benefits.
amazing video. you did this with such kindness and grace. even though all the comments are harsh and don’t reflect what you were saying at all…I hope he finds more root cause healing
I remember when Saladino started.... He suddenly flipped from promoting a vegetarian diet to Carnivore in what seems like literally overnight... Those who enabled him suddenly had to correct his "science".
I tried recently just as an experiment to drink 500 ml. of orange juice after 2 years on carnivore/ketovore. WORST reactive hypoglycemia ever. First I got serious hunger cravings - the type you NEVER feel on carnivore - then shakiness and unwell. Had to buy an ice cream on the way home just to get my blood sugar up, then slept it off and fasted. Never doing that again.
I had a small reaction couple weeks ago at work when my electrolytes drink had a few carbs in it. I had a slight headache, felt nauseated, and ended up feeling weak and tired because of it, and the electrolytes are supposed to help with your energy, did the opposite for me with carbs, wtf!
It’s interesting, you’re saying someone is wrong that is twice as healthy as you are, interesting. Maybe, just maybe there’s more to it than you think.
The elephant in the room is still that humans have adapted to have 0 grams of carbs in the diet. That makes having MOST of the calories be in the form of carbs kind of counterintuitive.
I really admire how open minded Paul is. He is actively searching for more information and trying new things. I can’t say the same for most doctors or people in general.
Thank you so much Judy! I've been carnivore for 8 years now and sometimes the information around this lifestyle does get confusing. I really appreciate that you took this apart piece by piece. Bravo!
Judy you are the best ❤ and funny enough I was just reading about neutrophils and high blood glucose and here you are with even more incredible information!
I only watched 2 minutes and I'd already like to express that I'm happy you're making this video. The more people call him out on his ignorant-dietary advice, the more people are going to save their health on the long run! Paul messed up big time and lost all of his credibility and my respect for him, not as a human being, but as a person who gives diet advice, because he seems like a nice guy if you put all that aside. I'm almost positive that he thinks he's giving good advice not realizing how dangerous and harmful tell people to consume carbs, sugars and honey, especially for those with metabolic diseases, which are probably the majority of our population here in the states!!
*Paul recently had a guy come through his house in Costa Rica and found mold on all of the wooden cabinets/fixtures. In this video it appears Judy may have hinted that Paul's body is fighting something. Could be from the mold? Paul said he was going to rip out all the wood in his house, so I wonder if that might change some of these results in the future*
I haven't watched yet, but more than the Vitamin A thing, I've seen Bart Kay break down that it may more likely be copper toxicity from the liver that can lead to worsening retention of electrolytes among other things
Watch/listen this video if you can. It is very informative and very useful to the general public. And lucky Paul gets someone as good as Judy to analyse his blood work for free. I wish i could have it! 😢
If Paul was right, wouldn't we see people like Kelly Hogan and Maggie White having really bad electrolyte issues too?? So far, I have not heard them talk about any. Judy, your video makes more sense to me. Thank you. Carnivore is not a magic wand but it sure helps reduce health issues for me. There is still a lot to learn about healing even after carnivore is helping. Paul is throwing the baby out with the dirty bathwater.
He’s throwing the baby out with the bath water? I think that’s what carnivores do. :) Y’all throw out more God given foods than any other diet out there-except for fruitarians I guess. I used to be carnivore (thankfully only for 7 months), and I can’t believe I was willing to throw out so many delicious real foods, and I feel better with them included too.
@@PeaceIsJesusChristwhich foods did you reintroduce? And in which way do you feel better with them? Did you have any serious health issues before you went carnivore? Just curious :-)
@@Namava-o7k Hi there, I reintroduced carbohydrates in the form of fruit and potatoes, and it took about three months for my energy to return (it tanked on carnivore).
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist hi! Thanks for sharing. I feel for me and some other carnivores, male and female, need some carbs in some form to balance our hormones. Even eating only 5-10 grams of apple made a huge difference for me, without it I felt drained, libido was gone, didn’t feel my happy self… last year I included raw dairy, and I don’t eat any apple anymore , and I finally could gain weight and build some muscle. (I am a perimenopausal woman btw.)
@@Namava-o7k Hi! You’re so welcome!! 😊 I’m mid 40s and probably perimenopausal too! I have heard Lillie Cane say her husband had to have carbs in order to gain muscle! From listening to bioenergetics, I really do thinks having adequate carbs is the healthiest way to go. By the way, I told my chiropractor I was considering hormone replacement in the future, and he told me to do female bovine glandulars instead! From my research, I learned that men can grow normal sized breasts by using bovine ovary, so there must be something to it! 😆 Also, I’m sure you’ve heard of the experts all telling women our age that we need to do heavy lifting in order to stimulate the central nervous system to grow muscle, but I have learned that overcoming isometrics will also stimulate the central nervous system, and it is a much, much safer way to build muscle! Best wishes to you!! 😊

Could one of the doctors please answer this question? I'll try to keep it short and concise. What is the main reason to avoid fruit if you are set on carnivore only? It's hard for me to believe that consuming fruit, raw dairy, raw honey or maple syrup is harmful. If it's clean, and local and consumed in appropriate amounts, it tends to make me feel better. Is the concern is that it can causes diseases long term? Diabetes risk? Cognitive disease risk? I feel if you avoid chemicals, dyes, seed oils and processed junk, you can be metabolicly healthy.
"I have eaten and entire Papaya, and entire pineapple, and 3-4 tablespoons of Honey already today.." This dude calls himself a doctor??? That amount of fruit makes ZERO sense.
Sounds like Freelee, except she wouldn't have the honey because she's vegan. Honey isn't an animal food, though, even being processed by bees. It's nectar combined with bee spit = sugar.
@martakaczmarek6886 I listed the 4 types of foods he eats. Where in my statement did I put percentages of each type of food? He himself has stated many times that he usually consumes between 300 grams and 400 grams of carbohydrates daily from fruit and honey.
@@RC-tm8jo You misquotted his motto, which is "meat, fruit and honey", legally its a defamation you write it under the post shaming on him that he is doing it for a business.
@@soulabear9146 I agree, but I started following his content 2-3 years ago, just before he added all these carbs back into his diet, and I’ve watched him age excessively in a short amount of time. It’s a little odd. Maybe glycation is aging him? Too much iron can do that too. Something is not quite right.
My Dear Judy, this was wonderfully done! With time, this video will become cherished and more understood and appreciated by everyone in this low carb community! In health, Chike
Judy, you are a much needed unbiased and fair voice in this community. Chaffe and Baker could learn so much from your approach. I know this video was difficult for you to share. Great job.
as a CIRS patient I can understand why he felt the need to start eating carbs. having those electrolyte issues can be very hard to deal with and live a normal life. But I agree that even though eating carbs has helped him not feel the symptoms eventually they will come back I think. I hope he finally gets CIRS blood work. I am also curious about where his exposure started. what biotoxin triggered his CIRS…it probably started when he had symptoms of eczema or something. very interesting Thank you for this video. CIRS should be talked about more often by other carnivore doctors and influencers
Bcs he came from warm climate of tropical ,subtropical ,carnivore is not enough for hydration bcs heat loss and electrolyte loss through exessive sweating . may be his carnivore was not high fat witch prevent water and electrolyte loss
@@mohammedabdulkadir2004I was thinning the same. Maybe he needs a small fruit a day?? Or maybe just more fat and coconut water or something like that. And salt.
@@mohammedabdulkadir2004 if you watch the whole video she talks about some of his blood work indicates liver issues, inflammation and other things that just keep getting worse. she she’s a lot of this in her CIRS patients. he most likely has CIRS or some other issue impacting his innate immune system but he has to get the innate immune system tested. he hasn’t done that. none of his issues are because of not eating or eating carbs. Even though he doesn’t feel the electrolyte issues he probably still has them. his blood work shows he still has them. he just doesn’t feel it.
He worked out like a maniac, did not eat enough fat, busted his adrenals, ended up with low T, then got on sugar. Now you can see how fast sugar, and workout stress are aging him.
You know what it probably was working out to much what caused his issues...a natural over the age over the age of 35.should probably only workout 4 days a WK Mac unless they aren't going to hard
Thank you Judy for this very important, informative,thorough and scientific podcast. I love science and am so impressed with this information. Paul Saladino doesn’t make sense to me for eating so many carbs. I’m so surprised he back slid. I read his book and really liked it. I wish I could come see you as a Patient. My PCP does not agree with Carnivore or keto. I think Paul is wrong too. But it’s his life. He should have come on your podcast. This sheds him in a bad light. Ty Judy well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎯👏🏻👏🏻
I’m definitely finding out after my third attempt now that it is not a fit for everyone. I’ve never failed at a diet ever, but I’m failing on carnivore for the third time now. I can’t hit ketosis, I have not lost so much is 1 ounce in an entire month now, I have heart palpitations, extremely heavy slow heartbeat, I’m very breathless, experiencing weakness and fatigue beyond description, muscle tension so bad that I cannot stand for more than 10 minutes at a time, my skin is extremely pale and flaky and my urine is dark. I use Redmond’s, Nu-Salt (for potassium) and a magnesium supplement. I finally gave up three days ago and started adding 5 ounces of fruit back into my diet each day because I simply couldn’t take another minute of lying on my couch all day just to recover from gripping muscle tension because I spent 10 minutes standing. What shocked me was that within the first two days of adding fruit, my heart palpitations and pounding heartbeat completely stopped. That much is a huge relief but I still have no stamina and I have unrelenting muscle tension. At this point I’m so miserable I don’t even care that I’m not losing weight. I just want my life back. Im so tired of being trapped on my couch.
nit picking someone's bloodwork n=1 does not prove that fruit, raw honey, raw dairy is "bad." Remember the days when eggs, especially the yolks, were "bad?" Becareful of dogma.... I understand the fear of ultraprocessed foods, industrial lunricants disguised as "good" oils, and refined carbohydrates. Not to be dogmatic, but I'd try to stay away from those products. Look at the source of production and marketing. I also understand carb addiction (recovering addict writing this comment). But a fruit from the farmer's market in season? raw honey from a local bee keeper? raw dairy from a regenerative farm? I'm not afraid of those sources of life as a recovering carb addict. I know: I'm n=1. I just hope everyone finds their own path to holistic health. It makes the world a better place when we have a healthy society.
Paul also says he is on an animal based diet but more than 60% of what he eats is sugar. He should say im on a carb based diets with a little animal products sprinkled in.
He´s either being paid off or he´s delusional or sugar-addicted. Anyone who thinks it´s a good idea to drink fruit juice and consume honey and other carbs (he eats up to 400g carbs, so he´s not even low carb.) needs to do more research and n=1. He has aged like an alcoholic (fructose ages people just like alcohol), so he´s playing on a slippery slope. I couldn´t care less if people want to go back to carbs (the very same carbs that made them fat and unhealthy in the first place!) He became a carnivore because his omnivore diet wasn´t working, so he can keep doing his thing and deal with the consequences.
@@julienfroidevaux1143 Funny how as soon as overweight people cut way back on the carbs, they lose weight. He also works out a lot, at least for now, and that can keep him from gaining. It doesn´t mean his body wants those carbs and he knows that there is no such thing as an essential carb. That´s basic human biochemistry--the only essential macros are protein and fat. But to each their own...
@@Terri_2.0 Vegans are the only dietary group to be in the normal healthy BMI range according to Pub Med data. Is that funny as well ? Is it because they are eating coconuts and avocados all day long ?
I think this was your best video so far, and I really hope Paul follows up on your suggestions. Most of us trying the carnivore diet are trying to heal a chronic problem and western medicine is not interested in finding the root cause. This is because there is no financial incentive in a capitalistic health system to have a healthy population. Until this is changed, the US population will needlessly suffer.
Amazing analysis and makes me glad I just started working with Nutrition with Judy. I remember watching this video when I was just starting to learn about carnivore and Keto and it sure was a wrench in the gears. I feel better with this breakdown of Paul’s video.
What a spectacular video. I was one of those people that under ate on Lion diet for 18 months and finally derailed. Tried Paul’s recommendations and Put on 36 pounds, really discouraging, and felt Awful from all old gut issues and inflammation returning. Back on Lion for 3 weeks and finally feeling better, and off the sugar drive train. Whew! Monitoring protein intake now much more closely, this is for my Health now and not scale victory. Know your “WHY”- your health ALWAYS must come before a number on a scale! Take my mistakes and learn from them. Be gentle with changes and patient with your body, as you have probably put it through the wringer. Be well Friends ❤
@Indigo, I’m so sorry that happened. :( When adding carbs back, it’s important to add them in slowly and to do low fat animal sources in the beginning. Jay Feldman has a video on transitioning from carnivore. Most people in the Bioenergetics space are ex carnivore. I hope things get better for you. Are you doing homemade bone broth for your gut? Have you tried a 24 or 36 hour fast? That can really help with gut issues too.
I hope that this video generates a similarly respectful but candid reply. I have followed both Judy and Paul since their earliest days and like both but Paul is a bit squirrelly, for lack of a better term ( and as one who actually had pet squirrels and chipmunks as a lad😅 )
Is there a winning answer? If he had responded saying thank you but that he wanted to pass, there’d be people attacking that as well saying it’d be better to just not respond. And have you ever meant to respond to someone but never did because of life? I have. Because of all these factors, I try not to judge or pretend to know what someone’s motives are, because I really can’t. ❤
Holy Moly.. Judy, amazing review. I learned so much. I hope that Paul can listen to your complete analysis... That he is blaming carnivore and ignoring all these others signs in his blood work. You did a great job!
This wasn't an easy share, but it's about time someone thoroughly counters Paul Saladino. I hope he changes his theories against the Carnivore diet. If you are interested in doing bloodwork with our private practice, you can learn more here. www.nutritionwithjudy.com/shopping/lab-work/complete-wellness-panel
Great video! I was not able to do strict carnivore because of bad microbiom. I fixed it with berberine and cat's claw. Maybe Paul has the same problem...
Bart Kay calls him Salad Boy…. I’ll never take advice from Salad Boy….
You’re a nit picker and nothing is to your standards. And your book is horrible. Yes there is a lot of fake honey but why not discuss the benefits of real raw honey. @nutritionwithJudy just want to sell more of the book that advises to eat broccoli
А еще можно называть другого известного человека ягодкой, а еще одного - пекарем. :)
@@NutritionwithJudy Thank you Judy from Australia
Judy, thank you for taking the time to do this in detail and respectfully. It's always refreshing to have my views challenged - I believe it's healthy for the space and both of our communities.
The carnivore diet has brought healing to many with autoimmune issues, and the community's commitment is truly remarkable. I'm grateful to have been part of it and still resonate with many of our shared values.
I've said for a long time that if something works for you, keep doing it. An animal-based diet with fruits and honey works for many, myself included.
I'd love to record a podcast with you or any other carnivore physician, who also would be willing to share their blood work at this level of detail.
Best, Paul
A fair statement Paul. And I agree. Bring forth the blood tests and equally dissect them. Only with open minded and respectful debates can we truly get anywhere. Not with dogmatism.
Classy as always, Paul. Love how you said if it works you, keep doing it. I’ve seen so many people bash your diet because fruit messes them up. Maybe so, but so many other people, myself included, thrive off of fruit. It doesn’t have to be one diet that’s the only right one for all humans
@@Paulsaladinomd 👍
Saladino, you always end up giving these messages and it all ends up in nothing. What hsppened with the debate with Gil Carvalho? He's a fool anyway but it would have been constructive for the community to defender yourself against everything he said

Well said!!! 👏🏻 Always so kind and respectful. You’ve helped soooo many people (including me) and are doing so much good!!! Keep it up!!
Very well done.

But u can admit. If 99% of Americans ate like him. They'd be A LOT better off than they are now!
His way is great, all these influencers would be out if a job if we all ate like Paul, Ive never been healthier and fitter at 41 on a similar diet with rice, processed food is the enemy
@@MarthaSwolertwhat is your diet?
@@MarthaSwolertyou eat rice?
If 99% of Americans ate any diet other than SAD, they'd be a lot better than they are now. This is true even of the vegan diet, as it's often healing for people in the short term, often promoting health for the first several years until the most severe nutritional deficiencies catch up with them..
@JonalynYanga yes and potatoes but not the skin, I don't eat anything processed though and have had low bodyfat and 0 health issues my whole life (41 now) but everyone is different I'm an SCSC who owned gyms so I workout a lot and play a lot of sports
Throughout my long low carb journey I’ve noticed that highly active people tend to side with Paul, while people who don’t exercise often or at all benefit from zero carb. Physiologically we can be extreme athletes without carbohydrates but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ideal. I spent 4 years keto and 6 years carnivore and then decided to experiment a bit, and as an extremely active person I’ve found that some carb consumption in the form of fruit & honey targeted around hard workout is incredibly beneficial for recovery, sleep, and hypertrophy. This is what Paul is talking about. These are facts. But ultimately I think self experimentation is best. Take the time to see what works for you and always keep your mind open.
I'm highly active athletically and don't need the amout of carbs Saladino is talking about. I range from 15 grams to 30 grams of carbs a day. I'm fat adapted so I run on fat energy. Saladino misses the sweet taste of sugar when it comes down to it.
@@jimrutherford2773
How can you say it’s because he misses the sweet taste of sugar? I had no energy on carnivore, but I was totally content on the diet and had no cravings. I had to add carbs back for energy. To say I did it because I missed sweets would be wrong. Why jump to conclusions like this?
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist if your body needs sugar your liver makes it called gluconeogenesis.
Carbs are horrible if you store them but seem to be fine when you burn them up.
The other issue is that if you eat carbs and don't move you are likely under eating protein
@@jimrutherford2773 - Professionally-trained competitive athletes on high-carb diets won't gain weight. But they still sometimes end up with metabolic diseases like diabetes. Just because someone seems to be tolerating something in the short term, it doesn't necessarily follow it's promoting health long term.
That isn't to say all carbs are bad under all conditions. It's just there is a vast difference to eat carbs seasonally, as humans evolved to do, and eating a high-carb diet continuously year round. Saladino based his diet on the Hadza. What he didn't know, as Mary Ruddick pointed out, is that the Hadza only have fruit and honey available for 2-3 months of the year.
Timely video. I liked and subscribed. When one of my cats started throwing up all food, the vet wanted to do $1500 worth of tests before anything else. I said no. The vet basically told me my cat was going to die. I fed her nothing but raw ground beef for five weeks. My cat is fine now and I feed them homemade ground beef, chicken and salmon. I realized my cats were eating better than I was. I stopped eating processed food, chips and other junk food and started eating the same fresh, homemade meats, that I feed my cats. In six months, I lost 15 pounds. A checkup three months ago, showed my bloodwork and blood pressure are fine. Low cholesterol and normal blood pressure. No sign of diabetes. I am slowly eliminating as much non meat from my diet as I can. Instead of buying a loaf of bread for toast, I am buying eggs, etc. Thank you for posting this.
Do you currently feed your cats raw or cooked ground beef? I want to do this for my cats!
@@chelseaK11 I feed my cats raw ground beef about three days a week. I buy it from a regional grocery chain that obtains its meat from local ranches. The meat is dressed in the butcher department of the store. Meat that is packaged off location or in those 2 or 3 pound tubes should not be used. Most of the time, my cats eat boiled chicken thighs. I also supplement their homemade food with a wet cat food that is grain free and low in calcium and phosphorus. In a perfect world, raw ground beef would supply 100% of a cat's dietary needs. That is not the case, unfortunately. Good luck. Happy Caturday!
Please watch this video in its entirety! When you go Carnivore, it can uncover underlying issues you didn’t realize you had. What Judy so expertly explained is that his issues “going away” are probably only being masked due to fluid retention from eating carbs again. Also, several of his markers are now trending in a less than desirable direction. This video should be watched by everyone in the community and it is a masterclass. Thank you Judy!
Who has time to watch a 90 minute you tube video?!!!! Please share your secret. 😂
@@roachums123 I watched/listened while doing my zone 2 cardio on my spin bike. Idk I make time for important things 🤷♀️
Turn off the tv.
What percentage of the diet is cooked, typically, - as carnivore?
Thanks for pointing this out - I think that’s what’s happening for me right now (carnivore uncovered underlying issues.)
I guess I’ll have to watch the video in full….
I’m impressed at how thorough you are!
Looks good on paper in reality Salad boy has a point it didn’t make him feel good!
@@mrazik131 Did you listen to the whole episode? That's her point. It wasn't the carnivore. It's an underlying problem which she demonstrated.
You were fooled. Her over analysis is non significant....means nothing. She's over reaching and over searching for a problem he clearly doesn't have.
We need more people like this! Just finished reading "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" by Lauren Clark and I had to say its so truth revealing. Industry hides so much from society
Long before Paul Saladino and even before the internet I started on the carnivore diet. I called the Heart Attack Diet! 41 years later you can see what it did to me. Fruity Paul is a marketer, nothing more. He will not debate anyone any more than prominent vegans will. I have not had any health care since 1996, so I might drop dead before tomorrow. Otherwise I feel great and have a lot of energy and no chronic health issues.

You sound bitter. Paul is a great guy. He is sharing his journey now, not pushing it on anyone. Why do people get super mad now about what other people choose to eat?
I almost didn't watch this because I thought it was just going to be another video having a go at Paul. But I have to say I was wrong and I'm glad I watched. Very well done Judy and great, very helpful information. Thank you. I'm sure Paul will get the information he needs from this as well that will spur him into looking further. Sometimes it just takes another set of eyes.
True
I learned a lot watching this viodeo
Paul is tripping 🤦🏾♂️
@@Boss0Leeny Yes, see his response upthread lol
Paul brought it upon himself. When you do things for money and not your true convictions, you step in your own mess.
I stopped following Saladino when he came into the carnivore space and started lecturing long term carnivores that they were doing it wrong. Imagine the hubris of coming into a community and not listening to the stories of the people who had healed themselves by unsung the carnivore diet for 10 to 20 years. Those long term carnivores explored every way of doing carnivore and found that fatty red meat made them feel their best. But he would not listen, and even lectured people who were trying to tell him about their own lived experience. He doubled down on the “need” for organs, ate too much organ meat, then said carnivore “didn’t work”.
This is exaclty what happened. There was another organ meat guy. I think he was a chef or asomething and he disappeared because he developed spme sort of problems.
Paul Saladino has his own company, which is Oregon supplements. No wonder he’s pushing it so hard.!!
Money, money, money, money !!!!
Saladino always was an ill informed businessman lacking the necessary qualifications to be taken seriously. He goes with the wind. Whatever pays more.
Frank Tufano
He literally always says: “get organs fresh, if you can’t find that, buy my supplement”. That is extremely holest for someone trying to sell you something.
Paul is an outlier that nobody should ever compare themselves to. Who can afford to live in the tropics? who has enough time on their hands to surf 2-3 hours every day? Who can eat organs on an astronomic level every day? I read Paul's book, and it was not bad in it's original form. This was long after reading the REAL carnivore book by Shawn Baker who knows how to create a construct and live it. Paul has never stuck to a single construct in his existence in this space. Every time you turn around, he re-invents himself. He also cherry picks studies to agree with his diet in the moment. I unfollowed him a few years ago when he went looney tunes. Fructose is not a good thing to fool around with, and I don't care how many studies you can quote. It is preferentially and almost exclusively processed by the liver and at the root of all evils when it comes to NAFLD and other metabolic disorders. DO NOT FOLLOW this man or listen to anything he has to say.
He probably does coke. He’s aging badly.
Fructose ain’t doing nothing to you. Quit being fat and you wouldn’t have a problem. You crazy carnivore people are what’s wrong with the diet fad bullshit. Do what’s best for you but quit spreading bullshit!!
If you watch the video she says his bloodwork is less than ideal. Carnivore probably uncovered some underlying root cause issue. He has liver issues and inflammation markers he very likely has CIRS. Eating carbs masks the symptoms but he will continue to get worse if the CIRS or maybe chronic infection or whatever is no addressed.
Paul is not an outlier. Everyone consumed carbs. What were obesity rates before 1960? The answer is effectively zero. No clinical trial needed to point out this basic fact that people ate carbs and were fine before 1960. This is a simple truth that for some reason everyone in keto space wants to ignore.
Go look at a chart of carb consumption rates from 1900-2020 and then compare obesity rates. There is no correlation. In fact from 2000-2020 carbs dropped 2% and obesity rates doubled.
I guess I don’t understand when they say you can’t do carnivore long term. But the diet that got you healthy isn’t recommended for long term, so go back to what made you sick. 😩🤦♂️
EXACTLY
I think in some cases people start from a standard American diet, go carnivore and then move on to some version of a whole foods diet. So there is a big difference before and after, fwiw
You’re just too logical….😂
You either eat the 🐑 or become the 🐑
Its been done. Theres folks who've done double that. @abhijnaatman1874
Hey Judy, appreciate the video. I'm 56 and have weight trained 39 years. I'm very active (train 4-5 days a week and play pickleball 4-5 days a week). I went on the Carnivore diet almost 3 years ago. I was very strict, ate high fat, and bought local cows, fluctuating between grass fed/finished and grass fed, grain finished. I live in Alberta, Canada and we are well known for the quality of our beef. I'm also not a foodie so eating Carnivore is easy. I can eat the same thing all the time no problem.
Anyways, I had the same issues with cramping and palpitations that Dr. Saladino had. I added electrolytes at the 1 year mark and things still did not resolve themselves. In those 18 months I didn't cheat. It was fatty meat, eggs, and some dairy (hard cheese and butter mostly). I love eating Carnivore, and I really wanted it to work. I tried to allow my body to balance, but it never did.
Having weight trained as long as I have I've had cramping issues, but nothing like what I experienced in those 18 months. I had them in muscles that had NEVER had cramps before, like lats, shoulders and lower abs (which were the worst).
I was actually really disappointed with Paul when he went to fruit and honey but after 18 months I decided I needed to try something different.
I added in fruit. Berries, kiwi and watermelon. All my issues cleared up in the first week. I also seemed to keep all the benefits of Carnivore. It's now been a year of being meat based and still no issues. I think I've had one cramp in the last year in a calf muscle.
I have my own theory as to why I need some carbohydrates and it has to do with muscle glycogen. I believe that because I'm so active that I use up all my muscle glycogen a dozen times a week. If there are no carbs to reload the muscle with afterwards then the muscles become electrolyte deficient because electrolytes use the carbs as a carrier to insert themselves in the muscle.
I agree that Paul went overboard on carbs but I also think highly active people do need some carbs in their diet.
Wow that's amazing, I had a similar experience to yours.
I get electrocute imbalances too. I tried eating one strawberry and had stomach cramps and slight diarrhea. I tried a few different times with different fruits but always a very small price to see what would happen and the same thing happened. Thoughts?
@@slowslug3247 try some more dairy products with more carbs, and try kiwis or something, maybe some honey
@@slowslug3247 Someone I follow suggests fermented foods. These are high in probiotics. I do these. Sounds like you have some gut biome issues. Work on gut health. Fermented foods (sauerkraut, for one - I make myself... sooooo easy). Kombatcha. Yogurt. Keifer. All high in probiotics.
Have you had antibiotics any time recently. They are the gut biome killer.
Look into Dr. O'Mara on YT.
Same here. I am a farm labourer in tropical Australia and my job is EXTREMELY hard. I did strict carnivore for 4 months but I had ZERO energy, no sleep, cramps, heart palpitations. When I introduced a small amount of carbs, all these issues vanished and I feel so good now, 15 months in. I'm 30, I eat omad 1kg beef, 5 eggs, a piece of parmigiano cheese, a piece of butter, a cup of bone broth and then a bowl of greek yoghurt with some honey and 2 bananas. I feel so damn good. I believe that's around 60 grams of carbs a day and I refuse to believe that is bad for me.
I am a recovering severe sugar addict. Eating fruit would mess me up completely. No sweet tastes for me. Ever.
Me too.
You’re absolutely not alone.
Me too
Sugar addict since childhood.
Same here. Moderation never works for me.
Step 1: Eat an insanely unnatural amount of organs, until acquiring vitamin A toxicity
Step 2: Revert to sugar/carb addiction, which appears to fix problems from Step 1 as it blocks nutrient uptake, thus slowing down the hypervitaminosis. Ignore the fact that it skews uptake of all the OTHER vitamins too, causing all sorts of other problems both short and long-term
Step 3: Instead of fixing the root problem of organ overconsumption, double down and start an ORGAN SUPPLEMENT BRAND so more people can follow the same confused path
Step 4: Profit

@@JamesBond-zd5jx I didn't see through it for several months, unfortunately. He was the guy who originally got me questioning seed oils, which I respect. But that respect had a quick expiration date once I found out practically everything else he says is nonsense.
You’re brilliant Judy. Love this level of analysis. Must have taken you ages to gather this info but it is truly worthwhile. We need correct information from trustworthy people like you. Thx Judy.
Brilliant?
Great evaluation of Paul's blood markers. Level headed without snarky remarks. Very impressive and informative. Thank you!
Judy, this was a very thoughtful and cordial analysis. Thank you. Much respect.
I got into the carnivore diet mainly because of Drs Ken Berry and Paul Saladino. Maybe I misheard Saladino's name as "Salad? No!". But now he's "Salad Yes". As well as carbs, fruit juice and honey yes. Nope, I'm not falling for it. I'll stick with Ken Berry and Judy.
We never ate this much fruit in nature. 99% of all these fruits are man made, GMO and, full of sugar. Over training also lowers T levels as he been doing that for years. He drink honey as if it is water then he goes run around like a hamster to burn it up.
He’s not pro-salad even on animal based
Saladino was a fraud all along. He doesn't even know what a ketogenic diet is. It's not zero carbs. It can be up to 30 grams of carbs a day depending on the individual. He was a sugar addict and still is. He's like the guy you knew who got off drugs and you were happy for him then found out he fell off the wagon again.
Y'all are so intense😂
He doesn't eat enough fat, therefore adding more fuel in the form of carbs made him feel better. Same thing would have happened if he would have added more fatty meat instead of frickin papayas and honey.
No, you have it factually backwards. He was high fat but moderate protein. You need sufficient protein to provide taurine which then regulates electrolytes. He was obsessed with staying in ketosis instead of consuming enough protein to spike his insulin and thus retain his electrolytes. Additionally, I think some people on carnivore cannot thrive until they remove added salt. Some should only get sodium from meat and fish alone. Old school carnivores did not use any salt
What he did was constantly swallowing dried up organs and all kinds of other crap instead of just simple meat, fat, water, and salt. He complicated something that should be simple and your body will let you know when you have those simple things right.
@loriegosnell9355 organs played a role however he still consumes them and doesn't have issues. He was overdoing salt, original carnivores were strictly against adding salt. The salt craze is a product of the keto crowd who need more sodium because they consume plants. Plus he was moderating protein. Protein is just as important as fat particularly in the long term picture
He is obsessed. He’s obsessed with managing something about himself and proving to everyone he’s in control.
If only he had eaten the whole egg 🥚! Scrambled eggs 🥚 are delicious 😋!!!

I'm 1.33 minutes in, and horrified at his advice for obese people! Paul was not doing a 'natural' carnivore diet - he was massively over consuming organs which will have created huge imbalances in his system.
In addition to consuming too much organ meat, he was also taking a lot of his company's organ supplements.
Ridiculous. I didn’t eat organ meat and had a lot of the same problems Paul had.
@@RC-tm8jo Its a defamation, he said clearly that supplements are when you undereat. Plese do not lie, it is so childish.
@@martakaczmarek6886 he was taking his own company's (Heart & Soil) supplements. You obviously haven't watched nearly as many videos of his as I have. I used to like his channel.
It's not the organ meat that was the problem. It's the amount of sugar especially the high amount of fructose he consumes. That's exactly what you don't inject your liver with.
Thank you so much for taking this time and energy to present such a fulsome presentation. Aside from Paul and his potential issues, and pushing back against his fearmongering, you’ve given us an AMAZING lesson in reading blood labs! Wow.
I tried his diet, I gained a lot of weight, felt worse and was continuously hungry. I went completely carnivore and have lost more than the 39 pounds I gained on his diet, I am totally satiated, in fact I have to actually eat more than my hunger indicates, to keep my metabolism up. I started checking my macronutrients and to my surprise many times I need to add fat, up to ten tablespoons of butter a day. My markers are not good but optimal.
I do believe his diet is better than the recommended diet of the USDA and FDA. I believe even the vegan diet can be better than the Standard American Diet.
Single Ingredient foods, no added sugar, absolutely no vegetable oils, which are in ultra-processed foods.
Very confused by your post .. you gained weight and felt worse on carivore?? Then say it was ok)???,
@joanneclark8256 I gained weight on his meat and a lot of fruit diet. I was also continuously hungry. I went on Carnivore and lost weight and had no hunger. One or two at most meals a day, often eating just to get enough nutrients, not because I was hungry.
It’s fine Paul eats whatever he wants to eat. My problem is he is trying to get everybody to switch with him. Stay true to the message, eat what works best for you. If you feel good no need to change because someone else tells you it’s bad.
Every carnivore influencer is trying to get you to switch to their brand of carnivore in one way or another. All of them. They write books, make great TH-cam videos to increase subscribers, get views and to increase their monetary gains for their social media accounts.
@@SGV_Nativeyup
@@valeriereneeharper take for example Dr Ken Berry. His TH-cam channel, KenDBerryMD, earns an estimated $448,230 annually from TH-cam advertising revenue alone. His channel receives about 7.47 million views per month, which translates to around 249,020 views per day.
In addition to ad revenue, Dr. Berry likely earns from other sources such as sponsorships, merchandise, and Patreon, which can significantly increase his total earnings.
I don’t follow Paul Saladino’s diet but I’ve seen him say multiple times in the past that he’s not trying to get carnivores to convert. He said he wants them to continue what they’re doing if that makes them feel good, but he’s only getting his message out there for people who can’t seem to heal on carnivore.
I don’t agree, she clearly stated everyone doesn’t need to listen to her take or Paul’s take but listen to their body and be guided by that.
The problem I always had with Paul is that he reeks of opportunist. When he went in the liver supplement business he pushed liver. Then I remember him talking about how cheap fruit was in Costa Rica then he started adding fruit and honey and a smoothie business. This is the main problem I have with him. I can’t trust him at all.
He's educated as a psychiatrist. Do we know if he has patients? If not, why not? Those are questions I'd like to know the answers to. How much time and money was spent for him to become a psychiatrist? If he's not a practicing psychiatrist, why?

An excellent, thorough analysis, Judy. My wife and I paused the video many times to read the notes in more detail and it fills the gaps in our knowledge incredibly. It seemed in one of Paul's videos (which you used) that he was struggling for breath. Perhaps he's suffering from some form of asthma? Nevertheless, it's shocking to see anyone recommending such high levels of carbohydrate consumption. Thank you again for this video. Cheers!
Yes someone mentioned that too. I also think his eyes looks tired these days.
asthma maybe from to much milk consumption
B1 is depleted when carbs are high. Breathlessness is one symptom. B1 is also hard to get from anything but pork - mainly tenderloin. I think the beef only carnivores flirt with deficiency.

Always been a Judy cho fan!! Fantastic job using facts . Paul needed to be debunked .
Why does he need to be debunked if he is correct? Go look at a chart of obesity rates before 1960. Look at carb consumption rates. Go on, what does it show? People ate plenty of carbs and obesity rates were effectively zero. Even in the 1970’s obesity was extremely low. The diet intervention was not carbs it was ultra-processed oils. Look at oil consumption rates and then revisit obesity rates. What does it show? An actual correlation between obesity and seed oils-NOT carbs. Carb consumption dropped by 2% from 2000-2020 and obesity rates doubled. That’s called negative correlation. No one in keto space is explaining what happened pre-1960 or explaining this at all. They are completely oblivious to this obvious data. Good luck “debunking” it. I learned this from Dr Cate Shanahan not from Paul.
Paul cannot be debunked because he’s correct. It took me probably dozens of hours of research to figure this stuff out. The final nail-*slamdunk* proof is pre-1960’s obesity rates and carb consumption levels. And if you think it’s processed sugars well it’s not that either which is measurable and is part of the “carb” consumption levels. In fact processed sugars have dropped the last two decades (see “sugar free” soft drinks for example).
Keto space gets most of it right but they completely miss essential information. And that is historical obesity rates and carb consumption rates which have mostly remained fairly flat since 1900-2020. Look at 1900 levels and compare to 2020 for example. Objective information.
I have never seen Paul explain any of what I shared. Dr Cate Shanahan has the best explanation of anyone in the nutrition space hands down.
I am fan of information and facts! Never shoot the messenger.
You are awesome, Lovely Lady; but I cannot stomach Saladino. I'm only watching because I have so much respect for you. Cheers!
I appreciate the astounding amount of work you put into this video. Absolutely mind blowing!(the weirder thing is that I can actually understand it all) Thanks carnivore
Holy cow Paul says he eats 300 Grams of carbohydrates a day and calls himself "Carnivore MD" and states he eats a meat based diet. He tries way too hard to impress people with all of his knowledge yet he seems so Manic and out of control😢
@@Mauitaoist he dropped “Carnivore’ a little while ago. He strikes me as manic also.
Check your comprehension levels. That's not what Paul recommends or says. He recommends carbs based on your activity level per week. Based on my own levels, which are pretty high, he recommends only 150 grams per day. And, he's MUCH more active than me.
and as a highly muscled very active younger male he eats 2 pounds of meat per day when dr Abs eats 5 without all that surfing! I heard that and was shocked I am only 5 feet tall and very inactive and I can easily eat 2 pounds of meat with nothing else at age 61.
He will say he’s animal based but surrounds himself with fruits and vegetables. He looks like he does drugs and that does not help.
YEP, and he looks manic, and talks so fast that he even sounds manic.

Paul’s delivery is anxiety-producing.
Then don't watch him.
@@rb4342Yes but...Speaking in a way that makes him seem like he's hopped up on something isn't looking great for his high carb intake reccomendations and since this is all about health, markers like verbal delivery surely can be a part or our assessment of an influencer
Yes he often comes across a bit hyper.
Weak
Paul is fake, he tries very hard to give an impression of strong man. He is not. Inside he’s an alcoholic. Fructose is a substitute for liquid fermented sugars aka alcohol
Bummer, his recommendations are exactly what a diabetic wants to hear. Keep eating sugar, ‘healthy’ sugar or ‘natural’ sugar. The Strong Sisters are pushing carbs for people with illness now too, which makes me sad because so many of these families are really trying to heal and with better information they could really use strict carnivore for a few months to improve their symptoms & reduce their sugar addiction that is sadly such a big part of those order ‘healthy diets.’ Dr Eric Westman has the basics on why he uses Keto at a Keto Clinic to heal his patients over the last 25 years.
Paul is very active guy, 3 hrs surfing. Can not compare his diet and activity with just a regular guy
People heal on pro metabolic though after having had bad experience with keto carnivore.
I was going to add that all sugar addicts, not limited to diabetics, love hearing "you can eat sugar/carbs". But you kind of included that.
@@SariPutri-x6v And he makes this clear too. He says that if you diabetic and dont exercise you could have like a apple a day and maybe a spoon of honey too.
Exactly and papayas, pineapples, and most of our sweet fruits are all genetically modified organisms that contain higher amounts of sugar than you would find in nature. There is no way that he is benefiting himself from the amount of sugar he consumes on a daily basis.
Well done, very thorough and your videos are always a must watch!
Send Paul an invoice for the consultation Judy 😉
Absolutely! He just got some amazing free advice 😉
Yeah right! :)
I agree, he is wrong ❤ I am diabetic and a athlete. Carnivore is easily the best decision I ever made. I have several issues with his work. Best wishes to everyone. Gotta get to the gym and eat a big fat juicy steak 🥩. Meat it’s what’s for my dinner.
Fruit, veggies, honey no way terrible!💪
I got off the carnivore diet and followed him and gained weight and appetite increased. Bad mistake. Now I'm getting back on track
Same. What a nightmare with all old symptoms coming back, let alone weight 🤦🏼♀️
Happened to me last year, gained over 15 lbs, digestion went off, and I looked bloated and inflamed
Just from eating fruit and honey
Weird I am doing better and not just ass pissing the whole time like on carnivore. My workouts are better with carbs included and don’t feel so restricted just but having a bit of fruit and not being a pig.
Thank you very much for this video, Judy!
Fantastic Presentation Judy! Very professional. I have learned a lot from what you share. It has helped me to be my most healthy and feel my best. Thanks for all you do!
Rewatching your video as many times as needed with my labs [multiple] to help me understand my issues better. Thank you!!!!!
Well done, Judy! I think Bart Kay and Ken Berry have also questioned Paul's blood sugar: the A1C doesn't test for blood fructose. Paul seems to think his blood sugar is low and fine based on A1C, but what he's consuming is not mostly a glucose source - it's mostly a fructose source or sources. His glycation could be substantial - this could be a cause of the inflammation you're guessing he's suffering (or a contributing factor).
He should have gout checked it doesn’t really measure purines. It measures fructose.
@@DramaHeart good to know, thx. I liked that Judy is encouraging him to think things through better and to use his gifts to help people. That was positive.
Yes I think he has some underlying undiagnosed problem & this high fructose diet is going to bigger problems.
It's not mostly a fructose source. Most fruits are close to 50/50 glucose/fructose. Granted, I think Paul may still take in more than 50 g of fructose per day, which is high I've read, but we'll just have to see how his liver and other stats are affected over more time.
@@MichaelDirk thx, I think some of the influencers have misled me - people say fruit is mostly fructose, and I just looked - and you're right. Well, he's intaking more glucose than we thought and not much of an A1C issue. I am pretty sure if I ate that much fruit, I'd be in trouble. As Judy points out, he seems to have non-keto/non-diet issues/problems.
It sounds like he’s having trouble breathing. Obviously, what he’s doing isn’t working for him. I think he needs to at the very least cut back on the sugar/carbs and organ meats, if not eliminate them altogether.
Thank you for making this well informed, common sense video.
I noticed this too. He was short of breath throughout this video.
I have noticed it on his other video (w... Shawn baker? I can't remember...) defending his diet. I'm not saying his diet is bad or that that's why he's breathing heavy... Just an observation.
I love how the same carnivores that defend their diet because of how good they feel mald like vegans when someone else dares to feel good eating a different way lmfao. He’s clearly healthy and happy
I could sense that too
I've noticed that with Paul but also with other carnivore and keto influencers, Ken Berry and Dr Boz to name a couple have an out of breath/ chest weakness you can hear in their voice.
Paul's diet has worked better for me after years on Keto and later Carnivore.
Great analysis, Judy. Looking forward to the feedback you receive
Excellent and thorough! Thanks, Judy! 2+ years Carnivore and I’ve never felt better, been more healthy or more fit my entire life and I’m 62! Better late than never!!

He is misleading people in a big way.. He means well, but he is misunderstanding his own blood work and what it means.
Yes, man, imagine drinking honey as if it is water. I have cut honey out of my diet. What a liberation.
Trying to fix his problem by eating more carbs and honey is like giving alcohol to an alcoholic having withdrawals
Indeed!
very bad analogy, because quitting alcoholism cold turkey is deadly.
He didn't add back carbs because of an addiction to them, he added them back to fix physiological issues he was having and it did fix them.
@genautelevishn5999 Not true as a flatout generalization. I quit alcohol cold turkey. It was the only way to stop. Was it easy? Hell no, but I'm still here so it wasn't deadly. Interestingly enough, going carnivore has massively reduced my craving for alcohol. I wonder if its tied to a carb/sugar addiction?
@@mandydilley3735 they just means you were a regular drinker. alcoholics physically die from withdrawal symptoms. read up on it and get informed before opening your mouth importantly to such a topic.
Diet is not a one size fits all. I tried carnivore for 10 months when I didn't lose any weight with my Hashimoto's not improving. I was heavily dumping oxylates and after watching Sally K Norton discuss Toxic Superfoods adding some low oxylate plant foods that don't make me bloat helped me to slow down the oxylate dumping. Early on I did make a mistake following one Carnivore podcaster claim we should consume a stick of butter per day until I quickly quit. After switching to high protein, moderate fat and low carbs i easily lost a dress size this year.
Thank you 😊
You did it wrong and you suck
It is a one size fits all actually. Diet is only the first step, not the only step. There are a myriad of things that cause health issues that can't be fixed just by eating meat on its own.
@@koolburn5218 nah not everyone can do a carnivore diet and thrive.
LOL one stick of butter a day is way too much for sure.
@@Themilkman95 Honestly anytime I see someone say they try carnivore and it didnt work I want to ask what it is exactly that they ate. Some people will eat nothing but processed meats and say they tried carnivore, some people will eat loads of dairy, some will eat high protein low fat. Some people need to go lion diet and cant have any dairy or eggs at all because they have autoimmune issues. Just like some people will say they tried keto by eating nothing but packaged "keto friendly" foods all while never going into ketosis because those foods are meant to be small cheat snacks and not eaten regularly while on keto. Just like you can eat highly processed sugary junk on a vegan diet you can screw up any other diet, even carnivore. I would say the reason "one size doesn't fit all" is because some people need to be more strict with what they cut out before they see meaningful benefits.
amazing video. you did this with such kindness and grace. even though all the comments are harsh and don’t reflect what you were saying at all…I hope he finds more root cause healing
I remember when Saladino started.... He suddenly flipped from promoting a vegetarian diet to Carnivore in what seems like literally overnight... Those who enabled him suddenly had to correct his "science".
I tried recently just as an experiment to drink 500 ml. of orange juice after 2 years on carnivore/ketovore. WORST reactive hypoglycemia ever. First I got serious hunger cravings - the type you NEVER feel on carnivore - then shakiness and unwell. Had to buy an ice cream on the way home just to get my blood sugar up, then slept it off and fasted. Never doing that again.
Not surprising you have a strong reaction when you haven’t had any carbs for so long
I had a small reaction couple weeks ago at work when my electrolytes drink had a few carbs in it.
I had a slight headache, felt nauseated, and ended up feeling weak and tired because of it,
and the electrolytes are supposed to help with your energy, did the opposite for me with carbs, wtf!
It’s interesting, you’re saying someone is wrong that is twice as healthy as you are, interesting. Maybe, just maybe there’s more to it than you think.
So carnivore made you diabetic?
Amazing
500 ml is crazy, normal person drinks 250 ml.
The elephant in the room is still that humans have adapted to have 0 grams of carbs in the diet. That makes having MOST of the calories be in the form of carbs kind of counterintuitive.
I really admire how open minded Paul is. He is actively searching for more information and trying new things. I can’t say the same for most doctors or people in general.
True. A lot of diet zealots, with cult like behavior or the doctors that treat the numbers without looking at the whole patient because “guidelines” 🙄
He isn't looking for information. He changed when he needed to get more followers.
Thank you so much Judy! I've been carnivore for 8 years now and sometimes the information around this lifestyle does get confusing. I really appreciate that you took this apart piece by piece. Bravo!

The more people call him out on his ignorant-dietary advice, the more people are going to save their health on the long run! Paul messed up big time and lost all of his credibility and my respect for him, not as a human being, but as a person who gives diet advice, because he seems like a nice guy if you put all that aside. I'm almost positive that he thinks he's giving good advice not realizing how dangerous and harmful tell people to consume carbs, sugars and honey, especially for those with metabolic diseases, which are probably the majority of our population here in the states!!
*Paul recently had a guy come through his house in Costa Rica and found mold on all of the wooden cabinets/fixtures. In this video it appears Judy may have hinted that Paul's body is fighting something. Could be from the mold?

I haven't watched yet, but more than the Vitamin A thing, I've seen Bart Kay break down that it may more likely be copper toxicity from the liver that can lead to worsening retention of electrolytes among other things

Hi! You’re so welcome!! 😊 I’m mid 40s and probably perimenopausal too! I have heard Lillie Cane say her husband had to have carbs in order to gain muscle! From listening to bioenergetics, I really do thinks having adequate carbs is the healthiest way to go.
By the way, I told my chiropractor I was considering hormone replacement in the future, and he told me to do female bovine glandulars instead! From my research, I learned that men can grow normal sized breasts by using bovine ovary, so there must be something to it! 😆
Also, I’m sure you’ve heard of the experts all telling women our age that we need to do heavy lifting in order to stimulate the central nervous system to grow muscle, but I have learned that overcoming isometrics will also stimulate the central nervous system, and it is a much, much safer way to build muscle!

Could one of the doctors please answer this question? I'll try to keep it short and concise. What is the main reason to avoid fruit if you are set on carnivore only? It's hard for me to believe that consuming fruit, raw dairy, raw honey or maple syrup is harmful. If it's clean, and local and consumed in appropriate amounts, it tends to make me feel better. Is the concern is that it can causes diseases long term? Diabetes risk? Cognitive disease risk? I feel if you avoid chemicals, dyes, seed oils and processed junk, you can be metabolicly healthy.
It's all confirmation bias and dietary ideological obsession.
"I have eaten and entire Papaya, and entire pineapple, and 3-4 tablespoons of Honey already today.." This dude calls himself a doctor??? That amount of fruit makes ZERO sense.
Sounds like Freelee, except she wouldn't have the honey because she's vegan. Honey isn't an animal food, though, even being processed by bees. It's nectar combined with bee spit = sugar.
What is the meaning in the "sense" that he has zero, because he show his blood test and its all excelent. What else to have a good sense?
@@eliasjr1049 there's no blood test or any other type of test for damage from fructose, which is what he's consuming by eating fruit and honey.
Wow! So he looks healthy and his blood is healthy. Now I'm really curious, what exactly is the sneak fructose is causing that is so bad for him?
@@eliasjr1049 liver damage, worse glycation than glucose and also high deuterium = damage mitochondria of any cells it contacts
Paul is a MARKETING GUY! Differentiation is the key for successful marketing, he is pulling the DIFFERENTIATION MOVE. Thanks for the video!
I agree. He is the only "fruit, honey, raw dairy, and meat" diet promoter now, so he has no competition to his channel.
Maybe he's just trying to appeal to more people to sell more products.
@@RC-tm8jo He puts meat first. You may not like someones concept but lying about someone is a defamation.
@martakaczmarek6886 I listed the 4 types of foods he eats. Where in my statement did I put percentages of each type of food? He himself has stated many times that he usually consumes between 300 grams and 400 grams of carbohydrates daily from fruit and honey.
@@RC-tm8jo You misquotted his motto, which is "meat, fruit and honey", legally its a defamation you write it under the post shaming on him that he is doing it for a business.
I think he is over exercising taxing his body putting it under too much stress. He looks like he’s aged 10+ years in the past few years.
You reckon...He looks younger than his Age.
And he'll probably run rings around guys, 10yrs younger than him.
Idk why people exaggerate of how old he looks, he doesn’t look that old, you are so petty
He looks great for a guy pushing 50
@@soulabear9146 I agree, but I started following his content 2-3 years ago, just before he added all these carbs back into his diet, and I’ve watched him age excessively in a short amount of time. It’s a little odd. Maybe glycation is aging him? Too much iron can do that too. Something is not quite right.
@@ErinCRNhe definitely has a “glycated” look to his skin. Not in the video here as he’s using a filter, but in others it’s noticeable.
this was absolutely amazing and thorough processed - Great job Judy - thanks for sharing
My Dear Judy, this was wonderfully done! With time, this video will become cherished and more understood and appreciated by everyone in this low carb community!
In health,
Chike
Sugar addict trying to justify the addiction
As usual. also addicted to lean body mass and overtraining, the root cause of his problem. Goatis has made good video about him. You seen it?
@@desmomotodesmomoto2033 goatis aka sv3rige is a GOAT
that's me 😂
Well thought out and well argued. Always appreciate your educated clinical perspective! 😊
Paul is a carb addict. He tries really hard to justify his sugar and carb cravings, but that's not working out too well for him or his followers.
You sound like someone who has been listening to Bart Kay.
Today carb addict, tomorrow alcohol addict
Ur an oxygen addict
Judy, you are a much needed unbiased and fair voice in this community. Chaffe and Baker could learn so much from your approach. I know this video was difficult for you to share. Great job.
YOU'RE AMAZING JUDY!!! Thank you for explaining things so well! 👏🤩❤️
as a CIRS patient I can understand why he felt the need to start eating carbs. having those electrolyte issues can be very hard to deal with and live a normal life. But I agree that even though eating carbs has helped him not feel the symptoms eventually they will come back I think. I hope he finally gets CIRS blood work. I am also curious about where his exposure started. what biotoxin triggered his CIRS…it probably started when he had symptoms of eczema or something. very interesting Thank you for this video. CIRS should be talked about more often by other carnivore doctors and influencers
Bcs he came from warm climate of tropical ,subtropical ,carnivore is not enough for hydration bcs heat loss and electrolyte loss through exessive sweating . may be his carnivore was not high fat witch prevent water and electrolyte loss
@@mohammedabdulkadir2004I was thinning the same. Maybe he needs a small fruit a day?? Or maybe just more fat and coconut water or something like that. And salt.
Edit (my iPhone won’t let me): I was thinking…
@@mohammedabdulkadir2004 if you watch the whole video she talks about some of his blood work indicates liver issues, inflammation and other things that just keep getting worse. she she’s a lot of this in her CIRS patients. he most likely has CIRS or some other issue impacting his innate immune system but he has to get the innate immune system tested. he hasn’t done that. none of his issues are because of not eating or eating carbs. Even though he doesn’t feel the electrolyte issues he probably still has them. his blood work shows he still has them. he just doesn’t feel it.
He worked out like a maniac, did not eat enough fat, busted his adrenals, ended up with low T, then got on sugar.
Now you can see how fast sugar, and workout stress are aging him.
And there's NO test to show the damage from fructose. Test for glucose damage is A1C, not applicable to fructose.
@@w1975b Right on. He also uses filters in his videos to hide his premature aging.
You know what it probably was working out to much what caused his issues...a natural over the age over the age of 35.should probably only workout 4 days a WK Mac unless they aren't going to hard
Excellent information and presentation Judy, thank you.
Thank you Judy for this very important, informative,thorough and scientific podcast. I love science and am so impressed with this information. Paul Saladino doesn’t make sense to me for eating so many carbs. I’m so surprised he back slid. I read his book and really liked it. I wish I could come see you as a Patient. My PCP does not agree with Carnivore or keto. I think Paul is wrong too. But it’s his life. He should have come on your podcast. This sheds him in a bad light. Ty Judy well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎯👏🏻👏🏻
I’m definitely finding out after my third attempt now that it is not a fit for everyone. I’ve never failed at a diet ever, but I’m failing on carnivore for the third time now. I can’t hit ketosis, I have not lost so much is 1 ounce in an entire month now, I have heart palpitations, extremely heavy slow heartbeat, I’m very breathless, experiencing weakness and fatigue beyond description, muscle tension so bad that I cannot stand for more than 10 minutes at a time, my skin is extremely pale and flaky and my urine is dark. I use Redmond’s, Nu-Salt (for potassium) and a magnesium supplement. I finally gave up three days ago and started adding 5 ounces of fruit back into my diet each day because I simply couldn’t take another minute of lying on my couch all day just to recover from gripping muscle tension because I spent 10 minutes standing. What shocked me was that within the first two days of adding fruit, my heart palpitations and pounding heartbeat completely stopped. That much is a huge relief but I still have no stamina and I have unrelenting muscle tension. At this point I’m so miserable I don’t even care that I’m not losing weight. I just want my life back. Im so tired of being trapped on my couch.
nit picking someone's bloodwork n=1 does not prove that fruit, raw honey, raw dairy is "bad." Remember the days when eggs, especially the yolks, were "bad?" Becareful of dogma.... I understand the fear of ultraprocessed foods, industrial lunricants disguised as "good" oils, and refined carbohydrates. Not to be dogmatic, but I'd try to stay away from those products. Look at the source of production and marketing. I also understand carb addiction (recovering addict writing this comment). But a fruit from the farmer's market in season? raw honey from a local bee keeper? raw dairy from a regenerative farm? I'm not afraid of those sources of life as a recovering carb addict. I know: I'm n=1. I just hope everyone finds their own path to holistic health. It makes the world a better place when we have a healthy society.
raw honey is pure fructose, which basically everyone agrees is toxic.
Doc, I respect you a lot. Thanks for this fantastic video. I hope it's not too much to tell you that you look absolutely wonderful and glowing. 🎉
She's not a doc
Paul also says he is on an animal based diet but more than 60% of what he eats is sugar. He should say im on a carb based diets with a little animal products sprinkled in.
Where do you get that from? That’s not true.
This is an episode that I definitely will save and watch again…and again! Such good info!
This video is incredibly informational! Awesome work!!!
He´s either being paid off or he´s delusional or sugar-addicted. Anyone who thinks it´s a good idea to drink fruit juice and consume honey and other carbs (he eats up to 400g carbs, so he´s not even low carb.) needs to do more research and n=1. He has aged like an alcoholic (fructose ages people just like alcohol), so he´s playing on a slippery slope. I couldn´t care less if people want to go back to carbs (the very same carbs that made them fat and unhealthy in the first place!) He became a carnivore because his omnivore diet wasn´t working, so he can keep doing his thing and deal with the consequences.
He's a surfer. Sun and sea salt will age you quickly.
@@Terri_2.0 Carbs didn't make him fat he was thin as a raw vegan .
@@julienfroidevaux1143 Funny how as soon as overweight people cut way back on the carbs, they lose weight. He also works out a lot, at least for now, and that can keep him from gaining. It doesn´t mean his body wants those carbs and he knows that there is no such thing as an essential carb. That´s basic human biochemistry--the only essential macros are protein and fat. But to each their own...
@@sandrabentley8111 That´s true, which makes the damage of the additional fructose even more visible.
@@Terri_2.0 Vegans are the only dietary group to be in the normal healthy BMI range according to Pub Med data.
Is that funny as well ?
Is it because they are eating coconuts and avocados all day long ?
I think this was your best video so far, and I really hope Paul follows up on your suggestions. Most of us trying the carnivore diet are trying to heal a chronic problem and western medicine is not interested in finding the root cause. This is because there is no financial incentive in a capitalistic health system to have a healthy population. Until this is changed, the US population will needlessly suffer.
Not only USA. UK, Europe, South Africa and India to name a few places
Sadly, my son learned about carnivore via Saladino’s book, and now, sadly, my son thinks his orange juice is just fine.
😂 ur son is doing great oj rocks!
Leave your son alone, let him live a little.
Amazing analysis and makes me glad I just started working with Nutrition with Judy. I remember watching this video when I was just starting to learn about carnivore and Keto and it sure was a wrench in the gears. I feel better with this breakdown of Paul’s video.
What a spectacular video. I was one of those people that under ate on Lion diet for 18 months and finally derailed. Tried Paul’s recommendations and Put on 36 pounds, really discouraging, and felt Awful from all old gut issues and inflammation returning. Back on Lion for 3 weeks and finally feeling better, and off the sugar drive train. Whew! Monitoring protein intake now much more closely, this is for my Health now and not scale victory. Know your “WHY”- your health ALWAYS must come before a number on a scale! Take my mistakes and learn from them. Be gentle with changes and patient with your body, as you have probably put it through the wringer. Be well Friends ❤
@Indigo, I’m so sorry that happened. :( When adding carbs back, it’s important to add them in slowly and to do low fat animal sources in the beginning. Jay Feldman has a video on transitioning from carnivore. Most people in the Bioenergetics space are ex carnivore.
I hope things get better for you. Are you doing homemade bone broth for your gut? Have you tried a 24 or 36 hour fast? That can really help with gut issues too.
Wow thats so cheesy that he didnt respond to your emails...that so telling of him🤔
I hope that this video generates a similarly respectful but candid reply. I have followed both Judy and Paul since their earliest days and like both but Paul is a bit squirrelly, for lack of a better term ( and as one who actually had pet squirrels and chipmunks as a lad😅 )
Is there a winning answer? If he had responded saying thank you but that he wanted to pass, there’d be people attacking that as well saying it’d be better to just not respond. And have you ever meant to respond to someone but never did because of life? I have.
Because of all these factors, I try not to judge or pretend to know what someone’s motives are, because I really can’t. ❤
@@PeaceIsJesusChristit's bad form, period.
@@PeaceIsJesusChristPaul has plenty of time between running around half naked and shopping to respond to Judy.
@@rickdaraska1672
I think you missed my point. :)
Even a broken clock is right twice a day but not Saldino...
If you ask me he's gone off the rails! I hope that he realizes the fault in his logic.
Holy Moly.. Judy, amazing review. I learned so much. I hope that Paul can listen to your complete analysis... That he is blaming carnivore and ignoring all these others signs in his blood work. You did a great job!
