235: In this second installment, we continue peeling back the layers on the nuances of carnivore eating, seed oils, and autoimmune issues. We also dive into my fiancé Hector’s incredible psoriasis healing journey and how diet can impact thyroid health.  


Paul brings his unique perspective as both a trained physician and a passionate advocate for ancestral eating, and this episode dives even deeper into some of the most misunderstood areas of nutrition. We also touch on the intersection of food policy, healthcare, and how misinformation has shaped modern dietary guidelines. Whether you’re new to Paul’s work or a longtime follower, this conversation will leave you questioning much of what we’ve been taught about health and nutrition.

  • Hector’s psoriasis healing journey and the role of diet  
  • Why seed oils are so damaging—and where they hide in our food supply  
  • Tracking macros, protein intake, and transitioning away from strict carnivore  
  • Dangerous ingredients in infant formula
