I’m back from Africa - what a trip it was!  I got to spend multiple days hunting, eating, living, dancing, and adventuring with the Hadza of Tanzania… In this week’s podcast episode (Fundamental Health, available at heartandsoil.co, Apple podcasts, and YouTube), @dranthonygustin and I sat down to answer many of your questions about our trip and share some of our biggest takeaways…  We discuss how the Hadza eat, what they don’t eat, how healthy they are, how happy they are, salt?, hunting, eating baboon, and a ton more… I talked about my takeaways from this trip in this week's newsletter - If you didn't get it, you’re missing out!

It’s good to be back in the US. My trip to Tanzania to hunt with the Hadza was amazing, and the meals I shared with them were incredible… The meat we had hunted in the bush earlier that day, along with honey and baobab we had found along the way- truly radical… Ironically, It was much harder to always get good food in “civilization” and this was the hardest part of the trip… In this edition of Controversial Thoughts, I share a bit about these struggles and the “creep” of processed foods into our food supply, making it difficult to obtain really good food unless we are very intentional about what we are eating! #theremembering If you’re not subscribed to my newsletter, you are missing out!

I thought it would be appropriate to do this week's Controversial Thoughts video on how I eat #AnimalBased while traveling... I brought all the necessities: stainless steel skillet, induction burner, a jar of liver (yes that is correct... Jar. Of. Liver.), and I've got a bunch of desiccated organ supplements from @heartandsoilsupplements for the rest of the trip including Beef Organs, Gut & Digestion, and Histamine & Immune... Africa, here I come! #theremembering

I got COVID, and it’s been very mild.  I believe this is because I am metabolically healthy and the data supports this conclusion. And yet, the media isn’t speaking about this. Madness!

Animal-based vs Keto vs Paleo Though at first glance an #Animalbased diet may look like a ketogenic or paleo diet, there are some key differences. Though a paleo diet includes meat, this type of eating forgets about the incredible nutrient richness found in organs like liver, heart, kidney, etc. A paleo diet also leaves in nuts/seeds/and leafy greens which don't really provide any unique nutrients but do lead to a lot of gas 💨, bloating, and digestive issues for many people. These are full of anti-nutrients and digestive enzyme inhibitors and are best avoided. Though a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet can be incredibly powerful for many people with diabetes, and obesity, this way of eating isn't really sustainable long term. The fact of the matter is this, eliminating carbs can help with insulin resistance but didn't cause it in the first place. To truly treat these issues we must remove seed oils and excess linoleic acid from our diets. Once you are metabolically healthy, including carbohydrates from the least toxic plant sources (sweet/non-sweet fruit- no fructose is not toxic in fruit) can be a positive addition to your diet! Animal-based diets can take many forms to suit your needs, but don't fall into overly rigid ketogenic dogma by fearing all carbohydrates long term. Cycling in low-carb periods or periods of a carnivore diet is great, but it's also nice to bring in a few low toxicity plant foods from time to time for variety, flavor, color, etc. Just know that if you chose to include nuts/seeds/leafy greens you may run into digestive issues by trending too much toward paleo. Here's to reclaiming your birthright to radical health! #theremembering SOCIAL MEDIA Heart & Soil: https://heartandsoil.co  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulsaladinomd Website: https://www.paulsaladinomd.com
