94: Max Debates the Carnivore Diet | Paul Saladino, MD

The people who have the highest levels of B12 have the biggest brains—you can correlate B12 levels with brain size.

Pretty much substantially throughout the carnivore community, the removal of fiber improves gas, bloating, and constipation across the board.

The studies are pretty clear—the inclusion of fruits and vegetables has no change in the incidence of cancer.

This is what I hope Western medicine will realize in the near future: there's this huge lever that they're not pulling; elimination diets—if constructed intentionally and with forethought—can be so powerful.

There are many carnivores who find significant improvements in gas, bloating, and constipation—probably because the removal of fiber is quite healing for people.

There are epidemiology studies in China that show men who eat the most meat have the lowest rate of heart disease and women who eat the most meat have the lowest rate of cancer.

For me, living a genius life is about trying, as best we can, to understand truth in all aspects of our lives—in terms of relationships, in terms of science, and in terms of health.

I think, with true experts, the more they understand, the less they realize they know.

The more fiber women eat, the more likely they are to become infertile because it's pulling out estrogens they need to have a regular cycle—they're more likely to miss ovulation when they're eating more fiber.

Even within medicine, it's so ironic; you're going through medical school, it's cliche for them to tell you 50% of what you're learning today is wrong. But the converse of that: when you bring up a new idea in medicine, you are universally vilified.

As a year-and-a-half strict carnivore... I poop every morning without a problem. It's beautiful. I'll send you a photo.

We can make glycogen without carbohydrates—it's not a requirement. Not in the liver, but in the muscle.
