This conversation with Dr. Paul Saladino is a call to investigate the why behind our habits, our headlines, and our health beliefs. In a world full of fear-based marketing—from sunscreens to snack bars—his perspective invites a more grounded perspective rooted in science. 

Paul doesn’t just challenge the status quo, he brings data, ancestral wisdom, and personal experience to illuminate what’s actually making us sick.

• The real cause of skin cancer (and why sunlight isn’t the villain)
• How seed oils impact your skin
• Why sunglasses may increase your risk of sun damage
• Why Paul started eating fruit after 1.5 years on a carnivore diet
• The problem with vegetables
• Why indoor lighting may be ruining your nervous system
• The benefits of creatine
• Why your “healthy” snack bar is wrecking your hormones and gut health
