Well SupportedThe Omega-3 Index, measuring omega-3 levels in red blood cells, is a long-term biomarker of omega-3 status, unlike plasma phospholipid levels which reflect recent intake.Well SupportedOmega-3s from salmon and salmon roe are naturally in the superior phospholipid form compared to triglyceride or ethyl ester forms in many supplements.Not SupportedFish oil supplements often contain high levels of peroxides and oxidative products.Well SupportedEating whole animals, including organs, provides a complete spectrum of micronutrients.Well Supported

Boron supplementation can increase mean plasma free testosterone and decrease plasma estradiol, while also increasing dihydrotestosterone, cortisol, and vitamin D.

Well SupportedOn a carnivore diet, balance methionine from muscle meat with glycine from connective tissue to avoid biochemical imbalances.

Well SupportedPaul Saladino eats raw or grilled heart weekly.

Not SupportedConsuming raw egg whites may hinder biotin utilization due to avidin binding biotin.

Well SupportedPaul Saladino consumes approximately 10 ounces of grass-fed ground beef cooked on a grill for breakfast when traveling.

Well SupportedThe speaker's animal-based diet includes raw organic honey, coconut water, grass-fed ground beef, organ meats, fruit, raw dairy, and supplements like desiccated testicle.

Well SupportedThe carnivore diet may be therapeutic for individuals with autoimmune disorders.

Well SupportedRaw dairy can be beneficial if tolerated, and bone meal can substitute for calcium if raw dairy is not an option.

Well SupportedHigh levels of Coenzyme Q10 are obtainable from consuming organ meats, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health.

Partially SupportedBone meal can be consumed in doses of 0.5 to 1.5 tablespoons per day as a source of boron.

Partially SupportedCarnivorous animals in zoos reproduced when fed whole animals, including organs, not just muscle meat, highlighting the importance of organ nutrients.

Partially SupportedThe speaker consumes approximately half a tablespoon of salmon roe daily for iodine and omega-3s.

Partially SupportedCollagen supplementation supports tendon and ligament strength in athletes and provides glycine for glutathione production.

Partially SupportedA carnivorous diet can lead to improvements in mood, energy, joint pain, and autoimmune disease symptoms.

Partially SupportedBoron may be lost on a strict carnivore diet and can be obtained from bone meal or bone matrix supplements.

Partially SupportedConsuming the whole animal, including organ meats and bones, is a strategy for thriving on a carnivore diet.

Partially SupportedDairy can be an allergen and may trigger rheumatologic issues, immune issues, mucus production, and skin issues for some individuals.

Partially SupportedOmega-3 sources and iodine are often found together in marine animals like salmon roe.

Partially SupportedSalmon roe is a good source of iodine, which can also be obtained from egg yolks or other fish.

Partially SupportedA calcium source is important in the diet, especially for those avoiding dairy.

Well SupportedThe ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids is important and can be assessed through blood tests.

Partially SupportedThe speaker consumes raw duck egg yolks daily, discarding the whites due to avidin binding biotin.

Partially SupportedCollagen or isolated glycine is added to steak to balance out methionine content.

Partially SupportedA diet very low in protein and fat, especially in a low-carbohydrate state, can lead to starvation and biochemical breakdown ('rabbit starvation').

Partially SupportedAn iodine source is necessary in the diet, often accompanying an omega-3 source.

Partially SupportedA diet consisting solely of meat and water may be deficient in iodine.

Partially SupportedAdequate fat intake is necessary for the body to function as fuel in low-carb or zero-carb diets.

Not SupportedGlyphosate is linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and efforts should be made to avoid it.

Partially SupportedAdding fat can improve sluggishness on a meat-and-water diet.

Partially SupportedThe speaker consumes about half a tablespoon of bone meal daily, mixed in water.

Partially SupportedA carnivorous diet should ideally include sources of collagen and omega-3 fatty acids in addition to meat and water.
