My dad was born in a small rural village in the mountains of central Peloponnese, Greece, in his home. His grandmother delivered him. His grandmother was the midwife for all of the women in the villages in the area. She had no formal education. I wish I could go back and talk to her. That would be some awesome great grandmother wisdom right there.
I'm so excited to hear about this!!! I had a carnivore-ish pregnancy. I had a healthy easy pregnancy in general. I didn't get ANY stretch marks (probably all the collagen I was eating) even though I gained 65lbs (definitely all the non- carnivore foods I ate plus, I started out really skinny and I had some fluid retention going on at the end). I went to 42 weeks pregnant, placenta did great. And then I had the baby in 5 hours at home with zero tearing, great recovery. And my baby is super healthy, he had visible muscle tone from birth and he's still extremely strong, very smart, and his disposition is great as well. Totally recommend carnivore/animal based pregnancy.
I also ate my placenta. I just had my midwife chop it up and stick it in the freezer and I put chunks of it in smoothies. I could tell a very subtle energy lift, but it wasn't that significant for me and I think it's because I eat organs and have a nutritionally complete diet already.
It breaks my heart to see unhappy babies and moody toddlers and i swear it's just because of their modern diet, high in seed oils, grains and sugars is making them grouchy. You see siberian babies on ray mears in tribes and they never cry, maybe it's their diet and being outdoors all the time?
@@joemckinley I think it definitely makes a difference. But now that he's a little older and officially a toddler, he is a bit whiny sometimes so I think all babies cry from time to time.

I adored this episode. As a mom of 6 kids and a past doula and childbirth educator, it is so wonderful to hear all of this come out into the mainstream. I was thrilled to hear you guys speak on the dangers of contraception, as well. You might consider looking into the connection between hormonal contraceptives and breast cancer (there’s a similar link with abortion, actually, too). Traditional Catholics have been using natural means to space babies for millennia (when posed with serious reasons to do so), so there are many resources for learning about cycles in the Natural Family Planning circles. There is also an amazing clinic for infertility - the Pope Paul VI Institute and Dr. Hilgers. They focus a lot on nutrition and correcting root causes, as well as helping women understand their cycles through the Creighton Model.
You guys!!! Thankyou Dr Paul!!! And thanks Lindsay :) Mum of 8 kiddos here, hubby turned carnivore and kids and me are transitioning to animal based - we are all thriving!! Anticipating possibly another preg had me needing serious myth cracking regarding pregnancy nutrition and I'm so thankful this answered so many of my concerns! THANKYOU!!!!
This is a great reproductive and pregnancy podcast in general but its by far the best one that addresses information about meat based diet and reproduction.
The craziest thing just happened! While driving to Florida…listening to this podcast… you mentioned White Oak Pastures in Georgia and we passed it only a few minutes later! So here we sit, eating lunch. We will stop by on the way back home to grab some meat!
Ok I absolutely loved this podcast, but at the end postpartum was barely mentioned & I want so badly to hear more! Nobody talks about postpartum depression or hormone balance after giving birth. Please please bring her back to dive deep on this! 🫶🏼 Us mamas desperately need help in this area.
Post partum is eased AGAIN by food! You lost unbelieveable amounts of energy aka nutrients, so replenish them! So the right foods for the growth of your baby aply to you further after birth. The same with breastfeeding! Breastfeeding is vital for the baby AND you! To put your organs back into place after birth, due to contractions during breastfeeding. Read LA LECHE LEAGE about breastfeeding. It is drinking/eating and immunity. A thick book. The older versions are very good! I know a Peruan woman who breastfed her children for years. After they got teeth, it was food also, but the kids still came ones in a while to hang on her breast. The mom ate very well to keep her health and teeth! Never vaccinated. Never sick. Sleeping with your baby!
Would love to listen to a podcast between you and Lily Nichols. Her book, Real Food for Pregnancy, is how I knew about folic acid not being the right form of folate and that adding liver into a pre/during/post pregnancy diet was ideal back when I was doing keto during my first pregnancy. It would be interesting to see where the common ground is on the subject of animal based between the two of you.
So happy to hear you talk about this! I conceived our four children while following Weston A. Price principles, and they are all vibrant and healthy, but I wish I had known more about the carnivore/animal based way of eating back then. I'm slowing transitioning our family to more of this way of eating, and am exited to see if there are any major differences with my (hopefully) next pregnancy. I love the conversation about natural childbirth and post partum health as well. Thank you for including this conversation in all of the wealth of information you share!
Highly recommend the book: childbirth wisdom by judith goldsmith It discusses the diets and habits of traditional societies in pregnancy, birth & postpartum.
I craved raw eggs early in pregnancy. I used your supplement and food grade prenatal. I ate a whole food diet with plenty of meat and seafood. Had a very easy home birth with my 4th child. Your supplements are amazing.
@@annaoslo8650 I took some of his animal based ones it wasn't a prenatal but it had a mix of organ meats maybe weekly not daily. I also took a whole food b complex Garden of life. My diet was mostly whole foods so I didn't need to take this everyday. & Sometimes Chlorela. Just check out his website and read the ones you feel comfortable taking. My husband had gotten them for him but he rarely took them lol.
I am so thankful I knew about the importance of animal foods in pregnancy especially with reference to heme-iron, because so many women are anemic in pregnancy and postpartum, and being anemic or not is the difference between feeling semi-human versus feeling like absolute hot garbage.
I grew up vegetarian and have been eating vegetarian most of my life. My husband didn’t have any non-vegetarian people in his family for centuries. I have eaten meat once in a while but I stopped craving it completely while I was pregnant. I gave birth to a healthy, good size baby in a beautiful natural birth process. My placenta looked more like the carnivore placenta in the Nourished documentary. I have seen quite a few cases of placental abruption - all were meat eaters. I think it’s not about whether you are a carnivore, a vegetarian or a vegan - all diets can be healthy if done well. The main problem is that most people don’t know how to be vegan or vegetarian in a way that you consume nutrient dense foods.
@PaulSaladinoMD: Diary of a CEO podcast just had on a pregnancy doctor (Dr Natalie Crawford). She mentioned that eating red meat is not good for women’s eggs nor male sperm quality. Would love to hear a video on your thoughts or reply to her advice/claims. Thanks for your information!
I'm gonna beat this drum again, Paul: Regenerative Organic (read biodynamically raised in environments and with practices that are without corruption) meats and raw foods are without risk. This is dependent, of course, upon basic common sense butchering and storage practices. But if you're eating conventionally produced meat and eggs raw you are absolutely at risk. Conventional eggs are a danger because large numbers of chickens raised in confined spaces (this happens with usda organic standard eggs also, source your food wisely) produce a measure of ammonia from their waste significant enough to burns lesions into their lungs which invites infection into their meat and eggs. That's the source of salmonella. Eating the wrong meat also opens you up to food poisoning. It is highly abnormal for grass fed ruminant herbivores to pass harmful bacteria to humans because our acidic digestive environment kills whatever bacteria survived the neutral ph of the animal's digestive system. When you feed grain all bets are off because you've then created a very acidic environment in that animal. This is why swine are prohibited in dietary laws regarding clean and unclean animals, which are entirely biologically sound. Swine have an acidic digestive tract and therefore the bacteria and parasites that survive it are highly transmissible to humans who have a similarly supportive digestive tract. Why aren't we eating raw pork? Because it's biologically unsafe. Eating raw regenerative organic grass fed pasture raised ruminant meat, dairy and eggs (read: *beyond* usda organic standards, according to the nature of the animal and the human) is virtually without risk. ROA all the way, every day, Paul.
So the juxtaposition here is of "at risk" and "virtually no risk". I'm arguing that the cases of food borne illness from consuming undercooked or uncooked conventional meat dairy and eggs are almost entirely a result of the biology of the animal and the production practices. If we had a control for exclusively regenerative organic diets high in raw biologically appropriate food consumption I posit that we would see zero instances of food poisoning when appropriate butchery and storage are in place. We have an enormous number of yearly instances of food poisoning when consuming conventional products. Your own experience notwithstanding, the exception doesn't disprove the rule.
don't forget that a lot of the problems with food borne illness also comes from a gut dysbiosis problem. If you have a strong intestinal wall, and you should if you avoid Linoleic Acid since the intensine membrane's structure turns over very quickly, and would be ideally very saturated, which would prevent the overtaxing of the immune system.
These supplements are awesome complementing animal based+fruit! I use whole package and grass fed protein. This protein by far is the best out there you can feel the difference and I always have it with raw milk and 4 raw pasture raised and finished organic eggs ❤️🤟 rock on Paul! Keep it going until at least we get real government guideline changes for nutrition. This movement has done a lot of push and the more people that unite and feel the difference the easier it will be to beat big pharma and convert the population.
Thumbs up so Paul sees. Simon Hill wants you on his podcast, author of the book The proof is in the plants. He uses science and evidence based research to put forward a plant rich diet. He's not like Joel Furhman and is pretty sound guy that doesn't push 100% vegan. 👍
bart kay and harry serpanos are good sources of information too. harry had been digging into the cancer research. look them up. oh, and theyre carnivores too. theyre your buddies basically
it gets rid of seed oils, and so many negative outcomes occur because of seed oils. the only reason this isn't highlighted more is there are many confounders that distort how disastrous seed oils are to our health
theres more to this than just seed oils. its a reductionist idea that seed oils are the one and only reason for poor health. paul is wrong to ignore other confounding variables that contribute to poor health. also, he looks awful nowadays. with bra1n fog too. he used to be healthier. wonder what happened?
54:09 people are still absolutely insane about the ‘virus.’ They have lifted the mask requirements in my state months ago and I still see a significant amount of people still suffocating themselves in the name of ‘good health.’ I saw an elderly couple that were both double masked. Their muted voices and miserable look was almost palpable. What a horrific injustice this who debacle/hoax has been. Those who were closeted OCD/germs phobic are now openly practicing their sickness in public and few seem to care.
You're wrong about the virus. It's not only real and deadly, about three or four people have died from it as well. Everyone should be panicked about it! We're all going to die from it! Well, three or four will anyway.
I have multiple fibroids and I am so confused over what to eat. The consensus is I should eat no animal products, no bread, no grains, no rice, no potatoes, etc. Only some vegetables and fruit. I have tried this and I am naturally underweight. This diet put me in severe weight loss. I started eating pumpernickel bread with peanutbutter to keep my weight up between smoothies and salads. My mate is a carnivore and i eat meat with him occasionally but this is a big no no. I dont know what to do.
I'm not sure. But I can't think of a single medical problem that hasn't been fixed by a carnivore diet. So maybe look into it yourself a bit more and try to find some other people who have the same problems as you
@No name if I’m being honest I can’t remember exactly what podcast it was it was around a year ago and one more recently I can’t recall exactly though sorry I couldn’t be of more use. Do some digging around you’ll find it
considering how paul looks awful these days, id rather listen to bart kay about the randle cycle. hes a carnivore too just like paul. however, bart is an actual scientist, paul isnt. bart is a bit autistc though! haha
I’ve been plant based my whole life and had two super healthy home births and my midwives were impressed at the health of my placenta and energy to work out up till the birth with both. Took placenta capsules after my first birth and had PPD and didn’t take them the second go around and recovered easier. Everyone is different and I know many mamas thriving on a plant based diet through pregnancy and post postpartum. I’ve also never craved meat ever in my life or during my pregnancy. The thought is gross and I crave kale a lot during my pregnancies.
This is all so confusing. I started carnivore but still eat fruits and vegetables and even some rice and potatoes and it has helped heal so many of my issues, like joint pain. Maybe it’s the elimination of seed oils and refined grains that has helped me. But I do love a good steak and roast chicken. Still confused about which way to go and am currently pregnant!
Breastfeeding. Even though it is scientifically and logically sound, I wouldn't bet my life on it, I've known women who got knocked up while still breastfeeding. I guess it has to be while you're still amenorreich. Once you get your period back, even if breastfeeding, you're fertile again.
With exclusive on demand breastfeeding I didn’t get my period until 9-12 months. Most supplement or bottle feed this wouldn’t work. Has to be at the breast.
@@cristinadealmeida3823 my wife got pregnant 11 months into breast feeding our son. She could not get pregnant until that time. My wife's friend went truth the same thing. Maybe it's true up until close to that 1 mark....
Wow. I am a postpartum woman. I had a homebirth and was vegan my pregnancy. My placenta was one of the healthiest my midwife and doula had seen (my midwife delievered over 1900 babies). My baby is incredibly healthy. I am curious to open up to animal products in my postpartum stage - but geez I am surprised of the judgment of this practitioner. This feels fear created .
@@elliottrichardson8213 "animal based" is still carnivore. a carnivore = any creature that eats meat. meat is also the primary source of nutrients. paul eats meat = paul is a carnivore a hypercarnivore on the other hand is a bit different. hypercarnivores are predominantly animal based, and eat ALOT more meat. around 70% or more. lions, birds of prey like vultures, hyenas, prehistoric humans, theyre all hypercarnivores. paul does not qualify as a hypecarnivore as he eats up to 400g of carbs. to quality as a hypercarnivore, he needs to drop the carbs and eat more meat.
