Paul Saladino MD podcast

Ever wonder why your cholesterol climbs after you clean up your diet, or why your doctor calls your creatinine a kidney problem?

In this video, I share the highlights from my two hour live Q&A at the Animal Based Gathering in Costa Rica — ApoB and metabolic health, honey versus processed sugar, thyroid and testosterone as the check engine light, peptides, NAD, medical education, and being a conduit for something bigger.

Ever wondered why a molecule as simple as hydrogen could influence everything from Parkinson's to metabolic syndrome?
We explored how molecular hydrogen selectively targets only the most harmful free radicals while leaving beneficial ones alone, making it fundamentally different from every other antioxidant supplement gathering dust in your cabinet.
The six-month metabolic syndrome study particularly caught my attention: participants drinking hydrogen water saw improvements in glucose levels, HbA1c, inflammation markers, and even lost weight – with no diet changes or exercise requirements.
Tyler breaks down why those expensive alkaline water machines aren't doing what you think (spoiler: it's not about pH), why hydrogen inhalation requires serious safety considerations, and exactly how to dose hydrogen water for maximum benefit.
And on top of all this, we tackle why this primordial molecule – literally present since the beginning of the universe – seems almost designed to work with human biology, and why megadoses of vitamins C and E can actually harm exercise performance while hydrogen acts as a fine-tuning modulator.

Ever wonder why you're exhausted despite eating well, or why your child's behavioral issues seem impossible to solve? The answers might be hiding in tests your doctor never runs.
I've been investigating functional medicine testing for years, but Evan Brand has run more than 5,000 of these specialized lab panels—putting him in the top 10 worldwide.
And what he's discovered will challenge everything you think you know about health problems.
We’re talking about:
Parasite infections in 80% of people tested
Mold toxicity reversing autism diagnoses
Environmental toxins in kids exceeding levels seen in the elderly
This isn't about adding more supplements. It’s about understanding why your body isn’t working the way it should.
Evan walks through specific biomarkers that reveal gut infections, mycotoxin exposure, heavy metals, and Lyme disease—conditions rarely tested for in conventional medicine but potentially driving your symptoms.
This conversation will shift how you think about root causes vs. symptom management.

What if the system that allowed thousands of chemicals into our food with minimal oversight is finally getting a major overhaul?

For years, a loophole meant for simple ingredients like salt became a highway for countless additives. I sat down with the FDA's Deputy Commissioner for Food to get the inside story on their shift from reactive to proactive.
We dive into how they're closing the 'generally recognized as safe' (GRAS) loophole, establishing a new framework to re-evaluate substances already in our food, and why ingredients like food dyes—offering no nutritional value—are facing a reckoning. Discover the critical changes aiming for a more transparent and potentially safer food supply for all of us.

Last week, I had the privilege of attending a press conference at the White House where I got the opportunity to sit down with Vani Hari.

Vani has been one of the leaders in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, advocating for food transparency and reducing chemical additives.

It's staggering to realize we're exposed to things like 500% more glyphosate and tens of thousands more chemicals in our environment and food supply compared to many other developed nations, directly impacting why so many of us struggle with health.

In this podcast, I'm diving into these uncomfortable truths with Vanni, including insights from a pivotal new report, about this 'chemical soup.'

We uncover how these substances aren't just present, but are often engineered to hijack your brain, making the old 'calories in, calories out' mantra very misleading.

Huge thanks to Vani for taking the time to sit down and shed light on this issue.
