184. The problem with eating plants

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are plant defense chemicals real? Are they a problem for humans? Paul addresses these questions in today’s podcast along with why he believes they are harmful for many people at a molecular level.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A note from Paul: Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion:  Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible I hope you’ll join me on this journey.</span></p> <p><strong>Time Stamps:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:06:16 Podcast begins</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:09:15 What are plant defense chemicals?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:16:50 An anecdote on removing vegetables and switching to animal-based</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:19:05 Animal and plant warfare </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:24:50 Vegetables through an anthropological lens</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:30:40 The effects of plant compounds on the gut</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:33:00 Debunking any benefits of vegetables in our diet</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:42:35 Plant compounds have negative side effects </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:46:14 The harmful effects of oxalates and other plant defense chemicals</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1:00:30 The problem with lectins</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1:08:30 Plants do not want to be eaten</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Link to Sal’s Story about healing through Animal-based eating:</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp13WsEL7P8"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp13WsEL7P8</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hormetic stress: The benefit of SAUNA vs. broccoli:</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvKgXnKYfd0"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvKgXnKYfd0</span></a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heart & Soil:</span> <a href="http://www.heartandsoil.co"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.heartandsoil.co</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Carnivore MD Merch:</span> <a href="http://www.kaleisbullshit.shop"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.kaleisbullshit.shop</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make a donation to the Animal Based Nutritional Research Foundation:</span> <a href="http://abnrf.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">abnrf.org</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">White Oak Pastures:</span> <a href="http://www.whiteoakpastures.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.whiteoakpastures.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, use code CarnivoreMD for 10% off your first order or Carnivore5 for 5% off subsequent orders</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marek Health:</span> <a href="http://marekhealth.com/fundamentalhealth"><span style="font-weight: 400;">marekhealth.com/fundamentalhealth</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, use code PAUL for 10% off your first lab order</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Colima Salt:</span> <a href="http://drpaulsalt.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">drpaulsalt.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for a free bag of Colima Sea Salt</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bon Charge: <a href="https://boncharge.com">https://boncharge.com</a>, use code CAR
