In The Carnivore Code, his interview with Joe Rogan, and numerous other videos and interviews, psychiatrist and author Paul Saladino presents a wide range of controversial and questionable claims about health and diet. While many of these assertions have been debunked, they continue to create confusion, and critiques of Saladino’s statements can be challenging to locate. To help clarify these issues, I’ve compiled a collection of some of the most insightful videos and articles that thoroughly debunk his misleading or false claims, enabling readers to form their own informed opinions.
Anyone considering acting on Paul Saladino’s dubious dietary advice would do well to first watch and read everything posted here. A big thank you to all who took the time to create this content.

Paul Saladino on Joe Rogan Experience: Hype vs. Evidence
Recently Paul Saladino, a psychiatrist, and proponent of the carnivore Diet appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast. I have previously debated Saladino and found that he liked to cherry-pick his evidence, focus on weak mechanistic data, and ignore large volumes of evidence counter to his bias. As soon as this podcast went up, my inbox piled up with requests to debunk his talking points. Now, I don’t like to analyze something to debunk it because that is biased in and of itself. So I tried to give the podcast a real chance to present evidence and critically evaluate it. After finishing this article, I can say that it was worse than I ever could have imagined. It was far worse than The Game Changers. There were so many insane claims that it took me far longer to finish this article than it did any of my previous critical analyses of films or appearances on Rogan’s podcast (i.e., Wilks, Kresser, Taubes, Guyenet). I am not expecting this article will change the minds of any hardcore Carnivore diet advocates. Still, for the average person just looking for the truth and confused by all the different diets out there, I hope this can help bring some clarity…and sanity to the discussion.
