PAUL SALADINO, MD
About this episode

In this week’s podcast, Paul sits down in person with Shannen Michaela, a well-known contortionist on social media who just happened to move to Costa Rica and is expecting her first child. Shannen shares her story from being a vegan in her teen years with acne and birth control struggles to now eating an animal-based diet to optimize fertility and overall health. They chat about the ethics of eating meat, why they think the government would be pushing an anti-meat agenda, and why they believe animal foods are optimal for all.
