Food for Humans

Bestselling author of The Carnivore Code, Paul Saladino, presents a revolutionary new approach to health built on a simple but radical idea: the human body already knows how to prosper when we give it the food it was designed to eat.

We have forgotten what actual food is. We are living in an age of food abundance, with climate-controlled grocery stores that feature an array of foods, available to us year-round. And yet, obesity levels eclipse 40%, heart disease is responsible for 20% of deaths, rates of many cancers continue to rise, and nearly half of all adults suffer from high blood pressure. We have sacrificed our health for convenience, and it’s literally killing us.

In this comprehensive, myth-shattering guide, Dr. Paul Saladino takes us on a journey to rediscover the foods humans were designed to eat in order to live healthier lives. Our bodies are built to thrive on single-ingredient whole foods like natural protein sources, nutrient-rich organs, fruits, and vegetables—not processed, shelf-stable products, even the ones marketed as “healthy.” Many chronic health issues—from digestive problems to autoimmune disorders—are a direct result of a mismatch between our ancient biology and our contemporary diet.

Saladino traces our dietary history from hunter-gatherer societies to the industrial food system, exploring how vastly different our modern diet is from our ancestral one. Food for Humans explains how eating more meat, fish, nuts, seeds, fruits, and intentionally prepared vegetables—without refined sugars, processed vegetable oils, artificial sweeteners, and other ingredients your great grandmother would not recognize—can unlock optimal health and longevity. Discover why:

• Metabolic health is the missing factor when it comes to our health and wellness. • Eating more of the right foods is more effective than counting calories for sustained weight loss. • How a Carnivore diet can be used to quickly “reset” and discover hidden food triggers. • How a broader lifestyle philosophy that extends beyond nutrition can massively improve your long-term quality of life.

Your body has the ability to return to optimal health if you know what to feed it. The solution may be simpler than you think. You are, in fact, what you eat. It’s time to discover how to actually fuel and nourish the human body: with Food for Humans.
