I wonder if this guy will end up with bad vit A toxicity or because he lives in Costa Rica and loves surfing etc. THis high sun exposure is enough to lower vit A in the body..?

@jiri Saladino is also eating a large amount of high carotenoid fruits (mango, watermelon, papaya). I can't imagine all the liver, dairy, eggs, and carotene won't catch up to him eventually.
In one of his latest videos, he looks terrible in my option. Maybe it's just me though. I think his skin looks horrible (just a bit too much sun?). Also, his arms and face look so thin, but his stomach looks mildly distended/bloated.

What stands out to me is not so much his appearance but his tense vibe, he's a little too harsh for my taste, and I prefer more mellow YouTubers. It may be his personality and not so much diet-related. Anyway, his teeth look nice.

Wow, I hadn't watched many of his videos lately...he is scary intense in that fruit one and he really doesn't look very good compared to his older videos. Seems like he's yelling at the camera. Maybe the criticism of his claims about fruit and honey is getting under his skin. He might have just had a bad night's sleep before that video, but his face seems a little sunken and his overall skin tone and appearance seems odd...likes he's suddenly aged a bunch.
I've actually written to him several times now. At first, I was relaying my own experiences with Vitamin A and asking for his opinion. But the last time I wrote to him, I straight up told him he was becoming Vitamin A toxic and explained how eating a bunch of fructose in fruit and honey both masks the symptoms and worsens the condition in the long run. Naturally, I got zero response from him on that email.

@wavygravygadzooks, want a bit of gossip? My good friend contacted him for advice on carnivore diet. She followed his $800 per pop wisdom until troubles started to show up. She contacted him again trying to figure things out but there was no response. Saladino is the fair weather man. A little rain and he hides away as do some other “prominent” figures in the carnivore movement. PKD people blatantly accused their clients of eating chocolate in hiding, when problems appeared. No wonder many quit the carnivore movement never going back.

I was a client of Saladino off and on and he definitely had a functional medicine aspect to his private practice, but in the end his heart wasn't in being a functional medicine practitioner. But he was willing to consider some wacky ideas to treat me and occasionally was willing to write prescriptions using his MD credentials. I imagine he has given up his US medical license and is no longer working with many clients.
In the animal-based community, nutritionist Judy Cho is taking up the functional medicine torch by working with difficult clients, for example those with mold illness. Cho also acknowledges vitamin A toxicity. I hope Cho's more inclusive approach will inspire other practitioners and end up helping a lot of the sick people.
I also met with the Paleomedicina folks several times and considered myself a follower of theirs for a while. I agree they are dogmatic and there is little evidence their approach of absolutely no supplements is necessary for many non-deadly diseases like autoimmune conditions. If I had a cancer where months to live is low, I might do their approach or their approach plus Tom Cowan's stropanthus, which is supposedly the Gerson therapy in a pill. But there is some risk that the supplement could screw up the anti-cancer aspects of the Paleomedicina diet.

Here is a Saladino video from today, where he is wearing a shirt and speaking normally. He looks good for his age. As a small brag, I was the client who turned Saladino on to the uranium content of Gerolsteiner and other bottled waters.

I just scrolled all the way back to his first YouTube video and compared his appearance to today. Maybe I'm looking too hard for something that's not there, but I swear he's lost the outer edges of his eyebrows. It could just be that the hairs got lighter in all the sun he's getting...that certainly happened with the hair on his scalp. But I feel like the hairs on the outer edges of my own eyebrows thinned as a consequence of Vitamin A toxicity, which makes me wonder.
