Empowering Health Through Science and Tradition.

Advancing research on animal-based nutrition to uncover its role in promoting optimal health and well-being.

A New Era in Health Research

The Evolution of Nutrition.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to funding clinical research to explore the nutritional value of animal meat and organs in human diets. We believe that animal-based foods are an essential foundation for a healthy diet, and we aim to correct the narrative shaped by flawed science.

Our Vision

We envision a world where health professionals are equipped with unbiased, research-backed knowledge on nutrition. Our goal is to reshape medical education to include the importance of an evolutionarily appropriate diet for humans, benefitting both future practitioners and their patients.

What We Stand For

Transparency, honesty, and the courage to stand up against misinformation define us. We are committed to open knowledge sharing, and we believe in freedom from censorship in our mission to spread the truth about animal-based nutrition.

Fueling Innovation in Nutritional Science.

Driving groundbreaking research to illuminate the vital role of animal-based foods in human health.

The Animal Based Nutrition Research Foundation (ABNRF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing clinical research on the health benefits of animal-based foods, including meat and organs, in the human diet. Founded by Dr. Paul Saladino, also known as the Carnivore MD and author of the best-selling book The Carnivore Code, ABNRF is committed to exploring the transformative potential of animal-based nutrition.

Dr. Saladino, a board-certified physician and expert in nutrition, graduated from the University of Arizona with a focus on integrative medicine and nutritional biochemistry. He completed his residency at the University of Washington, and today, he leads the charge in promoting a diet that prioritizes animal products for optimal health.
