Meet Our Founder
Dr. Paul Saladino has spent the past decade challenging modern nutrition and medicine. A physician formally trained in cardiology, internal medicine, and psychiatry, Paul is known for his work in metabolic health, ancestral living, and nutrient optimization. He built Ruminant to bring true context back to lab testing.
After years inside the medical system, Paul realized how often modern healthcare treats symptoms instead of understanding root causes. That realization pushed him to forge a new path; one grounded in ancestral principles and true metabolic science.
He believes optimal health isn't found in reference ranges or prescriptions. It's found in understanding how the human body was designed to thrive. Every element of Ruminant reflects that philosophy: data interpreted through an ancestral lens, rooted in nature, grounded in science.
Through Ruminant, Paul's goal is simple. He wants to give people clarity, autonomy, and the tools to live as humans were meant to.

Rooted in Science.Aligned with Nature.
Modern medicine built its reference ranges around sedentary, processed food filled humans.
We built ours for something different.
Ruminant is grounded in the belief that optimal health looks different when you live as humans were meant to; eating whole foods, getting sunlight, moving daily, and respecting the rhythms of nature.
Our lab interpretations reflect that truth. They're calibrated for those who eat nutrient dense food, thrive on movement, and chase sunlight instead of screens.
It's not alternative medicine, it's human medicine, finally aligned with how your body evolved to perform.
