Our Story – Lineage Provisions (2024)

Founded by Paul Saladino MD and Anthony Gustin DC, Lineage Provisions exists to make animal-based nutrition easy with a high standard for quality, nutrient-density, taste, and transparency and to make the world's best products sourced from the world's best producers and farms.

The first product we set out to make was a no brainer, or so we thought. 100% grass-fed beef and organs, that actually taste good, and easy to take with you on-the-go. Oh, and without all the junk like processing aids, flavoring, stabilizers, preservatives, and curing aids. Not as easy as we planned...

It took us over two years and 54 batches to figure out how to source the highest quality meat and organs and most importantly—make them taste amazing—without putting any junk in them.

No surprise, we had to wind back the clock and rediscover some of our ancestral food preservation techniques to make the best meat snack the world has ever seen.

Almost all brands cook, cure, and preserve their meat, which leads to unwanted additives that destroy your gut and make you feel like you ate a pound of salt.

We skillfully blend 100% grass-fed beef, heart and liver in our meat sticks with vinegar and sea salt, and then use a traditional five day long air-drying process to get them just right.

Our ancestral air-drying method not only seals in the nutrients and retains critical enzymes found in raw meat, but also refines the flavor, eliminates the bite from organs, while leaving one of the most delicious meat snacks you can find.

We hope you enjoy the result of years of effort it took us to create the cleanest, tastiest, and most nutrient dense snack on the planet as much we do!

In case you're wondering why we are obsessing over organs so much...

• Nature's single most nutrient-dense superfood
• Contains the most bioavailable sources of essential vitamins and minerals like choline, vitamin A, Vitamin K2, folate, and more

• A unique superfood invariably prized by cultures around the world, with a taste similar to muscle meat
• Provides all essential amino acids, vital vitamins, and minerals like riboflavin, co-Q10, zinc, and B vitamins

• Nature knows best. Our goal is to get out of the way and get you access to the foods we've been eating throughout all of our human history.
• We embrace, celebrate, and honor the sacred gifts of superfoods like meat and organs that our ancestors prized.
• As with our air-drying method, our goal is to take the processing out of food as much as we can.

• We will prioritize preservation of nutrient-density above all else.
• We use only the most bioavailable forms of food based nutrients on the planet.
• You should have easy access to foods that not only taste good, but add to your health as well.

• We'll never use any fillers, binders, preservatives, or artificial anything.
• We will rigorously vet our supply chains and only work with the best suppliers possible.
• We will 3rd party test all ingredients and products for contaminants and environmental toxins to prove our purity.

Dr. Gustin is a former sports rehab clinician turned entrepreneur, author, podcast host, investor, and amateur farmer. He's passionate about exploring how to live like a human and is dedicated to helping others reject the manmade environment that has made them sick so they can reclaim their humanity. As the founder of Perfect Keto and Equip Foods, Dr. Gustin has been working tirelessly to provide people with real food nutrition and supplementation to help them on their health journey.

While both Dr. Saladino and Dr. Gustin firmly believe the foundation of health is in real whole food sourced from small local farms, the reality is so many people—including themselves—have so few options to maintain a high standard of nutrition while on-the-go.

This is why they created Lineage Provisions. They created the high-quality animal-based products they wish existed for themselves, their family, friends, patients—and for you.

Guided by their shared passion for ancestral nutrition and regenerative agriculture, Dr. Paul Saladino and Dr. Anthony Gustin set out to create the perfect snack. Their vision led to the birth of Lineage Provisions' air-dried meat sticks, which combine great taste and essential nutrients in a portable, satisfying option for people who want to eat like humans and remember their lineage.

At Lineage Provisions, we're committed to using only the finest 100% grass-fed and grass-finished meat, ethically sourced from farms that prioritize species appropriate rotational grazing, animal welfare, and regnerative practices.

We believe that 100% grass-fed meat is not only the superior protein choice for its taste and texture but also for its diverse range of health benefits.

Our 100% grass-fed meat, prepared with an air-drying method, retains its vital nutrients and offers:

• Higher levels of essential vitamins like riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6, B12, choline,and more,and minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, selenium,the list goes on…
• Fewer toxins from moldy, pesticide-filled grains like glyphosate and mycotoxins
• Preservation of animo acids, fatty acids, and enzymes present in raw meat

At Lineage Provisions, our mission goes beyond providing nutrient-dense, real foods. We're dedicated to healing our planet by advocating regenerative farming practices that counteract the negative impacts of conventional agriculture. Our commitment to regenerative agriculture ensures that we source our ingredients from farms that prioritize:

• Improved soil health and fertility
• Enhanced biodiversity and wildlife habitats
• Thoughtful water management and conservation
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions through carbon sequestration
• Improved animal welfare and no antibiotics or hormones

Thank you so much for coming on this journey with us and supporting us in our mission!

• I made these meat sticks for myself, my family, my friends, and those who follow my stuff online. I wanted an easy way to get organs while I’m traveling, surfing, on road trips, and give them to my niece and nephew as a snack. I'm so proud of what we've built.

• Liver and heart are such nutrient-rich foods, and they’re so valuable for me in my diet. I love the convenience of Lineage meat sticks to get these organs in my diet.
