#1–Sally Fallon: "Nourishing Diets: How Paleo Ancestral and Traditional Peoples Really Ate"

In this podcast I talk with Sally about her most recent book Nourishing Diets: How Paleo, Ancestral and Traditional Peoples Really Ate. Sally's past work on traditional diet brought me back from a year of vegetarianism, and has been incredibly influential on my newfound health. But her new book takes it to a whole new level. Going back into diary accounts from the pre-industrial Europeans and the first explorers to have contact with traditional peoples in the Americas, Africa, and Australia she paints a compelling picture of their diet, impeccable health and how they managed their land holistically. Never before have I read such an inspiring account of what is possible when the health of land and the health of its people are viewed as one. 

Sally shares her wisdom on:

• What the most universal human diseases is (I guarantee you have it)
• The insidious origins of our iconic food pyramid
• The importance of fat, salt, and carbs in our diet
• Why our government and educational institutions are so antagonistic to traditional diets and optimal human health
• The "natural selection of the wise"
• How wilderness is a "dirty" word in traditional cultures
• And so much more!​
