#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 pyramidThe importance of fat, salt, and carbs in our dietWhy our government and educational institutions are so antagonistic to traditional diets and optimal human healthThe "natural selection of the wise"How wilderness is a "dirty" word in traditional culturesAnd so much more!​
