Welcome to the Eat Ancestral Podcast. 

My name is Ben. 

For the past 10 years or so, I have been on a quest to fully understand nutrition, human physiology, and more recently, the transfer of health between generations, and how all of this fits into the larger ecosystem of health and wellbeing. 

In this Podcast, we’ll be going deep into a range of related topics;

— A primary focus will be understanding the nutritional inputs needed to build healthy, robust humans.

— To help us do that, we’ll be talking a lot about the differences between ancestral diets (meaning what humans ate throughout most of their evolution) and contrasting that with recent changes--the modern nutritional guidelines you find stamped on cereal boxes today.

We’ll unpack the profound impact of these food choices on our ancient biological systems, how this regulates our genetic expression, influences body composition and cognitive function, to name but a few, and how all of that, in large part, will come to dictates our immunity—or susceptibility—to sickness and chronic disease. 

To make things more practical, we’ll also be touching on food sourcing and traditional food preparation methods, including a focus on sustainability and ethical considerations, and how these are intimately connected to our nutritional ideals. 

Effectively, I want to offer you a better strategy for how to think about food, and how to go about feeding ourselves, while still enjoying life, and not destroying our own health, that of future generations, or that of the planet in the process. 

The goal here is to offer knowledge, tools and methods that have stood the test of time, and this will hopefully reduce suffering in the world, and empower fellow humans to lead better lives, and to eat better food.
