This is a story about humans—where we came from, and what diet (and lifestyle) we followed along the way.

When it comes to choosing personal care items (soap, deodorant, shampoo, sun screen etc.), here’s a good rule of thumb: if it’s not made from natural ingredients, don’t put it on your skin.

Do you find nutrition complicated? Confusing? Here’s the simplest way to think about it.

Sunlight is essential for optimal health and wellbeing. Aside from Vitamin D, it also triggers a cascade of favourable changes in our physiology.

In the modern era, plant foods are considered de facto healthy—containing nothing but nutrients. But is this really true?

When we talk about ‘most nutritious foods for humans’, we need to consider something called bioavailability. If we do not, we run the risk of developing severe nutrient deficiencies.

Despite our technological prowess, the majority of modern humans are living in a perpetual state of ill-health. Approximately 1 in 3 people are dealing with more than five health problems at the same time. These are shocking statistics, as is our main strategy for dealing with it.

What seems to be missing from 21st century nutrition conversations is an understanding of the first principles, or foundations, that apply to all humans.

Derby, Western Australia, 1983. A group of ten indigenous Australians (with type-2 diabetes) revert to an ancestral diet and lifestyle for seven weeks. The metabolic health of all participants improves—dramatically.

Out of all the foods that humans have consumed throughout our history, some have been particularly sought-after. Here is our summary of them, made by Mother Nature—discovered by your ancestors—and confirmed by modern scientific analysis.

Health is not simply an absence of symptoms or disease. And yet, Western healthcare is fixated upon this idea. If we’ve learned anything over the past 100 years, it’s that health cannot be understood—or meaningfully created—by studying disease alone.

Few cultures now prepare food as it ought to be prepared. This is critical information, because in order to render our food safe to eat, more digestible, more nutritious and most delicious, we need to prepare it properly—like our ancestors did.

Water is a solvent—many things dissolve into it. Read on to see why your modern water supply needs scrutinising as much as your modern food supply does.

These days, salt intake is widely-discouraged, viewed as another culprit for our health woes. But this is at odds with our history, culture, and animal physiology.

If you want to build robust health and vitality, here is a simple concept to follow: eat real food.
