Part 17 - Dr. Bill Schindler on Food, Our Ancestors, and How We Became Human

Dr. Bill Schindler is the director of the Eastern Shore Food Lab at Washington College where he is also an associate professor of archaeology and anthropology. Two years ago he co-hosted the National Geographic show The Great Human Race. He spent the last year abroad continuing his hands-on research and professional development by immersing himself and his family with indigenous and traditional groups around the world to learn about their food and diets. As an experimental archaeologist and primitive technologist his specialties are in recreating technologies of the past to better interpret our ancestral diets. His current focus is learning how to translate the outcomes of that research into something meaningful for modern day diet and health and is working to fuse lessons from our ancestral dietary past with modern culinary arts to create a food system that is relevant, accessible and meaningful to modern Western life.

We got into so many interesting things like the development of humans and how it tracked with food technology, drinking blood and milk with pastoral tribes in Africa, eating brains, ancient food preparation and hunting, my favorite topic - nutrient density, and so much more. It was so enlightening talking to him, I'll stop talking now so you can have a listen.

I have to mention the Food Lies film. Preorder on Indiegogo to support its creation and this podcast. Thanks!

Show Notes

  • Dr. Bill Schindler is a professor at Washington College in Maryland
  • Director of Eastern Shore Food Lab https://www.washcoll.edu/departments/eastern-shore-food-lab/
  • His whole life has led up to his career and interests
  • His dad took him into nature and he learned to deal with taking an animal's life even though he didn't enjoy it
  • Also grew up with mom and grandmother in kitchen cooking - realized it was all connected
  • Learned to hunt and make tools as our ancestors did
  • He became what's known as an experimental archeologist
  • Almost every single primitive technology made is related to food. Every tool and invention was based on getting food, processing food, storing food
  • THe realization of the different types of food processing made all the difference
  • Food processing of the past all focused on INCREASING nutrient density
  • All modern food processing focused on money savings, shipping, shelf life, etc.
  • Modern food processing also DECREASES nutrient density
  • Not everything new we do is bad though
  • Dairy is a hot topic. Just because we didn't always consume it or other mammals don't consume it past a certain time in their life, doesn't mean it's not healthy (if you tolerate it)
  • Everything changed 3.4 million years ago when we made the first tool
  • Humans are one of the weakest species on the planet on our own
  • Our bodies and brains were quite small before we created tools to access meat
  • Our digestive systems are actually pretty inefficient. We need to process our food with tools and fire to feed our large brains
  • We have bones from Ethiopia that have butcher marks on them from this time, as well as impact fractures to get bone marrow inside
  • 2 million years ago the invention of fire and some other hunting techniques were monumental for our species
  • Humans started off as scavengers
  • Once we started actually hunting ourselves we had first access to the animals we killed so therefore all the most nutrient dense, choice parts like the organ meats, etc.
  • Results in a huge increase in body and brain size and women catch up in size to men more
  • We mimic other animals in techniques of acquiring and processing foods
  • Our biology isn't set up to eat meat like other carnivores - humans are set up to use tools and technology to consume nutrient dense animal products
  • As we changed our diets, our bodies adapted to it. Homo sapiens wouldn't have made it 300,000 years ago if we didn't develop these extensions of our physical form necessary to cook and process meat
  • We have brains that require high quality animal fats to function
  • What is domestication? Humans were the first domesticated species - we domesticated ourselves
  • Our teeth got smaller as we started relying on processing food outside of our bodies
  • If we had absolutely nothing and were left to survive, the first thing we'd have to do is create a tool or control fire. Our body can do almost nothing on it's own
  • Our food technology tracked with our body and brain size over history
  • Almost all our modern produce was at one point toxic
  • Nobody knows our exact diet 300k years ago, but that doesn't matter - we have certain nutritional requirements that were established
  • We accomplished the impossible back then, but even more impossible we now have gotten ourselves obese and malnourished at the same time
  • We're using modern processing to create nutrient-free food and it is what we are basically programmed to seek out in the modern food environment
  • He argued with a pediatrician who was demanding patients to drink skim milk
  • We evolved away from our chimp ancestors who's digestive systems were made for digesting a ton of plant matter
  • When we became bipedal 5-7 million years ago, everything changed
  • Apes have to eat all day long and have giant jaw muscles to do this and tiny brains
  • Theories on why are brains doubled in size
  • Fat was prized for all of history
  • Eating the ENTIRE animal
  • White meat chicken breasts are the least nutrient dense, newest, wackiest thing we could eat
  • His family rule is kill the animal yourself or know the person who raised and killed it
  • Farmers markets are key
  • The advent of agriculture can clearly be seen in the fossil record with a decrease in physical size and brain size
  • What's the real problem with agriculture?
  • How can we utilize modern agriculture and technology to feed the billions of earth today?
  • Connect yourself to your food. Try foraging. Go hunting. Go to a butcher. Make the foods you like from scratch at least once.
  • Know the story of food
  • Focus on quality
  • Animals are the most nutrient dense foods available, especially the organ meats, brains, marrow, etc.
  • He spent a year abroad in places like Kenya and Mongolia and studied many hunter gatherers such as the Hadza
  • He was with a group that brought down a genet cat and ate all the organs immediately
  • They were continuously hunting and gathering and hide a very varied diet
  • Picturesque physiques with wide, healthy jaws, white teeth, big smiles, almost prancing as they ran
  • Just blood and milk diet for 6 months
  • How to have a meaningful conversation about diet, health, and sustainability
  • Took a year off to live with these cultures and wrote a book
  • His TV show on NatGeo called The Great Human Race http://www.natgeotv.com/int/the-great-human-race
  • We must use the lessons of the past to learn what to do now and the future
  • He painstakingly made all the period-accurate clothes for the show by hand
  • How did our ancient ancestors lived based on this knowledge?
  • We weren't "surviving" - we must have been thriving to be able to continue having many babies who could then propagate our species

Part 150 - Richard Perkins on the True Diet of Our Ancestors and Replicating this in Sweden

Richard Perkins is a worldwide leader in the regenerative agriculture space, an author, educator, and farmer. He lives in Sweden with his family on a holistically managed and integrated farm producing a variety of animal and plant foods for his family and community. His practices have taught him how humans must have provided food for themselves for the lion's share of history. From his decades of experience combined with the scientific literature and other accounts around the world, it's apparent they were eating locally & seasonally and relying on nose to tail animal nutrition for the majority of their calories.

Part 148 - Dr. Chris Palmer on Incredible Cases of Diet & Lifestyle Reversing Depression, Bipolar, and Schizophrenia

Part 148 - Dr. Chris Palmer on Incredible Cases of Diet & Lifestyle Reversing Depression, Bipolar, and Schizophrenia

In this episode, I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Chris Palmer who uses diet and lifestyle changes to improve the lives of people suffering from mental and metabolic illness. As you'll learn in the show, there is a metabolic component of many mental health conditions.   Dr. Palmer has been exploring dietary changes, like the ketogenic diet, as treatment for conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. He shares some amazing and inspiring stories that need to be shared with the world if we want to see meaningful changes to our medical system!   Dr. Palmer has been involved in psychiatric research for over 23 years. He received his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine. He did his internship and psychiatry residency at McLean Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. He is currently the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.   He has been pioneering the use of the ketogenic diet as a treatment for psychiatric disorders. This is an evidence-based treatment for epilepsy, and epilepsy treatments are commonly used in psychiatry. Additionally, the ketogenic diet has profound effects on brain metabolism that may correct some of the metabolic abnormalities often found in people with mental disorders. He is working with researchers from around the world to assess the effectiveness of this treatment in real people and better understand its mechanisms of action.   Check out his website! - https://www.chrispalmermd.com   DISCLAIMER: The opinions and information provided here by Dr. Chris Palmer and Brian Sanders are not to be taken as medical advice.     SHOW NOTES [3:30] The ketogenic diet and alcoholism [10:30] The ketogenic diet is an evidence-based treatment for epilepsy [13:40] Dr. Chris Palmer's background and personal story [21:40] Why diet works when other treatments fail [26:40] Long-standing psychiatric symptoms resolving with Keto [33:10] Metabolic flexibility and mental health [37:00] Why there's no one-size-fits-all diet [40:40] What happens when patients return to their old habits?

Part 147 - An Insider's Look at Public Health Guidelines and the Medical System - Dr. Chris Dan and Dr. Gary Shlifer

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Chris Dan and Dr. Gary Shlifer to talk about the shortcomings of the medical system and current public health guidelines. Both of them have experienced frustration with the modern medical system, especially as it relates to the pandemic and the prevention of chronic disease.   We discuss the chaotic and confusing public health guidelines over the past 2 years as well as the importance of metabolic health on our immune health. Dr. Chris Dan exposes some of the biggest problems with the healthcare system and explains why he left the hospital.   Dr. Chris Dan is currently a family medicine board certified physician who worked as a full time Hospitalist in Los Angeles County for the past four years. He completed his undergraduate degree at UCI and studied medicine at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona. During his time as an inpatient physician, he saw the shortcomings of the current medical system in prevention of chronic disease and will be moving on to work outpatient with a focus on returning people to metabolic health.   Dr. Gary Shlifer is a board-certified internal medicine physician specializing in preventative care, nutrition/metabolism and anti-aging medicine. Dr. Gary brings his robust experienced with hospital inpatient medicine to his outpatient primary care practice in order to help prevent and cure disease in his patients. He is the founder of Evolve Healthcare in Los Angeles, a multi-specialty integrative medicine clinic focused on disease prevention and lifestyle optimization.     SHOW NOTES [7:20] Dr. Chris Dan's background [10:50] The problems with inpatient medicine [17:10] Why the medical system is a numbers game [23:10] Chaotic & confusing pandemic guidelines [27:10] Why generic drugs are discouraged [32:40] How COVID affected healthcare workers [39:40] The corporate & bureaucratic structure of healthcare [44:10 Healthcare doesn't make money on healthy people [49:40] The "diabetes diet" in hospitals [54:30] Why Dr. Chris Dan left the hospital [59:50] What's the biggest problem in healthcare?

Part 146 - How a Norwegian Farmer Changed the Mind of the World's Most Powerful Anti-Meat Activist

Part 146 - How a Norwegian Farmer Changed the Mind of the World's Most Powerful Anti-Meat Activist

Today's episode features a farmer from Norway named Raymund. Raymund is truly a hero because he hosted Dr. Gunhild A. Stordalen at his farm where he educated her on the benefits that animal agriculture can have on our ecosystem. Dr. Gunhild A. Stordalen is a very well known environmental activist and the founder of EAT which recommends a mere 14 grams of red meat per day as part of a "Planetary Health Diet."   As you'll learn in this episode, Raymund convinced her that meat and animal agriculture are a sustainable and essential part of our food system. Throughout this episode, we discuss many of the problems with our modern food system. In fact, Raymund runs a decentralized food system in Norway called REKO which connects farmers directly to customers. We are hoping to bring something similar to Texas and eventually all over the United States.   Learn more at https://www.sovereignhumans.org     SHOW NOTES: [6:15] How Raymund knows Gunhild Stordalen of EAT Lancet [10:30] Meat is required for a healthy diet and planet [15:00] What Raymund told Gunhild Stordalen [20:35] Problems with the Planetary Diet [26:40] How consumerism is wasteful [30:20] Why big corporations hate a decentralized food system [37:00] Our changing food & spending habits [40:00] The industrial farming of salmon [43:50] Why raising pigs is so difficult [47:00] How Raymond built a sustainable farm [53:30] Why you should spend more on food and less elsewhere [56:30] Everyone needs their own farmer, not their own doctor [1:01:20] How cities destroyed our food system [1:06:30] Our modern food system is a failed experiment [1:12:45] Vote with your dollar by eating local   GET THE MEAT! http://NosetoTail.org  GET THE FREE SAPIEN FOOD GUIDE! http://Sapien.org    Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg  http://instagram.com/food.lies  http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg
