Ancestral Diet | Episode 10: Food Farmacy Show

In her book, ‘Fortify Your Life’, Tieraona Low Dog makes a shocking prediction. She says that for the first time in history, parents will outlive their children. This is not a one-off view but expert consensus.

The reason? Well, it has a lot to do with modern diets and its limitations.

In this video, we talk about the massive variety of foods that our ancestors ate and how we eat just a fraction of that. Our ancestral diet was predominantly plant-based and contained as much as 1000-1500 varieties of food. Compare it to our modern diets where an average person has access to just 18-20 varieties!

Our certified NTP, Sarah Sloan has some insightful recommendations on how to include more diverse foods into your diet. She highlights the importance of sourcing local food and “eating a rainbow”.

This episode is packed with great nutritional knowledge and how initiatives like Local Food Direct are helping people go organic.
