106: Why Eating Like Your Grandparents Won't Save You

In this episode, I explore whether following an ancestral diet and traditional eating habits is enough to keep us healthy today. While our grandparents thrived on simple meals, the reality of modern food quality, hidden environmental toxins, and processed foods inflammation paint a different picture. I share how chronic stress and health challenges, along with changes like A1 vs A2 milk casein, affect our bodies in ways past generations didn't face. We'll look at why homesteading health problems persist despite "clean eating," and how a slow living lifestyle can help bridge the genetic mismatch modern diet creates. Tune in to uncover the real reasons why eating like your grandparents won't save you.
