I’ve written 3 posts about eating in the past 3 months.
No, it’s not because I love eating ice cream, nachos, cheeseburgers, and cake.
Yes, I do love those things (and I continue to eat them on occasions sprinkled into my life).
But really, I’m writing these posts because people in my life are eating differently.
And their lives are changing because of it.
The Human Diet
As a health nut, I’ve experimented with several ways of eating. I have friends who swear by veganism. I’ve seen the raw diet cure diabetes. People attempt Atkins, Slow-Carb, No Carb, High Protein, yada-yada-yada.
Then I discovered the Paleo-diet, or what I like to call “The Human Diet.”
Dogs eat dog food. Fish eat fish food. Humans eat human food.
Makes sense, doesn’t it?
Finally, my life got easier.
Yes, my symptoms of stomach discomfort, bloating, chronic stuffy nose, depression, mental fog, and body composition all improved.
No, this isn’t what made it easy.
My life got easier because I had discovered a way of eating that wasn’t just based on an individual’s advice. It just sounded right.
You see, the Paleo-diet is based on eating what our paleolithic ancestors ate before agriculture began 10,000 years ago.
As hunters and gatherers, we hunted animals and gatherered fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.
There were no twinkie trees. Having not domesticated cows yet, we were unable to milk wild post-partum cows. We were also unable to cook the raw, unedible grains found in nature.
Who knew? Eating the way that my genes had involved to eat resulted in my body expressing health, not symptoms and disease.
In my chiropractic practice, I don’t push the way of eating. I do hint at it if I notice even a slight desire for greater health.
In the past few months, I’ve had more and more individuals eating “The Human Diet” and getting hooked! For nearly any symptom or sign of disease you can imagine, the diet seems to help!
Whether you want to look more handsome or beautiful, have nicer skin or hair, have more muscle, less fat, and less bloating, rid yourself of symptoms of asthma, allergies, constipation, or just reduce your risk of inflammatory diseases such as heart disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, “The Human Diet” works.
Look …
I am deeply satisfied when I’m able to help someone’s life. It inspires me and brings me purpose to my life.
You don’t have to believe me. You don’t have to be ready to change your lifestyle. You don’t have to do anything … yet.
But remember, when you’re ready to get healthier for the purpose of living a more fulfilling, happier life, you can have it.
And only action will let that happen.
Robb Wolf is one of the pre-eminent experts on the Paleo-diet.
I have 3 copies of his book, The Paleo Solution, in my practice that I circulate to patients when they’re ready to make a move.
Here is a guide I’ve assembled to help with the transition.
Don’t take my word for it about the Paleo-diet. But damn, the results speak for themselves.
And don’t hesitate to ask me to help coach you through it. As I said, it would make me happy.
How might your health improve if you try eating like a human?
Excellent article! My family leans more Paleo than anything. Actually, my husband calls himself a meatatarian! Ha Ha! Anyway, it seems to me that this is a way of eating that just makes sense.

As a vegetarian with Meaning Of Life website couldn’t help but to find this post interesting. It makes sense and most of us would like a more fulfilling life. I know I feel better following a diet like this and it gives you a chance to focus on the things you really want to, instead of health problems. Thanks for the good advice and keep blogging.

I appreciate you Albert. Some day in the future, I want to pursue a vegetarian diet. I only need to figure out logistics.

I think those of us who try to eat healthy food, by default gravitate to something like Paleo. I don’t think I could be a committed Paleo diet follower, but some of the principles do seem intuitively right.

Hi Fiona,
We all take what works, and leave what doesn’t. Whatever you nature wants, that’s the path you are probably walking. : )
