Summary

Dr. Anthony Gustin chats with Dr. Bill Schindler, an anthropologist, professor, chef of the Modern Stone Age Kitchen, and author of Eat Like a Human.

Dr. Schindler has dedicated his career to researching ancient humans and spending time with indigenous hunter-gatherer tribes to learn how to optimize our modern-day diets.

Even though our basic nutritional requirements have stayed the same for the last 3,000 years, we’ve lost our ability to eat instinctively and listen to our senses. Just think about it: we’re the only species on the planet that needs help learning what to eat, how much to eat, etc.

So Dr. Schindler shares his ideas about how to follow the instinctual practices our early ancestors used to extract the most nutrition from our diets and return to our natural states of health.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why we’re the only species that intellectualizes eating the right foods
What it means to be a fully-nourished human
How to approach vegetables in your diet with intention
Which foods Dr. Schindler completely removed from his diet to reverse damage and transform his life
What type of bread Dr. Schindler considers the “safest” to eat
The importance of eating animal fats and organ meats (in moderation)
How grocery stores and modern food manufacturing destroyed our natural food instincts
Why the emotional satisfaction, social connections, and cultural ties to our food are just as “nutritious” for our bodies as healthy foods

Tune in to tap into the science of our evolution through nutrition now!

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I am your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is
0:10.2	my belief that the natural state of penny living organisms' health and that our artificial
0:14.5	habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to
0:18.7	dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help
0:23.8	you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive

0:36.2	Super excited for today's podcast with Dr. Bill Schindler, who has a crazy background.
0:41.6	He is an anthropologist, archaeologist and chef and has taken a lot of the wisdom that
0:46.5	he's gotten from spending time with tons of different hunter gatherer tribes, indigenous
0:50.8	cultures all around the world and has let that sort of percolate into his mind and come
0:57.2	out of how we should be eating and how we can be eating and how we can use a lot of indigenous
1:02.4	practices to be extracting the most amount of nutrition from our food. He talks about
1:06.3	his health philosophies and then also just beyond food of how it's impacted him to be
1:11.9	with these cultures and how he's practicing with his own life. I had a bunch of experiences
1:16.2	podcast on obviously of staying with the hodestripe in Tanzania around how it's so much more
1:20.9	than just input output of food and way more of culture belonging and really what
1:27.2	makes a rich human experience. I think that we've lost a lot of that in our Western way
1:31.5	of living and it's so clear when you observe some of these indigenous cultures that they're
1:35.6	happiness, they're meaning their spirituality, they're belonging, they interact with each
1:39.1	other, their relational health, their emotional health, mental health. It's so drastically
1:42.7	superior to ours. Obviously we talk a lot about the physical health stuff but we get into
