Summary

Do you know what species of grass you have in your backyard? Chances are, you don’t. In this episode of The Align podcast, David Vitalis and I chat about our loss of connection with nature. Many of us live a life where we can’t identify the animals in our backyard or the herbs that grow in our local forests, which are things hunters and gatherers used to be able to do. We unravel the implication such a change may have on our evolution as a species. We also chat about how our ancestors created communities and tribes that are different from the ones we create today. David Vitalis is a Registered Maine Guide, writer, public speaker, interviewer, and lifestyle pioneer who’s especially interested in helping people reconnect with wildness, both inside and outside of themselves. After learning to hunt, fish, and forage as an adult, Daniel created WildFed to inspire others to start a wild-food journey of their own. What we discuss: 02:19: Why is the overall health of our population in constant decline despite medical and scientific advancements in health care? 05:10: Is it really possible to feed the masses without industrialized farms? 23:53: Did we make technology or did technology make us? 42:00: Is the hunter-gather theory over-romanticized? 47:53: The truth about communities and tribes 01:04:00: What does the Bible really say about God?
