The 2 Profs on what animals can teach us about eating Sep 09, 2022

Show notes

How is it that a baboon, a cat and a locust instinctively know what to eat for balanced nutrition, and we humans can't seem to figure it out?

In this episode, I dig into this with 2 very interesting Professors. David Raubenheimer and Stephen J. Simpson have been studying appetite in animals, transforming the science of nutrition with their findings. As well as giving us a very interesting summation of the science of appetite, they explain simple steps you can take towards eating a more natural diet for optimal health and a longer life.

Check out their book, Eat Like The Animals.
