How deep is the connection between oral and systemic health? Joined today by the engaging Dr. Ryan Nolan, DMD, we discuss biofilms, the oral microbiome, and a whole bunch of stuff about oral health we bet you don't know (or at least we didn't). Dr. Ryan also humours our very ND-like questions on the use of flouride, mercury amalgams, and root canals. This one is definitely worth checking out.

The Paleo Diet AKA: Hungry Like The Wolf - Episode #339 Nov 20, 2018

Show notes

The Paleolithic diet claims that we should all eat like cavemen. Or, more accurately, that we are better suited to eat like our hunter-gatherer ancestors and if we do, we can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases..
So should we all eat more goat haunch and earthy tubers? And even if we no longer gather and hunt our meals, how does the Paleo diet stack up against modern diets we know provide weight loss and health benefits? Mike and Chris get neanderthal and club out the facts in today's meaty episode.
