What if Human Beings are the descendants of scavenging primates that learned to swim?

A strange question for sure. This question and the perspective it brings to light offers a unique opportunity to people living today. Especially those who need to re-frame their lives in order to improve their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.

What if 80% of your opportunities to improve your health happen below the part of your mind that talks. What if simply focusing on the needs of a primate, or a pre-language primitive person could help you improve your health, your sleep and your relationships.

In this episode, Anthony Sanna interviews Dr. Michael Smith about the five Primal needs of our species, which turn out to be the needs of all of our primitive and primate ancestors.

This is going to be a classic.

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves in situations that have high consequences. Getting into a fight is an obvious one, but so is chronic illness, obesity, depression, anxiety and insomnia. The list could go on. There are certain core principles in Martial Arts that have nothing to do with punching and kicking. These principles apply to any high consequence situation and prepare a person for the greatest challenges they may ever face in their lives. In this episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Dr. Michael Smith about how these principles apply to facing chronic illness with courage, resolve and adaptability.

In this episode, Anthony Sanna interviews Dr. Michael Smith about the 3 healthiest ways of eating on earth.

There are three distinct and potently healthy diets that have literally shaped us as a species. Before industrial society came into being, most of our ancestors were living as homesteaders. This way of eating was relatively nutrient dense and was inherently self-balancing with respect to the consumption of grains cooked in fat, dairy products and lacto-fermented foods.

Before the advent of agriculture, all of our ancestors were hunters, gatherers and/or scavengers. This “paleolithic” way of eating is profoundly nutrient dense and focuses on a diet of plants, protein and fat.

If you go back far enough into our evolutionary past, to discuss the diet of our early primate ancestors who were forced by severe Ice Ages to the ocean, near the equator, to subsist on a lot of fish, fowl, eggs, sea vegetables and plants. This profound change in diet and food gathering perfectly explains our evolution from primates to human beings.
