Why Modern Diets Make Us Sick: What Hunter-Gatherers Got Right

We all want to sleep better, think better, and feel better. And when those three things line up, life flows. But here’s the question: why do people keep talking about the hunter-gatherer era when it comes to diet and nutrition? Why bother mimicking an old-school eating style from thousands of years ago?

Because back then, on a natural, fresh, unprocessed diet, humans made the biggest leap forward in history, not just physically, but emotionally and cognitively too. Our ancestors were incredibly strong. They walked miles for berries, chased rabbits all day, and endured harsh weather, predators, and natural disasters. And despite all that stress, they thrived. Their bodies were lean, their minds sharp, and their resilience unmatched.

Fast forward to the last 60 years, which is nothing but a blink in human history and things look very different. We’re glued to sofas, struggling to get out of bed, battling autoimmune diseases, weight gain, brain fog, and low mood.

What changed? Our food.

Heavily processed, high-carb, sugar-loaded modern meals replaced the natural balance we evolved with. Instead of simple, whole foods like vegetables, fruits, fish, eggs, and small animals, we now rely on factory-made convenience. Our ancestors ate what was seasonal and real what we’d call today a keto-style diet. And it worked.

That’s why I always remind you: it’s not about perfection. It’s about getting closer to the way we were designed to eat. Every small step toward real, whole, unprocessed food makes a difference for your energy, mood, and long-term health.

One last little tip, before meals, try our apple cider vinegar capsules. They’ve been shown to reduce insulin spikes by almost 30%, which means steadier energy, fewer cravings, and better fat metabolism.

Here’s to eating with nature, not against it.
