Ancestral Health: 10 Ways To Optimize Health Through Ancestral Wisdom

Ancestral health is not about romanticizing the caveman.

We've come a long way from our humble beginnings - there's no need to regress.

Instead, the ancestral health movement is about seeking progress through re-evaluating our current relationships with our food, our land, technology, and our communities.

Here's an up close look at how these relationships are impacting our health along with 10 (or more) ways we can increase our energy, happiness, performance and longevity by channeling ancestral techniques to re-evaluate the way we interact with our world.

Meet James Broderick, the Hairless Ape and Ancestral Health Leader

Why do we need to embrace this ancestral health movement - or at the very least, inject our own lives with some ancestral wisdom?

The short answer: humans are maladapted to modern living.

So James Broderick "rehabilitates domesticated humans so that they may safely and consciously re-enter the wild."

James admits this is a bit "tongue-in-cheek".

But the facts back up James's position.

Obesity rates are soaring. Anti-depressants are downed like Skittles. (By the way, when did downing Skittles become normal or healthy?)

We move less than we ever have before, we spend more time indoors than ever before, we have access to food like never before...and the simple fact is, our biology does not change as quickly as technology and science have changed our lifestyles.

So yes, humans are adapted for a lifestyle that is a bit more wild and ancestral than the one most of us are living today.

James shares his wisdom and gives us 10 ways to improve our health through ancestral wisdom on this episode of the OPP.
