The Origin of the Paleo Diet

In this interview, Dr. Michael Eades and Dr. Katina Thornton discuss the origin of the Paleo diet and how low-carb eating can have a quick and positive impact on a person's health. 

Eades, a bestselling author and full-time doctor with expertise in nutrition and metabolic medicine, has focused his recent research on what paleopathology can tell us about diet and health. Skeletal remains teach us much about how dietary changes can support or compromise human health. For example, comparing the remains of hunter-gatherers with agriculturists reveals humans' switch to an agricultural means of subsistence corresponded with increased disease risk. One large group of agriculturalists that has been studied extensively — the ancient Egyptians — provides an important data source showing the detrimental effects of a grain-based diet. This evidence has been used to support a return to a grain-free dietary regimen such as the Paleolithic diet, which includes meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds.
