One thing I’ve learned about diet from my experience, is cutting bad foods from your diet is much more effective than adding healthy foods. I used to eat terrible, but I would also add super-nutritious food during the day to try to balance it out. But I’ll tell you, nothing made a bigger impact on my health than cutting out the bad food and not even bothering with super nutrition. It’s simpler, the food tastes good and I’m healthier.

All modern med is ancestor to the alchemy of the past which is the roots of modern medicine. So many cultures over millennia made the meds or there time same as we do and They worked then and will also work now.So many things have been lost in the past or never documented only by word of mouth but our ancestors knew what they were doing even way back when ,we just forget.

[@foryourhealth2052]

"I got my coconut oil here, this is coconut oil" I thought you said mental clarity Laird

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Haha

[@viceb7]

Lol my thoughts too

[@kingofbratz3626]

FYI for those interested, chaga isn't just in the artic circle.

[@josephmoodie4970]

I never hear many talk of Chaga so it always interests me because here in Vermont I have made my living in winter doing Chaga and foraging in summer and spring for mushrooms of all kinds and picking fiddleheads,Ramps,leeks I was picking 100 pounds of Chaga every week then selling it to a mushroom guy. Stuff sells for $40 a pound dry so great money and truly there is nothing better For the body. We have a lot of yellow birch in Vermont over white birch which you would find more of in Maine. You can use chaga to make a basic tea that works great as an antioxidant but if you want to get the 200+ other good things in Chaga to work for your body you have to break it down with an alcohol solution and make a concentrate to eye drop into your drinks. Chaga grows any place on the tree so it can and often does grow 20,30,50 feet of the ground and you need tree climbing gear to get the stuff ,it’s hard work but a self created well paying job and it’s good for people so it feels good doing it. For an athlete there is not much better then Chaga. Only down side is it takes years to grow and I noticed I was whipping out spots completely of it then realized this and started leaving 10% to 20% of the Chaga mushroom behind that’s like soft rotted wood in texture or A kin to cork and if not careful you can totally annihilate Chaga form an entire state lake North Dakota did which now has no more Chaga because it’s been picked clean. Vermont is full Chaga and it would be hard for anyone to do it on the scale I was anywhere in the U.S unless your in Russia in the Vast woods of the Tiber which is loaded with Chaga and they have known about it for 1000 years. It only grows on a cold northern climate so Canada would have lots as well. It’s rare stuff and you can only harvest it in winter when all the good stuff is frozen and locked in it.

Gladiators lived on grains and the Roman army marched on grain. They were big and strong.

[@CagedPaps]

The Roman empire lost though, right? The Germanic king Odoacer's army largely credited with finishing off the Western Roman Empire did consume meat and dairy.

[@retribution999]

@@CagedPaps wrong

[@retribution999]

​@@CagedPapsHow do you think Rome expanded its empire so vastly unless it's army were strong and highly effective. Of course they didn't win every battle. All winners lose one day.

[@CagedPaps]

​@@retribution999 Well I just told you, when they tried to expand too far they were defeated. Never managed to take Scotland and built a wall to keep them out of England. And finally beaten by a force fueld by dairy and meat. Part of their demise was not being able to defend their large borders. If you want to know how they managed it you should read a book, they're famous for expanding their empire not through brute force but being well trained and using numbers. You must have heard of their engineering, the road systems? They had a professional army, made famous by their tactics such as the testudo formation - (the tortoise formation, that's where it comes from). The fortified camps (castra). Siege engines. You've probably heard the phrase 'divide and conquer'? - Very popular with the Romans, what better way than have your enemy defeat itself. You can go on and on. But, maybe you're right, maybe it was because they ate grain and they lost it all and defeated because they were too big and strong. Though some food for thought, we know they weren't particularly big due to skeletons, the average was 5'6". We know they were a professional army so trained, did drills, long marches. We also know they ate meat when available and drank wine. But again, maybe you're right, maybe the big soldiers you speak of have just never been found. They also struggled with famine at times, this grain you speak of they'd at times rely on Egytpt and North African imports.

[@matisyahup613]

I have been into all types of diets and exercise programs over the years, but this has been my final destination. Good health is a balance of calories ingested to calories expended. Feeding your body only what it needs to survive is the key. If you exercise often, you eat more, if not you eat less. The body has a natural wisdom to heal itself and run efficiently, and putting as little stress as possible on the digestive system allows this to happen. When I do eat, I follow a lot of what Laird does. I never use dairy, and white sugar and flour to a minimum. The main staple of my diet is fatty fish like sardines, oils like olive and avocado, and I juice celery and carrots for vegetable nutrients. Something he did not mention here is organic, I almost never eat anything that is not organic. Stay far away from all processed foods like those egos in his freezer.

@3RD Werks Well, most people like chiros that claim AF is real are really describing HPA Axis dysfunction. You can eat proper and still have this. In my case I was taking too many stimulants for too wrong. I'm sure excessive stress, poor sleep, and other variables can cause this too.

I’m an athlete, I drink coffee, and I have adrenal fatigue. I should not be having coffee because it definitely makes it worse.

@@ArizonaMMJ he claims your brain uses fat for energy, which is not true. Your brain can use ketone bodies, but glucose is a FAR preferred energy substrate. If you are ketogenic, your body will need to break down muscle protein stores in order to derive substrates for gluconeogenesis, so you can maintain stable blood glucose levels. He's not wrong that the ketogenic diet elicits more of a stable mood state because the fluctuations in blood glucose are less severe than on a high carb diet, but he is absolutely using bro-science to try to explain why it's beneficial.
