Seasonal Eating and the Forgotten Wisdom of Ancestral Nutrition | Ep. 422
About this episode
The episode explores the benefits of seasonal eating and ancestral nutrition, discussing how modern diets disconnect us from natural eating patterns.
Modern food culture gives us access to almost anything at any time of year. But just because we can eat strawberries in winter or ultra-processed foods every season does not mean our biology evolved for it. Building off a recent conversation with Dr. John Douillard (Episode 403) that include the benefits of seasonal eating and a previous Episode 404 on organ meats as a “multivitamin for carnivores,” Dr. Jeff Armstrong and cohost Corbin Bruton explore the forgotten wisdom of ancestral nutrition. Together, they discuss how humans historically ate according to seasonal rhythms, local environments, and periods of abundance and scarcity — and how the Standard American Diet has largely disconnected us from those natural patterns. The conversation examines how seasonal eating may influence metabolism, inflammation, gut health, circadian biology, and longevity while also exploring practical ways modern people can reconnect with more natural and nutrient-dense approaches to food.
