Is “Ancestral Eating” Just a Modern Myth? – TFP #008 | Alex Leaf

Is “Ancestral Eating” Just a Modern Myth? – TFP #008 | Alex Leaf

Can we really justify what we eat today by pointing to what our ancestors ate thousands of years ago? In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Alex Leaf, a scientific communicator and longtime researcher with Examine.com, to challenge some of the most persistent ideas in nutrition.We dive deep into the ancestral argument, the role of mTOR and protein in longevity, and the personal fat threshold hypothesis that could redefine how we view metabolic health and type 2 diabetes. From wrestling-induced bulimia to modern agriculture’s double-edged legacy, Alex brings a refreshingly perspective to some of the most polarizing conversations in nutrition.🔗
