Today’s lifestyles often lead us to compromise on one or more of these essential functions. Unlike our ancestors, we consume a processed industrialized diet, lead a sedentary lifestyle, fail to get the required number of hours of sleep to detoxify our bodies, and are often unhappy and stressed. You may not anticipate it, but these lifestyle choices have a significant impact on our health and eventually lead to a host of metabolic diseases.

Now, more than ever before, we are plagued by a variety of chronic metabolic diseases such as arthritis, bone loss, dementia, heart disease, hypertension, obesity, and type II diabetes. The main question here is why? If you examine disease patterns among the earliest humans, present day hunter-gatherer-foragers, and blue zone populations, you will find that such diseases were, and still are, a rare occurrence among these populations.
