At first glance, the concepts behind 'paleo' and 'Ayurveda' might seem completely at odds. Ayurveda is all about eating vegan and 'typing' and paleo is all about dogma and eating meat, right?

 

Not according to, Dr. Akil Palanisamy, a Harvard trained physician and author of the new book 'The Paleovedic Diet', one that draws from the strengths of each to create something unique. By personalizing paleo concepts by type and emphasizing vegetables in a paleo framework, you can get the best of both worlds.

 

This diet has been particularly successful for the treating of autoimmune disease which is a particular focus for Evolution of Medicine in 2016. Dr Palanisamy is also the host of an upcoming event on Evolutionary Medicine at UCSF with other EvoMed favorites like Chris Kresser. Check it out here!

 

What you will learn in this podcast:

• The rationale and proven success of the "Paleovedic Diet'
• How much more nutrient dense a wild apple is than a 'regular apple'
• What evolutionary medicine is and why it is important

We wanted to start 2016 with something equally motivating and valuable. Over the last year we have been tracking Dr. Sachin Patel's work at the Living Proof Institute. If you haven't started following him on Facebook, I highly recommend it. 

 

If you were watching the December Functional Forum you saw this wisdom from him, which is typical! 

 

 

In this week's podcast we hear from Dr Patel on a range of topics related to his upcoming book "The Motivation Molecule." Using the strategies you hear in today's podcast you can help even your most stubborn patients get motivated for a transformative 2016.
