Abstract
Understanding why modern diets argue with human biology is one thing. Acting on it — in a real kitchen, across a real week, with the grains and oils and cooking methods actually to hand — is another.
Part I laid out the mismatch between deep-time physiology and the contemporary plate. Part II stays with the evolutionary frame and turns it towards practice: the link between gut health, dietary fibre and systemic immunity, and the practical protocols for neutralising plant anti-nutrients, avoiding thermal damage from cooking methods, and identifying modern food-processing toxins.
The session covers:
- Gut microbiome and immunity — the link between internal gut health, dietary fibre and systemic immunity.
- Neutralising plant anti-nutrients — the soaking, sprouting and fermentation protocols that make plant foods fully available to the body.
- Thermal damage and cooking method — which techniques preserve nutrition and which quietly destroy it.
- Identifying food-processing toxins — reading the modern food supply for what industrial processing introduces.
- Putting the framework to work — translating the evolutionary perspective into everyday choices across grains, oils, portions and life stages.
The emphasis throughout is on shifting the locus of control inward — engaging with the natural intelligence of the human body in service of preventive and promotive health.
