We Love Paleo Page #3

"and you're currently

going to the gym,

"so there's nothing else

you can do.

"You're kind of

doing the right things.

"You're not a drinker.

You don't smoke.

Everything is fine.

"It's just about

your genetic heritage

and the fact you're getting

a little bit older."

I didn't accept that,

really because I was scared

of taking those medications,

especially in the long term.

[Man] I've been practicing

as a doctor for about 25 years.

Most of my patients come

with what we would call chronic

or sort of

long-standing health issues.

Some of the problems

might be things like

irritable bowel syndrome,

diabetes, headaches, migraine,

general fatigue.

Usually, the individual

has either not had

a good experience

with conventional medicine

or conventional approaches,

and/or there really isn't

very much

the conventional approaches

can offer that person.

But this is

what's happening to people.

They're being told,

"Just accept it.

"Here you go.

Here's your diagnosis.

"I'm sorry.

This is the pill. Take it.

I'm sorry. You don't get

any other choices."

There's a reason why...

conventional wisdom says,

"Do this."

Everybody does it,

and it ends up all crappy.

Well, I used to work

in a hospital.

And I became...

Once I learned about Paleo

and the benefits,

I became so frustrated

at the amount of drugs that

were being pumped into people

for stuff that could be solved

with a good diet

and some exercise.

Wisdom is just such a... Ugh!

It's such an oxymoron.

When we use

the word "conventional wisdom,"

it seems like forever,

but it's actually

maybe five years old,

or 10 years old,

or 20 years old.

It mortifies me sometimes

to think

of the numbers of people

that are sick

because they've been lied to.

[John] When people take

conventional nutritional advice,

as we generally have been

for the last 30 or 40 years,

to eat less fat and

more carbohydrate-rich foods,

including starchy carbohydrates,

this isn't good for health.

It damages health.

People underestimate

how powerful taking charge

of their diet can be.

We are just taught

to walk into a grocery store,

and if it's in a box,

it's in there, it's good for us.

We can consume it.

It's safe

for human consumption, right?

But the fact of the matter is

when you approach food

without any of that awareness,

you're not tapped in at all

to what your body needs,

what it needs

to function and thrive.

What you put into your body,

that's your fuel.

If you're not fueling

your body right,

it'll break down at some point,

you know?

[Cain]

This grain, you know, diet

pure-bred thing

is pushed on people

from, like, grade school.

It's like

that's all people know.
