You Plow Reflections On The 2013 Ancestral Wellness Symposium

I simply returned from the 2013 Ancestral Health Symposium inwards Atlanta.  Despite a few challenges amongst the audio/visual setup, I intend it went well.

I arrived on Th evening, together with then I missed a few talks that would get got been interesting to attend, yesteryear Mel Konner, Nassim Taleb, Gad Saad, together with Hamilton Stapell.  Dr. Konner is ane of the progenitors of the modern Paleo movement.  Dr. Saad does interesting piece of work on consummatory behavior, reward, together with its possible evolutionary basis.  Dr. Stapell is a historian amongst an involvement inwards the modern Paleo movement.  He got closed to rut for suggesting that the crusade is unlikely to move really mainstream, which I handgrip with.  I had the chance to pass quite a fighting of fourth dimension amongst him together with flora him to last an interesting person.

On Friday, Chris Kresser gave a dainty verbalize well-nigh the potential hidden costs of eradicating our intestinal parasites together with inadvertently altering our gut flora.  Unfortunately it was concurrent amongst Chris Masterjohn then I'll get got to scout his verbalize on fat-soluble vitamins when it's posted.  I spent most of the residuum of the solar daytime practicing my talk.

On Sabbatum morning, I gave my verbalize "Insulin together with Obesity: Reconciling Conflicting Evidence".  I intend it went well, together with the feedback overall was real positive, both on the content together with the delivery.  The conference is fairly low-carb-centric together with I know closed to people disagree amongst my perspective on insulin, together with that's OK.   The-question-and-answer session afterward the verbalize was also productive, amongst closed to comments/questions from Andreas Eenfeldt together with others.  With the completion of this talk, I've addressed the topic to my satisfaction together with I don't await to pass much to a greater extent than fourth dimension on it unless of import novel information emerge.  The verbalize volition last freely available online at closed to point, together with I await it to move a valuable resources for people who desire to larn to a greater extent than well-nigh the human relationship betwixt insulin together with obesity.  It should last accessible to anyone amongst a niggling fighting of background inwards the subject, but it volition also last informative to most researchers.

After my talk, I attended several other goodness presentations.  Dan Pardi gave a dainty verbalize on the importance of slumber together with the circadian rhythm, how it works, how the modern globe disrupts it, together with how to fix it.  The human relationship betwixt slumber together with wellness is a real hot surface area of enquiry correct now, it fits seamlessly amongst the evolutionary perspective, together with Pardi showed off his high bird of expertise inwards the subject.  He included the results of an interesting slumber written report he conducted every bit run of his doctoral piece of work at Stanford, showing that slumber restriction makes us to a greater extent than probable to select foods nosotros perceive every bit unhealthy.

Sleep together with the circadian musical rhythm was a recurrent theme at AHS13.  A lot of interesting enquiry is emerging on sleep, trunk weight, together with health, together with the ancestral community has been quick to comprehend this enquiry together with integrate it into the ancestral wellness template.  I intend it's a big slice of the puzzle.

Jeff Rothschild gave a dainty summary of the enquiry on time-restricted feeding, trunk weight together with wellness inwards creature models together with humans.  Research inwards this surface area is expanding together with the results are pretty interesting, suggesting that when you lot restrain a rodent's feeding window to the fourth dimension of solar daytime when it would naturally eat nutrient (rather than giving constant access during both solar daytime together with night), it becomes to a greater extent than resistant to obesity fifty-fifty when exposed to a fattening diet.  Rothschild tied this concept together amongst circadian rule inwards a compelling way.  Since nutrient is ane of the stimuli that sets the circadian clock, Rothschild proposes to eat when the Sun is up, together with non when it's down, synchronizing eating conduct amongst the natural seasonal lite rhythm.  I intend it's a bully idea, although it wouldn't last practical for me to implement it currently.  Maybe someday if I get got a to a greater extent than flexible schedule.  Rothschild is well-nigh to pose out a review newspaper on this topic every bit run of his master's score training, then move along your eyes peeled.

Kevin Boyd gave a real compelling verbalize well-nigh malocclusion (underdeveloped jaws together with crowded teeth) together with breathing problems, specially those occurring during sleep.  Malocclusion is a modern epidemic amongst major wellness implications, every bit Dr. Boyd showed yesteryear his analysis of ancient vs. modern skulls.  The differences inwards palate evolution betwixt our recent ancestors (less than 200 years ago) together with modern humans are consistent together with striking, every bit Weston Price also noted a century ago.  Dr. Boyd believes that changing babe feeding practices (primarily the replacement of thorax feeding amongst bottle feeding) is the principal responsible factor, due to the different mechanical stimulation it provides, together with he's proposing to exam that hypothesis using the tools of modern research.  He's presented his enquiry at prestigious organizations together with inwards high-impact scientific journals, then I intend this thought may actually last gaining traction.  Very exciting.

I was honored when Dr. Boyd told me that my 9-part serial on malocclusion is what got him interested inwards this work (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).  His enquiry has of course of teaching taken it farther than I did, together with every bit a dentist his agreement of malocclusion is deeper than mine.  He's a middle-aged human being who is going dorsum to schoolhouse to do this research, together with his enthusiasm is palpable.  Robert Corruccini, a lineament anthropology researcher together with notable proponent of the thought that malocclusion is a "disease of civilization" together with non purely inherited, is ane of his advisers.

There were a issue of first-class talks, together with others that didn't encounter my standards for information quality.  Overall, an interesting conference amongst seemingly less drama than inwards previous years.
