Evolutionary Psychiatry

The&nbsp;overarching theory she explores is that our bodies and brains do best in conditions for which they are evolved.&nbsp; She digs up scientific information and presents it in that context.&nbsp;She feels that by studying evolutionary medicine, we come closer to the answers for optimal conditions for health and vitality. The dietary basics of evolutionary medicine are simple:&nbsp; don't eat very much fructose, omega-6 rich industrial vegetable oils, grains (such as wheat, rye, barley, spelt, quinoa, oats, corn, etc.), or processed "fake" food in general.&nbsp; Eat as much local, farmstand, grassfed, pastured, wild-caught as you care for.&nbsp; That's vegetables, meat, fish, nuts, eggs, and fruits.&nbsp;&nbsp;In her opinion, if you have no serious medical conditions, it's&nbsp;perfectly healthy&nbsp;to have&nbsp;high-fat dairy, safe starches such as white rice or potatoes, red wine, and&nbsp;dark chocolate in moderation.&nbsp; Also, get plenty of sleep and play.</p>
