Do you want your research here? Give me a shout and I’ll take a gander!
Concepts in the Wild Diet system are tough to swallow; they fly in the face of what you’re used to hearing from “conventional wisdom.” But I’m a research fiend, and what I found changed my life, my health, and made me want to share it with you.
Here are a few of the articles, research papers and books that changed my point of view. Feel free to chew on them…
