The Perfect Health Diet
Click this image to purchase the book
Dr. Paul Jaminet is a scientist with a Ph.D. in physics, University of California at Berkeley, 1992; Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 1992-1996, turned Internet entrepreneur and executive, turned strategy consultant and economist.
Dr. Jaminet and his wife have had a longstanding interest in diet and health after suffering from their own chronic health problems and moving away from their respective industries they joined together and co-authored their book “The Perfect Health Diet”. After experimenting with low-carb Paleo diets in 2005, they spent seven years refining them, and have successfully healed their own “middle-age” and chronic health problems through diet, learning a great deal about the benefits – and pitfalls – of these diets.
From Dr. Jaminet’s Website:
-
Disease, premature aging, and impaired health have four primary causes: malnutrition, food toxicity, evolutionarily discordant lifestyles, and chronic infections by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
-
These causes go together. People who eat toxic, nutrient-poor diets are more likely to contract chronic infections and do not easily recover from them.
-
Yet the body has amazing powers of recovery. On a healthy diet, the immune system can tackle and defeat most infections, especially with the aid of antimicrobial drugs.
-
A diet like the Perfect Health Diet should be the first treatment option in most diseases and an adjunct to therapy in all.
This was an interesting interview where we cover the various impacts of evolutionary biology, diet, health, nutrition and their respective roles in our everyday lives. We covered dietary supplements, which vitamins that may or may not be best for you, circadian rhythms and some very informing ideas on intermittent fasting, when and when not to eat and some common misconceptions about diet.

Nice interview. Hopefully some of your listeners will pick up a copy of the book and read it. Like everything in life worth undertaking, this will take some effort (reading and following the Perfect Health Diet). No shortcuts, no magic bullets, just good science, well-reserached. And the best advice on how to get/stay healthy available anywhere.
Thanks Peggy! Appreciate the feedback 🙂
I could not listen to the whole thing, as soon as it got to the point where he said i put my dinner in the microwave I thought WHAT so perhaps another 5 years research is in order. Something fundamentally wrong with this guy preaching diet and them using the word microwave with regards to his own diet????
