Although raw milk consumption is still contested, this nutrient-dense food has been a part of our human story since the Neolithic Revolution, and it continues to be a vital food source for many cultures around the world (such as the Maasai nation). Along with providing healthy fats and digestive enzymes, raw, grass-fed milk also contains high levels of tryptophan, which is required for production of melatonin (our sleep-regulation hormone).

Fennel and Orange Braised Beef Shank
One of the foundations of classical French cooking, braising has been in use for over 300,000 years as a method of preparing meat. This ancient cooking technique was a crucial evolutionary shift for humankind, making the tough connective tissues of slaughtered animals more digestible.
In the modern-day kitchen, braising continues to be a tried-and-true method of enhancing flavors and also was used heavily during the 20th century for more “economical” cuts of meat, such as beef shank. Grass-fed beef shank provides a healthy dose of type 1 collagen (the most common type of collagen), which has been found to significantly improve joint stiffness and osteoarthritis symptoms.

For thousands of years, Indigenous cultures, like the Inuit, who prized muktuk (whale blubber) and the Great Plains Nations (who preferred older game, due to higher fat content), have depended on these nutrient-dense, animal foods for daily sustenance and survival. As Dr. Weston A. Price discovered during his 50k mile global trek, tooth decay and other health conditions, like cardiovascular disease, was rare in traditional cultures that consumed large amounts of saturated fat, game and seafood.
Today, though the saturated fat debate continues, new research has begun to question the strict mindset around consuming saturated fats (originally inspired by Ancel Keys’ famous study), with many scientists arguing that global dietary recommendations need to be revisited.

Depended upon by many of the Indigenous Peoples studied by Dr. Weston A. Price during his travels, salmon has played a key role in shaping many First Nations, such as the Inuit, who survived exclusively on wild game and seafood. Considered to be one of the most nutrient-dense foods available, salmon is particularly high in selenium, an essential mineral for optimal thyroid health.
