Nora Gedgaudas is a world-renowned nutritionist, neurofeedback practitioner, educator and author. She runs a clinical practice in Portland, Oregon in the USA. She has an in-depth knowledge of nutrition and the intimate connection we have with our food and how it affects our mind and body.
Nora’s informative book, “Primal Body, Primal Mind”, gives insight into Nora’s approach to health and nutrition that goes beyond the Paleo Diet. It’s backed by some solid science lessons from the past, some thorough testing and clinical observations, and some common sense.
Practical Advice From Nora Gedgaudas
If we want to understand how to most optimally feed a human being, the most essential starting place is looking at the selective pressures that shaped our physiological makeup and our nutritional requirements in the first place.
Longevity research shows that a generalised calorie restriction significantly enhances health and lifespan.
The Primalgenic Dietary Approach
Nora prefers to use “primalgenic” to describe her approach to diet and nutrition. It is a very low carbohydrate approach that is moderate in protein.
The diet involves:
- Meeting your protein needs from animal source foods that are complete proteins.
- Eating as many fibrous vegetables and greens as you want.
- The majority of your calories come from a variety of healthy fat sources.
All food must come from sources that are of uncompromising quality. They must be organic, biodynamically grown, free-range and 100% grass-fed and finished meat. Anything else is health compromising (e.g. ultra processed foods).
