Why are we here
Civilization is making us sick. Over 95% of Americans struggle with serious health issues while following government guidelines, medical advice, and social norms. Obesity and chronic illness are symptoms of a broken system.
To reclaim your health, you need to reject the rules that are failing us.
Uncivilized is a rebellion against the status quo—a journey back to the habits and instincts that made us healthy in the first place.
It's time to question everything, shed the sickness of modern life, and take back control.
Get ready to become Uncivilized.
Things to expect
I've looked into just about every diet imaginable - keto, paleo, carnivore, vegan, vegetarian, potato diet, rice diet, only eating things that are white, only eating things that are colorful, eating massive salads, fasting, taking nicotine, using GLP-1 drugs, gastric bypass, the croissant diet, microbiome diets, seed oils!
If there’s a book about it, a blog about it, or a study about it, I have probably read it, digested it, and put it in the context of the rest of the information that I know from everything else I’ve read and tried to form an opinion or an experiment around it.
This has primarily been happening in my brain. It is time to get it into writing and share it with the world.
What I have found from several years of research, reading, and exploration is this: every individual person is uniquely sick.
If you are reading this right now and you think that you might have some underlying issue which usually shows up as fat gain or obesity but isn't necessarily just a fat gain or obesity problem, here's what we can say.
You have a very unique set of circumstances which have led you to this point.
Whether that is the history of antibiotic use, the metal fillings that you have in your mouth, the foods that you used to eat, the environment that you grew up in, how much radiation you've been exposed to, your genetics or your epigenetics - all of these things have culminated to you as an individual in your unique position today.
Uncivilized is a commitment to experimentation and exploration on what some of the primary drivers are for you and how to undo them.
Expect book reviews, exploratory conversations, new hypotheses and a better life.
