Imagine you are eating a slice of cake that is perfectly moist, the sweetness a delicate blending with the richness of the cream and eggs gathered on a farm. Is there any wonder the cake is this perfect – the recipe is the exact same one past down for hundreds of years. What if a crucial step or ingredient was forgotten? Perhaps the cake was baked at the wrong temperature, burning the outside and leaving the interior undercooked. Or the butter was replaced with Crisco. How would the cake taste then? Now, most cakes come from a Betty Crocket box or is a pre-made Sara Lee frozen cake from the supermarket. How can we expect the cake to taste as good as the one using the recipe that was perfected a long time ago?
What does this artisan cake and your health have in common? We often forget that we are organisms; living, breathing mammals that require a certain recipe to obtain optimal health. Long ago, our ancestors knew how to take care of their bodies. They didn’t need this diet, those bio-hacks, that supplement, or some other protocol. They simply knew the recipe that was derived directly from our environment. Today, the recipe for optimal health tries to take short-cuts and produce miraculous quick fixes. We can even convince ourselves that this “modern” cake tastes just as good as the artisan cake, just as we can convince ourselves that the short cuts and quick fixes make us feel better. But this is not the recipe for resounding, balanced health because most of us have never tasted the artisan cake or known what it feels like to have vibrant health.
Primordial Pulse is the recipe for the most delicious cake ever made.
