So we know that as westernized Americans, even though our average life expectancy may be 76, 77, I forget where exactly it is, many of us suffer with limitations in our quality of life from 30 to 40 years old till the end of our life. And Western medicine can keep us alive, but how vital are we? What is our health span?

How many 60-year-olds out there who can run five miles or 10 miles or climb a tree hand over hand with the balance needed to do that or have strong enough grip strength to hang on a tree branch and do an actual pull-up or can pull a bow back. And the Hadza make the bows themselves, right? Who could pull a bow back with their shoulder muscles and their back muscles, right?

Who have the vision to see animals in nature. Like they don't have macular degeneration. So these hunter-gatherer tribes do not suffer chronic disease. And that discordance is something that was never taught to me in medical school, but it's so fascinating, right? What are they doing differently than us that allows them to live so well while they're alive.

Because most of us want to live long, but we also want to live well. We don't want to have back pain or shoulder pain that limit us from picking up our children or our grandchildren. I want to be able to surf until I'm 80, 90 years old. It's my favorite thing to do in the world. It's so much fun, right? This is what we want. Hunter-gatherers have it. We really don't as Westernized Americans.

And that statistic around life expectancy is skewed by higher rates of it's dangerous to be a human in the wild type of things.

But that's a great question.

Processed meat is not the same as a steak. I'm a huge fan of single ingredient foods. So it's meat, right? It's a steak. It's a New York steak, right? It's ground beef. There are no additives. There are no preservatives. There's no food dyes. So single ingredient foods. It's a chicken breast, right? It's eggs.

I think that that is one of the greatest and most powerful metrics that you can use to easily make food choices that will increase your health. So this is a really astute question because you go to a grocery store and you think, I can buy ground hamburger or I can buy a hot dog.
