Eating the Way We Were Designed: What Kosher Wisdom Still Teaches Us explores how ancient food practices continue to offer surprisingly relevant insight for modern health. Rather than approaching kosher eating as a religious obligation, this episode reframes it as a system of practical wisdom developed in a world where food safety, digestion, and long-term health were matters of survival. By looking at history, biology, and modern health research together, the episode reveals how ancient cultures identified patterns that supported human well-being long before modern science could explain them.Throughout the conversation, we examine why certain animals were traditionally avoided, how food handling and preparation became central to health, and why systems like kosher certification are still respected today—even by secular food companies. Drawing from insights by Jordan Rubin, Dr. Josh Axe, Dr. Eric Berg, and other natural health voices, the episode connects ancient discernment with modern concerns like inflammation, toxins, digestion, and chronic disease.Ultimately, this episode isn’t about rules or restriction—it’s about freedom through understanding. It invites listeners to move beyond trend-based nutrition and toward thoughtful, design-aware eating that supports real life, real bodies, and long-term health. By recovering ancient wisdom and applying it with modern clarity, Chasing Eden encourages a calmer, wiser, and more sustainable approach to food.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
