#99 Exploring Human Biology and Dietary Evolution with Ricky Du Plessis

Health Wealth

In this enlightening episode of the Health Wealth podcast, host Ryan Douglas welcomes nutrition expert Ricky Du Plessis to delve into the fascinating topic of human biology and dietary evolution. Ricky and Ryan discuss how human biology has adapted to various diets over millennia, focusing on the significant role of fire and cooking in human evolution. They explore how the ability to cook food, which began around 250,000 years ago, not only made food more palatable but also allowed humans to overcome biological limitations, significantly impacting metabolic health. Ricky raises thought-provoking questions about the modern dietary shift towards plant-based diets and the implications of bypassing our biological adaptations, especially in light of the current metabolic health crisis.

The conversation transitions to the impact of cooking on nutritional value and digestibility, highlighting the complex balance between increased digestibility and potential nutrient loss. Ricky and Ryan compare the nutrient content of raw versus cooked foods, using eggs as a primary example. They also examine the agricultural revolution, which began about 12,000 years ago, and its profound effects on human diet and health. The duo discusses the domestication of wild plants, the challenges of extracting nutrition from plant-based diets, and the rise of gluten intolerance. With insights into the industrial revolution’s influence on food production and consumption, Ricky and Ryan underscore the importance of making informed dietary choices to maintain a healthy lifestyle, advocating for a return to nutrient-dense, natural foods. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersections of human evolution, nutrition, and health.
