Dr. Paul Clayton, PhD shares his unique and remarkable research into pre-industrialised societies and their relative freedom from disease including what this means for the current epidemic of chronic diseases today. He discusses important but overlooked and underappreciated changes in diet and lifestyle and their clinical implications as well as common mechanisms that could be targeted to reduce disease risk and improve health and function. Finally, he paints a picture of the future of the global food environment and nutrition-centric clinical medicine.
