The Primal Shift79: Immune Health Hacks: Vitamin C Exposed!Is Vitamin C really the immune-boosting miracle it’s often claimed to be? In this episode of the Primal Shift podcast, we explore whether it’s overhyped and ineffective, or something you should actually consider adding to your supplement stack. While this powerful antioxidant is crucial for your body’s defenses and supports collagen production, skin health and cellular repair, its effectiveness isn’t as clear-cut as many believe. After all, while research shows that high doses of Vitamin C can slightly reduce the duration of colds, there’s little evidence that it prevents them entirely. Plus, the...2025-02-0507 min

The Primal Shift69: Is Your Dog's Diet Really Healthy? Here’s What You Need to KnowEver wonder if you’re feeding your dog the diet nature intended? In this episode, I explain why dogs are natural-born meat eaters and challenge some widespread misconceptions about what your dog should be eating (even those your vet might be promoting). Dogs descend directly from wolves, which are obligate carnivores with physiology designed for a meat-centric diet. From their sharp, pointed teeth (which are ideal for tearing flesh) to their highly acidic digestive systems (which effortlessly break down meat and bones), every aspect of a dog’s anatomy screams “carnivore.” Unfortunately, modern feeding practices usually ignore this biol...2024-11-1316 min

The Primal Shift54: How Diet Impacts Your Body Odor!In this episode I dive into the fascinating connection between diet and body odor, sharing personal anecdotes and scientific insights to help you understand how what you eat can influence how you smell. There are two main types of sweat glands: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Eccrine glands produce a watery, odorless sweat that helps regulate body temperature, while apocrine glands (found in areas like the armpits and groin) secrete a thicker fluid that’s rich in proteins and lipids. When the fluid produced by apocrine glands interacts with skin bacteria, it leads to body odor. 2024-07-1719 min
