BIOJACKED #9: CJ Hunt Tracks Down the Perfect Human Diet
In this episode, we had the pleasure of getting CJ Hunt on the phone to talk about his new movie, “In Search of the Perfect Human Diet” (See http://perfecthumandiet.us ), and to chat about his journey from a sudden heart attack at the age of 24, through several restrictive dietary philosophies, and coming to find better health and peace of mind on the Paleo diet.
The documentary is both a journey and an investigation, as we learn in the interview. We meet doctors, nutritionists, anthropologists, biologists, and many more.
“Actually it was really informative, even for ME, and I think a lot of my audience would really enjoy watching that movie, so I highly encourage people to get the DVD,” says Kiefer during this episode of BioJacked.
As Hunt points out, scientists never want to lock themselves down. “They sort of want to hedge their bets” to avoid making too-strident, as-yet-unproven claims. So what’s so striking about the statements made by the research archaeologists in The Search for the Perfect Human Diet is the utter certainty of the declarations we can now make in light of the new technology that shows to us very clearly what it was that humans ate during the Paleolithic period.

PS. Apologies about the voice quality during the call-in. We’re not sure if we’re doing something wrong on the mixer or whether that’s just how it’s going to sound when we do a phone call in this studio. It’s not our equipment, and we may have a lot more to learn!
