Dr. Amy Nett: That’s a great point, but the other thing is, if you’re looking at an ancestral perspective, if we’re looking and going back to the Paleo area, the degree of stress that we are facing now is completely new, completely different. I would argue it’s completely different from even 50 years ago, probably from even 30 years ago. Just the pace that society is going at, the amount of lights we have, the amounts of EMFs, the amount of distractions, not disconnecting, deadlines, work expectations. I agree. The things we’re doing, it’s not really ancestral, but these problems are modern-day problems. It’s unfortunate, but yeah, I agree. These are extracts of things we’re specifically looking for to treat modern problems.

- Also, because the choices are so supplement heavy in the case studies, I’m wondering how supplement heavy most of the cases are really and how you make choices. Are there any go-tos in the different categories that are your favorites? Do you start people with one thing at a time so you can monitor what each one is doing and how it is tolerated? Many of them don’t feel as ancestral based such as in the gut treatment section, meaning they seem more like extracts of things that you don’t find in nature. This is confusing to me because the protocols don’t seem as in alignment with the ancestral medicine approach except for things such as adaptogens.
