Brian Sanders is like my nutrient density brother from another mother.

We spoke recently about a range of our favourite topics for his podcast, and he was telling me all about his trip to Tanzania to visit the Masia and Hadza people.

I thought it would be fun to get him on to hear more of his travel stories to understand more about our nutritional heritage.

We got to discuss:

Why are you so fascinated by nutrient density that you would travel across the world to see how these people live and eat?
Why did you want to go to Tanzania? How did you organise a trip to visit a Masai tribe? I imagine this is not something just anyone can do.
What is the weirdest food you ate?
Were you worried about hygiene or getting sick?
How are these people differ in terms of health, mood, vitality?
Would you want to live in Tanzania and eat like this all the time?
How can we implement these observations in our modern context?
What foods would you tell someone to avoid to improve their health?
How does nutrient density cut across all locations and dietary dogma?
How is their environment changing? How long do you think they will be living like they did 100 years ago?
What are the implications for humans if we keep on our current nutritional trajectory?
