By learning to become a fat burner and “metabolically flexible,” I soon began to experience a cascade of positive health improvements.įor example: my 20-year-plus eczema rash disappeared, achy joints and soreness have been nearly eradicated I most often sleep a full night for the first time in my adult life my mood and temperament have improved I no longer suffer from low blood sugar crashes or feelings of “hangryness ” I have become insulin sensitive my cognition, focus and ability to be present and in the moment are acute most of the small skin tags I had have disappeared chronic inflammation is a thing of the past and the list goes on. I soon discovered, however, that the dietary thread I was tugging on was more holistic. My original impetus was simple: weight loss. Over the last year and a half, I have fallen down a rabbit hole of nutrition science and anthropology. In 2017 the entire community ate only local food for six weeks. Although I grew up in Alaska eating a lot of wild-harvested food, this will be the first time I have attempted to eat that exclusively. The genesis and inspiration for this challenge was born from the Bristol Bay village of Igiugig. In this post I will attempt to lay out what I intend to eat and not eat, my feasting/fasting protocol, my inspirations, plus some resources for anyone else interested in taking on this nutritional challenge. For the month of August I intend to only consume food from local sources.
