How the Agricultural Revolution ruined our health!

Nutrient deficiencies, bad oral health, infectious diseases.... all results of the agricultural revolution.

After a long existence as hunters and gatherers – 200,000 years as homo sapiens and millions of year if you include our evolutionary ancestors – the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago introduced a radically different way of life that was the first step toward the many chronic health conditions we suffer from today. While it allowed us to rapidly grow our population, it reduced our quality of life.

This negative impact on our health reflects a core principle of the Revival Health platform: We were healthy, we made a bunch of change, we got sick. And to get better, we need to address those changes by adjusting our modern routine to provide our bodies once again with an environment in which we can naturally thrive.
