On this episode of Ancestral Health Today, we take a look back into Ancestral Health Symposium 2014 where Dr. Robert Lustig spoke about sugar not being an ordinary commodity. Dr. Lustig is Professor emeritus of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He specializes in the field of neuroendocrinology, with an emphasis on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system. His research and clinical practice has focused on childhood obesity and diabetes. Dr. Lustig holds a Bachelor's in Science from MIT, a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell University. Medical College, and a Master's of Studies in Law from U.C. Hastings College of the Law.Dr. Lustig has fostered a global discussion of metabolic health and nutrition, exposing some of the leading myths that underlie the current pandemic of diet-related disease. He believes the food business, by pushing processed food loaded with sugar, has hacked our bodies and minds to pursue pleasure instead of happiness; fostering today's epidemics of addiction and depression. Yet by focusing on real food, we can beat the odds against sugar, processed food, obesity, and disease.

On today's an episode we bring you a special presentation by L Amber O' Hearn, M. Sc. from the Ancestral Health Symposium. All of our past AHS presentations can be found on our YouTube channel Ancestral Health Today “For decades, the Dietary Guidelines of America have recommended strictly limiting added dietary salt primarily on the basis of real but largely clinically irrelevant effects on blood pressure. Members of the Low Carb and Paleo Diet communities have pointed out the senselessness of these recommendations, while also noting observational correlations between moderately higher salt intake and lower mortality. While it's true that salt has been highly prized in post-agricultural times, evidence does not support high sodium intake in either the Paleolithic or modern non-agrarian societies. In this talk I will present anthropological and biological evidence for and against increasing salt intake, with special attention to the ketogenic and animal-food-predominant dietary contexts” Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

Good Inflammation, Bad Inflammation

This episode with Dr. Pedro Bastos is a broad exploration of the role of inflammation in health and disease. In popular media, inflammation is regularly referenced only as a process that impairs our health, but as you'll learn today, inflammation also plays an essential and beneficial role in context. There is good inflammation and bad inflammation, and it is important to understand the difference.Dr. Bastos is a dietitian and researcher affiliated with the European University of Madrid in Spain, and Lund University in Sweden. At Lund, he studied and collaborated with Staffan Lindeberg, the principal investigator of the famous Kitava Study. He lectures extensively on health related topics worldwide and has co-authored influential papers such as "The Western Diet and Lifestyle and Diseases of Civilization, and "Chronic Inflammation in the etiology of disease across the lifespan", which was the most cited recent article in the influential journal, Nature Medicine. He has presented at the Ancestral Health Symposium, most recently in 2022 on a recap of the Kitava study.In this conversation, Dr. Bastos discusses the definition and function of inflammation, as well as the distinction between acute and chronic inflammation. He explains the various biomarkers used to detect inflammation and highlights their limitations. The conversation also explores the relationship between inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as the evidence supporting a connection between chronic inflammation and a range of diseases, including metabolic syndrome and autoimmune disorders. Inflammation plays a key role in various health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Chronic inflammation can both cause and be a consequence of immune processes. The Kitava study, conducted on a traditional population in Papua New Guinea, revealed that their diet, while high in carbohydrates and saturated fat, is relatively unprocessed and has characteristics that low may contribute to their lower levels of inflammation and better health outcomes. Other lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, sun exposure, sleep patterns, stress and lower exposure to pollutants, may also play a role in reducing inflammation-induced disease. From this, Dr. Bastos discusses how our diets can be tailored to minimize inflammation, including the roles of specific nutrients. The conversation touches on some debates around inclusion or exclusion of fiber, whole grains, dairy and alcohol. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the complexity of inflammation and the need for personalized approaches to promote optimal health.Resources: * "Chronic Inflammation in the etiology of disease across the lifespan", Nature Medicine, 24, 1822-1832 (2019) : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-019-0675-0* "The western diet and lifestyle and diseases of civilization", Research Reports in Clinical Cardiology 201, 1:2, 15-35 (2011): https://www.dovepress.com/the-western-diet-and-lifestyle-and-diseases-of-civilization-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-RRCC-MVP * "Revisiting the Kitava study", Ancestral Health Symposium (AH22): Here is a guide to topics discussed in this podcast episode:Time Topic00:00 Introduction and background01:33 Definition and functions of inflammation04:44 Acute vs. chronic systemic inflammation09:04 Triggers of acute vs. chronic inflammation12:25 Inflammation biomarkers - uses and limitations19:48 Inflammation and oxidative stress26:45 The role of Inflammation in chronic diseases27:17 Inflammation in metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease29:38 Inflammation in autoimmune disorders31:56 Inflammation in cancers34:04 Inflammation and cellular aging36:58 The Kitava study: Health findings47:54 The Kitava study: Dietary macronutrients, micronutrients and specific foods53:07 Inflammation in Kitavans vs. Swedish controls57:42 The role of lifestyle factors: sleep, physical activity, stress, sun exposure, sleep1:02:30 Mechanisms of stress-Induced Inflammation1:05:32 Pedro's dietary and lifestyle recommendations to control chronic Inflammation1:07:52 The importance of phytochemicals1:13:11 The question of fiber1:16:52 Grains, dairy and alcohol1:25:44 Summary and conclusions Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

A Second Look: What Really Causes Diabetes and Cancer?

This Second Look episode combines two AHS talks by Dr. Ron Rosedale: His 2012 talk at Harvard on Diabetes and his 2019 talk in San Diego on Cancer. Dr. Rosedale was an early pioneer of the low carb movement, and one of the first to focus on the metabolic value of increasing dietary fat rather than dietary protein. Based on a deeper understanding the roles of insulin, leptin, and mTOR in human metabolism, he crafted his Rosedale Diet, not just for weight loss, but for preventing or treating heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other metabolic disorders that are on the increase in the industrialized world.These two talks may seem to be about entirely different diseases. But if you watch and listen carefully, you'll appreciate how Dr. Rosedale applies a unified framework to understand metabolic diseases on a fundamental level -- as revealing an underlying problem in communication between different parts of an organism - problems stemming from aberrations in hormone signaling, growth factors, and nutrient sensors.Modern medicine often goes down the wrong road in misconceiving diseases in terms of a lack or excess or some particular chemical, gene activity, or mitochondrial dysfunction. So diabetes is thought of as a disease of too much glucose, cardiovascular disease - too much cholesterol, osteoporosis -- too little calcium. And similarly, cancer has been though of as a disease stemming from too much glucose, or activation or damage to certain genes, or to mitochondria.Dr. Rosedale's reframing of diabetes and cancer leads to practical approaches to treating these diseases. The first talk presents a challenge to the way we conventionally think about diabetes as a diesease of "too much glucose". It gets to that conclusion only in the second part of the talk, after a deep discussion of how organisms evolved to sense nutrient availability. In the case of diabetes, he focuses on the hormonal signaling, in particular the need to keep insulin and leptin signaling in check by avoiding not just too much processed carbohydrates, but too much protein in the diet.The second talk by Dr. Rosedale was delivered at the Ancestral Health Symposium in San Diego in 2019. The title is "Was Otto Warburg Wrong?" Otto Warburg was an Nobel Prize winning German physiologist of the early twentieth century, who noticed that cancer cells are adept at burning glucose thought cancer could be starved by denying it glucose. This view has been recently revived in light of failures of the genetic and free radical theories of cancer. But as you'll hear, Dr. Rosedale pokes holes in all those theories,In the second talk on cancer, he focuses on restraining the potential of cells to grow unchecked by controlling the insulin, leptin and mTOR signaling pathways. These are the hormones and pathways that facilitate healthy growth when we are young, but can cause problems like cancer particularly as we age. Finally, Dr. Rosedale suggests how a diet low in protein reduces cancer risk and can promote longer lifespan.Besides the above talks, you can learn more by reading Dr. Rosedale's book, The Rosedale Diet.Here is a guide to topics discussed in this podcast episode:Time Topic00:00 Todd's introduction to the two talks by Dr. Rosedale03:36 Talk #1 (AHS 2012): "The Deeper Roots of Health and Diet"04:45 The common chemistry and metabolism of early life forms06:44 Glucose as the first fuel for early single-cell organisms08:47 The origins of mitochondria and fat-burning mitochondria13:58 Nutrient sensors 14:50 How Insulin, mTOR, leptin sense glucose, protein and fat16:10 Insulin and leptin resistance and miscommunication16:42 Diabetes is not a disease of glucose, but of miscommunication 18:10 How fasting and ketogenic diets promote longevity19:54 Q&A: FIber, brain nutrition, dietary protein25:17 Todd's intro to Talk #226:17 Talk #2 (AHS 2019): "Was Otto Warburg Wrong?"28:05 Critique of the genetic theory of cancer29:09 Critique of the metabolic (glycolytic) theory of cancer39:29 How cancer can use multiple sources of fuel45:22 Cancer is a cause, not an effect, of mitochondrial damage55:44 Cancer is not a disease of glucose and mitochondria57:03 Cancer is a disease of uncontrolled growth...59:12 promoted by growth factor like IGF, HGH, leptin and mTOR1:03:32 Elevated mTOR promotes mitochondrial damage1:04:54 A low protein diet suppresses cancer and extends lifespan1:05:30 Recommendations for dietary protein limitation Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode, Dr. Emily Deans discusses the field of evolutionary psychiatry and its connection to mental health. Dr. Deans is a board certified psychiatrist and writes the blog Evolutionary Psychiatry, based on the observation that our brains are healthiest when we embrace a diet and lifestyle reflecting the conditions under which we humans evolved. Dr. Deans has presented at the Ancestral Health Symposium in 2012 and 2018 on topics related to this theme.In this discussion, we dive into what some of the recent clinical studies are telling us about the connection between food and mood disorders conditions such as depression. In particular, she reviews studies showing anti-depressive effects of a Meditarrean diet with meat, and also omega-3 supplementation. Dr. Deans emphasizes the importance of considering individual dietary needs and preferences when implementing diet interventions in psychiatric practice. She shares success stories of patients who have experienced improvements in mood through dietary changes, including ketogenic and low-carb diets. She also highlights the connection between glucose tolerance and violent behavior, and the importance of smoothing out blood sugar response by incorporating whole foods into the diet. Dr. Deans discusses the emerging recognition within the medical profession of food's impact on mental health. She shares her approach to helping patients reduce or come off psychiatric medications, emphasizing the importance of a multifactorial approach that includes diet, exercise, and psychotherapy. Dr. Deans also discusses the potential risks and benefits of dietary changes for individuals with eating disorders.

How to Reverse Myopia

This episode of the podcast kicks off a new feature called "Second Look", where we replay selected talks from past Ancestral Health Symposium conferences, that we think will interest you.This talk was presented by Todd Becker at the 2014 Ancestral Health Symposium meeting in Berkeley, California. The title is: "Myopia: A Modern Yet Reversible Disease" Myopia is also called near-sightedness. It's a refractive defect of the eye, where close up objects are in focus, but more distant objects appear blurred. Glasses or contacts are typically prescribed to correct this condition -- although in reality they don't actually correct the underlying problem. They are just a crutch that aids you in seeing more clearly. And often they just make the underlying problem worse, so stronger lenses are needed.Todd wore glasses for my his myopia, starting in high school, and over time the eye doctor kept increasing strength of the prescription... until he discovered how to get rid of them in his forties. The first part of talk is about about the increasing incidence and causes of myopia, including the underlying biology of how the eye becomes myopic by increasing in axial length, due to environmental factors such as poor vision hygiene -- spending too much time reading and looking at screens up close.The second half of the talk builds on this biological understanding to reverse the process, describing in detail how to use an active focusing technique to reverse myopia and restore normal vision. The method was adapted from research and practices used by others. Todd first wrote about his success and the active focusing approach in 2010, on the blog, GettingStronger.org It's one of many applications of a general biological principle known as hormesis - the judicious application of controlled low-dose stress to make the body and metabolism more resilient in different ways.The talk also indicates how the same principles can be used to reverse hyperopia, or far-sightedness, where one has trouble focusing on fine print or objects up close. Something that many people encounter as they get older.This talk on Myopia Reversal remains the single most popular recorded talk on our Ancestral Health Society YouTube channel, with well over a million views and 4000 comments. The comments fall into three main categories:* A small number are from skeptics who don't believe it is biologically possible to reverse myopia.* A larger number are from viewers who applied the technique with success, and either reduced their glasses prescription or got rid of their glasses or contact lenses for good.* And there is another group with questions from those interested in trying the technique but are unsure about certain details. For thesse people, there is an FAQ post on my blog that answers many of those commonly asked questions.

In this episode of Ancestral Health Today, we hear from Miki Ben-Dor about how our Paleolithic ancestors ate and lived, and what it means for the optimal diet and social structure of modern humans .Miki received his PhD in paleoanthropology when he was 67 years old, and since has made a name for himself publishing and speaking for both academic and popular audiences. His paper, "The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene", became the most-cited paper in 2021 in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology. He has presented his work at numerous conferences, including several times at the Ancestral Health Symposium. And his recent book, "Live Paleo Style" takes a fresh look at how the mismatch between our evolutionary origins and the circumstances of modern society manifests itself not just in diet and health, but more broadly in social and emotional life.In this discussion. we will dive in to the paleoanthropological evidence that humans evolved as hunters and meat eaters and that meat remains the food we are best adapted to eat for health. As you'll hear, the evidence takes many different forms -- including archeological, anatomical, physiological, and ecological findings. We'll go beyond diet, to consider the cultural and behavioral implications of our background as hunter-gatherers, and what that suggests for increasing human happiness and flourishing.Takeaways* Humans evolved as hunters and meat eaters, supported by various forms of evidence.* The transition from plant eaters to meat eaters was driven by environmental changes and the availability of large animals.* Physiological evidence, such as stomach acidity and fat cell structure, supports our adaptation to a meat-based diet.* The decline of megafauna due to human hunting led to the need to hunt smaller animals.* Hunter-gatherer societies exhibit principles of equality and autonomy. Hunter-gatherer societies had a sense of autonomy and decision-making that allowed individuals to choose their actions without external influence.* Hunter-gatherers had a relatively small amount of work time and more leisure time compared to modern societies.* Modern work structures with hierarchy and lack of autonomy can lead to stress and dissatisfaction.* Finding a balance between material abundance and autonomy is a challenge in modern society.* Building and maintaining a sense of community is important for well-being and longevity.* Spontaneity and autonomy go hand in hand, allowing individuals to make choices freely.* Resolving disagreements and conflicts can involve mobility and forming new groups.* Ongoing research projects focus on understanding prey decline and the impact of human activities on the environment.References and links:* Blog and research links: https://www.paleostyle.com/?p=2212* Book: "Live Paleo Style: Overcome the Modern Mismatch to Regain Your Natural Wellbeing". https://www.amazon.com/Living-Paleo-Style-Ancestral-Modern-Wellbeing-ebook/dp/B0BTDKVX1V/ref=sr_1_1?crid=BCVYOPG9HKUK&keywords=miki+ben-dor&qid=1702834665&sprefix=miki+ben-dor%2Caps%2C246&sr=8-1Here is a guide to topics discussed in this podcast episode:Time Topic00:07 Introduction06:35 Transition from plant eating to meat eating12:08 Physiological evidence21:50 Role of fire and cooking28:15 Variability in human diets35:10 Causes and effects of the megafauna extinction48:48 Human adaptation to agriculture51:12 Social structure of hunter-gatherers58:05 Sharing, Autonomy and Decision-Making in Hunter-Gatherer Societies1:01:20 Work and Leisure in Hunter-Gatherer Societies1:03:21 Mismatch and stress in modern work life1:05:21 Balancing material abundance and autonomy in modern life1:09:00 Building community and maintaining relationships1:14:00 Resolving disagreements and the role of mobility1:15:35 Miki's current research (edited) Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

There is a body of research on the benefits of Red Light Therapy for eye health: The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) cited two studies discussing the potential eye-related benefits of red light therapy. “A 2017 study found that red light partially reversed the effects of aging in the retinas of old mice, enhancing retinal performance by 25%,” the AAO says. “And a 2019 study found that while blue light damaged lab-grown retinal cells, red light reversed that damage.”The (AAO) also reported in late 2020, that "a study in The Journals of Gerontology found that brief exposure to deep red light — three minutes a day for two weeks — improved older adults' ability to discern letters against a similarly colored background.”Listen to Anne's personal experience to understand this profound effect and we encourage you to do your own research and speak to your health care provider to see if this can be beneficial to you.

Terry Wahls on Treating Multiple Sclerosis Using Paleo PrinciplesIn this episode of the podcast, Dr. Terry Wahls will discuss a promising approach to treating MS and other autoimmune conditions using a "paleo plus" diet. Terry is a professor of clinical medicine at the University of Iowa and has developed a dietary framework for recovery from MS based on her own experience and recovery from the disease. This approach is summarized in her book, The Wahls Protocol.I first saw Terry give an inspirational talk at the Ancestral Health Symposium at Harvard in 2012. Since then, she has given TED talks and lectured around the world. She has refined her protocol, which has now been tested in several clinical trials. The diet is based on Paleo Principles and functional medicine concepts supported by research. It can be customized based on individual needs and has helped individuals with a variety of autoimmune conditions, not just MS.Here is a guide to topics discussed in this podcast episode:Time Topic1:22 Terry's personal MS story3:18 Self-experiments with supplements to support mitochondria10:00 Designing a nutrient-dense paleo diet with functional medicine principles14:00 Electrical stimulation of muscles16:15 Terry's dramatic recovery from MS23:00 Causes of multiple sclerosis: genetics, infections, leaky gut, toxins & stressors25:15 Other autoimmune diseases29:40 Dietary influences on aging and cognitive decline33:13 Diet essentials: Vegetables: green leafy, sulfur-rich, deeply-colored35:45 Diet essentials: Meat, fish, organ meats39:00 Options for people with food aversions or affordability challenges44:00 Terry's on-line course for the Wahls protocol44:45 Diet studies and clinical trials47:18 Neurology journal meta-analysis of 8 diets for MS patients.

Stephan Guyenet on How the Brain Controls Eating and ObesityThis episode with Stephan Guyenet examines the brain processes that drive appetite and eating behavior. Stephan is a neuroscientist who has studied what drives many of us to overeat and become overweight, and why it is so hard to lose weight. He did his Ph.D. in Neurobiology at the University of Washington, and wrote the popular heath blog, Whole Health Source. In 2017 he published a highly acclaimed book about this - The Hungry Brain. It continues to garner praise and attention, and was featured last February on the New York Times' Ezra Klein podcast. Stephan has spoken at the Ancestral Health Symposium several times on topics relating to the metabolic and neurological processes that underlie eating behavior and obesity.Our conversation with Stephan touches on how evolution shaped our brain circuits to function in a way that is mismatched to the modern food environment. Weight control is not a simple matter of willpower, but of better awareness to how our neurobiology and reward circuits respond to different foods.Here is a guide to topics discussed in this podcast episode:1:57 How Stephan got interested in the brain's role in obesity3:12 Obesity as a modern phenomenon and it's rarity in pre-industrial societies like the Hazda6:45 Theories on the cause of the obesity epidemic - macronutrients, processed foods, food abundance11:31 Why It's not just about carbohydrates or refined carbs14:10 And it's also not just about omega-6 seed oils17:10 Food cravings and calorie dense highly palatable food18:52 The evidence from rat studies24:29 Food combinations and dopamine release in the brain25:48 Sensory specific satiety28:03 Is palatability inherent in food, hardwired in the brain, or learned through conditioning?33:08 The mismatch between our brain reward circuits and modern processed foods36:09 What is dopamine and how does it work in the brain to induce cravings?45:07 How to extinguish food cravings by changing what we eat46:47 How low carb and low fat diets can both work48:11 The role of food flavor in appetite control49:52 Recruiting non-conscious brain circuits to support your weight loss goals50:33 Which diets Stephan thinks are best supported by the evidence56:17 Satiety and calorie density58:06 What Stefan is working on now Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode of Ancestral Health Today, we bring you a conversation with James Nestor. James Nestor is a science journalist and author of the bestselling book Breath, which was on the New York Times bestseller list for 18 weeks, and won the a 2020 prize for Best General Nonfiction. James also wrote a book on free divers who test their limits by diving to the ocean floor without oxygen tanks, and he's published articles in Scientific American, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Surfer's Journal. He suffered from some respiratory conditions and spoke to medical researchers, athletic trainers, and practitioners of different religious and meditative traditions, trying to understand the connection between breathing and health. James spoke at the Ancestral Health Symposium conferences in 2021 and 2022.In today's episode, we start by covering the physiology of breathing and how it influences oxygen, carbon dioxide and the autonomic nervous system. We'll get into some physiological experiments that James and a colleague took part in with leading doctors at Stanford, and how changing breathing lowered blood pressure, reversed apnea and other health issues. We'll then look the how the changes in diet and lifestyle in modern society has actually changed the shape of the human skull and our airways, impairing our ability to breath correctly. Finally, we'll look at some advanced breathing practices that can improve health and combat anxiety.For more information on the science and practice of breathing for better health, please visit his website, mrjamesnestor.com 00:00 Introduction02:00 Slow breathing is healthy, increases carbon dioxide07:14 What is a good rate of breathing?10:14 Nose breathing12:19 Nitric oxide, cardiovascular health14:41 Self-experiments with mouth breathing vs nose-breathing, sleep apnea, mouth tape23:34 Steps on exhale as measuring lung capacity30:07 Did we evolve to breathe optimally?32:41 Modern industrial lifestyle alters skull shape39:44 Chewing stress affects skull shape43:28 Can we fix airways later in life?46:18 Innovative pediatric dentists48:39 Tumo/Wim Hof method53:19 Justin Feinstein, deliberate boosting CO2 for health56:15 Carbon dioxide in environments, indoors58:12 Conclusion Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

On this episode of “Death in The Garden,” we talked to our brilliant, long-time friend of the podcast, Isabel Ramirez. Isabel is a board certified health coach specializing in chronic conditions (she is auto-immune and paleo certified), an expert forager, inspiring mother, and all around amazing person. We discussed the importance of inclusivity into wellness and regenerative agriculture spaces, the problems of financialization in the health and wellness world, the way an ancestrally appropriate diet and lifestyle can help manage chronic health conditions, the incapability of industrial civilization with the biological needs of our bodies, and how overwhelming it can be to attain health in modern times. We talk about the problems associated with healthcare being about “symptom control” rather than root cause treatments. Isabel breaks down the transition into modernity and how that has severed us from vital processes that help us maintain our health, including community, belonging, and access to healthy, in-season, biodiverse foods. We discuss how capitalism has motivated the homogenization and destruction of food through monocropping and chemically intensive practices. Isabel has a vast wealth of information, and we hope you enjoy this conversation.

We discuss the intersections between the campaigns to demonize meat-eating, the corporatization of the food system, the proliferation of chronic disease, biased nutritional science, global deficiencies and malnutrition, and animal-rights groups. We also touch on the biological indicators which prove meat-eating is natural, and we talk about how animal have been systematically obscured from perception and cordoned to industrial methods, and how that separation has been integral to animal rights abuses. We discuss the connection between The Great Reset, the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the UN, and the transformation to factory produced foods, as well as the expansion of “protected areas” under plans like 30x30 or “Half-Earth.” We talk about what models of scientific analysis should be implemented in the future to understand the complexity of human nutrition science with more rigor, as well as the need for certain regulations to end animal cruelty and regenerate land.

This early interest in healing led her to study biochemistry at Harvard and Princeton and, later, acupuncture at the San Francisco School of Oriental Medicine.After experiencing crippling back pain during her first pregnancy and unsuccessful back surgery, Gokhale began her lifelong crusade to vanquish back pain. Her studies at the Aplomb® Institute in Paris and years of research in Brazil, India, Portugal and elsewhere led her to develop the Gokhale Method, a unique, systematic approach to help people find their bodies' way back to pain-free living.Gokhale's book, 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back, has sold over 300,000 copies and has been translated into ten languages. In 2010, Gokhale hosted the nationally-televised program Back Pain: The Primal Posture™ Solution (available on DVD and streaming). The Gokhale Method continues to grow as dozens of qualified teachers, each personally trained by Gokhale, now teach the method worldwide.Gokhale has taught at corporations such as Google, IDEO, and Facebook, presented at conferences including TEDx(Stanford) and Ancestral Health Symposium, consulted for the trainers of the SF 49ers and several Stanford sports teams, and conducted workshops for physician groups at Stanford, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, PAMF, and UCSF.
