Today, I’m joined by Eric Edmeads, the visionary entrepreneur, evolutionary nutrition expert, and creator of WildFit. Our conversation travels from his childhood fascination with human ancestry—sparked by holding a cast of the oldest Homo sapiens skull—to his transformative health journey that erased years of chronic pain, infections, and inflammation. Eric’s personal story is compelling, but what sets him apart is how he connects our evolutionary roots to the food choices we make today.
