Nora Gagoutes: A Pioneer of the Primal Paleo Movement

Nora Gagoutes is a key figure in the primal paleo movement, with her book 'Primal Body, Primal Mind' becoming highly influential. She started as a neurofeedback practitioner but transitioned to nutritional science when she saw the positive impact it had on her clients. Gagoutes emphasizes the importance of animal source foods, highlighting their rich nutrient content and unique benefits. She discusses the significance of fat and fat-soluble nutrients in human health, drawing from the research of Weston Price. Gagoutes also promotes the idea of plant diversity for the microbial diversity in our gut, but sees plants as a side dish rather than a primary staple. She advocates for self-sufficiency and creating networks with local farmers to secure high-quality food sources.
