The New Evolution Diet by Art De Vany
My book is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It is available in English and French in Canada. In the UK, the latest edition is now called The De Vany Diet, a better title in some ways. There are Brazilian, Korean and German versions. The writing has been called elegant in saying only what must be said and nothing more. I think you will find the parts emphasizing the Ice Ages and this genetic bottleneck's importance in the shaping of human behavior and metabolism original and informative. Math matters, no other book treats the mathematics of human metabolism as a complex, dynamical system or gene expression as complex networks. The energy balance model is misleading and may have many set points. The idea that the central nervous system protects the brain in competition for nutrients with other body tissues is original to this book and offers a new perspective on weight gain, obesity, and a peaceful mental state. My book also contains the latest research on the role of the brain in metabolism and regards inflammation as a central nexus of chronic diseases.

Evolution Nutrition Products
Evolution Nutrition products are co-developed with the scientists of the Glutathione Corporation. They center on maintaining a healthy redox (reduction/oxidation) balance in the body, which is essential to cell signalling and the integrity of the DNA. The Ultrathione form of glutathione has been shown to be highly absorbed in cells and safe (glutathione is the primary scavenger of reactive oxygen species and is present in cells of all living things). The molecule is at least 500 million years old. Ultrathione is shown to be safe and effective in raising cellular Glutathione in clinical trials and is classified by the FDA as an over-the-counter pharmaceutical, a distinction not shared by other nutritional supplements to our knowledge. For more on Guardian please see the link in the top menu. Ultrathione, the pharmaceutical, stabilized glutathione used in Guardian is protected under US patent (filed as number 6159500).

Beyond Paleo to Living Long with Health and Vitality
Paleo has finally caught on, after years of work by a few pioneers, but it has become fractionated and splintered and a bit lost. It needs more fundamental principles and a more precise application of those principles to a host of modern diseases.
I was never Paleo in a sense, though some may put me in that category. I believed in evolutionary biology and physiology and modern science, including the science of complexity. I may try to live somewhat like a caveman, but I know and value the research and use it with the evolutionary perspective to try to live a healthy, peaceful, and pleasant life. My saying on this has caught on: We are hunter-gatherers in pin-stripe suits living and dying in ways our ancestors never experienced.
That is to say, modern life follows living patterns and diets that are unheard of in evolutionary times. It is loaded with chronic stresses --- physical, emotional, social, and financial. We humans never lived this way before and it is remarkable that we have adapted so readily to a life way that is completely different from the one we evolved in. Now we have to face the evolutionary trap that what kept us healthy in our youth can work against our health and survival when we age.
Life is better now in most ways and humans live far longer and in better health than ever before. But, this fact has turned the evolutionary survival mechanisms that serve us in our youth against us as we age. So, I think we need to turn our thoughts to how we will live life so as to enjoy and long and healthy one. That includes how we live when we are young because events in our youth the alter gene expressions, physiology and metabolism that we will have when we are old. Events of our youth leave markers on our DNA, in our physiology and metabolism and alter the structure of our cells. As our cells alter in shape and function they become unrecognizable to our immune system and that fosters inflammation. Systemic inflammation underlies virtually all modern, chronic diseases. Modern life breeds inflammation and we need to find ways to live and eat and be active that do not tip us into the inflammatory cascade that ages and eventually kills us.
