Paleo
The Paleo diet is based on eating like our hunter-gatherer ancestors—focusing on whole, unprocessed foods that could theoretically be hunted or gathered. It eliminates grains, legumes, and most dairy, emphasizing meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. This approach aims to reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and optimize energy by avoiding modern processed foods.
