Quick Start: Nutrition, Supplements, and Our Natural Species-Appropriate Diet

This is a collection of articles by me, Joachim Bartoll, to get you started on the ultimate truth about human nutrition; how we humans as obvious obligate hyper carnivores are meant to eat to thrive and maximize our life span.

I worked in the Gym-, Fitness-, Health-, Sports-, Supplement-, and Medical/Pharmaceutical Industry as both a Coach/Trainer, Scientist, Educator, Writer/Author, and Editor in Chief for more than 28 years combined. I began coaching elite athletes and people from all walks of life in the early 90’s, and I still do. My expertise was within nutrition and body composition, resistance training, supplementation, and drugs. I developed a dozen supplements on my own and was consulted and involved in over a hundred more. During my time in the Fitness Industry, I worked with and coached competing bodybuilders and fitness athletes for about 20 years, from around 1995 to 2016, and from the early 2000’s I also worked with strongmen, track and field athletes, hockey and soccer players, martial artists and elite groups within the military, police, and secret service.

I left the industries all together in late 2017 when I faced death from tumors and failing organs, and when I learned that everything I thought I knew about nutrition, supplements, and diseases was mostly lies. Adopting our species-appropriate, species-specific diet and the new found knowledge of the biological terrain saved my life and helped me recover in record time.
