Comparative Diets:
Veganism vs Ancestral Diets, Benefits and Limitations
With Nicole Di Nardo, CNP, RNCP

Maybe you’ve considered going on a vegan diet for health benefits. Or heard that the ancestral / paleo diet is the one we evolved from and therefore is optimal for everyone? With such conflicting and contradictory dietary recommendations, it can be difficult to determine what is best for optimal wellness. In this lecture we will take a deep dive into two extreme diets; veganism and ancestral diet to understand the benefits and limitations of each.
Participants will gain an understanding on protein complementation and optimizing plant-based proteins for maximum usability. They will learn about common vegan deficiencies beyond protein, and which foods offer the most nutrient dense sources. The ancestral diet can be equally deficient in vital nutrients when practiced in an extreme form. Without a careful focus on different types of fibre, the gut and microbiome can become imbalanced.
Both diets can be incredibly healing or downright destructive. By tapping intro traditional wisdom, we can determine how ancient cultures maximized nutrients from both plant and animal-based food sources for optimal health and survival.
