My Ancestral Lifestyle
Complete guide to living like our ancestors. Sun, real food, natural sleep, zero chemicals.
Overview
The 3 Golden Rules:
- Don't put on your skin what you can't eat
- Eat what humans ate for 2 million years
- Eliminate gluten and seed oils as absolute priority
Part 1: Animal-Based Nutrition
Animal-based ≠ Strict Carnivore. It's a flexible, non-restrictive approach:
- Base = animal products (meat, eggs, fish, organs)
- Complement = fruits and vegetables you enjoy
- Avoid = industrial garbage (seed oils, gluten, processed stuff)
Animal Products
| Food | Why |
|---|---|
| Beef, lamb, chicken, duck | Complete proteins, iron, B12, creatine |
| Whole eggs | Choline, vitamins A/D/E/K, perfect proteins |
| Fish | Omega-3, iodine, selenium |
| Liver & organs | "Natural multivitamin" — vitamin A, copper, B12 |
| Butter/Ghee | Fat-soluble vitamins, butyrate |
Approved Fats
| OK | Use |
|---|---|
| Olive oil | Raw, dressing, light cooking |
| Coconut oil | Cooking, baking, cosmetic |
| Butter | Cooking, toast, everything |
| Ghee | High-temp cooking |
| Beef tallow | Cooking, frying |
| Duck fat | Cooking, flavor |
PRIORITY #1: Industrial Seed Oils
The worst modern poisons. Present EVERYWHERE, destroy cell membranes.
| Garbage | Why it's garbage |
|---|---|
| Sunflower oil | Inflammatory omega-6, oxidation |
| Canola/Rapeseed oil | Chemical processing, trans fats |
| Palm oil | Inflammatory, often hydrogenated |
| Soybean oil | Phytoestrogens, GMO |
| Corn oil | Omega-6, pesticides |
| Grapeseed oil | Ultra-processed |
| "Vegetable oil" | Mix of all this garbage |
Where it hides: Restaurants, prepared meals, cookies, chips, sauces, dressings, even "organic"...
PRIORITY #2: Gluten
Even without being celiac, modern gluten:
- Increases intestinal permeability
- Triggers systemic inflammation
- Contaminated with glyphosate (Roundup)
PRIORITY #3: Industrial Sugars & Processed Food
Simple rule: If there's a mile-long ingredient list, it's a no.
Part 2: Natural Body Care
Your skin absorbs everything. Industrial cosmetics = cocktail of endocrine disruptors.
The simplest and most ancestral method.
- Water is enough for 95% of your body
- Soap destroys your skin microbiome (good bacteria)
- Your body naturally regulates after a few weeks
Acceptable soaps (if really needed):
- Marseille soap (real, 72% olive oil)
- Aleppo soap
- Goat milk soap
Eliminate: Shower gels, industrial soaps, anything that foams too much (= sulfates).
Base recipe:
3 tbsp coconut oil (solid) 2 tbsp baking soda 5-10 drops essential oil (optional)
Recommended essential oils:
- Tea tree (powerful antibacterial)
- Lavender (soothing, smells good)
- Palmarosa (regulates sweating)
Option 1: Siwak (Miswak)
Arak tree branch used for millennia. The ancestral method par excellence.
Benefits:
- Natural antibacterial
- Remineralizing (calcium, natural fluoride, silica)
- Natural whitening
- Strengthens gums
- Freshens breath
Option 2: Baking soda
Dip wet brush in baking soda, brush normally.
Option 3: Oil Pulling
1 tsp coconut oil, swish 10-20 min in the morning, spit out (not in sink).
Part 3: Hair Care
Problem: Industrial shampoos create an inflammatory cycle:
- Strips natural oils
- Scalp overcompensates → becomes oily
- You shampoo again → infinite cycle
Base recipe:
1 whole egg 1 tbsp lukewarm water
Application:
- Beat egg with water
- Apply to wet hair
- Massage scalp 2-3 minutes
- Rinse with COLD water (crucial — otherwise egg cooks in your hair)
Transition:
- With eggs: immediate results, no transition
- Water-only no-poo: 4-6 weeks adaptation (scalp regulates)
Goal: Break fibrosis, restore circulation, relax scalp.
| Technique | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Scalp laxity | 3 min | Move scalp ON skull (fixed fingers) |
| Temple massage | 2 min | Circles on temples → releases fascia tension |
| Finger combing | 2 min | Forehead to nape → stimulates circulation |
| Deep pinching | 3 min | Pinch + release firmly → BREAKS fibrous tissue |
| Inversion | 2-5 min | Head down → massive blood flow to follicles |
- Moves easily (1-2 cm) → Healthy scalp
- Barely moves → Light fibrosis
- Stuck to skull → Severe fibrosis = your follicles are suffocating
Daily serum (1%):
20 ml jojoba oil 6 drops rosemary essential oil
Key studies:
- Rosemary: 2015 study = equivalent to Minoxidil 2% without side effects
- Peppermint: 2014 study = +300% growth vs Minoxidil
- Castor oil: Thickens and strengthens (dilute max 10-15%)
Part 4: Sun & Light
The sun is not the enemy. Lack of sun is.
Routine:
- Morning: 10-30 min, eyes exposed (no sunglasses), skin uncovered
- Midday: Avoid prolonged exposure
- Afternoon: OK in moderation
Natural protection (for long exposure):
| Option | How |
|---|---|
| Olive oil | Apply on skin — natural SPF ~8, nourishes |
| Zinc + coconut oil | Mix zinc oxide (non-nano) + coconut oil — natural mineral protection |
What I avoid:
- Chemical sunscreens (oxybenzone, avobenzone = endocrine disruptors, enter bloodstream)
- Permanent sunglasses (eyes never calibrate to natural light)
For eyes (retinal regeneration):
Wavelength: 670nm Duration: 3 minutes MAXIMUM Timing: Within 3h after waking (MANDATORY) Distance: 20-30 cm Eyes: Open, look toward light (not directly into it) Frequency: 1x/week minimum, can be daily
UCL Studies: 20% vision improvement in 2 weeks. Up to 47% in under 40s.
WARNING: Afternoon = NO effect. It's circadian-dependent.
For body/hair:
Wavelengths: 630-660nm (red) + 810-850nm (near infrared) Duration: 10-15 minutes Frequency: 3-5x/week Distance: Per device (usually 15-30 cm)
