Well hello again Sapien people. I\u2019m really excited about this episode. I feel like I\u2019ve found another gem from the far reaches of the globe. Aviaja is of Inuit descent and was born in Greenland where she continues to do her research. Her work revolves around the 98% animal-based diets of the native people there. SHe also is a public speaker and activist for the preservation of their native animal-based diet which is being jeopardized by anti-meat activists and plant-based ideals of the government recommendations. They are trying to get people to eat industrialized plant-based foods that have to be shipped into their country instead of eating their natural diet.

She\u2019s a microbiologist with a Ph.D. in microbial ecology and bioinformatics. She\u2019s been researching the microbiology of Greenland and the broader Arctic through large amounts of DNA sequencing data, also called metagenomics. She\u2019s particularly interested in studying traditional Greenlandic foods eaten by the inuit.

We get into all kinds of interesting topics, especially around fermented foods, which are mostly animal foods in her culture. You\u2019ll want to make sure to stick around for this entire interview.

A few quick announcements - get the free Sapien Food guide on the new http://sapien.org site. It\u2019s like a cheat sheet to being healthy for life. It breaks down the Sapien principles and gives a visual guide of what to eat.\xa0

You can also learn about our Sapien Program there if you\u2019re ready to make some serious changes in your life. Our program educates you on how to be healthy for life and lose weight in the process. It\u2019s backed by Dr. Gary and our health coaching team. You can join us in our clinic Evolve Healthcare in Los Angeles or anywhere in the world. That\u2019s at http://sapien.org

You can also join the tribe there. This is for people who already have sorted out their health but are looking for more and to be part of the special community we\u2019re growing. We just had a private Zoom call last week where Dr. Gary and I answered member questions live. It was really great and we record these and share them to the tribe after as well. We have a limited number of lifetime memberships available at a deep discount at http://sapien.org

That\u2019s it! You can always get the grass finished meat from our ranch in Texas delivered to your door at http://nosetotail.org and please share this podcast with family and friends and give it a review. Really appreciate all of you - here\u2019s Aviaja Hauptmann.
