Dr. Jack Kruse is known for advocating a diet that emphasizes ancestral health principles, often referred to as the "Optimal" or "Leptin Prescription" diet. Some key aspects of his dietary recommendations include:
1. Emphasis on Fresh Foods: Advocates for consuming fresh, whole foods that are minimally processed.
2. Seasonal Eating: Suggests eating foods that are in season and locally sourced when possible.
3. Low Carbohydrate: Typically recommends a lower carbohydrate intake, especially avoiding refined sugars and grains.
4. High Fat: Supports a diet higher in healthy fats, such as those from avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish.
5. Intermittent Fasting: Encourages intermittent fasting to improve metabolic health and regulate leptin sensitivity.
6. Sunlight Exposure: Stresses the importance of sunlight exposure for vitamin D synthesis and overall health.
His approach combines elements of paleo, ketogenic, and intermittent fasting principles with an emphasis on optimizing circadian rhythms and mitochondrial function. Always consult with a healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet.
