I am super excited, guys!

Today's episode is going to be really informative -- I hope you have pen and paper ready.

It is with none other than Stolan, the God of Plants, Arthur Haines himself.

It's really exciting because Arthur shares something that's really close to him and something he's really passionate about doing right now...

Which is essentially buying more land and creating a rewilding haven or rewilding community he calls the Human Rewilding Project.

He goes into the 12 Guiding Principles of the Human Rewilding Project later in this episode.

That's number seven, which is building community, on a list of 10 rewilding fundamentals he and I talk about.

On top of that, in today's episode you'll learn: 

  • Strategies that help you learn your natural ecology,
  • How to build musculature and skeletal strength suited for our natural landscape,
  • How to treat altered states of reality with respect, and...
  • Much, much more.

Hosted by James Kevin Broderick, Ancestral Health Radio explores a simple yet profound question: how can we live well now by understanding how we lived then? Each weekly conversation moves beyond theory, offering grounded insights from experts in nutrition, physical movement, and daily lifestyle design. The core idea isn't about rejecting modern life, but rather thoughtfully integrating its tools with timeless principles of wellness that are encoded in our biology. You'll hear detailed discussions on adapting ancestral patterns of eating, exercise, and rest to contemporary routines, all aimed at supporting sustained energy, resilience, and longevity. This podcast operates on the belief that our genetic blueprint holds keys to peak physical fitness and mental clarity, even in a world of constant digital stimulation and processed food. Broderick guides these dialogues with a focus on practical, actionable strategies you can apply immediately, whether the topic is metabolic health, stress management, or functional strength. The result is a resource for anyone feeling the disconnect between advanced technology and their own innate well-being, providing a roadmap to realign daily habits with your body's deepest expectations for health.
