The Paleo community is, by and large, a secular universe. We frame our perspectives on health and healing in terms of evolutionary mismatches, and lean heavily on science to explain the unfolding of our lives, But most of the worlds population has another world view, one that places god at the center of the universe.

It's often assumed that these two worlds, the secular and the spiritual, are mutually exclusive, but is that necessarily true? Can someone believe in the almighty and in science?

Today's guest, Jordan Rubin, is the author of the international best-selling Maker's Diet books, and is sometimes referred to as America's Biblical Health coach.

On today's show Jordan and I discuss:

What he did to turn a part-time job at a health food store into a highly successful career. His favorite thing about running a grass-based farm. Why "juicing" should really be replaced by "brothing”. Why he's so excited about "ancient nutrition"
