In Out of Eden, Sameer looks back at human evolutionary history to understand the gut we have today: how our diets changed, how our digestive anatomy changed, and how dramatically different our modern food environment is from the one humans lived in for most of our existence.

That doesnโ€™t mean copying the past.

It means using our history as context for better questions about the present.

Nutrition advice changes constantly.

One decade, fat is the problem. The next, carbs are. Then fibre, fasting, supplements, seed oils, superfoods, the rules keep moving.

But human biology does not change at the same speed.

Your digestive system is the result of a much longer evolutionary story, shaped over hundreds of thousands of years.

That doesnโ€™t mean every answer lies in the past, but it does mean our history matters when we try to understand what supports human health today.

Seed oils may be everywhere today but Sameer asks a different question: were they ever part of the human diet we evolved to eat?

From an ancestral perspective, his answer is essentially zero.

That leads to a bigger question. If a food is relatively new to the human diet, how much evidence should we require before assuming that consuming it regularly over an entire lifetime is harmless?

Sameer argues that rather than automatically accepting modern ingredients as healthy, we should look at human history, long-term evidence and the foods our biology developed around.

Sometimes the question is not simply, โ€œIs this allowed?โ€

It is: โ€œIs this actually food our bodies were designed to handle?โ€

Whatโ€™s your view on seed oils?

Our digestive system didnโ€™t evolve around food labels, diet trends or modern nutrition guidelines. It was shaped over a much longer human story.

That doesnโ€™t mean the past gives us every answer. But it can give us a better starting point - one that considers human biology before blindly following the latest rule.

Travel doesnโ€™t have to mean abandoning the way you normally eat.

Airports, hotels and unfamiliar restaurants can make good choices harder, but they donโ€™t make them impossible.

When I travel, I keep it simple:
โœˆ๏ธ If I can find food that works for me, I eat.
๐Ÿฅฉ I ask restaurants to modify meals instead of assuming the menu is fixed.
๐Ÿ’ง I stay hydrated.
โณ And if thereโ€™s nothing I actually want to eat, Iโ€™m comfortable waiting.

You donโ€™t need a โ€œperfectโ€ travel diet. You need a plan that helps you make intentional choices, even when your environment changes.

Travel without wrecking your gut.

It carries a story shaped over hundreds of thousands of years. ๐ŸŒฟ

That history matters.

The way we digest food, respond to our environment and experience health today is still influenced by biology that developed long before the modern world existed.

And sometimes, understanding whatโ€™s happening in your gut means looking further back than your latest meal.

Your gut is ancient. Your world isnโ€™t.

This is one of the ideas at the heart of Sameer Dossaniโ€™s upcoming book, Out of Eden, launching soon.

Thereโ€™s another side of gut problems that doesnโ€™t get talked about enough:

Becoming afraid of food.

After experiencing repeated symptoms, you can find yourself sitting down to eat already tense, worried about what might happen afterwards.

Sameerโ€™s point is simple: how you eat deserves attention too.

Food shouldnโ€™t become something you approach with constant fear.

Learning your triggers, tracking your responses and gradually understanding what works for you can help replace some of that uncertainty with information.

Because improving your relationship with food isnโ€™t only about what disappears from your plate.

Itโ€™s also about eventually feeling more comfortable sitting in front of it again.

The name of the dish might be the same.

But that doesnโ€™t necessarily mean the food itself is the same.

Traditional recipes can change dramatically when we introduce:
โ†’ faster preparation
โ†’ different cooking fats
โ†’ heavily processed ingredients
โ†’ additives and preservatives
โ†’ much larger portions

Thatโ€™s why Sameer encourages people to look beyond simply labelling an entire cultural cuisine as โ€œgoodโ€ or โ€œbad.โ€

Look at the ingredients.
Look at the preparation.
Look at the portion.
Look at your individual response.

Sometimes the difference isnโ€™t what the dish is called.

Itโ€™s how the dish got to your plate.

Healing your health does not have to mean abandoning your culture.

Sameer argues that the problem is often not the traditional cuisine itself, but what happened to it over timeโ€”industrial seed oils, processed shortcuts, altered ingredients and proportions that moved the food further away from its ancestral roots.

Reclaiming traditional food can mean going back to the ingredients, preparation methods and balance that existed before modern industrialisation changed the plate.

For Sameer, this question has become so important that it helped shape an entire book.

The goal is not to choose between your health and your heritage. It is to understand what part of the tradition may still serve youโ€”and what part may need to change.

How have you adapted your cultural foods to better support your health?

08/13/2026

When one meal causes problems, the answer doesnโ€™t always have to be:

โ€œI can never eat this cuisine again.โ€

Sameerโ€™s approach is more investigative:
1๏ธโƒฃ Spot the likely trigger
2๏ธโƒฃ Look at how the food is prepared
3๏ธโƒฃ Consider the amount and timing
4๏ธโƒฃ Reintroduce carefully and pay attention

And this is where a food journal can become incredibly useful.

Instead of guessing, start building information around what you ate, how it was prepared, how much you had and how you felt afterwards.

Your goal isnโ€™t simply a longer list of foods youโ€™re afraid to eat.

Itโ€™s a better understanding of your own gut.
