Animal Inner Wisdom Part 3: Grappling with Uncertainty - Fred Provenza, PhD (Oct 2020)

Nov 18, 2020
“Animal Inner Wisdom: Have We Lost It?” is the presentation shared by Fred Provenza, PhD at the October 6 , 2020 Zoom meeting of the Silicon Valley Health Institute.

This is Part 3 -
Grappling with Uncertainty and Fading Into Mystery.

Fred Provenza, PhD will present and discuss the wisdom of the body, a wisdom that links flavor-feedback relationships at a cellular level with biochemically rich foods to meet the body’s nutritional and medicinal needs. What can we learn from animals’ inner nutritional wisdom?

Animals, including humans, develop nutritional and medicinal memories in utero and early in life. This takes place at a cellular level as evidenced by Claire Sylvia and her book A Change of Heart. When she received a heart and lung transplant, she also received the taste preferences of the donor. Young children select foods containing nutrients that the individual needs.
