Why I'm making a second film

The search continues

Twenty years ago I went looking for an answer to the obesity epidemic and diet-related disease. That search became The Perfect Human Diet, and the answer surprised me: the authentic human diet.

I ended that film with a hope: that what we found would one day be part of the conversation when the government writes its nutrition guidelines. In January 2026 the scientific report behind the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans cited the research of two scientists you meet in the film, Dr. S. Boyd Eaton and Dr. Loren Cordain. See the references.

Hope is back. It is the beginning of the other side of the story, and I'm making the second film to tell it.

Join the Producers Circle

There's no studio behind The Perfect Human Diet 2. It is made with the people who want to see it. Every member of the Producers Circle gets a membership card, and at $100 and up your name is in the end credits.

Watch the first film

The Perfect Human Diet hit #1 Documentary and the #1 Independent film on iTunes, US and Canada, in January 2013 — and was still in the iTunes Documentary top ten in January 2019. Watch it now on Apple TV.
