Chef, kayaker, traveller & adventurer

My background as a chef added to my recent forays into adventuring has not only changed my whole relationship with food but has also triggered an enormous appetite for learning more about our evolutionary journey and the food that guided it.

I’ve got a really cool thing happening this year – it’s called The Human Diet Project!

Starting in September 2026 I will be diving into the three main human diets that we’ve evolved with over the last 2 million years. All with genetic testing, bloods, stool and any other tests I can get in there. I will be accompanied on the way by a supergroup of experts from many fields to predict and analyse the results of what I’m doing. The aim being to address and discuss the plethora of issues we have with our health and food system – changing climate, animal welfare, global population levels as well as trying to operate within the constraints of a capitalist world system.
