I've thought that too, like, my ancestry is Celtic and Mi'kmaq, so, everyone is around the 45th parallel or higher, we're all very north. And what does my body like? Meat - both hunter cultures - dairy - Celts were very big on dairy and cattle - and with a few exceptions, more root type veg - turnips, onions, sweet potatoes, and squash, apples, etc. Mostly very northern traditional foods (my main exceptions being coffee, chocolate, and tomatoes being in my diet regularly, lol, and I realize that sweet potato is from tropical places originally I think). Like there are some northern staples I still can't have, like nuts, which I have never liked anyway, but just so much of what my body does well with seems to be very old in the family tree kind of stuff. I can't even do most grains, and grains are pretty recent, human-ancestral-diet-wise. That bread roll I used is actually a cheat because I test allergic to wheat but in practice I rash only if it's whole wheat and don't if it's white.
I have had such terrible experiences with western medicine, and have tried whatever alternatives I could, but man I've never really had traditional medicine and I wonder if it wouldn't do me some real good. I've got some chronic issues that just lay me out.
