Dagmar

Aajonus’ primal diet which I started 22 years ago back in Los Angeles, has put me on a path of biological adventure, bodily discovery and unimagined vitality. Though I was pre-med and graduated from Brown University, I am grateful that I did not follow in my beloved mother’s footsteps and become a physician. It was the other way around, she followed in my footsteps and so fell in love with Aajonus’ book “We Want To Live” that she used to joke and say with heavy Eastern European accent “I never leave home without it.”

Aajonus was a living example of the grounding, calming and healing power raw meat, dairy and eggs have on the nervous system. I noticed that all the people on his diet had that kind of calm wildness in their eyes, like a mountain lion at rest. I am very familiar with the challenges of changing our eating style and I love coaching people into a sustainable way of living long, healthy, exuberant lives.

My passion and expertise is in the area of all things oxalate and how it relates to the primal diet. Oxalates, found in common plant foods (many of which are advertised as superfoods) are like sharp nano-sized shards of glass that plants use to defend themselves. Plants can’t attack or run away so they use neurotoxins like oxalates as a survival strategy. Ancient African hunters would drive their wooden arrows into a banana tree trunk before the hunt because they knew they could count on the oxalic acid in the sap to paralyze their prey.

It’s been really satisfying to help my clients who’ve had long standing, what appear to be unsolvable health issues. I found that oxalate overload is often the missing piece in the puzzle of their return to health. I believe if Aajonus was alive today we would be having a lively exchange about this subject. I have a little YouTube show called “Eating With Dagmar” where I share many recipes and philosophize about the art of eating. Just for fun, here is my Raw Liver Shots video.
