Healing from the Inside Out: Helen Taylor on Metabolic Health, Detox Myths, and Ancestral Healing

Is your health truly your own, or is it shaped by a world that profits from keeping you sick? In this episode, we explore how to reclaim health sovereignty and listen to your body’s deep wisdom. In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric speaks with Helen Taylor, a premier wellness concierge specializing in personalized, integrative medicine. Helen’s 20+ years of experience and master’s degree in biochemical science and genetic regenerative medicine ground her work in real science, while her personal journey from medical patient to wellness expert offers powerful insights. From discussing the myth of the quick-fix detox to the link between ancestral nutrition and mental health, this episode is a treasure trove of actionable guidance. Helen’s work is deeply aligned with the themes of Eric’s book, The Evolution Gap, and the mission of the show: bridging ancient wisdom and modern health challenges for a more vibrant life. Key Takeaways:→ The power of metabolic health as the foundation for healing chronic illness and mental health.→ Why most “detox” programs are dangerous quick fixes—and how real detox requires slow, gentle repair.→ How the medical system normalizes chronic diseases like diabetes, missing the opportunity for true reversal.→ The hidden link between food quality, evolutionary mismatch, and the modern mental health crisis.→ Why rewilding—sunlight, grounding, and ancestral eating rhythms—can restore energy and vitality.
