I had the pleasure to talk to Niklas Gustafson, a true pioneer in the field of holistic nutrition and a staunch advocate for an ancestral, animal-based diet. Diagnosed with celiac disease in his infancy, Niklas's personal struggles with dietary restrictions sparked a lifelong passion for understanding the profound impact of food on our health. His journey has led him from battling personal health issues to becoming a certified expert in Dietetics and Human Nutrition.
Niklas is the visionary founder of Natruly, a company committed to making real, unprocessed food more accessible. He is also the author of the book 'Hungry for Change,' a compelling narrative that challenges conventional dietary wisdom and promotes a return to nutrient-rich, real foods. As the host of the 'Hungry for Change Podcast,' he continues to challenge the status quo, revealing the often-hidden truths about the food and health industry.
With over three decades of experience, a background rooted in both science and personal recovery, as a dedicated athlete, and as a father of five, Niklas's insights are grounded in both professional expertise and real-world application. He is not just an expert; he's a daily practitioner who lives out the principles he teaches, inspiring millions to rethink their relationship with food and to embrace a healthier, more vibrant future.
