Very strange that you explain Daniel Quinn as being very influential for this podcast, and yet it’s nearly impossible to hear anything that is said by him during his episode. Seems as though the podcast is no longer in existence, even if it was it may have fixed this, but it seems like somebody who is proficient with audio engineering would be incredibly useful for future episodes. This is not the first time episodes have very poor overall audio quality. The information is good, and I don’t have really any issues otherwise. Just please improve the overall sound quality so one can actually receive the information that is being given.

A triumph of a podcast. A+ on many levels

I can’t recommend this podcast enough. It’s helped me to understand and reframe movement, diet, death, medicine, sex, and a plethora of other topics in a new light. Easily the most impactful and life-altering podcast I’ve ever listened to.

Why did these podcasts stop in 2017!?! Very interesting topics and guests.

Really incredible podcast. Unbelievable amount of very valuable information contained here. Thank you, Daniel!

Interesting guests, host talks WAY too much. Sometimes guests can’t get a word in edgewise. Way too long of an intro. I’d like him to get to the guest and do less babbling. Can’t subscribe because of this.

This podcast makes me feel inspired -and- down to earth. I highly recommend listening to Daniel’s “WildFed” podcast as well!

This podcast is absolutely filled with inspiring and empowering information to come into touch with your most optimized human nature. Daniel is a motivating individual that really practices what he preaches. The dialogue is a great balance between philosophical and practical. For those who want to expand their consciousness, reconnect to the wild self within and become a sovereign human being this podcast is just for you

This show presents some wild ideas. They resonate with me. I give it 5 stars!

Thank you for all of this

Mostly a lot of meaningless chatter.

Daniel is phenomenal, his work is life changing. Rewild! ***re-listening in 2019; powerful ***

I know I’ve listened to almost all if these 2-3 years ago. I am learning so much more this second go around! Quality and enjoyment x 2

How did Vitalis have a podcast for 2 years and I’m just finding out about it? I’ve heard him speak dozens of times on other people’s podcasts on YouTube mostly. He’s bringing the common practices of people all over the world like drinking water from Springs, squatting when you go, eating wild foods, hunting and gathering and inspiring domesticated Americans to do the same, to their benefit. Most of all you will be educated on your magnificent body and how to maximize the use out of it. Our Lifestyle is a breeding ground for diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. He’s a breath of fresh air in this modern world of pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, un-natural complete sun avoidance practices, drinking water from Faucets which contain birth control and just plain ladened with toxins. This is better than any Netflix! Every human must hear this:) open your mind! Improve your health!

I’ve only listened to the first episode of this podcast, and it’s mostly paleo pseudoscience with some sexism, racism, and dangerous information thrown in. In this episode, two men criticize women who give birth in hospitals because it’s not “natural”. I’m a former wildlife biologist and minored in biological anthropology, and from experience I know maternal and fetal death during the birthing process- even (especially) in the wild- occurs regularly. It’s a common, but inaccurate, assumption that natural selection results in a perfect organism that is successful in all biological processes. Pressuring women to give birth without medical supervision by claiming it is better for the child reeks of misogyny and can have devastating consequences. It is especially concerning when this comes from men, who have no business asserting authority over women’s bodies. Later, they discuss how Africans are physically superior due to being “undomesticated”. One even comments how he wishes he had a broad nose like an African because he’d be able to breath better. I’m not of African descent, but the discussion made me very uncomfortable. This is the same old “white people are domesticated, brown people are primitive” racist trope, except now it’s OK to say because they claim white people should strive to be more like indigenous peoples. Women again enter the discussion when the topic of breast cancer is brought up. They claim breast cancer can be prevented with diet. While there is clearly a link between diet and cancer, it’s ridiculous to blame women for cancer because they ate the wrong diet (and what is this magic diet? They never say). I have seen this type of thinking lead to eating disorders, especially among females, who obsess over the perfect diet that will prevent all disease, eat an extremely restricted diet, and end up in worse health due to the mental and physical toll. One of the guys even says breast cancer is like a book, and all you have to do is not read it. This is inaccurate and very offensive to those who have had breast cancer. Towards the end, one guy makes a comment that people should not follow pediatricians’ advice, and those who do so are “domesticated”. For those of you with children- please listen to your doctor and not people online with no medical credentials. Don’t gamble with your kids’ lives. I can not believe how they can casually give out this irresponsible advice. There are many scientific and anthropological inaccuracies throughout the podcast which I won’t get into. My advice- get your biological and anthropological information from actual scientists, not from white guys who romanticize a particular period of time in human history.

Vitalis conducts Important Conversations with fascinating individuals doing great work; BUT, I find that his personality and perspective leave much to be desired. Many of his implied or stated beliefs, particularly his technophilia and his animosity towards leftist rewilders, lead me to question his motives. And let’s not mention his fondness for the infamous ethno-nationalist / eco-fascist Jack Donovan, who he will vehemently deny supporting despite recommending his books. Daniel’s guests, in general, have lots of valuable information to share. Just maybe take most of what he says with a grain of salt.

This is a tough one. I have gained a lot from listening to some of these podcasts due to the guests but the interviewer is a fascinating yet very uncomfortable example of certain types of humans who truly believe they are awakened and yet have blind spots the size of the Grand Canyon. Much like Sam Harris kind of a classic clueless white dude with a big audience. One of the most telling examples is that Daniel uses an e collar(what folks who use e collars like to say) an e collar is a shock collar. He says he likes to think of it as texting his dog. Interesting when I get a text I don’t get an end truck shock. A very clear cognitive distortion of folks not able to see clearly. Also look into the allegations of sexual assault in his back ground. Eyes wide open, take what is useful leave the rest but let’s not gurusize people.

I just finished listening to every single episode of this podcast. To say that this podcast "changed my life" is cliché, so let me be more specific. This podcast changed the way I brush my teeth, the way I shower, how I sleep, how I adjust the seat in my car, how I exercise, and how I do yard work. I would say that it changed the way I eat, but I was already on the wild food path. What I will say is that it has enhanced my knowldge of why wild foods are so important. This podcast, in my opinion, contains vital information on what it means to be a human animal, and how to be the best human that you can be.

At first I have to admit, I was turned off by Daniel's confidence (or overconfindnece), but the show grew on me. I will say that I would like to hear more vulnerability from Daniel, I want to know what he struggles with? What are his growing edges, fears, delimas. I have been struggling to live a life true to my passions and dreams for over a decade now. I am sold on the ideas presented here. What I long for is to hear real, true to life stories, I want to hear the gold and the shadows the solutions and the struggles. Thank you all for producing this awesome podcast!

I discovered this show a few months ago, and every episode is reshaping the way I think about my body and the earth. Daniel has a nice voice and a very listenable style (for me), and his selection of guests is top-notch. This show is the care manual that I've always wished my body came with, and as a 29-year-old, I feel like I'm learning some of these things just in time. I am less afraid of aging now that I know most ailments come from stupid things we don't critically evaluate, like our shoes, glasses, posture, sleeping surfaces, sunscreen... jump in anywhere that sounds interesting and start making changes at your own pace to dramatically improve your wellbeing and connection with your body. Thanks Daniel, for this awesome show and for sharing your lifestyle with us.

And I do not use the phrase lightly. Whether you agree with Daniel's views or not, the exposure to quality guests, thought provoking content, and an overall challenge to interact with one's environment in a way that promotes greater health is well worth the time and attention. I have been listening for a couple of years and I think I've heard all of the episodes, but was slow to get on my computer and review the show (sorry, Daniel). Despite that being a wrap on this incredible archive of discussion and transformation (for Daniel and I'm sure his listeners), it's well worth it to dig in and listen to all of the past episodes. If anyone is new to this show and looking for starting points, I would highly recommend anything with Arthur Haines—it's pure gold. Thanks for your work and very much looking forward to the new, Wild-fed, project.

Daniel is so amazingly knowledgable, honest, caring, curious, and genuine. I just discovered these podcasts and have been loving it. So so grateful that this is out there.

For sure one of the best podcast available! The information, guest, and Daniel himself can really change your life and lives of everyone you know for the better!

Daniel Vitalis and a list of incredible guests bring the concept of “rewilding” to life in a very thought provoking and enjoyable way. Ostensibly the wild food angle is the doorway in, but discussions about sexuality, philosophy, economics, and self-care fill out the picture of this primal vital way of being. I love that I can take concepts away from here to apply and practice in my own life. Though I doubt I’ll ever go as deeply as this guy. Congrats on your recent marriage btw DV, you are an inspiration to my husband and me.

Great information to change your life for the better. I am now inspired to eat bugs and be naked outside. Thanks Daniel

I look forward to my drive home every day and to work so I can get a chance to listen to this station. I constantly am eager to learn new ways to better my life and my family’s life of living and this podcast constantly amazes me with things I never knew! I’ve grown up in the woods and how important it is to live a healthy, clean life and listening to people that have the same passions I do is truly inspiring!

I just found your podcasts about 6 months ago and have been feverishly listening to them. I have learned so many valuable things that I can use in many parts of my life! I'm sad to see this series end but look forward to hearing what you do next! How long will these podcasts be available? I hope you will let us know if they will be going away!

Don't have itunes, borrowed friend's phone to leave this review because this podcast has changed my life in the most beautiful way. Thank you Daniel and team

Ancestral eating has become increasing popular, but so many other aspects of ancestral living getting very little discussion. This show has really challenged some of my perspective on a variety of facets of modern life. I have been called to question elements that I never realized were just more examples of being a domesticated human. Keep up the podcast! I really find it thought provoking.

Explore these podcasts filled with loads of fascinating and intellectually poignant interviews! If you’re looking for interesting conversations filled with a dynamic array of guests then you’ve found the right place. Thanks Daniel!!

Something always felt off when listening to this podcast. I was passionate about the topic, however, so I continued to listen. As time went on, I realized Vitalis is an egotistical sexist masquerading as an expert at all things he speaks of, most of which he is just learning about himself. His own pride and desire to be seen a certain way is evident to anyone who truly listens, and makes his podcast and any of his writings less credible and authentic. On top of this, his worldview comes from that of an isolated white man who believes he is a victim of racism since he holds many inherent privileges in his gender and race that others don't, even taking into account his difficult upbringing. Summary: his wildly sexist views and chest-beating ego overshadow any good that can come from his advice on connecting with nature and getting back to basics. There are many others you can go to instead as a source.

Great information, very interesting! I was really loving it. However, after listening for a while, it is apparent that misogyny and white fragility are very present. Was hoping for so much more in terms of relating present issues with rewilding, deeply disappointing.

This podcast is spectacular. A comprehensive re-examining of our lifestyle with a clear and positive guideline for change.

Daniel, thank you for doing what you do. I have been listening to your podcast for about a year and it has been nothing short of revolutionary. Guests like Katy Bowman, Nadine, Doniga, and Kimmy (in particular) have inspired me beyond belief.

I have been listenimng to these podcasts for over a year now ...I have learned so much of things that make perfct sense ...this is seriously deeply healthy information . Growing up in the country side of switzerland , I was lucky to eat from the garden . We preserved lots for the winter too . I never used to think how lucky I was . And I always loved to forage when possible ...but Daniel Vitals took this to the next level and really brings home how seperated our whole culture is from nature in so many ways ....these podcasts are so refreshing and libarating ...i want to shout out a huge YES and THANK YOU !

Unfortunately I can't sing this podcast the praises that all of the other vitalis fans do. Time after time I begin an episode because I want to listen to the thoughts of an exciting guest and am constantly left frustrated by Daniel's lack of interviewing etiquette. This should be called the Daniel show with a side helping of guest input. Daniel is consistently interjecting to talk about himself. Not to mention the self promotion of his "Surthrival" line which is his product line featuring the same farmed products (colostrum/bone broth) which he so openly puts down in commentary. It's a bit confusing to hear an apparent "die hard rewilder" profiting from farmed products which he doesn't even produce himself. All in all, a great theory for a podcast with excellent guests and an egotistical host who needs some lessons on how to conduct an interview.

Probably my favorite health podcast. Fantastic perspective, wonderful insights that have implications for human health and perhaps just as importantly, improving our relationship with our natural environment. This is huge and no one else seems to be talking about it. However, like all health podcasts, blogs, and commentators out there - everyone seems to be selling something. This raises obvious concerns about the motivations behind the material and biases being expressed. I understand $ gotta come from somewhere, and I actually use a couple of daniel’s products but I still think this model is a real shame. This philosphy expressed on this podcast is desperately need in the world today, and I fear that these motivations undermine its credibility and salience to the wider audiences that need to be reached to have a broader positive impact on these issues. I’m also disappointed by some of the show’s guests, who seem to be on only to promote their products and have little scientific justification to back them up. I would suggest that perhaps a patreon donation structure or non-related sponsors could help resolve a lot of these concerns for me. Despite these criticisms though there are still many many other great guests on this show (including the host) who bring some much needed and well defended insights.

I began listening to Daniel Vitalis in Rewild Yourself this past summer. It's been a breath of fresh air to hear from like-minded people who want to [re-]connect with nature and what fundamentally makes us thrive as human beings. This podcast helps me stay grounded when I feel myself sinking into the toxicity of society and losing touch with who I am. Every day is another struggle, but Daniel reminds me of all the possibilities to thrive and gives me hope that I will one day live the life I've always wanted. He provides direction and access to all the tools that make those goals possible! Thank you Daniel!

Amazing

This podcast has changed my life, thank you Daniel Vitalis! I no longer feel alone in my desire to reconnect with nature on all levels of my being. Every podcast is entirely different, incredibly resourceful, and it has connected me with an entire community of like-minded humans. Much love and appreciation!

Thanks for having Ben back! Such an intelligence and comforting-ness to his words. Perfect listening as autumn rolls in. Keep it up guys! Can't wait to keep learning more and apply these snippets of wisdom.

Very educational programming.

In a very thoughtful and intelligent way, Daniel pulls back the green curtain of Oz and opens the Pandora's box of the civilized world, revealing that we are actually not civilized, we are, as he likes to say, domesticated. Life changing information that can and will have a profound impact on you, your friends and family and hopefully everyone you know, I dare you to listen! Thank you Daniel and keep up the great work!

This is top notch cutting edge material

Daniel and I are the exact same age. Born on the same month, day, and year. I can relate to him on every level. He's the main reason I became interested in health and wellness. I love every single episode he's ever done. His guests are phenomenal. He is an amazing person. I strive to be just like him.

I hardly ever take the time to write reviews, but after listening to about a dozen different podcasts, I was definitely compelled to speak out. I initially found out about his company when I had nerve damage and my doctors did NOTHING (shocker). Anyhow, the elk antler is what helped me regain feeling in my leg along with movement. Scary to go through at any age, especially, the age of 32. Overall, I love his variety of topics. From sexual health, female empowerment, and foot health, as I listened, I not only sad aw ha many times, but even laughed. I never felt overwhelmed by the information and the technical breakdown, but then again, I have medical training and have been a "patient" for years....trying to Not be a patient. I also enjoyed the podcast on breast health. Just like different "bandaids" we use on our bodies, they deplete their natural ability to regenerate and maintain naturally. If I had used crutches for too long or ankle braces, I would not be walking. Pilates has taught me a lot about barefoot health. As tedious as it can be, I use thick banded rubber bands and many other foot tools to exercise my feet! Loved this podcast. I could go on and onnnnnn. I believe my feet got messed up from wearing arch supports for years, bc I knew no different. Anyway, anyone can value from this podcast for preventative or general health maintenance. I appreciate the honesty and lack of sponsorship driven information that you will not find here. Wonderful knowledge seeker, sharer, etc, along with great guests.

I recently was turned on to ReWild Yourself and it has instantly become my go to podcast. I have deep gratitude to Danial Vitalis for creating this illuminating show. The earth is screaming for our attention and his exploration of what I would call 'original wisdom' gives us an entry way into healing of the world around us.

This show is what I look forward to on a Wednesday. It's inspiring and informational in a tightly woven basket. I love the guests that are invited and the topics discussed. The motive/mission, I can totally align with. Every single show has opened a different door for me and my life has been changed. I'm left feeling motivated and inspired to make changes and try new things in my life. Really cool things and fun things! Fulfilling things! It's just super. I love this idea of rewilding, it just makes sense. Give this show a listen. Scroll until something pops out to you and get hooked! It's a good addiction. Thank you Daniel for the great work and thanks to the guests for the things you know and share! Good day😏 -Wyatt from Oregon

This is my favourite podcast. I have never found a voice/person who I enjoyed hearing in my head! Daniel does such a great job of bringing true Masters to his show. My favourite being Nadine Artemis. I especially love the beginning of each episode where Daniel divulges snippets of his personal life and what is happening with him. This show has something for everyone. This show also deeply dives into taboo topics such as human sexuality, health, diet and self care. Daniel is not afraid to go there. Such a great show!!

Like foreal though
