A former ancestral health coach. A diabetes diagnosis. A city apartment and a wife who likes bread. Undomesticated is one man's real-time return to primal living; The food, the movement, the wild things, and the messy truth about what happens when you know better but stop living it.

David Atlas is an ancestral health and movement coach and permaculture farmer. After years of living close to the land and helping others reverse metabolic disease through ancestral approaches to food and movement, life pulled him in a different direction. A difficult transition, a new city, and the slow drift of the standard American diet led to a type 2 diabetes diagnosis in 2026.
Instead of keeping it private, he started a podcast. Undomesticated documents his real time return to primal living; from inside a city, on a budget, with a bread-loving spouse; and brings in the best voices in ancestral health, wild food, natural movement, and human rewilding along the way.
David knows this world from the inside. He also knows what it looks like when it falls apart. That combination is what makes Undomesticated worth listening to.
