How it works

Our scientific basis: Return to the Optimal Human Diet (OHD)

At Mevis, we base our therapeutic approach on anthropological, bioarchaeological, and evolutionary studies that reveal how humans have eaten for most of their history. This scientific evidence, unencumbered by modern dietary fads, clearly shows us what type of diet allowed our species to develop, adapt, and thrive over millennia.

What do anthropology and bioarchaeology tell us?

Analysis of bone remains, tools, hunting and migration patterns, along with studies of present-day non-industrialized tribes, allows us to reconstruct the Optimal Human Diet (OHD): a diet rich in animal fats and proteins, with very little or no processed carbohydrates, sugars, and industrial vegetable oils.

This dietary model is consistent with our physiology, genetics, and evolution, and stands in stark contrast to the modern diet, which is loaded with ultra-processed foods, additives, refined flours, and hidden sugars. This modern, artificial, and historically recent diet has proven to be suboptimal and incompatible with human metabolic health.

A sick species

The consequences of this diet, which is misaligned with our biology, are increasingly evident: chronic diseases, degenerative disorders, hormonal imbalances, mental health problems, obesity, infertility, type 2 diabetes, cancer, among many other conditions that affect millions of people today.

Traditional medicine often treats the symptoms, but rarely questions the origin of these diseases. At Mevis, we do.

Back to basics: eating like humans

We firmly believe that healing begins when we give the body back the nutrients it needs, in the way we evolved to assimilate them. The Optimal Human Diet (OHD) is not a fad: it is a recovery of ancestral knowledge validated by current science.

When we eat properly—with real, nutrient-dense food, focused on quality animal foods, and accompanied by physiological fasting—the body can return to its natural state of balance and healing. That's the heart of our work.
