I'm eating only wild food for 3 months for science! Participants must fund our own blood & gut microbiome tests to take part in the project.

by Lisa Cutcliffe in Leeds, England, United Kingdom

From April to June 2025, over 100 foragers worldwide are volunteering to eat only wild food, to gather data on the effects of a wild diet on the gut microbiome, health parameters, our bodies and our minds. To get this data, we are all using the same lab for a full spectrum blood test before and right after the project period and also collecting gut samples throughout, to monitor changes as we switch from a modern diet to a more ancient one. Our hair and nail clippings will also be analysed for isotopes, it's all very exciting... and it costs money. Everyone volunteering for the study is doing so because they believe this will reveal important findings about human nutrition and health, and presents a very unique opportunity to study so many foragers all at once. 

This crowdfunder is to cover my own blood and gut microbiome tests before and after the 3 months of wild food, and any extra money raised will go to a central pot towards other costs for the project & test costs for other participants who need support to reach their donations target.
