Most health advice is focused primarily on treating the symptoms of long-term health issues — often leading to limited results or unwanted side effects. At Ancestra Health, we look deeper. Our science-backed approach aims to resolve the root cause, rather than just managing the symptoms.
To do this, our AI Health Assessment tool identifies the root causes of your problems. Our app then guides you in creating a personalized action plan to address the problem at its core through holistic lifestyle changes.
Our knowledge base includes over 100 action items to choose from, like eating a nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory diet, frequent physical activities, improving sleep hygiene, stress management techniques, or regular sun exposure. All of these lifestyle suggestions are grounded in evidence from cutting-edge medical research and guided by evolutionary science and ancestral health principles.
A quick comparison
We concentrate on chronic conditions, often referred to as “diseases of civilization”, rather than acute illnesses. These diseases typically arise from long-term lifestyle-environment mismatches.

Ancestra Health offers a globally unique, science-backed approach to chronic health issues, blending principles into a finely tuned, holistic method.
Our app may help to identify and address the root causes of your chronic health problems.
Our app may help to identify and address the root causes of your chronic health problems. Our specialized AI, trained using cutting-edge science, uses your health-related data (symptoms, test results, lifestyle, etc.) to assess your health. In the next step, our app suggests actions which may help to to improve your health issues, then tracks your progress towards becoming healthier. Most often, reversing the root causes is enough for healing.
Unlike our methodology, mainstream medicine primarily focuses on relieving symptoms, which rarely leads to a cure for chronic diseases. The side effects of such methods can be severe and may contribute to the development of additional diseases.
For example, instead of only treating reflux with acid blockers, we explore the underlying causes, such as diet, medication use and alcohol consumption, among others.
We view the body as an interconnected network.
We view the body as an interconnected network. The gut, immune, hormone, energy systems, as well as the brain communicate; changing one variable can shift the entire network. Symptoms and lab results are not isolated indicators of disease, but rather reflections of deeper, underlying mechanisms that can manifest in multiple ways.
Our method combines your symptoms, lab results, lifestyle habits, and other factors to provide personalized lifestyle recommendations.
For example, chronic inflammation in the body caused by gut issues can manifest as joint pain, high blood pressure, elevated inflammation marker levels in lab results, cardiovascular disease, depression, or any other chronic disease.
Our recommendations prioritize diet and lifestyle changes over medications and supplements.
Our recommendations prioritize diet and lifestyle changes over medications and supplements. In most cases, these changes outperform drugs, and often even surgical interventions. Their benefits tend to last longer and carry no side effects—or, when side effects occur, they’re usually temporary and minimal. At the same time, most drugs may cause unwanted symptoms and can contribute to other diseases. Therefore pharmaceutical drugs should be the last resort.
For example, in type 2 diabetes, targeted dietary changes that include lowering overall carbohydrates, especially quick-absorbing ones, can heal insulin resistance, normalize blood sugar, and reverse most diabetic complications. The intervention eliminates, or at least reduces, the need for medication. Adding regular exercise and/or sufficient fasting windows often accelerates this healing process.
Most chronic diseases stem from a mismatch between our inherited biology, shaped by evolution, and our modern industrialized lifestyle.
Most chronic diseases stem from a mismatch between our inherited biology, shaped by evolution, and our modern industrialized lifestyle.
Humans followed a hunter-gatherer lifestyle for almost two million years. Our ancestors adapted to environments characterized by whole foods with low carbohydrate content, physical activity, and natural light. In contrast, today’s sedentary, high-stress lifestyles, combined with the consumption of ultra-processed carbohydrates and toxic additives, create health imbalances. Our human ancestors followed a hunter-gatherer lifestyle for almost two million years. Farming emerged approximately 12,000 years ago and gradually became widespread. Since then, the development of new foods has been accelerated by new methods in agriculture and the food industry. These changes were beneficial for human expansion, but their long-term impact on the individuals’ health was often negative. Our biology can’t keep up with the speed of change. Most of us are Ice Age bodies running on soda and cereal — and it shows. To fix our health issues, we should align our lifestyle to our biology.
Chronic conditions like obesity, insulin resistance, or cancer are almost nonexistent in traditional hunter-gatherer societies, but are common and strike at increasingly younger ages in industrialized populations.
Medical science is rife with conflicting claims, often resting on weak evidence.
Medical science is rife with conflicting claims, often resting on weak evidence. Researchers frequently operate in silos, overlooking insights from other teams and related fields. The field is further burdened by biases rooted in personal beliefs and the financial interests of study sponsors. Such biased research has a huge indirect impact on dietary guidelines, the decisions of health practitioners, and patients. Try comparing the old food pyramid with the new one (Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030): "New dietary guidelines flip the food pyramid".
Our Medical Research Team works to resolve these issues using critical thinking and by building a coherent knowledge base that integrates the ideas best supported by other fields, drawing on evidence from medicine, evolution, archaeology, and genetics.

Because health research can be messy—short studies, hard-to-control lifestyles, biased funding, and overreliance on weak observational data—we treat “evidence” carefully.
We compare multiple types of data (human studies, animal studies, and real-world experiences) and seek biologically meaningful patterns, not merely statistically significant ones. To translate research into practical guidance, the Ancestra Health app uses an in-house built, special type of AI, a Bayesian Network—a structured model that links hundreds of health factors and estimates probabilities (e.g., how strongly a sign may predict a condition).
