Ancient Nutrition with Maker's Diet Author Jordan Rubin - PMR #128

  The Paleo community is, by and large, a secular universe. We frame our perspectives on health and healing in terms of evolutionary mismatches, and lean heavily on science to explain the unfolding of our lives, But most of the worlds population has another world view, one that places god at the center of the universe. It's often assumed that these two worlds, the secular and the spiritual, are mutually exclusive, but is that necessarily true? Can someone believe in the almighty and in ...

Paleo Radio Bites 41 - Does This Gluten Make Me Look Fat?

Gluten is the main protein found it wheat and it's what gives bread its chewiness and pastries their texture, but despite gluten's gustatory appeal, this particular plant protein has been increasingly implicated in a wide range of health conditions ranging from gut related gluten allergies and celiac's disease to neurological conditions like ALS, epilepsy, and autism. Recently however, Examine.com, the internet's only independent encyclopedia on supplementation and nutrition, broke down ...

How to Scientifically Engineer a Six Pack with Dr Mike T Nelson - PMR #127

  We've seen more than our fair share of gimmicky abdominal exercise machines and over-the-top core training routines. These products and programs consistently promise miraculous results. Six packs in six weeks, inches off your waist with no effort, or improved posture and athletic performance. Do they really work well? Slick marketing can mislead us with doctored before and after photos. Real scientific inquiry is not so easily deceived. In the spirit of deconstructing core training we bro...

Paleo Radio Bites 40 - It's Good to be a Meat Dork

While competing in Korean Crossfit, weightlifting, and powerlifting competitions, Kenneth Chung discovered Paleo but while he was excited to embrace this new lifestyle, he also discovered that sourcing grass-fed meat wasn't easy. A chance job assignment consulting for an international meat packing company gave him a crash course in the meat industry, and in 2012, he joined the team behind Bos Creek, a subscription box service that shipped customized boxes of grass-fed meat nationwide. A...

Growing Healthy Kids from the Ground up with The Dirt Cure author Dr. Maya Shetreat-Klein - PMR #126

Kids today are expected to sit still, pay attention, and behave like little adults and when they don't, they're diagnosed with ADD and medicated with stimulant drugs. But can you really blame them when most of their calories come from processed food and most of their fun comes from a computer or smartphone screen? Just as adults get sick when their modern lifestyles run counter to their ancient DNA kids too suffer and what makes it all worse is the sad fact that most of the medical and ed...

When Aimee Brouillard was a child, she was diagnosed with severe scoliosis and was told that she would never be able to participate in the sports, games, and activities other children her age were able to do.

Rewriting the Cider House Rules with Robert and David Cordtz of the Sonoma Cider Co - PMR #124

The word "cider" has it's roots in the ancient hebrew word sekar, or "strong drink" and as apples moved from the mountains of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, the "strong drink" made from the fermented juice of apples followed. Cider was brought to America by the pilgrims, and for many years, cider was the beverage of choice for peasants and presidents alike. During the early part of the 19th century however, prohibitionists turned their ire towards cider, smashing kegs and uprooting orchards. ...

Paleo Radio Bites 38 - A Meaty Conversation with Butcher Box CEO Mike Salguero

While some people are satisfied with the grain-fed, CAFO raised, industrial meat that is passed off as beef in much of our restaurants and grocery stores, there is a growing demand for something different. In the past, that "something different" might have taken the form of tracking down a local farmer to arrange for the purchase of a "cow share", a whole, half, or quarter steer that required significant freezer space and a big investment. While this, or better yet, growing your own, li...

Making Millions with Momma's Salad Dressing - a Conversation with Tessemaes All Natural Co-Founder Greg Vetter - PMR 123

Everybody knows that mom does it best; whether it's her homemade lasagna, chocolate chip cookies, apple pie, or if you're Tessemae Vetter, a signature salad dressing.

The Ancestral Health Symposium Past and Present with J. Brett Smith and Aaron Blaisdell - PMR #122

If you really want to know why the Paleo lifestyle works so well in combating chronic disease, reversing the aging process, and turning everyday people into fat burning beasts, you'll inevitably encounter a concept called Evolutionary Mismatch. An evolutionary mismatch occurs when our body, a collection of trillions of cells beautifully programmed by millions of years of evolution, encounters something completely unexpected and descends into chaos. In the past evolutionary mismatches arose ...

Energy Systems and Enlightenment with Liz Nierzwicki - PMR #120

One of the idiosyncrasies of the human brain is that it's hardwired to put things into boxes. Not literal boxes necessarily, but figurative boxes. Just think, if you see a person walking past you on the street, you immediately, reflexively, and instinctively categorize them based on qualities like age, gender, skin color, clothing, and attractiveness. From these generalizations, we then extrapolate even further, projecting our own prejudices onto the other person in the form of our expectat...

Mastering Your Mind with Chris Kresser - PMR 115

We spend a lot of time focusing on what we eat, how we move, and how we sleep, but rarely do we discuss who is doing the eating, moving, and sleeping. In other words, we talk about actions, things we do, but not so much about being, who we are. Turning our attention within to the complex and mysterious realm of mind, emotion, and spirit can be challenging, but there is a reason why so many of the great thinkers, entrepreneurs, athletes, and high performers of the world make exploration of th...

My Diet Is Better Than Yours Recap with Abel James & Kurt Morgan - PMR 114

Everyone has heard of The Biggest Loser TV show. It's where they take a group of overweight people, move them out to an isolated compound, pair them with a trainer, and see who can lose the most amount of weight in the shortest amount of time. The show consistently gets huge ratings and it's made a star out of the program's biggest personality, Jillian Michaels. Unfortunately, we see the damage shows like this have done. Losing weight at all cost, only to gain it back, and then some, as man...

All About AIP with Sarah Ballantyne PhD - PMR Eps 113

You've gone Paleo and cut out grains, beans, dairy, industrial seed oils, refined sugar, processed food and crappy animal products. You're eating grass-fed beef, drinking almond milk, and cooking with more herbs and spices, but despite all these changes, you're still not feeling one hundred percent. For most people, going Paleo is enough. For others, it isn't. Years of eating the sad, standard American diet can sometimes cause more damage than standard Paleo can fix, but this doesn't mean al...

In this episode, Tony and Sue discuss: + What c...

Paleo Magazine Radio Episode 110

It's hard to imagine that in a society obsessed with diet soda, reduced fat milk, and lean cuisines that anyone would intentionally try to eat more. Of course many people do overeat, but typically overeating is framed as a failure of self-control, a food addiction, or some other negative psychological or behavioral state. Whether this perspective is valid or not is fodder for a future podcast episode, but the bottom line is that most of us live in a world defined by a level of caloric abund...
