Will Saturated Fat Kill Your Cells?
December 13, 2017 20:00 - 6 minutes - 15 MBNo matter what kind of evidence comes out to the contrary, the anti-saturated fat sect won’t relinquish its dogma. Whenever its advance is rebuffed—perhaps by an observational study showing the lack of relations between saturated fat intake and heart disease, or a study showing the beneficial effects of saturated fat on multiple health markers—they regroup and try another route. The latest is a study that several readers sent to me, worried that the attack had finally made it through the def...
#202(Keto): Are You Ready for Keto?
December 13, 2017 18:15 - 30 minutes - 24.6 MBHost Brad Kearns talks about his first failed attempt at keto (lasted 3 weeks doing really great, then a bomb-out at the Burbank Airport snack shop!), and how you can ensure that you are well-prepared for keto before struggling, suffering and backsliding. If you’re nervous about your metabolic fitness and whether you can handle the rigor of a ketogenic eating period, realize that any effort you make in the direction of fat- and keto-adaptation will improve your metabolic fitness and progress...

#200 (Keto): The Comprehensive Approach of The Keto Reset Diet
December 07, 2017 05:55 - 10 minutes - 8.34 MBHost Brad Kearns talks about the methodical process outlined in The Keto Reset Diet and the Keto Reset multimedia online course, where you progress steadily away from carbohydrate dependency and toward fat- and keto-adaptation without the struggling, suffering, and backsliding that typically occurs when you fail to do your homework or follow an ill-conceived approach. This overview shows covers the 21-Day Metabolism Reset, where you ditch grains, sugars, and refined vegetable oils in favor o...
Why Aren’t We Talking About the Cognitive Health Crisis?
December 04, 2017 20:37 - 9 minutes - 21.1 MBIf you look at the latest stats, you might assume there’s no cognitive health crisis. The overall number of dementia cases are going up, but that’s because the aging population is growing. Older folks are living longer than ever before, so there are more people around who can develop dementia. Dementia and Alzheimer’s rates are dropping in the Western world. Politicians, those archetypical paragons of cognitive aptitude, are hanging around in office longer than ever. Technology, science, and...
#199: Ken Berry, MD
December 04, 2017 15:55 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBElle Russ chats with Ken Berry, MD, about his new book Lies My Doctor Told Me. Have your doctors lied to you? Chances are they have, and most likely unknowingly. If you've been misled by bad medical advice your health will suffer. It is time you discover the truth. Medical research is expanding so quickly that only the most dedicated doctors can keep up with it all. Is your doctor that dedicated? Lies My Doctor Told Me reveals the truth behind the lies told by well-meaning doctors. Whether i...
21 Books to Begin 2018
November 30, 2017 20:00 - 13 minutes - 30.7 MBThe book is an ancient technology whose importance has only increased in modern times. With a book, you gain access to another person’s mind or life experiences. That’s hard to beat. People who aren’t reading are really selling themselves short and missing out on an enjoyable pastime as well as a leg up on the competition. Here are some fantastic books to dig into this coming year. Most of them are new and deal with health, fitness, and nutrition. Others are about history, productivity, or...

The Health Toll of Financial Stress
November 28, 2017 20:00 - 9 minutes - 80.8 MB application/octet-streamSure, this post comes right on the heels of Cyber Monday…but is there ever a perfect time for a message like this? Yes, I run a business, but I still don’t mind kicking the cultural hornet’s nest. Some things don’t change. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t contradiction. Here I am doing my own holiday shopping today (don’t tell Carrie)—and offering my own deals to those who are interested. The holidays—with all the shopping and parties and prep—are fun. No doubt. Simultaneously, I know fin...
#197: Jacques Devore
November 27, 2017 15:55 - 45 minutes - 36.1 MBMark Sisson chats with Jacques DeVore about his book Bicycling Maximum Overload for Cyclists - a radical strength-based training program aimed at increasing cycling speed, athletic longevity, and overall health in half the training time. Rather than improving endurance by riding longer distances, you’ll learn how to do it by reducing your riding time and adding heavy strength and power training. Traditionally cyclists and endurance athletes have avoided strength and power training, believing...
14 Healthier Ways to Spend Black Friday
November 21, 2017 20:00 - 8 minutes - 20.1 MBFor most of my life, Thanksgiving was spared the overt commercialization of the other holidays. Christmas has the gifts, Halloween the candy and costumes, Valentine’s the chocolates, roses, jewelry, and guilt—perfect avenues for commercial interests. But Thanksgiving genuinely felt different, as if it was only about getting together with friends and relatives over a crispy-skinned bird and offering gratitude for what we had and who was still with us. These days, commercialization has crash...
#196: Cindy Lu & Earl Martin
November 20, 2017 16:13 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBElle Russ chats with husband and wife team Cindy Lu and Earl Martin who founded Malibu Essential Oils in 2013. After experiencing profound personal benefits, their curiosity led them to become Internationally Certified Aromatherapists. Now they blend both their classical training with modern essential oil usage which includes internal applications. They are education driven, teaching classes weekly in various locations. They believe that aromatherapy is a healing art and they enjoy helping t...
Collagen for Skin: The Truth Behind the Benefits
November 16, 2017 20:02 - 11 minutes - 27.2 MBIt’s easy to get into the habit of assuming that certain things “just happen” as we get older. As the years pile up, we brace ourselves for brittle bones, expanding waistlines, failing eyesight—and a propensity for falling asleep in front of the T.V. Statistically speaking, they do loom largely. This is what we often see around us after all. But, of course, we know it’s not the whole story. We certainly can resign ourselves to a common fate, but that’s probably not why anyone is reading to...
#195: Chris Kresser
November 15, 2017 15:55 - 48 minutes - 39.2 MBMark Sisson chats with Chris Kresser about his new book Unconventional Medicine. The world is facing the greatest healthcare crisis it has ever seen. Chronic disease is shortening our lifespan, destroying our quality of life, bankrupting governments, and threatening the health of future generations. Sadly, conventional medicine, with its focus on managing symptoms, has failed to address this challenge. The result is burned-out physicians, a sicker population, and a broken healthcare system. ...
Top 10 Paleo Apps
November 09, 2017 20:00 - 8 minutes - 19.3 MB"Apps aren’t paleo, Sisson. Grok waited for days for aurochs to wander within spear-chucking range, not overnight for the release of the iPhone X.” True. But this is the world we live in. These are the tools we have. If you’re going to lug around an addictive piece of tech in your pocket all day, it might as well contain some apps that make living healthy and living Primal easier, rather than harder. What follows are some of the best paleo/Primal apps I’ve found. Some I use, some I don’t. ...
The Insulin-Illness Connection
November 08, 2017 20:00 - 8 minutes - 20.5 MBMost discussion of chronically-elevated insulin levels (hyperinsulinemia) and insulin resistance revolves around their relationship to bodyweight. This is unsurprising. Bodyweight’s what “sells tickets.” It’s why most people get interested in diet, health, fitness, and nutrition—to lose weight or avoid gaining it. But improving insulin sensitivity and reducing fasting insulin levels have major ramifications for your health, longevity, and resistance to disease. And it’s not just because “w...

7 Subjective Longevity Markers to Track (and Fix)
November 07, 2017 21:40 - 9 minutes - 21.1 MBA few weeks ago, I went over 7 of the most important longevity biomarkers to track. Today, I’m shifting gears a bit. The theme remains longevity markers, but the markers I’ll discuss today are subjective, logistical, and psychological ones. A couple involve physical sense but you can’t measure these with a blood draw or a lab scan. The only way to assess your standing is through some genuine self-experiment and honest soul-searching. Or by, in one case, running a mile. (This Mark's Daily A...
Bitters: A Primal Primer
November 07, 2017 20:00 - 15 minutes - 35.7 MBI have a German friend who, after one of her fantastic meals, breaks out her Kräuter and fills aperitif glasses for everyone. To her it’s simply tradition. For the rest of us it’s a pleasant extension of her unmatched hospitality—and a welcome end to a heavy dinner. Digestive bitters have been used for centuries as a highly effective way to boost digestive capacity, and naturally occurring digestive compounds in foods have been an integral part of our ancestral diets since day one. My frie...
6 Ways Primal Types Can Observe Halloween
November 02, 2017 21:58 - 7 minutes - 16.2 MBI’ll take the holiday bait today. It’s true…with its emphasis on candy consumption, many Primal types feel lost on Halloween. They don’t know what to do with themselves. The costumes are fun, and being with friends is always a good time, but how should they react to all that sugar? It’s a hard thing. Luckily, today I have 6 ways you can observe Halloween while staying true to your Primal roots. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)

How Does the Keto Reset Fit Into the Primal Blueprint?
October 26, 2017 19:18 - 6 minutes - 15.6 MBToday I’m going to address a big question some of you have been asking in the comment boards and via email: Where does the Primal Blueprint eating plan fit into the Keto Reset diet? It’s a good question. An expected one. It’s true that I’ve been focusing almost entirely on the Keto Reset in 2017. I’m passionate about it. I truly believe it can help almost everyone, and I want to get the word out to as many people as possible. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson,...

Gender Bias in Medical Research: How It Operates and Why It Matters
October 18, 2017 20:29 - 15 minutes - 35.8 MBSome months ago the issue of gender bias in medical research came up on the comment board. It was certainly an issue I’d occasionally read about. But I’m also a proponent of lifestyle design and intervention. I don’t spend as much time as others on the nitty-gritty of medical treatment for good reason, but the conversation got me thinking. Maybe it was time for an article after all…. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)
The Lowdown on Keto Side Effects: What’s Real, What’s Not, and What’s Helpful
October 18, 2017 19:00 - 12 minutes - 27.7 MBWith more people enthusiastic about the ketogenic diet comes more talk about potential adverse side effects. Upon closer examination, almost all of the complaints can be traced to a flawed approach. Granted, if you are coming to the game with significant metabolic damage from decades of carbohydrate dependency, or not paying attention to some common sense best practices, such as choosing healthy foods instead of blindly focusing on macros, you will likely struggle with something as stringent...
#191: Dr. Steven Gundry
October 18, 2017 14:55 - 1 hour - 97.3 MBElle Russ chats with Steven Gundry, M.D.—who during his 40-year medical career performed over 10,000 heart surgeries and developed patented, life-saving medical technology.

7 Longevity Biomarkers to Track
October 13, 2017 16:51 - 10 minutes - 23.8 MBLast year, I wrote about 10 of the most interesting predictors of longevity. Many of them were subjective, but, as we all know, the objective physiological processes that occur in the human body also predict how long we live. Luckily, we can measure most of them. Some are standard at doctor’s checkups. Some require more involved (and expensive) testing. Some you can complete yourself at home with simple household objects. But if you care at all about how well you’re doing in the longevity ...
Enzyme Supplements: Uses, Suggestions, and Alternatives
October 13, 2017 01:10 - 15 minutes - 36 MBFew would disagree that a Primal way of life advocates simplicity above all else. Nutritious foods, strategic movement, and an aversion to stress bordering on (healthy) obsession. This “simple is good” mentality works swimmingly most of the time. Aligning our lifestyle to our evolved biology allows us to achieve a modern semblance of that all-important homeostasis, and I generally see no reason to tinker if it ain’t broke. But, unfortunately, it’s not always black and white…. (This Mar...

What I’ve Learned from Eating Abroad
October 10, 2017 22:11 - 9 minutes - 21.3 MBI’ve been lucky enough to travel to interesting places. The trips I’ve taken in the last 10-15 years, during my “Primal period,” have been the most meaningful, rewarding, and downright enjoyable because I’ve been able to view other cultures and customs through the prism of health, nutrition, and human evolution. I bring something back every trip—a tip, an insight, an alteration of an existing conviction. Travel abroad isn’t just a good time. It’s educational. What have I learned eating abr...
Where I Part Ways with the Popular Keto Movement
October 04, 2017 19:00 - 7 minutes - 17.8 MBThe explosive growth of interest in the ketogenic diet has been a net good for the state of nutrition. For one, people have accepted the fact that eating fat won’t kill you, and they’re even getting clued into the benefits of eating it. But there are places where I part ways with the popular keto movement. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)

These are things that apply to everyone, as far as I can tell. They won’t fix every problem, but they’re good places to start. Whether you’re a post-menopausal woman, a 21-year-old bodybuilder worried about overtraining, or a thyroid patient, these interventions can’t hurt and will probably help. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)
Testosterone Supplementation: My Primal Take
September 27, 2017 18:43 - 7 minutes - 18.2 MBAfter I turned 60, a routine checkup showed that I had lower-than-normal free testosterone levels. I hadn’t noticed anything that would have alerted me. No symptoms. No indication. Everything worked well. But it nagged at me. I knew testosterone did much more for a man’s health than just “build muscle”—which I had no real interest in at this point—so I decided to explore TRT, or testosterone replacement therapy. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated b...
#188: Rohini Ross

6 Food Products I Love to Hate and 5 I Just Love
September 26, 2017 19:00 - 8 minutes - 20.3 MBAny old time readers remember the Fuming Fuji? He was the lovable yet ornery food critic of early MDA who railed against chocolate milk, cocoa puffs, chicken fries, applesauce (he was seriously biased here), and frozen waffles. He’d get a little carried away, and we eventually had to put him down (ironically, by turning him into applesauce), but his heart was in the right place. Today, I’m paying homage to the Fuming Fuji by having a little fun with some of today’s more absurd food offerings...

What Primal Types Can Learn from Plant-Based Diets (and Dieters)
September 19, 2017 19:00 - 10 minutes - 24.2 MBI joke around a lot and give them hell, but I have love and respect for plant-based diets and the people who eat them. These folks come at health from an entirely different place, and, it’s true, I don’t think their diets are optimal. I think they get a lot wrong. They often misconstrue what Primal is all about. I’ve even received threats from some of the less grounded members of the community, though I know that these are the outliers, the extremists, and I never took them seriously. But…...
Why Am I Getting Low Ketone Readings on a Ketogenic Diet?
September 13, 2017 19:00 - 10 minutes - 23 MBEven having finished and printed The Keto Reset, the quest for deeper understanding continues. I keep researching, thinking, revisiting, and discussing the science and practice of ketosis. My writing partner, Brad Kearns, and I maintain a running dialogue on all things keto. The latest conversation revolved around two very common questions or “problems” that keep coming up in the ketogenic community.Why do some people on a keto diet blow high numbers of ketones while others eating the same w...

9 Factors That Influence Testosterone Levels
September 12, 2017 21:03 - 15 minutes - 35.8 MBIn the last several weeks testosterone has come up on a pretty regular basis. I’ve written about it before, of course, but there’s something about the novel elements (e.g. solar irradiation for certain choice body parts) in recent conversations that’s kept the exchange going. I thought I’d pull back from the peripheral findings a bit today and re-center the discussion. As you know, testosterone plays a pivotal role not just for libido levels (although we won’t leave that out), but also fo...
8 Tips for Cooking Vegetables
September 12, 2017 19:00 - 10 minutes - 24.7 MBThis spring when I asked what nutrition topics folks would be interested in reading about on the blog, the subject of vegetables came up repeatedly. Specifically, several readers wanted more ideas for how to cook them—with a mind to preserving (or enhancing) both nutrition and taste. As much as I love my big-ass salads, I get it. Sometimes you need to mix it up, and moving toward the cooler seasons only underscores the point. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and...

Two Final (and Favorite) Adaptogens: Rhodiola Rosea and Bacopa Monnieri
August 29, 2017 19:00 - 18 minutes - 42.5 MBI’ve taken up the subject of adaptogens over the last several weeks, and today I’m wrapping it up with two of my favorites: Rhodiola rosea and Bacopa monnieri. Primal aficionados from way back will know that I’m a big fan of Rhodiola rosea. It’s an integral component of one of the original Primal Blueprint supplements, Primal Calm. It’s a formula I put together for my own needs and eventually decided to offer in the supplement line. (That seems to be how I come up with things, I suppose….)...
Is Keto Bad for the Thyroid?
August 23, 2017 19:00 - 7 minutes - 17.8 MBKeto is fantastic, everyone says. It’s a great way to lose weight, improve cognition, and stave off degenerative disease. It may help your performance in the gym and on the track. It could even give Grandpa some respite from Alzheimer’s. But it’s hell on your thyroid. Right? Keto detractors and proponents alike often warn that remaining in ketosis will tank your thyroid. The thyroid’s an important gland, exerting major influence over essential systems like fertility, energy, metabolism, ...

CrossFit Training: How to Support Overall Wellness and Longevity with Primal
August 17, 2017 21:41 - 9 minutes - 21.2 MBThere are some who hold the view that at birth, each of us is allotted a finite supply of energy which exercise depletes, thus hastening our demise. An intense regimen like CrossFit, in this paradigm, would hasten a person’s demise. That’s wrong, of course. Those who remain sedentary their entire lives often have short, miserable ones, while regular exercisers enjoy better health throughout their time on earth. Exercise has real potential to prolong life and compress morbidity. But it is a...
Is There a Problem with Weight Loss Culture?
August 16, 2017 19:00 - 7 minutes - 17.3 MBThe article doesn’t come to a neat conclusion. There’s no prescription at the end. It meanders. It explores. It’s messy. I think that’s exactly how most people feel when trying to tackle this diet/health/bodyweight/eating thing: confused, lost, conflicted, overwhelmed.Go look at the comment section from the article, and you’ll see that pretty much everyone got something different from it. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)
