It’s about time someone talked about this. Our medical doctors (at least most of them) certainly won’t. All they ever do is throw pills at it -- pills that make the pharma companies a ton of money but never truly solve the real problem. I mean, I can’t be the only one frustrated with our take-this-pill-and-come-back-when- you-have-side-effects medical model. These days, more and more people are actively seeking natural solutions for digestive problems, foggy brain, insomnia, depression, and weight gain … Continue reading →

Fitness guy, Max Shippee, getting more into the squat. Enjoy! "I feel like I'm hunched over all the time." "Do you commute?" "Yes." "Do you work at a computer?" "Yes." "Do you have a 'smartphone'?" "Yes." "Then you probably ARE hunched over all the time." Good posture means good health. Having good posture helps you exude confidence, poise, and even sexiness. We often get so bogged down with life, that we forget this spine of ours can really help us … Continue reading →
The last 6 weeks of my life looked something like this: Wake up and immediately begin working from bed on my phone. Shower? What's that? Eat breakfast (that my husband graciously cooked for me) in front of my computer. Sit on my couch next to my dog with my laptop for the next 10-14 hours. Occasionally go to the bathroom. Eat the quickest Paleo meals I could possibly create throughout the day (mostly leftovers from my husband's well-planned meals for … Continue reading →
"It's time for some butt-rubbing!" "Butt rubbing? Um..." "Relax, it's not ME rubbing your butt." "Oh...I was gonna say..." "I know, I know...I haven't even bought you dinner yet." "Haha! Yeah, and -" "Less talking, more squatting." Now that you've got your weight in the right part of your foot, and your knees are tracking correctly, let's talk bout the biggest mover in your body. The hips. A lot of fitness magazines and the like would have us think that … Continue reading →

Last Wednesday evening I arrived in Austin, Texas to attend the PaleoFX Conference. I went to hear all the latest thought trends in the Paleo/Primal worlds, to see old friends, and to make new connections. The event did not disappoint, but I was only able to stay for about 36 hours. Unfortunately, on Friday morning I woke up in a boatload of pain from a neck flare-up and I had to fly home early. I don't know if any of … Continue reading →
This post was written by the wonderfully sleep deprived father of 3... Max Shippee (It's 10:43 pm: why are you still awake?!!!) "I think my squat is pretty good!" "Really? What are your knees doing?" "What do you mean?" "They're all over the place. Doesn't that hurt?" "I just thought I had bad knees." Hello, knees! Building on last week's "Weight in the Heel" post, we're gonna move upstream from the foot, where your weight should be in your heels. … Continue reading →
Yet another person has written a poorly researched article against Paleo. Kimberly Snyder's article is entitled "The Ugly Truth About the Paleo Diet". She's a celebrity nutritionist (that's her in the pic) and has a lot of fans, and that's why I've bothered writing up a retort to her post. It frustrates me to see so many people misinformed by authors they trust, as good as her intentions may have been. Negativity in The Media Her article, along with … Continue reading →
The simple truth is that I don't know. Lemme explain. Whether or not you're trying to lose weight, the amount of fruit you should eat really depends on two things: how active you are and how your particular body responds to carbs. Activity Level If you're an athletic person, you're probably going to need more carbs. More on this in a couple days, but that's all you need to know for now. You're A Unique Snowflake Our bodies really … Continue reading →

Special K, chocolate milk, chicken, regular milk, granola bars, fruit, and veggies. That is, at least for Aly Raisman, the 18 year old team captain of the United States Olympic Women's Gymnastic Team. Here's a video of her showing you what she eats and why. Not so Paleo. My question is simple. What would happen - I mean, how much stronger would these athletes be if they ate Paleo? I wonder that when I see my super strong rock climber friends … Continue reading →
We've been throwing around the idea of making a Paleo calendar, sort of like the firefighters' calendars or the rock climbers' calendars or the (enter awesome thing here) calendars of the world. We were thinking we should have no problem filling 12 months' worth of pages with inspirational, delicious pictures. But not of food; of you. We could fill the pages with before-and-after shots or just fantastic "after" photos showing off the goods that eating Paleo helped you get. They'd … Continue reading →
I'm sure some of you saw the video above from CBN TV about the new miracle potion for Alzheimers? For once, it's not a drug. It's not even a high-carb, low fat diet! Quite the opposite: it's coconut oil and lots of it. The news is breaking that a ketogenic diet can help people with Alzheimer's keep their symptoms at bay. A ketogenic diet is a diet that uses ketones converted from dietary fat instead of carbs as energy. … Continue reading →
So, I've been a TAD bit busy with wedding planning this week. Engagement photos, suit shopping, flower buying, musician procuring, and on and on. Even with only 23 guests, this thing is very stressful! So I've been neglecting my blogging duties, but I'm going to make up for it by telling you about the most interesting things I've heard in the Paleo world lately. Yes, I do still make time for reading my favorite bloggers amidst my chaos! Baby Boy … Continue reading →

We want Paleo options in our local restaurants and we're pretty sure you do, too. Even just a few options would be amazing because I'm honestly tired of eating plain, bunless burgers on a bed of lettuce every time I go out to eat. BORING.
