Send us Fan Mail Really!   I love my iPhone as much as anybody, in fact I was quite an early adopter, seeing the potential in such a technology for greater learning.   As I walked my route (I was a mailman for 38 years), to listen to podcasts actually changed the very nature of the job- I could now turn my long daily walk into a number of university types of lectures.   From Robb Wolfe’s Paleo Sol...

Send us Fan Mail This might seem like a rather strange subject for aPaleo Quick Tip of the Day, but nevertheless, it is a crucialtopic.   To be abalanced paleolithic or ancestral type of person, creating thingsis a big part of being successful.   Men and women are born with aneed to explore and develop their talents, to nurture them alongand create; if you don’t do so, you are setting yourself up...

Send us Fan Mail Recently, I built a time machine!   It was amazing, that first time I fired it up- the rainbows of lights that surrounded me in my little contraption as I spun away through time, into the past.   The walls of my machine were vibrating rapidly, and a strange music of deep, resonant chords seemed to go right through me- and then, with a thud, I landed. I had gone into the past, as p...

Send us Fan Mail One of the most ignored facets of paleo living and even nutrition is our skin!   Not only is our skin the largest organ of our body by far, it is also a great indicator of whether or not we are healthy on the inside of our bodies. Most of us have abused our skin for decades: putting all sorts of lotions, creams, petroleum-based oils and dyes on it in the forms of soap and shampoo,...

Send us Fan Mail Now that is a quote from Chris Kresser, who is a good one to be quoting from!   Chris is one of the leading voices in nutrition and wellness today, and in fact when I look up something technical, more times than not I type into google “Chris Kresser on- whatever it is!”   He is that good, so check him out at www.chriskresser.com   You can always find something valuable.   Oh, and...

Send us Fan Mail This sounds crazy, but it’s not- you really can get the best workout of your life by not moving a muscle! How?   Isometrics. Now isometrics has gotten a really bad rap for a long time, the reasons for which are quite convoluted.   Back in the 1960’s (I’ll try to make this really short), Bob Hoffman, editor of Strength and Health magazine, was a proponent of isometrics.   He was al...

Send us Fan Mail I know this is kind of a perennial topic for me, but I think it is so important! Our culture, our “hyper civilized” way of life has become just that- hyper civilized, meaning civilized to too great of a degree; think “sissified”… The vast majority of people in Western world civilized cultures go to work, sit at a desk or drive around in a car, and even if they work out in a gym fo...

Send us Fan Mail There’s no such thing as an essential carbohydrate One of the first things that need to be elucidated are the absolute essentials for human survival and health. They are these: * Amino acids * Fatty acids * Electrolytes * Vitamins * Minerals * Water * Energy Of these, it is the last – energy – which generates an overwhelming majority of the controversy and conflict in nutrition, w...

Send us Fan Mail I have come to the conclusion that most folks have heard of the idea of avoiding gluten, but most have no idea as to why this is a good idea! Well, to begin with, grains themselves, all grains, are just poor food choices in terms of nutrition- there just isn’t that much nutrition per calorie in grains. But wheat and barley are particularly bad choices, since in addition to the lec...

Send us Fan Mail If ever you wanted proof that the Federal Government is utterly clueless when it comes to nutritional guidelines, your long-awaited proof is in- after roughly 60 years of recommending that you do not consume dietary cholesterol , they have just come out and said… dietary cholesterol is not a problem at all! It wouldn’t be so bad, except that they have been pounding this drum for d...

Send us Fan Mail Automatic health and fitness?   Wouldn’t that be nice, that’s probably your first thought.   I mean, nothing could be that easy, right? Well, it really is, it’s just a matter of setting up appropriate habits, and then following through for long enough that they just become your life!   And if they are good and healthy, and thus long term enjoyable habits, why then this is a prescr...

Send us Fan Mail I don’t know if you are aware of the importance of magnesium to your health, but I am here to tell you it is crucial. Why do we need a magnesium, or indeed any kind of a supplement, if we are already eating a natural, God-made foods based paleo type of diet?   This is a reasonable question, and I personally try to keep supplements to a minimum, since getting them from natural sour...

Send us Fan Mail I think you will be amazed, astounded, and as delighted with this upcoming recipe as I was!   I was down at the family cabin, deep in a coulee in southwestern Wisconsin, taking care of some damage there this winter- you see, a tree fell on the roof, smashing the skylight and scattering safety glass pellets all throughout the inside.   And so, what was to be a day trip to the cabin...

Send us Fan Mail Mailman Tales paperback   For his whole life, my father Big Band Bob, has loved to spend time outdoors!  He started out at Wolf acres, when he got out of the service, helping his sister Emma and her husband Ben to work on their wooded acres.  They cleaned up scrub trees for the big campfire pit they had built of mortared stone, planted new stands of pine that now are a beautiful f...

Send us Fan Mail Today I want to introduce you to an exercise that you probably have never heard of, but is probably one of the most productive and beneficial exercises ever.   The 360 exercise, so called because you do it in a 360 degree circle around your body, going one way, and then the other.   I saw it on the www.onnit.com exercise and fitness site, and it was demonstrated using a product of...

Send us Fan Mail OK, admittedly I stole this title from the upcoming summit with Maria Shriver and Mark Hyman… If you are interested here is the link to their multi-day summit: http://fatsummit.com/ There are lots of paleo types involved- I noticed, with a quick glance at all of the photos, not only those two I already mentioned, but Dr. Axe, Chis Kresser, David Perlmutter, and many others who kno...

Send us Fan Mail pqtd 98   Wake up and work out   That sounds a little simplistic, doesn’t it?   Well, it is, and that’s a big part of its beauty: if you work out first thing in the morning, there is no decision to be made!   You get up, and then you work out...   You don’t have to plan just when you will work out, just what exercises you will do that day- nothing at all!   You just need a plan in...

Send us Fan Mail pjsc 118   Where should a modern day Paleo person live?   I have been giving this a lot of thought, and actually, it seems so obvious to me!   I know there are hotbeds of “paleo aficianados” in pretty urban places, like NYC, and especially Austin Texas!   And God bless ‘em, I’m sure they are doing really great there, or at least as good as they can, and I wish them luck!   The pro...

Send us Fan Mail pqtd 97   Modern Medicine is not based on Modern Science   This is a sad podcast to have to make, because it is upsetting to many folks... but, it is true, nonetheless!   We are all the victim of an unnatural allegiance to “science” at all costs- I mean science has all the answers, does it not??   This seems reasonable on the face of it, but in our modern day, science has been rep...

Send us Fan Mail pqtd 96   Raw Dairy- the perfect food   “ And the Lord said, I am come down to deliver my people out of the hand of the Egyptians and unto a good land, a land flowing with milk and honey.”    Did you know that the forerunner to today’s Mayo clinic, the Mayo foundation was place where the principle treatment was using raw milk as a cure for many diseases?   It’s true- in 1929, the...

Send us Fan Mail pqtd 95   Our children are our canaries in the coal mine   I’m afraid that this sad fact is the truth- our children in America, and increasingly world wide, are suffering at ever earlier ages under the scourge of autoimmune conditions.   I have been witnessing this process for years now; I have been paleo for about 10 years or so now.   I have evolved, and slowly added in more goo...

Send us Fan Mail pqtd 94 sugar alcohols eating your cake and being healthy too   It has always been known that if you eat “bad” foods, things like candy, cake, and cookies, why then you were setting yourself up for dental disease, lots of fat on your body, and poor health in general.   Diabesity would be in your immediate future...   But did you know that, with a few judicious substitutions, you c...
