Send us Fan Mail Yesterday we put my father to rest, his ashes buried on the grounds of the vacation cabin my family has shared for almost 30 years.   We put an inscribed rock up to mark the spot, and had a wonderful memorial service, with everyone present to speak on what a wonderful influence our father had been on us all. His life of almost 97 years was celebrated again and again, both through...

Send us Fan Mail If you have been listening to this podcast for any length of time, you know that I vastly prefer bodyweight, isometrics, and especially virtual resistance training over any other type!   I do like heavy hands, where you walk along (preferable barefoot or in Xero type shoes on God’s green earth), grounding yourself electrically as you go, pumping small weights in your hands as you...

Send us Fan Mail This is a difficult podcast to write and speak.   This past week I lost my father, as well as his brother, my uncle Ken!   Phil Bowers and Ken Bowers, small town Wisconsin boys who went on to accomplish great things, have gone to the Afterlife almost together- elder brother Ken died just one week before his little brother.   Ken was born in 1919, and Phil was born in 1920.   Elder...

Send us Fan Mail It’s not your doctor’s responsibility, it’s not up to your mother, or your husband or wife- it is simply your choice. Health really is just about that simple! YOU make the decision each night whether or not to go to bed nice and early, turning off all the lights in your bedroom and then composing yourself for sleep. YOU decide not to look at various screens in bed, which are guara...

Send us Fan Mail The more I read and research about staying healthy in this our modern era, the simpler it becomes to me. There is really only one thing you need to do nutritionally to avoid degenerative diseases… Strictly limit your refined carbs and sugars! That’s it, I’m not kidding! The high blood glucose almost all Americans now live with, and the resultant spikes in insulin, over and over fo...

Send us Fan Mail This research has been around for about 6 or 7 years now, but the information has yet to circulate widely throughout the fitness world- lifting light weights is just as effective for developing both strength and muscle size! Why is this such big news? Well, for many athletes, and just plain regular folks who want to improve their health and appearance, the advice has been to “lift...

Send us Fan Mail Just when you think you’ve got the ancestral, paleo type of diet pretty much all figured out- another wrinkle appears! Actually, this is part of what is so really cool about paleo, it is an endless road of discovery. Your typical medical doctor thinks he has it all figured out: what he learned in medical school 30 years ago is all he needs to know… Of course, he is dead wrong, and...

Send us Fan Mail As an ancestral, paleo sort of person, safeguarding our natural environment is very important to me. The fact the glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup by Monsanto is sprayed widely on our crops, and also right in our very yards and gardens disgusts me! his on your yard or garden, you are compromising the health of your own family, along with anyone else who walks on your p...

Send us Fan Mail Where to live a good life is important- in fact, it is paramount.   Our ancestors knew this well: they would hunt for a good cave, or place to build their huts, where there was ample game and wild vegetables to gather.   A place where there was cover, and a sheltered area, probably around a clearing, where the tribe could build a fire.   A fire for both keeping away predators, coo...

Send us Fan Mail More heresy- stop weight training? Get flabby and soft?? Well, how about stopping damaging, dangerous heavy weight lifting, and replace it with a type of strength training that is far safer, more beneficial, and will leave you with a body that is not only fit and healthy, but aesthetically pleasing as well. I mean it, friends- I have literally tons of weights in my basement, that...

Send us Fan Mail Of all the reasons to avoid a high carb and sugar diet, insulin stimulation if one of the best. After you consume carbs, or carb’s twin sugar, your pancreas floods your blood with insulin, to bring down the high sugar levels. If you do this long enough, you will overwhelm your system, and become insulin resistant. Also, there is another piece of the metabolic puzzle called leptin,...

Send us Fan Mail The big thing now is: Fake News. On the political front, this is a huge problem, as our major media has capitulated almost entirely to the liberal side, and only broadcasts and prints stories that advance their own particular left wing agenda. Facts be damned! Fortunately, now we have the internet, and we can actually fact check what is being broadcast to us. We also have Fox news...

Send us Fan Mail Waistline work is not about vanity. Although it will do more to improve your appearance than anything else you can do, the more important thing is that it will dramatically improve your health. Having a lean, ripped midsection, from all viewing angles, is a premiere indicator of a healthy body. It means you will have a healthy, vibrant spine and back, the abdominal muscles are cri...

Send us Fan Mail This isn’t what you’ll read on those pretty bottles of corn, soy, canola, margarine, Crisco, and other toxic vegetable oil products- but it is true nonetheless. Not only are these oils not “vegetable” in origin, like we’ve been told glibly for years, they are actually from otherwise hard, inedible seeds that have been treated with harsh chemical extraction methods to get a somewha...

Send us Fan Mail The green smoothie cure A green smoothie, all by itself, pretty much cures everything! I know, that sounds like crazy talk, but I assure that it is true. How can this be true? Well, simply by taking a handful or so of greens, adding in a can of coconut milk, some kefir, green tea, fresh or frozen cruciferous veggies like broccoli & cauliflower, & a couple of raw eggs, a pe...

Send us Fan Mail Habits for Health Creating habits for health is probably the very best thing you can do in life! Wow, that sounds extreme, but it is 100% true. “Once begun, half done,” as the old saying goes, is true of anything. And the truth is that, if you don’t eat right, it you don’t exercise, if you don’t sleep a solid 8 hours per night, and so on- you are not going to be healthy. And, by n...

Send us Fan Mail I, your usually super healthy PaleoJay, have just recovered from a week long bout with a bad cold! It was doubly bad, since I haven’t had any kind of a cold for years now; to the best of my recollection it has been over 6 years since I had a cold that lasted longer than one day. I am just almost never sick, which I ascribe to my lifestyle and nutrition. But not this time! In fact,...

Send us Fan Mail Fasting for Fat Loss and More One rather simple and easy method for both controlling your weight and also vastly increasing your health simultaneously is with fasting! Simply by limiting your eating window to a set amount of hours per day- say 6 am to 6 pm, you will eat less, without really consciously trying. If you then eliminate snacks, & go to just three meals in that allo...

Send us Fan Mail Now that we all have the election of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in our rear view mirrors, we can take stock of that outcome.   I think it is important to view the election through examination of a subject with which we are very familiar: that of nutrition and health.   If you are in agreement with the paleo precepts, such as those of eating a real foods, no gluten, and inde...

Send us Fan Mail This seems like a kind of crazy title for a podcast, but I really started thinking about this today: Most Americans no longer cook!   They buy fast food, they buy processed food to heat up, they order pizzas galore, and they go out to restaurants…   But they rarely ever actually cook a meal!   I know, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and most people (I hope, at least!) still cook a...

Send us Fan Mail Like everything in Paleo land, we do things differently. It seems that the conventional, standard American diet does everything exactly the opposite of what they should be doing. They eat wheat and grain, not only do they eat them, but seem to almost bathe in grain products, day and night! Doughnuts and cereal for breakfast, sandwiches at almost every meal, pizza and crackers- the...

Send us Fan Mail I am late with this weekly podcast of Paleo Quick Tip of the Day, which usually comes out on each and every Wednesday- but I have a good reason!   My wife and I have been caring for our 14 month old grandson and, although it was truly a joy to have him in the house and yard for four days and nights, it is also- a lot of work!   If you have a little one or more, you know what I am...

Send us Fan Mail I have heard this time and again- “You know, I try to eat right- I even make your green smoothies and feel healthier for it. I exercise religiously. But I think this gluten thing doesn’t apply to me- I’m immune!” Not true. If you have never been off of gluten, and I mean you’ve never really followed through and eliminated bread products, even in relatively small amounts, from your...

Send us Fan Mail Most of us know by now how great the paleo type of diet and lifestyle is for your body- I mean, your fat stores shrink drastically as you become a “fat burner” as opposed to a “sugar burner”, and your health literally explodes as you provide your body with vital nutrients instead of harmful substances like processed foods, chemicals, and gluten. Throw in a little exercise, good sl...
