Send us Fan Mail Stretching is vital for your health.   This is true whether you are an athlete or not- if you start to lose flexibility and strength in your back and shoulders, you will also lose mobility, and be cursed with pain!   This is your body scolding you for not taking care of it.   If you feel pain, you are either doing too much physically, like overtraining or training with too heavily...

Send us Fan Mail When you talk about exercise in the usual paleo circles, ala crossfit etc., the mantra is to “lift heavy things!” The idea that you must lift heavy, meaning heavy weights on barbell back squats, deadlifts, and presses is a given. Well, I am here to say that it is not necessary, and never has been. It is not the weight lifted that is important, it is the muscular contraction intens...

Send us Fan Mail Injury is inevitable, unfortunately. It is part of the human condition. If you train properly, using body weight, perfectly paleo types of exercise, you won’t become injured from that. UNLESS you overdo it, which can always happen. Overuse is the number one cause of injuries- just look at me! A few weeks back I posted about being injured from an overuse injury, painting a barn of...

Send us Fan Mail 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 allotted time span, that is anothe...

Yes, they are; let me explain. With all the national rhetoric about outlawing guns and the 2nd amendment, I have to violently disagree. Every time that guns are taken away, crime goes up dramatically. Look at Chicago, and act...

Send us Fan Mail We all know what it’s like when all is going great- morning workout, great breakfast with a green paleo smoothie and coffee with coconut oil and cinnamon, cloves and chocolate powder- and then off to a productive day! Life can be wonderful… But, it can also be quite stressful, as we all know. I know personally, because I got injured! While not the end of the world, injuries can be...

Send us Fan Mail Yes, my friend, White Willow Bark is really the only drug that I can wholeheartedly recommend! It has really no side effects, is very effective, and can be used without reservation. It works for headache, muscle or joint pain- almost anything really, that most folks have been resorting to aspirin, ibuprofen, and tylenol for. (Along with more potent drugs with more damaging side ef...

Send us Fan Mail I know this sounds a little weird- why and how do you make yourself into a Diesel?   Well, what I mean by diesel is rock solid, powerful, healthy, and vital!   Sound better?   The reason I bring this up, is that almost everyone is indoctrinated into the “germ theory”, which is that advocated by Louis Pasteur so long ago.   The germ theory stated that- it only we could eliminate ge...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we lose sight of reality, and go down blind alleys in pursuit of health and fitness.   The Olympic Games springs to mind, as they are on right now.   As do professional sports of all kinds- they are a form of specialization, and the public idolizes sports heroes as archetypes of fitness and health!   Nothing could be further from the truth.   Specializing in any sport, t...

Send us Fan Mail Like in many things, we have all been brainwashed over the past few decades, brainwashed into   1. Eating a low fat, high carb, high grain and sugar based diet 2. Signing off on our precious health to medical clinics and doctors   These two things will do more harm to your health than good, and are symptomatic of the evil that has been done to our society.   I hope you know by now...

Send us Fan Mail I am an old adopter of the Superslow exercise protocol, as advanced years ago by Ken Hutchins.   This was a 10 seconds up on an exercise (or positive motion), and 5 seconds down (negative).   Of course, this was in my olden days of training with weights, back in the early 1980’s…   I did make rather amazing progress using this protocol, but the bad effects of training with heavy w...

Send us Fan Mail I have had a very, very busy few days, and thus need to apologize to you, my paleolithic friend, for not getting my weekly PQTD podcast done in time! Usually, it’s every Wednesday. But, here it is at last, and better late than never, aye? Firstly, my excuses: I have been off to our families’ vacation log cabin, deep in the woods of Wisconsin. A truly unique and lovely place, rusti...

Send us Fan Mail Boy, will I ruffle some feathers with this one!   Well, that’s fine: I have never been either politically correct, or a moderate “flip-flopper” like so many…   I watched the Democratic Party Convention for awhile last night, and it was… horrendous.   There was NO American flag, but a Syrian one and rainbow flags all in evidence.   It turns out that the Dems have abandoned actual w...

Send us Fan Mail One of the biggest deterrents to someone actually doing the exercise that their body is crying out for is this: they think they need to join a gym (expensive and intimidating to the uninitiated), and then of course they have to find the time to get there.   Driving over, getting into your special workout clothes, waiting in lines to use fancy machines or heavy weights on supports...

Send us Fan Mail Western medicine today, although wonderful in crisis situations of acute trauma, is woefully bad when it comes to managing actual health, and in preventing disease!   In going regularly to an MD and getting numerous screenings and tests, you are doing nothing that will actually preserve your health- you will just be tested with numerous expensive procedures that tell very little a...

Send us Fan Mail What the heck?   What do I mean by telling you to “get down on the floor?!”   Just that- you cannot be flexible and fit, with your mobility intact, unless you get down on the floor (or ground) each day, to stretch, to sit, and to just exist!   We are not meant to exist in the sitting position, with occasional standing and walking only- we are meant, in fact we are designed through...

Send us Fan Mail This may sound kind of strange, but truly- WHERE you live is crucially important! To your health, to your psyche, and to the health and wellness of your entire family. It really is that important. Nowadays, if you live in a big city, you are virtually guaranteed that your air is polluted, you are unsafe from criminal predators, and you are isolated from the fields and forests, the...

Send us Fan Mail I know- this seems like a small, inconsequential thing- going barefoot??   What is the big deal with that? Well, like most things Paleo or ancestral, the big deal is that we just stopped doing basic things!   And have for a long time! Most non-Paleo folks never, ever make bone broth- taking bones to slow cook in water to make broth, and extract all the nutrients… (and incidentally...

Send us Fan Mail I am convinced that modern Americans’ being obsessed with speed, the need to get things done and accomplished as fast as possible is out of control!  Virtually all of us have too much going on, all the time.   We say we don’t have time eat right, don’t have time to exercise, don’t even have time to do our jobs properly, with full concentration.   And this is in spite of rushing th...

Send us Fan Mail Last Wednesday we talked about Paleo Basics 1, which is just to give up gluten, mainly in the form of wheat!   I hope you have done it this past week, and that you already notice a difference.   The positive effects come on quite quickly, and continue the longer you maintain a gluten free lifestyle.   Weight loss, an ending to a “bloated feeling” and a distended stomach are usuall...

Send us Fan Mail It struck me today that anyone contemplating the paleo diet and lifestyle really only needs to concentrate on a few basic things.   They are simple, easily understood, and not complicated at all:   1. Cut out gluten- this is really key!   Just this one thing , hard as it is for most folks to even contemplate, will do more for your health positively than anything else.   Really! On...

Send us Fan Mail I’m sure you’ve all heard the adage to “exercise 3 times per week”, because your body needs rest days to rebuild.   Although this may be true for abusive exercise systems using heavy barbells and dumbbells, a ‘going to failure’ mentality backed by a substandard diet…but not for those of us who practice Perfectly Paleo Exercise! This is the type of natural exercise that uses your o...

Send us Fan Mail "Many People wonder how a single exercise without movement could produce results comparable or even superior to an exercise with movement.....Only one or two seconds are required to take a curl from thigh level to chin height. The hardest part of the curl is not the start or finish, but instead the middle of the curl,where leverage causes the greatest effort. Yet the muscles...

Send us Fan Mail Did you know that orchestra conductors are the longest lived profession? Neither did I until recently, but it makes perfect sense to me. Number 1 is the exercise involved- Exercise? Yes, indeed. Moving both arms, while flexing the torso isometrically as you move those moderately tensed arms- why, this is Perfectly Paleo Exercise in action! I just finished my one weekly basement wo...
