Invest in your health! Join us at Paleo f(x) this year!

We are so excited!! I have been waiting since the first year to be able to attend, and it looked like this year was going to be another “well, maybe next year…” while I finish nursing school. I had sent my submission to present at the end of last year thinking it was a long shot, and figuring maybe after I graduated and had more time, I’d put together something really special for the next one. Last week while searching my email for a study guide, I ...
Save Your Life In 60 Days: An Interview with Jordan Reasoner

Save Your Life In 60 Days: An Interview with Jordan Reasoner

I love writing about ancestral health and nutrition topics, but what I love even more is helping people solve their chronic health problems so that they can live a better, healthier, and more fulfilling life. One of the major health issues that brings people to an ancestral lifestyle is something called leaky gut. Perhaps you’ve heard of this before, or maybe you’re new to the term. Maybe you’ve even been diagnosed with it recently or in the past. It’s becoming more and more common these days. Either way, having ...
Paleo Pup Transformation

Paleo Pup Transformation

Written by: Steevie Our quest to find a pup to add to our lives showed up when we stopped by a local shelter. They had a feisty little guy named Tony who was an overweight, “personality challenged” rat terrier chihuahua they asked us to foster for a weekend to learn his habits and true traits. He had been transferred from a Sacramento shelter where he was roaming the streets prior to being in lock up. Since being transferred to the Seattle area, he had been in a kennel 80{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} ...

Weekly Meal Plan 4 – 21DSD and Whole30 Compliant

Okay, so I’m a little behind on, well.. everything. Ever have one of those weeks where everything kind of just happened at once? I had two major deadlines last week – one for my publishing career and one for my writing gig – and then my gym (which I also work for) was hosting a major two-day competition which literally kept me out of the house and going nonstop for two full days. I ended that week out with friends,  celebrating with these pretty ladies (and sundry other ...

The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly the DHA and EPA varieties, are well documented and becoming well known.1 An estimated 17 percent of US adults consume fish oil supplements and since 2007, US fish oil sales have surged from $425 million to over $1 billion.2,3 While these figures are encouraging, more attention should be placed on omega-3 quality. Because of their unique molecular structures, polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3, are prone to oxidation.4 Heat, light, and oxygen can quickly degrade them, giving rise to harmful free radicals. Fish oil products...

Weekend in Photos // The Virginia Friend Tour

Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show on GroovesharkOne of Rob's college roommates got married in Williamsburg over the weekend, so we left a few days early to spend some time in Roanoke. Our flight from Charlotte got cancelled and we ended up renting a car and driving the quick three hours up 81 so we didn't have to wait any longer to be in Roanoke. Before leaving Charlotte, we stopped at Tenders, an awesome little chicken restaurant that my friend Shawna would take us all to when we visited her...

Adversity Training, Part 2 — Kids

Adversity Training, Part 2 — Kids

In Part 1, I went into some ways you can stop being a whiner. Now, it’s time to explore why that’s important—so you don’t raise whiny children. Remember this? (No? Did I just date myself?) Well, it’s unfortunately true in most things. Not necessarily in this straight-forward of a way, but let me explain. Just as toddlers mimic what we do, they will continue to be exposed to what we value as they grow up. As much as we wish our chatter would be all ...

Has Obesity Research Failed?

I frequently encounter the argument that obesity research has failed because it hasn't stopped the global increase in obesity rates.  According to this argument, we need to re-think our approach to obesity research because the current approach just isn't working. Grant funding for obesity research keeps increasing in the US, and the prevalence of obesity also keeps increasing*.  What gives?  Maybe if we just scrapped the whole endeavor we'd be better off. Let's take a closer look at this argument and see how it holds ...
Cultivating the Well-Adjusted Male

Cultivating the Well-Adjusted Male

As many of you probably know if you read more responsible Paleo bloggers than me, Paleo f(x) went down last week, April 11-13, in Austin, Texas. It was the usual amazing hoopla, with friends, food, and fun. This was my fourth Paleo gathering, so I won’t retread all the ins-and-outs, but suffice to say, if you haven’t come to meet your tribe, then you’re not really living. Panelists from left: Ryan, Wolf, Smith, Max, Durant, Miller. (Thanks to Chris Ryan for photo!) Now that I’...
The Slim Palate Paleo Cookbook Review and Paleo Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroon Recipe

The Slim Palate Paleo Cookbook Review and Paleo Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroon Recipe

About the AuthorJoshua Weissman was an overweight teenager, who, like many overweight teenagers was bullied and tormented by other kids. Unlike most, however, Joshua decided that he wasn't going to let others dictate who he was, he would make a change. Even though he was only 15 at the time he realized that real food, rather than processed diet food, was the key to turning his life around. Getting into the kitchen, getting his hands dirty, tasting, smelling, reconnecting with his food helped him reconnect with himself. 100lbs later, Joshua is ...

Been There, Done That…No Resolutions Here

Been There, Done That…No Resolutions Here

So it has been some time since my last blog, and I apologize for that. I was heavily involved in a program to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner which I successfully completed. Many have asked when I was going to start up again – so here it is. I must admit that this blog was one that I wrote last year that was published in Today’s Charlotte Woman magazine. I wanted to share it again this year since many were not able to read it due to fact that ...
Recipe: Plantain Protein Muffins

Recipe: Plantain Protein Muffins

I almost never bake, so the fact that I baked something from scratch is pretty awesome. And what’s more awesome is that these muffins are not only gluten- and grain-free, but they’re also nut-free, coconut-free and even flourless. I’m not kidding! I found a recipe for basic Paleo muffins from The Paleo Mom while I was developing a meal plan for a client, and thought they’d be a really great recipe to try out since I don’t really like baking but I...
