(Sorry about the glitch yesterday, folks! WordPress prematurely published my post without any content as I was working on it. Here’s the whole tamale.) It must be a slow news cycle or something, because there are lots of stories floating around about the health of the nation and how to help those who are overweight […]

Ahhhh. Back from vacation with a fresh tan, a swollen liver from all the piña coladas, and a dead brain. If you see a lonely brain going around and around a baggage carousel somewhere, let me know, because I think it took a different flight. Let me preface this week’s musing. I live in the […]

So. I get it. I myself have suffered from a case of zealous Paleo dogmatism. It solved so many problems in such little time, how could it NOT be the answer to everything in the universe? Which then sends you down the path of nutritionism, because suddenly things like drinking a glass of water with […]

As I mentioned last week, Dr. Kurt Harris unleashed some information that kinda rocked the Paleo world. I’m going to discuss it today, but before I get to that… A few disclaimers. I am not good at the sciencey-science. I do not fully understand the ins-and-outs of this crap. Do not rely on me for […]

Yesterday I eased us in with some general kvetching about the limits of Paleo and our expectations. Today we’re going to look into the modern phenomenon of nutritionism and its role in all of this. When I went Paleo, I thought I was leaving nutritionism behind. Goodbye to vitamin fortified cereals, wood-chip-enhanced high fiber whole […]

Today’s post is the first in a series in which I hope to connect some dots that have been floating around in my thoughts. As I mentioned last week, Kurt Harris’s immune system jigsaw-piece addition to the whole optimal health puzzle coalesced a few things for me. I’m not sure where sharing this will get […]

A quick programming note before I dive in here. Last week, Kurt Harris, he of the Archevore/PaNu/Paleo 2.0-ness, dropped a bit of a bomb on the Paleosphere. Before you click over, I must warn you—it’s a complete time suck. You have to read every comment, and it’s still being added to as of today. It […]

(Video of Darryl Edwards’s playshop from Paleo FX.) If you visit often, you know that I’ve been deconstructing my athletic pursuits. Less membership cards, less machine, less torture. More outdoors, more dirt, more fun. I can’t even remember how I found Darryl’s website, but I’m guessing it was a Google search for bodyweight exercise ideas, […]

Via my guest blog post over at MovNat (here), Caity McCardell of RunBarefootGirl.com found me and asked me to read my piece. An awesome honor, I was thrilled. Caity was a warm and generous host, and I share her enthusiasm for barefooting and spreading the word to the ladies out there. I think we women […]
