As I write this, we’ve made it through two full weeks of the Whole 30/21 DSD. I finally turned a corner this week and felt pretty great most days. My moods are more even (read: there were less episodes of me telling Mike I hated his ass face), I’m sleeping great, and don’t get that late afternoon face-meets-wall thing around 2 pm like I used to. I have tons of energy and have been feeling great through my WODs, even the heavy breathers which I usually suck …

As most of you are aware, we have seven children. There are very rare moments when all seven agree on one thing, especially when it comes to food. So we have embarked on a journey to find at least 10 meals everyone loves to put into the dinner rotation every week. Yeah, I know. But this one actually passed the test. PHEW! It is a quicker, easier, mom-friendly version of Civilized Caveman’s B.O.A.R.S. Chicken. I first tried this recipe about a year ago, and instantly …

A photo Staffan sent me, showing him weighing a Kitavan man as part of the Kitava Study.I recently heard the sad news that Staffan Lindeberg, MD, PhD, lead researcher of the Kitava Study, has died. Staffan was a dedicated researcher and physician at Lund University in Sweden whose work was inspired by the evolutionary health principle. After reading Boyd Eaton and Melvin Konner’s seminal 1985 paper on Paleolithic nutrition, in Staffan’s words, “it gradually dawned on me that John Harvey Kellogg, a vegetarian zealot, had more influence on dietary advice …

Years ago, when I first heard the term “leaky gut”, I definitely imagined a belly full of holes. The term “leaky gut” definitely brings this image to mind, as silly as it is! I mean come on, your gut can’t really just start leaking like that, right? But if you have leaky gut, it’s no laughing matter. Gut health isn’t just about poop, gas, bloating, and acid reflux. It’s much more than that. With 80{f061691ba7220d88be23c216ba0701b88f7cb50120c5dfc52e143cf80de1ff51} of your immune system located in your gut and 95{f061691ba7220d88be23c216ba0701b88f7cb50120c5dfc52e143cf80de1ff51} of…

it’s not waving at you, that’s just the way the legs bend One of the things I like about our local chicken farm is that it sells you whole chickens, with all their disgusting parts shoved up inside the hollowed out chest cavity. It’s a bit gruesome but I love pulling out the neck, liver and kidney (I think – it’s purple and squishy) because those are the winners, as far as nutrition goes. Organ meats are full of iron, minerals, vitamins and other good stuff …

Nearly seven years ago, I developed my recipe for Sukuma Wiki, a Kenyan braised collard greens and ground beef recipe, and it’s been a favorite ever since. I put it in my first book, The Ancestral Table, and it’s often the dish I point to in the book when someone asks where they should start cooking. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare, and uses very affordable ingredients — and tastes great, too. When writing The Heritage Cookbook, I knew that I wanted to include this dish to represent…

As I type this, I’m gazing out my window for the second day in a row at over 6 inches of snow that’s fallen. It’s beautiful and fun, obviously. But since I live on a steep hill, it also comes with some challenges. Yesterday, when the storm started, I made a quip on my personal Facebook page that it was time once again for the game of watching cars attempt to get up or down the street. Because every year, people just have to tempt fate. Sometimes, a …

Woah, a LOT has changed for most of us within a very short time span! Change is hard, and with all the panic-providing fear-mongering out there, it’s hard to feel confident and empowered as we look to be solution-oriented. This week I joined forces with Shanna Nemrow, NTP (a homeschooling mama with tons of tips for healthy family tips for those of us in this new position) and Lindsay Young, CTNC (a certified nutrition coach) to deliver what we hope will be a tool you can …

You know you eat paleo when your trash can is full of all kinds of fruit and veggie trimmings, egg shells and coffee grounds. These are PERFECT for a compost bin. I’ve always wanted to compost, but have been in apartments and very busy jobs for the past few years. Don’t get me wrong – you can totally do this in your apartment or on your balcony, I just didn’t have the time before. It makes complete sense that paleo people should be composters too! Even if …

Wondering how to fill your kitchen and pantry with healthy real food so you can cook nourishing meals even during emergencies? Here are my top tips on how to stock a paleo pantry! I’ve heard from many Nomsters—especially those who are brand-new to Paleo—who’ve read my Paleo 101 overview and want to dive right in, but they don’t know how to prep for the journey. And while I’ve posted about my own home pantry before, I know mine’s got a bit more stuff than most folks need. (I tell myself …
