I’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” minimalist sandal for years. For me that means a couple of things: Durable and comfortable for walking very long distances and biking Reasonably attractive and appropriate for a wide variety of situations Flexible and zero-drop Not going to fall apart if I randomly get rained no It’s kind of shocking how difficult this is to find. The closest I’ve had are the Croc “Sexi flip” and Tread Lite Maori Sandals. But I wanted something that looked a little more formal. So …
With so many people choosing to track health data nowadays, I get a lot of questions about the best way to measure body composition. Today I’m going to cover some of the most common methods, their pros and cons, and also tackle the question of whether there is an “ideal” body composition. When it comes to fitness, body composition refers to the relative quantities of fat, muscle, bone, and water in your body. These are measured by weight or as a percentage of your total body weight. Clinically, body composition …

The headline of this post is exactly right. I’m allergic to the cold. The medical term is Cold Urticaria.Thanks to the brilliant minds of Diane Sanfilippo and Karen Pendegrass as well as my own thoughts, I believe Cold Urticaria is an autoimmune condition. This wikipedia article describes what I have been going through perfectly. How the hell did this happen? Why did I go from feeling like I was on top of the world on all fronts, when I first began eating Paleo on April 5, 2010, to having an …

Ew. I HATE that people are talking about the “Quaratine 15” on social media like it’s Covid-19. “Getting my workout in so I don’t catch the Quarantine 15.” “Putting in the work so I don’t put on the Quarantine 15.” “Sweating it off to make sure I don’t gain the Quarantine 15.” If you are one of those people out there that have added the Quarantine 15 to your vocabulary…quit it. Stop it right now. You don’t need that bullshit in …

This is my second attempt at cooking beef cheeks and even though the recipe still needs a bit of tweaking I think it’s close enough to deserve a post, especially considering that beef cheeks are not readily available. And if everyone discovers how delicious they are I might not get another chance to try them! […]
I first came across Jamie Brazie on Instagram. At the time, I was editing Paleo Fitness Magazine (all 6 issues are now available as an ebook btw) and we were promoting the #paleofitnessarmy hashtag. I was checking the hashtag for people to feature in our social media shout out page, and one of Jamie’s photos came up. I noticed that she was a fellow Floridian and I thought it would be cool to feature a local paleo girl. When the issue ran, I let Jamie know about the shout out, and …
This post originally introduced the Intentional Paleo Community Facebook Group August 22, 2012. The gist was to initiate work toward a theoretical framework, build a real-world community, and develop a template replicable by others wishing to do something similar. During my recent [failed] fatbiking trek from the U.S. to the Yukon/NWT border area of B.C. (don’t ask… yet), I had a lot of time to think. I also had a lot of opportunity to engage the environment and interact with land and animals in a way not …
As COVID-19 rapidly spreads, it’s becoming more critical that you take protective action as early as possible. To that end, I held a live webinar on March 14, 2020, to discuss what we know about COVID-19, share information on what you can do to slow its spread, and answer your questions about the current situation. We’ve transcribed that webinar so you can use this information to keep yourself and your family as prepared and as healthy as possible.

This afternoon, I sat on the exam table at my regular skin cancer check, with my new dermatologist. She ran her fingertips over my arms and then arrived at the palm of my hands, startled.”Oh, my! Why do you have such hard callouses on your hands?””I’m a weightlifter. I do CrossFit.” “Oh! I have heard of that! I attended a wedding over New Year’s where the bride and groom and everyone at the reception were CrossFitters. That’s how the bride and groom got together, in fact. What …
In Part I of this article — we discussed some misconceptions about what is and isn’t healthy for a baby to eat. In Part 2, we’ll look at some of the foods that are the healthiest for a baby and why they’re so healthy. So we know that babies are designed to breastfeed for a while, and while they’re breast feeding, they’re getting breast milk, which by definition, is an animal product loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol. So we also know that babies’ systems are inherently set…
I eaten pizza with the filthiest of hands in my lifetime, but this box was left at the door by the driver, then I wiped it down with Clorox wipes. Then washed my hands for 20 seconds. This is the cleanest pizza I’m ever gonna eat. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-FgFNlJ2iK/?igshid=1g6p9sk4xn5gc

This relationship of ours just isn’t working for me anymore. I’m sorry. It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve changed. I am not the same person I used to be when we first meet as childhood sweethearts. I have done some growing, and I am seeing things much clearer now. I realize that I want something different from you, but the damage has already been done for us. We just have too much history together to ever get on the right track. I think we need to just go our …

What an exciting week it has been! In case you missed it, I had the amazing honour of sharing my journey with hypothalamic amenorrhea and body image on The Huffington Post! Seriously a dream come true! OK back to quinoa. It’s the high-protein darling of the vegan and vegetarian world. It’s the hip new pseudo-grain (it’s actually a fruit). And it seems to be somewhat of a grey area for Paleo
