Paleo From A - Z
Pretty much everything you need to know to get on a path of wellness, as explained by a leading expert, Professor Loren Cordain, interviewed by Andreas Eenfeldt, MD.
In Search of the Perfect Diet?
Here is your chance to figure out what that may be, from a scientific view.
Check out this trailer, get a copy of "In Search of the Perfect Human Diet," and gather all your friends and family to a viewing!
My favorite scene is with Professor Loren Cordain at the football field. His description of evolution is a great analogy you will never forget.
Sunscreen; Friend or Foe?
After learning that sunscreens cause cancer, you may be bewildered of your next step. This is a great time to rethink what you may have been taught.
Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep site is devoted to educated the public on safe vs. harmful sunscreens. Reporting on the best to the worst, did your sunscreen make their "Hall of Shame?"
Focus your efforts on preventing cancer, not encouraging it, by investing wisely. Sunscreens are not created equal and which one you choose could be detrimental to your health or helpful. Now, it is a matter of choice.
Elevated Estrogen May Be a Death Wish
There are several reasons we may have unnaturally elevated estrogen levels that wreak havoc on our libido and health. Danny Roddy has a great post on this today. Along with using too many plastic food containers, plastic lined cans, and drinking conventional milk, there are many concerns.
A few points about estrogen are:
- "is present is both males and females and increases during chronic stress or malnutrition.
- Inflammation increases the aromatase enzyme, producing new estrogen.
- Estrogen mimics the anti-metabolic "shock" state in the stress reaction.
- Estrogen promotes tissue permeability and is probably a factor in "leaky gut," "food allergies," and autoimmunity."
- The intensity of orgasm may be a self-diagnostic to evaluate estrogen status. "

Great Bargain!
I just ordered one gallon of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Nutiva with free shipping. I love their Manna and got some of that as well. Let's hope the oil lasts through the summer 
Remember, this oil is great for helping reverse Diabetes, Alzheimer's dementia, dry skin, fungal problems, and just about anything.
Cook with it, use it in sauces or on top of dishes, or slather it all over your skin to double as a moisturizer and sunscreen.
Play Forever, Live Aggressively
Thank you Stephan Jepson!
Train Smart, Not Too Hard
When considering a personal trainer, exercise videos, or a training system, be sure to start out slowly and gradually build up your strength, your stamina, and your flexibility. For, if you workout too aggressively, at least initially, you may be in for disaster.
Exertional rhabdo is a skeletal muscle breakdown that results from a workout that goes beyond what the body can handle. The symptoms can surface immediately (muscle collapse) or days later (confused with delayed onset muscle soreness or fatigue), but could result in kidney failure, heart arrhythmia, shock and permanent muscle damage; it's often associated with heat stroke or dehydration. For extreme cases, hospitalization is required immediately.If you are considering beginning an exercise program, give me a call today!
Thank you Dr. Jack Kruse

It's Time To Care For Those Who Rescue Us
Robb Wolf is spearheading training, nutrition, and wellness for Reno for the good of the community. For instance, how are rescue workers supposed to perform well on scene if they are diseased or out of shape?
Taking a vested interest in the health of fire, police, and EMS sets a great example for the community to follow, it keeps crews safe, and reduces injuries and sick leave.
Check out the following videos to see how it all works:

Dr. Jack Kruse recently told me to stop working nights because it will shorten my life by 6 - 10 years. Here is a video explaining why and how shift work is dangerous.

"The Skinny on Obesity"
A great new series with good facts and analogies.
Here is episode one.
Is Paleo Good for Gall or Kidney Stone Prevention?
The Diet Doctor addresses this concern very well today.
Basically, a Paleo template of eating does help prevent the overall occurance of stones in humans, although it may take some adjusting for those prone to stones or those who've had their gall bladder removed.
"The conventional low fat advice rarely makes gallstone disease go away. Instead it often gets worse with time, until surgery is necessary. That is hardly a coincidence...
...Then more bile will be used to digest the food. The bile ducts and the gall bladder will be flushed through regularly. Probably no stones will have time to form, and pre-existing stones might (if you are lucky) be flushed out into the small intestine."
Visit Diet Doctor for great studies on this.
You Are In Control Of Your Health, Not Your Genes
That's right folks, there is no excuse for being fat, diabetic, and riddled with heart disease or cancer - at least for the majority of people. Check out this New York Times article highlighting a new study showing how our DNA is not the cause of disease and knowing more about which genes individuals carry may lead to better treatment and care on a personal level.
The Butter Diet?
That's right. Lose weight, improve blood lipid profile, and feel better than ever by eating loads of butter. Check out this great news post. Since I had trouble digesting dairy proteins, I eat unce/dp/B001XUM9B4/ref=pd_sim_gro_2" target="" class="">Ghee... and tons of it.
