Today I feel privileged to connect with the legendary Mark Sisson, the New York Times bestselling author of The Keto Reset Diet and bestselling book, The Primal Blueprint! Mark has been integral in turbo-charging the growth of the Primal Paleo movement. He is a prolific writer, blogger, and the founder of Primal Kitchen and Primal Nutrition. Our body's ability to supply the cells with energy is critical to our lives. In all his work, which spans decades, Mark emphasizes the importance of metabolic health, which means that every cell in the body gets supplied with enough energy to function optimally. Metabolic flexibility is the body's ability to extract energy from multiple sources, including fat stored in the body, and access energy from ketones to fuel the brain. In this episode, Mark and I dive into metabolic health and flexibility, nutritional dogmatism, disordered eating and extremes, and the misguidedness of the "calories in, calories out" approach. We discuss food scarcity, intermittent fasting, impulse control, and mindset, and Mark also shares how he has managed to have a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted family despite his success.   I hope you enjoy our conversation and gain a lot from listening to it! Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN What does metabolic health look like day-to-day? Mark explains how metabolic flexibility empowers people. Mark explains why we tend to over-eat from an evolutionary perspective. Most Americans are over-fed and under-nourished. Ideally, we need to figure out a strategy for eating as little as possible and staying satiated while building and maintaining muscle mass and having all the energy we need. You will get sarcopenia if you do not actively work against it.  What does it take to maintain your thyroid health? It is much easier to avoid over-eating when you become aware of being satiated. Building lean muscle mass is critical. It is crucial to understand that men and women have different nutritional requirements. Why is the “calories in, calories out” approach to weight loss misguided? Mark explains why he advocates for a more flexible approach to food choices. Mark shares his secret to cultivating a healthy and happy personal life alongside his professional life.

Discussing Food, Fitness, Family and the Primal Paleo Lifestyle:  Brendan is here to discuss Primal and Paleo as a big influence on his healthy lifestyle. Some quick background on him, he graduated medical school in 2008 and completed his radiation oncology residency training in 2013. He has lived on Florida's Space Coast since 2013, where he works as a radiation oncologist at a busy cancer center. He has been practicing a primal/paleo lifestyle since 2011 and has become passionate about the connection between diet/lifestyle and health, particularly as it relates to cancer. He and his wife, Rachel, started a blog  OurHealthHabit.com (http://ourhealthhabit.com/)  to share their perspective and outlook on building healthy lifestyles as a family. Brendan has years of personal experience with different nutritional strategies--from paleo to intermittent fasting and ketosis--and his medical background brings a unique perspective to these concepts. He is enthusiastic about health, longevity, and cancer prevention and believes that the key to achieving these can be found by looking outside the mainstream medical and nutrition resources. When he's not working or spending time with his family, Brendan enjoys working out and training for OCR races and has qualified for the North American Championships to be held in Vermont this summer. Brendan is an avid reader and consumer of podcasts, although this is his first experience on the other side of the microphone!

Quick rewind, the Diabetes Epidemic as blown up in this country. Just think about how things were a 100 years ago, even 5000 years ago. We didn't have the level of disease and illness we have today. Did we still get sick... yes. We are all going to get sick and die eventually. Unfortunately, as much as we are into longevity, it's inevitable.

Hey what’s up Gene-ius listeners, I’m excited to be interviewing my guest today. He shares many of similar passions that I do. Mainly Tough Mudder and Primal Health. I’ve been following Brad on social media for a while now, and I’m glad to have him as a guest on our podcast today. Here’s a clip from Brad’s website: In the early months of 2015, I discovered the Paleo movement. While reading the Paleo Magazine, I read an article about a guy who seemed a lot like me, overweight, and depressed that the traditional methods of weight management were not working. He read Mark Sisson’s “The Primal Blueprint.” and it changed his life. So I thought, “why not give it a shot.” I went to the local bookstore that week and bought a copy of “The Primal Blueprint,” and my eyes were opened. The way I lived my life and the way I ate were horrible. I was poisoning myself. I bought other books by Mark Sisson, and Robb Wolf, and tried to learn as much as I could about this lifestyle that works for so many and has been right in front of our noses for thousands of years. So after a few months of reading what I could about this Primal/Paleo movement, I decided to start the “Primal Blueprint Certification Course, ” and two months later, I became a Certified Expert. This journey is far from over, and I hope with this blog, I can reach and show others about this fairly new movement.  http://theprimalmudder.com/   Find out more great content here... http://unleashyourgeneius.com/ www.cactuschiropractic.com.au See you next time!

Elle Russ chats with Beverly Meyer about the importance of vitamin K2 for all humans - children and adults. Beverly Meyer is a natural health practitioner and podcaster. She is the host of The "Primal Diet - Modern Health" podcast. The show reflects her 30 years of experience as a naturopathic practitioner and Primal/Paleo food lover. Her video DVD, The Diet For Human Beings, teaches the how's and why's of the Primal/Paleo Diet, and is ideal for sharing with friends and family. Her motto is FOOD FIRST, and new clients catch an ear-full on why changing their food is the fastest way to start restoring health and body composition. After a successful but exhausting career in business, Beverly began practicing as a Certified Clinical Nutritionist in 1985. Her personal goal was to restore her immune system, adrenals and celiac-damaged gut. Her award-winning blog, newsletter, Twitter and Facebook pages offer up-to-date info on running your own lab work, creating a personalized Gluten Free Paleo diet, and restoring hormones and the immune system.

Catherine interviews Coach Jody Petronella about his major fat loss victory, his Primal/Paleo lifestyle, and his strategies for helping his clients reach their goals. If you have been holding yourself back on achieving your goals, today's episode is sure to inspire you to keep going, in spite of the excuses that pop up along the way.

Today's show features a variety of killer recipes, and a list of superfood ingredients, from our dynamic duo, Elle Russ and Eli Rohde. They share some of their favorite easy-to-make Primal/Paleo-friendly creations--all creative, all delicious, and certainly all good for your body. They start with one of the sometimes under-utilized grain substitutes, cauliflower, by offering up a recipe for cauliflower puree muffins and cauliflower pizza crust. How's that for a gluten-free alternative? The two then discuss the newest additions to their kitchens, ranging from collagen-rich coffee, Primal coladas, protein-rich green smoothies, and more. If you're looking for a list of classic or cutting edge recipes to revamp your meals, then you won't want to miss this episode!

Podcasts have become a lifesaver for me. Whenever I'm stuck in traffic (which is whenever I drive in LA), or have a long trip ahead of me (and I don't feel like or can't read), I use podcasts to make otherwise wasted time incredibly productive, engaging, and enjoyable. Here are what I consider to be the best Primal/paleo/ancestral health-related podcasts in the world. I'll also throw in some of my favorite podcasts that have nothing at all to do with health and fitness and Primal living. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Brock Armstrong)

Today's episode, hosted by Elle Russ, features seasoned periodontist Dr. Alvin Danenberg (Dr. Dan). After experiencing a health crisis several years ago, he explored alternative ways to get himself off medications and back on track. After doing his due diligence, he came across the Primal/Paleo path, recovered his health, and never looked back. He credits the lifestyle for his recovery and continues to research and advocate for the importance of a Primal lifestyle for his patients. As a means to learn more about the nutrition, lifestyle, and behavior modifications necessary to achieve success, he eventually became a Primal Blueprint Certified Expert. You can check out his current insights, research, and anecdotes at his blog, drdanenberg.com/blog.

Howdy y'all! That's something I picked up after almost a week in the thriving metropolis, Austin, Texas, for this year's largest North American conference on all things related to Ancestral Health: Paleo f(x). If you were one of the lucky ones to attend this event and watch some of the presentations, then you know what a thrill it was to rub elbows in a hustling, bustling convention center filled with thousands of like-minded Primal/Paleo enthusiasts. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Brock Armstrong)

www.jolitabrilliant.com If you are thinking to try to do 30bananasaday diet or 811 diet long term get ready for mineral deficiencies, cavities, mental retardation and more. After experiencing that I (and ive seen my friends and clients do so) can ruin your health, go into madneess or die from any diet if its unbalanced, of course processed food diets will be the most discomfort and pain causing, and both over eating on healthy meat and never eating vegetables or being raw vegan and never eating meat will cause problems, balance is the key.Do you know any vegans? don’t worry they will tell you about it. lm making a joke about vegans as they are the only ones that everyone can make jokes about even vegetarians, say like eat some eggs you pussie! Vegans are not people.Anyhow I’m trouble now bc you can’t fuck with vegans,cc bc if you mess with vegans or animal activists they will fuck you up, dont look them in the eye and run away, saying im wrong! they will fuck you up! bc they are hungry!Goood vegans dont need any essential nutrients to eat from animals, they convert everything probably thats explains the reason they are so ignorant about they health, idiotsOne last question is animals are not meant to be eaten why they are made out of meat? *  * Would you like to add your story on my blog about a failure on vegan diet? Email me here.Thank you.I will be gathering some stories for this blog post to prevent other people from dyeing and failture.

Vlatka WilliamsJolita, I do not know why I cannot comment on your posts (maybe because I am only Following you, I am not on your friends list) but I want to add to the conversation – my ex husband vas a vegetarian since 12 years of age, vegan since he was 15, raw vegan since 25 years old. He died few years ago at the age 59 of a massive coronary, just collapsed on the street. He never smoked nor drunk, never did drugs of any kind. Totally ascetic, walked everywhere, never owned a car, did Yoga and meditated in India and Tibet. At the age of 40 he developed a skin condition where the tops of his hands were itchy and flaky. After many homeopathic and ajurvedic treatments he finally saw a doctor who prescribed fish oil. He was taking it for almost a year and the condition reversed! He had so much quilt about taking it that he stopped. His hands and feet were always cold and he had horrible mood swings. Reading your testimony and things you are posting makes me realize that he could have had a much healthier and happier life. Scott KujakJolita- Here’s a brief description of my journey over the past 17 months, as well as a current picture showing SAD/raw vegan/Whole foods omnivore. The only reason I’m posting this is not because I’ve “arrived” somewhere, but because I’ve “came so far.” :In October 2011, I decided that enough was enough. I was overweight, lazy, out of shape and depressed. I was following the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) lifestyle.On October 10th, 2011 I started eating less processed foods, adding more fruits and vegetables, and moderately exercising- mostly walking. I was less depressed, had noticeably more energy, and actually enjoyed moving around. For the next 7 months, I made gradual, yet steady changes.By May 2012, I had cut meat down to only about 5% of my total calories, stopped eating processed foods altogether, ate mostly fruits and vegetables, and started running, biking, and cross-training. As of May 5th, I could not even run a block without stopping and being winded- but that was about to change quick. Reading the book “Born To Run” changed my life in dramatic, yet positive ways.In July 2012 I started eating a 100% vegan/95% raw plant-based eating regimen, exercising six days a week, energy still abounding, stress was low, and my endurance had increased over ten-fold. I was already up to running 6 miles every other day. However, beginning in November 2012 I started getting injured often while exercising, my stamina and strength hit plateaus, I started feeling weak, cloudy minded, depressed, insatiably hungry and a mental fog began to develop. These signs/symptoms were all to familiar– I had all these signs/symptoms the last time I tried veganism. I then spent the next couple of months “soul-searching” and tweaking my diet once again.Fast forward to January 2013. My strength and endurance was returning. I was already adding healthy lean muscle while cutting fat, brain fog disappearing, and my energy returning. I began training for my first Marathon which is taking place this coming June.Currently, my energy is literally “through the roof!” I can now run up to 12 miles straight, while averaging 5-6 on an average running day, I’m lifting heavier weights than ever before in my life, and sleeping like a baby. I attribute a major part of feeling healthy again to adding free-range eggs, wild salmon, grass-fed beef, and chicken to my diet which already includes mostly whole and organic foods. While veganism worked as a great short term “weight loss” plan for me, it didn’t stand the test of time. No single diet is right for everyone. My diet/lifestyle is currently at 50/30/20- carbs/fat/protein. Animal products make up about 10% of my diet. Everything is organic and/or free-range.While I’ve definitely achieved some goals, I have many more to come- and I believe I’ll get there one day with patience, perseverance, and hard work. Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Take each day as it comes. Ask yourself if what you’re doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow. There are seven days in a week, and “SOMEDAY” isn’t one of them. Now is the time for change. Never give up!! Manya Niazi Awww congrats! HCRV made me balloon up and gave me terrible skin breakouts that I can’t get rid of no matter what. Jolita you’re so inspirational. Thanks for being YOU! I also can’t live in denial anymore. P.S. I can’t understand why people make a big deal out of this, if 811 works for you then GOOD FOR YOU ’cause we’re all different. Pete Kruse 2 hours agoYou’re on the right track  811 didn’t work for me either. Stomach pains, constant peeing, not feeling full, etc. The vegan diet is possible when done healthy, like the Hippocrates Institute way. However, a vegetarian diet that includes milk and eggs is an ancient diet. The 600 million vegetarians in India can tell you this!  National Geographic said that the longest living Americans are 7th Day Adventist vegetarians who eat milk and eggs (Google “Blue Zones”). Manya Niazi I was 100% HCRV. I followed Doug Graham’s meal plan (80/10/10) and kept a record of everything on myfitnesspal. I was eating around 1500kcals in the beginning and after a few weeks I gained 5lbs, 30BAD members convinced me that it’s normal and suggested me to increase my caloric intake. My training routine was: running for an hour 3 days a week, had strength training sessions with my PT twice a week as well as spinning and kick boxing classes whenever I felt like it. In a nutshell I kept increasing my caloric intake to 3,500-4,000 a day (which was perfectly fine to 30BAD members) and went from 120lbs tp 145. I’m 5’5″ and have a very small frame and have never been so FAT in my life. No one is able to understand how terrible this whole thing is to me, and if you’re not gonna be sympathetic then I don’t wanna hear that I’m not being honest with you, I’ve just had enough. Scott Skujak- recovering 80/10/10 now eats meat after running into major health problems, story to come soon. What if wild animals ate fast food!? (Fun Pause!) alyciawest1Yes you can use what little story I have  I still include fruit in my diet, I’m just not dogmatic about it all. But I was not able to get my cycles back dying the 2 yrs I was using 80/10/10 raw. I had other issues like cavities and increasing sweet tooth. All that said, if it worked for me I would follow 8/1/1 in a heart beat! GDM fitness hared that raw vegan diet made him crave acidic foods bc of too much alkalinity all the time and gave no satiation feeling, so he had to quit. Steven MayI’ve been raw vegan for 7 years and still had acne at times, developed teeth issues, looked sick and tired, etc. It’s not the results you’d expect from following the ultimate perfect diet…I get better results on a cooked vegetarian diet.   blessednhmI was vegetarian and aiming for veganism fir 6 years. I finally gave up the diet went back to eating lean meats because my health over the 6 years really deteriorated. I had chronic anxiety, memory loss issues but was still indenial. I even tried to donated blood Dec 2011 and not only did I get rejected but the nurse drawing my blood actually pulled me to the side to ask me how I was feeling and that I should really see a doctor. I wasn’t even producing enough hemoglobin to function. Chris Wark is not raw vegan anymore.Hi JolitaI admire your courage to share your health journey publicly.Sorry so many people are attacking you. Yes I eat animals. The post explains my journey. (Anastasia garkushka and victoria arnstein (have weight management), I am posting these names without their acknowledgment but from the need to do so as they are in denial but they are sick on this diet) does water fasts and ultra running to burn the fat they gain from eating all that glucose and does yo-yo dieting. alyciawest1Please keep us up on any improvements !! I lost my period too and would like to know if the dragon herbs start yours back up? Cherimoya AngelJolita!!!!! You are brave I was so sick from 811….. I can not live this lifestyle completely…Thanks for your last posts.. I also received thanking messages exposing 811 gurus. Murray UtahThanks for your video exposing Victoria Arnstein. Ever since the first video I saw her with her family speaking about the fruitiest. I thought she was not a good person and a dingbat. Right on to you!   Scott Kujak In short: Something to keep in mind, is that the healthiest and longest lived peoples and cultures ever studied and documented (centenarians), consumed animal products in some way, shape, or form- as well as cooking at least some of their food. The Okinawans have the most and they all consume animal products. Keep in mind that a little go a long way. Not only that, but 99% of the top athletes and champions in almost every major sport in the world consume animal products. How can all of that be, if animal products aren’t healthy?? Animal meat not digesting is absolutely garbage, a myth propagated by vegans alone- a psuedo science unsupported by any real peer reviewed science. Also keep in mind that of all peer reviewed studies done on animal products that claim animal products are unhealthy, none were causation related, nor were they done factoring in organic/grass-fed/free-range animal products. Instead they referred to factory famed and also included people who ate processed foods. Please keep this in mind. I know the “in thing/fad” to do right now is raw veganism “question everything,” but let’s not over analyze things too much. Extremism is extremism no matter how you approach it. I tried veganism/100% plant-based diet out twice, 100% raw one of the times, and while I did lose a lot of weight, much of it was muscle weight and in the end I was weak, mentally fogged, depressed, etc. It was only after adding free-range animal products back into my diet that I regained my health. Message me for picture and/or more info if you wish. I understand that not everyone is the same, but keep in mind that for everyone who is currently “succeeding” off a raw vegan diet, there are twice as many who have failed. And the ones who do succeed are mostly, not all, but mostly short term and were not born and raised raw from infants- not to mention the the hate, intolerance, and judgement that usually ends up accompanying the raw vegans attitude over time. Also keep in mind that many raw vegans and/or vegans are able to continue functioning for some years as raw vegans simply because they have years of stored up vitamins, minerals, etc that they’re still utilizing from their omnivore days If raw veganism is truly the panacea for the world’s ills, and has truly been around for hundreds of years, then where are all the statistics and evidence of them outliving and being healthier than every other populace, culture, and peoples?? If it were true like some claim, it would be flaunted everywhere. Sure it’s a “peachy keen” ideal, but it’s not real. Cheers!about a minute ago · Unlike · 1 Damainefy 38 minutes agoHey girl! Love your videos! Got a question. Recently I switched from high carb raw vegan to LCHF raw primal/ paleo diet…I’ve gained some unwanted weight in my abdominal area including cellulite while being raw vegan (I never had issues with abdominal fat before going raw)…Can you tell me, did you notice the reduction in your cellulite after going paleo? Thank you for your time! Lots of love!  My story: While initially I felt great after going raw and eating so many plants, my skin improved after removing grains like breads and cookies, pasta, but eventually my body went out of balance with only fruits and vegetables. While my mind was not wanting to accept it, and I was delusional about my condition.The longer vegan and the longer raw vegan especially low fat raw vegan aka 811 I been the hungrier I got, I started to think about food non stop, I had to carry snacks with me all the time to not binge and not buy anything non raw, my body was out of balance, in winter I felt terribly cold bc of eating cooling foods like fruits and vegetables, and my mineral reserves started to go out, nails became brittle, especially foot from too much sugar, my teeth developed cavities, severe stomach cramps after eating some fruit like high in fructose watermelons, grapes, apples, I’d have to lay down for 15-20 minutes for it to subside, I had chromium used up and no coming in that helps to digest fructose, I was getting colds and runny nose and throat cold every time i run outside in colder weather while my meat eating tem mates were fine, despite brushing 2 times a day, my hair became thinner and I had less hair, skin brake outs started on the face from the over loaded liver in sugar, heart pain during and after excercise, long heart recovery from the pain, low estrogen, no sex drive, no periods, because I was malnourished at time I felt suicidal and very depressed, than Id eat fruit carbs to pick me up, low energy levels and lack of motivation to do something big in the world, no mental power and aggressiveness I used to have in life, while on the other hand I became agressive with people instead, especially who did not live my way, social isolation from the rest of the meat eaters works and social anxiety, fear of blood, It hink its a mental condition and disease that vegans have, im not afraid of it anymore though. I thought I was hungry because I was addicted to processed foods and that detox was going on and on and on for years, but what I was missing was meat! Its a part of our natural homo sapiens diet, I neglected that other apes also eat small amounts of meat, eggs, insects, small mammals trying to prove my own personal dogma I tried to stay inspired by making videos and watching other insane people. My nervous system and brain function declined from loss of coQ10 and other compounds, vitamin b12 complex and lack of essential amino acids- brain food! I became a person that I could not recognize myself anymore. I gained weight because I was pounding carbs never letting get my body into fat burning mode. My liver was overworked and the further I went the moreexercise I needed to burn off the extra carbs. There is much more reasons which I cant think of right now but I plan onto updating this list shortly, these are the major ones I guess. thanks for reading. The vegan diet might work for you is you sit at home all day and eat greens non stop and vegetables, but in my case I still felt hungry after doing so, bc there was not enough essential thins that are only found in animal products. I saw children not developed as other their age on vegan diet. Serge Maillet * Hi Jolita. Just a quick message to offer you my support for what you’re doing. Last year I was also on a raw-vegan diet which almost killed me. I then realized how flawed the raw vegan diet was for long-term health and decided to switch to paleo. This was a few months before you rendered the same decision based on similar experienced. At the time, I ‘unliked’ you from Facebook because I couldn’t support what you were saying but I recently learned that you have found the flaws of raw vegan, 811, etc.. and are now sharing the truth with everyone I applaud you for this. This is why I’m back on your FB group – I like the work you’re doing, and the messages that you’re spreading. Don’t worry about all of the BS you’re getting from the BAD cult.. they are absolutely delusional and it’s apparent that they actually honestly believe their own bullshit. Keep on going. You have my full support. Abella Molly Locklove Locklove After losing 160 pounds on a low carb diet(which i gained due to eating supermarket food and junk food), to which diet i concluded after trying all the stereotypical diets and methods, i was convinced to try a raw diet and my head was full on the “it’s so cheap” “it’s so handy” blah blah blah. And i was guaranteed i will NOT gain weight. I was bullied cause i was too skinny (can you believe it?) and they all insisted that it wasn’t my weight but that i “looked” unhealthy. When in reality my blood tests were pristine and people thought i looked unhealthy cause they either met me while fat or they were quite chubby themselves so their view on “unhealthy” was distorted. So i started watching freelee’s videos. I noticed some holes in her self-stories but i just ignored them , wasn’t interested in her crying but more in her diet. She kept on guaranteeing herself that you can NOT get fat and you’re extremly healthy etc etc. First week on 811 was quite okay. My tummy was bloating but according to the videos, that’s to be expected. Then i started breaking out. On the forums everyone was saying “detox, detox detox” and i’d feel light-headed sometimes, a bit drunk, sometimes a bit hyper, VERY hungry, quite emotional too. Some days were good, some days i couldn’t even get out of bed. According to the videos i had to stick to it to get that “flat belly”. Which i already had on low-carb but ruined it. This went on for 8 months, i found myself needing to watch freelee’s constant videos of the same thing and i had a friend over when i was watching her flat belly video. My friend said “that’s a tummy tuck”. I was shocked!! I had gained 30 pounds, My teeth were hurting, i was treated as if i was lying about my food and being told “stop eating big macs” and “you’re doing it wrong” and other stuff that are insulting to my intelligence… and the main chick has had surgery done?! I kept on asking DR and Freelee, have you or haven’t you done surgery? No answer. Ever. I’d even brawl with them to get them to respond and as soon as they would, i’d ask about the plastic surgery. I got banned. From youtube channels and 30bad. And then I realised.. of course you can gain weight on 811… all these girls in the pictures that recovered from anorexia and are chubby now gained weight on high-carb. Even if they come from an anorexic background, the whole theory is carbs can NOT turn into fat and “the fat that you eat, is the fat that you wear”. So it IS possible. And DR’s excuse “you might get flabby but you won’t get fat” does not cut it. I wasn’t flabby and i became flabby… At some point i was talking to a friend in an eating disorder channel, someone with the name 801010 and started harassing the girls calling them retarded for not eating and how that 801010 person eats 1000 calories for a light breakfast alone and was linking freelee’s videos and 30bad forum. He was harassing girls with an eating disorder in order to get more views, which meant more money. He’s also admited that he trolls the internet. “You need carbs to troll these morons, a big bowl of kiwi fruit is what you need to troll” *and he shows kiwi fruit skins* I decided that enough was enough. I switched back to low carb, nearly zero and i’m not working out but i lost 2% body fat thus far. I don’t need to constantly eat, i can eat once a day and have energy for the rest of the day. My blood tests are perfect. In conclusion, DR and Freelee are just trolling youtube and have the forums in order to get video views cause that’s how they make their money. Do they do 811? i don’t know, and i don’t really care. I saw that now that DR’s main channel has been banned, both him and freelee are trying to get more views by using hatespeech towards others in the raw world or the paleo world or the low carb world. Vince BarriosHi Jolita, Ive gone from vegan to paleo as well and I feel great. Thanks for everything you do and the inspritation, you are looking super healthy. What types of protein have you found the best result for building muscle? I’ve lost so much muscle from being vegan and am really looking to get it back. Thanks for everything you do, and keep up the good work!

In this episode, Myke and I are joined by Andrew Marvin from Quarter-Life Enlightenment to discuss Primal/Paleo diet and lifestyle. I like the simplicity that I see in this movement and have long been a curious observer. I also like the parallels and intersections I see with other similar movements like barefoot running.

AIR DATE: March 22, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: FEATURED TOPIC: “All Things Thyroid (Thyroid 101)” Licensed acupuncturist and integrative medicine practitioner Chris Kresser is one of the most highly-sought after voices of reason in the realm of health on the Internet today. He has personally been through the wringer with the traditional medical system as he shared with me in  But that set him on a quest to discover more about his own health by gathering and analyzing the medical research staying up-to-date on everything he could get his hands on. There are a lot of health myths that unfortunately pervade in the realm of health and Chris regularly addresses these on his highly popular  and wildly-popular  podcast. One area of specific interest to him is the subject of thyroid. Around 20 million Americans deal with some form of thyroid disease and yet it is left undiagnosed due to a variety of reasons. Yet there is a lot of confusion about thyroid conditions that we will hopefully have Chris help bring clarity to in this episode! LOW-CARB, GLUTEN-FREE CONDIMENTS MADE WITH STEVIVANOTICE OF DISCLOSURE:  Here are some of the questions we addressed in this podcast: Are there any dietary changes that will "treat" hypothyroid? There is a meme that has spread quickly to Paleo sites that low carb causes low T3, and is a cause of hypothyroidism. How can this be? My doc who treats hypothyroidism and insulin resistance had me do low carb, and it worked. How can low carb be both the cause and part of the solution? Someone has this wrong. What is going on? CRIS ASKS:I am a 53 year old female who had a Total Thyroidectomy four years ago due to thyroid cancer. My doctor keeps me just a smidgen "hyper" with Synthroid replacement medication to help the cancer not grow back. I have lost 50 pounds. In one year on a low carb diet, I feel great. But I have been stalled for two months now. I can't seem to lose any more weight. I need to lose 50 more. I know I need thyroid replacement meds but could this be the reason I can't seem to lose anymore? JENNIFER ASKS:Which is better--natural or synthetic thyroid hormone (like Synthroid) or a combination? PAUL ASKS:When I went zero carb Paleo, my T3 dropped out of the range and I needed to take antibiotics for a mouth abscess. I resumed carbs and gained back the weight I lost. I am now trying to drive down the carbs again. What can I do to ensure that my T3 remains ok. I am hypothyroid (take 100T4 + 20T3) and I was assessed a few years back by a former family doctor as having low adrenal function. Are adrenal and thyroid metabolism related and can a low adrenal state lead to a low T3? REGINA ASKS:What is your opinion of Jack Kruse's Leptin Reset Rx and Cold Thermogenesis on the thyroid? LAUREN ASKS:I underwent a total thyroidectomy in January of 2006 following a thyroid cancer diagnosis and will be on replacement T4 (Synthroid) for the rest of my life. Are there any modifications that those of us without a thyroid need to keep in mind when following a Paleo diet? JOSH ASKS:My wife had about 90% of her thyroid removed several years ago after undergoing a thyroid storm and goiter. She's on levothyroxin and we've switched over to a Paleo diet about two years ago, and she's pretty good with adherence, especially when it comes to avoiding wheat and grains. One of my real concerns is with her long term bone health due to the thyroid removal. She currently takes anywhere from 2000mg to 3500 mg of calcium each day to combat calcium loss from her bones. She takes 5000 IU of D3 daily, as well as K2 to help with proper absorption. Her blood calcium levels are usually high, but if she doesn't take the oral supplements she gets pain in her hands, wrists, and other joints. What supplements would you recommend for proper calcium absorption? What are some good blood markers you'd like to to indicate proper function? SHARON ASKS:Can you discuss the role of antibodies (AB), both blocking and stimulating, on thyroid health? When the typical thyroid labs appear "normal", could there be an AB issue occurring, causing the autoimmune response? DONNA ASKS:Since giving up soy milk and grains (including daily wheat germ) when I started on a low-carb regimen about a year ago, my arthritis symptoms have virtually disappeared, and my thyroid started working better (I was able to lower my dosage of levothyroxine slightly). During the same period, my osteopenia has progressed to osteoporosis. The latter may just be age, but what I want to know is, could the same root cause underlie co-existing hypothyroidism, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis? PAUL ASKS:My TSH increased from 3.86 a year ago to 5.23 last month. I have no hypothyroid symptoms but my doctor want to put me on levothyroxine. Does this make sense? Other relevant blood valuesT4 free 1.09T4 total 5.9T3 uptake 38TPO antibody: 19Total cholesterol increased from 197 to 215 over last year.T total 417T free 45Free T% - 1.1%SHBG 79.6 LAURA ASKS:I am a 42-year-old female who has been eating Primal/Paleo (low to moderate carb) for over one year now (after being a vegetarian and vegan for almost my ENTIRE life). I had my one and only child almost three years ago and lost all my baby weight (and then some) by changing my eating habits. I looked so much better after changing my lifestyle, but still had low thyroid symptoms (FREEZING cold, tired, digestion issues, etc) AND it was discovered I had near zero sex hormone production (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone). Also, I had BEYOND low Free T3 and Free T4 (TSH was all over the place, but is now quite low). I was diagnosed with hypothyroid due to a pituitary disorder. I have been put on Estradiol, Prometrium, and a small amount of topical Androgel (testosterone). I have also been taking Armour. I have gained 30 pounds thus far. I am miserable. My questions are: Do you believe in supplementing with sex hormones or should the thyroid medication be sufficient? Would daily intermittent fasting be contraindicated for someone with issues like mine (or does this stress the adrenals too much)? I want to be HEALTHY. But I cannot lie, I am so OVER being overweight. I would love to find a healthy balance. STEVE ASKS:This question is about real thyroid health vs "health on paper" (good test results). I've been treated for hypothyroid, chronic fatigue, and insulin resistance since 2007, with good results. I see a top doctor that deals with all three and they use the so-called bio-identical T3, hormones like testosterone or progesterone cream, and a lot of supplements. I lost 120 pounds quickly and look much different. My blood work went from train wreck to awesome. Weight is normal enough and I feel fine, even though I have low calorie requirements now (about 1,400 a day, and I'm male 51, 5"8, 192 pounds) My question is how do I know if I get to a point where I'm spending a lot of money on meds and supplements and maybe need to back off and let the body take over? My doc wants to keep doing what has worked. Am I broke forever, or should I think about cutting back on supplements and hormones and let the body handle more? TIRIL FROM NORWAY ASKS:I am wondering if thyroid problems is the cause of hair thinning in a woman? Are there any other causes that should be investigated as well? And what can you do as a first intervention? JAN ASKS:What thyroid tests do you recommend when weight loss has stalled? (In my case TSH is elevated but the HMO will not test T3 or rT3--is it worth paying privately for those tests to have a more complete picture of what might be going on?) PAULA ASKS:Do you have any insight on what might cause thyroid nodules? (I have several, and biopsies show them to be non-cancerous at this time. One doctor recommends surgery; another says they are nothing to worry about)
