The Primal Prescription: Surviving the “Sick Care” Sinkhole (A New Primal Book Plus Limited-Time Bonus Offer) Oct 21, 2015

Show notes

For years I’ve been complaining about the state of my country’s health care—I’m sure you’ve heard me loud and clear. The lack of success America’s current system has in helping people achieve, maintain, or regain good health is literally sickening. The U.S. health system is ranked as having the highest cost (in 2011 $8,508 per person was spent on health care) and the lowest performance (a 2014 new Commonwealth Fund report ranked the U.S. health system last among 11 industrialized nations).

The U.S. health care system is broken, and our current efforts to fix it are only making things worse. But don’t despair just yet. Authors Doug McGuff, MD, and Robert Murphy, PhD, combine their expertise in medicine and economics in Primal Blueprint Publishing’s newest release: The Primal Prescription.(This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)

#90: Stuart Tomc Oct 20, 2015

Show notes

Today’s show features Stuart Tomc, a natural health aficionado and science guru who’s worked at a litany of blockbuster nutrition companies, such as Nordic Naturals, North American Urban Spice, and, most recently, Cannavest. If you’re a science buff, and you’re ready to dive into the nitty gritty mechanics of the emerging science on CBD (cannabidiol) and omega-3 fatty acids, then you won’t want to miss this episode. First, Stuart sheds light on the optimal testing required to make sure you’re getting the omega-3 intake your body type needs. Then, Elle and Stuart dive into an in-depth review of the current scientific literature supporting the various benefits of compounds found in hemp. Those benefits range from neuroprotective, anxiolytic, seizure-reducing, and metabolic optimizing effects. Elle and Stuart go over the fundamental differences between the compound typically recognized in popular culture, THC, and the rich array of other compounds found in the plant that has an unmistakable history of controversy. So pop on your thinking caps, folks, and tune into this episode that doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to hard science!

Health Perspective for Every Stage of Life: Part 2 Oct 20, 2015

Show notes

Last week I took up the subject of health through the varying stages of life. What does health mean to us? How should we develop it or live it within the scheme of the different stages we go through as logistical events and developmental maturity shift the focus and parameters of our lives? How do our major milestones challenge our approach to well-being? Let’s pick up that topic again and finish off the discussion. I hope you’ll share your own thoughts on how differing stages of life influenced your thinking about health and what approaches fit the times best for you.(This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)

Why Older (and Younger) Runners Need to Strength Train Oct 14, 2015

Show notes

Strength training can improve performance. Yes, even if you replace some of your miles with time in the gym. Yes, even if you spend less time running and more time lifting. Yes, even if you lift heavy, you’re not going to “get too big and unwieldy” enough to hamper your running performance.

Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid of Joining the Status Quo Oct 08, 2015

Show notes

While we Primal types are ridiculously far from being any kind of majority, numbered are the days perhaps of the Primal/paleo pariah. For the second year in a row, in fact, paleo was the most Googled diet. And while U.S. News & World Report might wish the “caveman” diet would just go away, it doesn’t appear we’re going anywhere but apparently more mainstream.
