Two things struck me in conversation with clients this week. Both highlighted just how backwards Americans have it today when they think of ‘getting healthy’ and ‘living healthy’.

“Wait…you don’t eat grains, dairy, or legumes??….that’s crazy! What’s left to eat??” This is a common reply when people first learn about the Paleolithic/Primal way of eating (eating foods that provide the most nutrients and eliminating the ones that cause problems for the body via inflammation and gut breakdown – these foods were what our… [Read more…]
