Walking—The Truest Form of Paleo Exercise

When I was in my teens, I remember thinking that walking didn’t really qualify as “exercise.” Back then, I was doing lots of sports and went regularly to my local gym, where I lifted heavy weights and did high-intensity stints on the rowing machine. These were what I considered “real exercise.” In my mind, walking was an ineffectual form of physical activity, best suited to the elderly. I didn’t believe…

Does Recent TMAO Research Suggest That the Paleo Diet Causes Heart Disease?

Detractors of the Paleo diet often mention how it may increase a molecule called trimethylamine N-oxide, or TMAO, which has been correlated with disease states. Proponents of a vegan diet use TMAO as rationale for avoiding animal protein, like Dr. Joel Kahn did recently during a highly publicized debate with Paleo advocate Chris Kresser. In recent weeks, unpublished data from a group of researchers in Australia has received media attention…

While you might not be too keen on quickly shoveling 12 grapes…

Float. Freeze. Listen. Walk. Alternatives to Traditional Meditation

Mindfulness is a word heard frequently in the world of health and fitness, and meditation is often touted as a way to achieve a mindful state. More than just a cool way to chill or relax, meditation has scientifically proven physiological benefits. An eight-week course of meditation shrinks the amygdala, the region of the brain associated with the initiation of the body’s response to stress. Simultaneously, the prefrontal cortex—responsible for…

Is Your Low-Carb Diet Wreaking Havoc on Your Gut Microbiome?

Low-carbohydrate diets continue to be a contentious subject, but they can be useful in certain applications. A well-designed low-carbohydrate diet can provide all the raw materials the body needs to function optimally; however, if not judiciously planned and implemented, it can wreak havoc on the endocrine and immune systems—and seriously detract from athletic performance. Over the past decade, research has revealed that an improperly designed low-carbohydrate diet can also inflict…

Why We Shouldn’t Rely Only on Animal Studies

In a recently released article, scientists studied “strongly heated carbohydrate-rich food” (i.e., French fries) and cancer risk. Frying potatoes produces a compound called acrylamide. Acrylamide has been theorized as a cancer-promoting compound. But more recent research has shown that high-acrylamide foods such as coffee do not, in fact, increase cancer risk. The authors of this study took the investigation further, however. They measured the micronucleus frequency of human erythrocytes in…

How Paleo Could Transform Medicine

Let’s assume that, after being Paleo for a while, you now “get” what the whole ancestral-health journey is all about. But this leaves you with a nagging question: Why don’t more medical doctors, nutritionists, and health practitioners know about these concepts? Why isn’t evolutionary theory considered in the context of health, disease, and nutrition? Indeed, if you head into the doctor’s office and ask your general practitioner why people get…
