One year and one day ago from today I had this crazy idea while sitting on my brother's comfy black chair in Wrigleyville, Chicago. He was away in Dallas and so I had the entire condo to myself. With the peace and quiet I decided to take some time to just sit and think. And so I thought. And thought. Then, out of the blue, I thought about the crazy idea to walk across America. You know, from … [Read more...]

Enjoy! “You’ll want to include more carbs like bread to reduce the binging,” Trina said as she pointed out the different portion sizes on the handout. I had finally gone for help. After seven months of returning back to cooked food after being on a raw-food diet, I felt lost. How did I know when to be done with a meal? After the massive … [Read more...]
In the modern world it can be a hefty challenge to eat real, nourishing food that makes you feel great. With poor education, too much information and misinformation, most folks are clueless as where to begin. Many give up which is unfortunate. Luckily, with the internet, the game is changing at a rapid pace. Many of us have discovered that animal fat is actually good for us and that whole grains … [Read more...]
This past Saturday, I attended what may have been the last Balanced Bites Nutrition Workshop. It was held in Washington, DC at CrossFit Metro. I flew in from Grand Rapids, MI. To be perfectly honest, the 2 full days in Washington, DC were more rewarding than the 36 full days I spent in Hawaii in late January through February this year. I owe a special thanks to Staci and Matt from … [Read more...]
The following is a guest post by Logan Marshall of WildMovement.com. It's a BIG wake up call. Enjoy! ### When it comes to “primal living,” most people know the basics: Get outside, embrace the sun, don’t eat processed crap that wasn’t around 200 years ago. But for me, the lifestyle possibilities don’t stop there. Nope. For me, there are a whole slew of less mainstream aspects. … [Read more...]
Imagine your life as a boat. Every single event - no matter how big or small, fast or slow - either pushes your boat closer to the bottom of the ocean or keeps it afloat. What is considered an event? What you ate for your last meal is an event. Each bite is a smaller event inside the bigger event. Reading a book or any piece of writing is an event. Doing one push-up or drinking a Mai Tai is an … [Read more...]

After watching the youtube video Shit Paleo People Say, I think I may be ok labeling myself as a Swiss Paleo. I've been eating a lot of dairy lately yet I still naturally avoid grains and legumes. I'm kidding... Kind of. For the past 3 years and for the foreseeable future, grains and legumes don't naturally play any part of what I eat. But local dairy that comes from cattle you know was … [Read more...]
What actions do you believe us humans need to take in order to turn around the health of society? That was one of three questions that I asked for the August epic giveaway.

I have answered some questions on meat before and now I am presenting the thoughts people had on what we can do to turn around the health of society sooner rather … [Read more...]
I used to tell family, friends and strangers that I was Paleo or Primal. I have always used these words interchangeably. Then, at the beginning of last year I wanted to toss both labels into the ocean. I do not remember what the catalyst was for this thinking but I was debating with myself whether or not I should start a new blog. The Paleo label was not resonating with me much. During the … [Read more...]
Do you label yourself? Why or why not? We all do. Maybe not forever but we all have at some point in our lives. And I'm not referring to the obvious ones like being a mother or father. I'm a brother and will be an uncle to 2 newborns in July. I am referring to labels where there are multiple interpretations of what it means to be this or that. This is very common when it comes to politics … [Read more...]
