ACEs and Primal Health

Image
It’s fair to say that I gravitate towards tangible, actionable subject matter when it comes to improving my own and others’ health. Things like nutrition, fitness, sleep, hormonal responses, and supplement science may seem like a lot to chew on for the layperson, but these are my personal passions as well as my long-time profession. And while these are certainly the big, actionable players in the game of health, I fully acknowledge there may be more lurking behind the scenes than we realize. A body that refuses to heal no matter how Primal you eat. Stubborn health conditions that simply refuse to fully go away, despite all the changes you make in your life. A propensity for disease that defies everything you’ve learned about ancestral nutrition and wellness. An intriguing new angle in the health sphere suggests the hurdle for some people may be embedded deeper than outer changes can access.  What Are ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences)?

I’ll be serving up a traditional post soon, but I thought I’d check in and see how everybody is doing. I know we have a LOT of folks participating in the 21-Day Challenge led by my excellent staff. It’s been exciting to watch from the sidelines this week—to see them share their best tips and connect with our audiences. If you aren’t joining the crew on Vimify (or if you are!), you can check out their Instagram Story videos and photos from the Mark’s Daily Apple , Primal Blueprint , and PRIMAL KITCHEN® Instagram accounts. The staff and videos are all different, so you’ll get the most by following all three channels. Definitely worth popping in and seeing what they’re up to! Have a great day, everybody, and Grok on!

Wedding Planning I

Now that the excitement of our engagement has had a week and a half to sink in, we’ve started to think about planning a wedding. Prior to his proposal, Thomas and I had talked a lot about the future —  kids, houses, careers —  but every time getting married or a wedding came up, I usually blushed, smiled, and said, “Well you haven’t asked me yet, so let’s have that conversation when the time is right!” He agreed —  we didn’t want to get ahead of ourselves. So once we were officially engaged, we asked each other all the burning wedding questions: where, when, how big? Luckily, we are on the same page. Since Thomas hasn’t had a wedding before, I really just wanted to do what he wanted to do. If he had wanted to elope to a tropical island just the two of us, I would have been down for that. If he wanted a grande society wedding, I might have been cool with that too. Just because this isn’t my first rodeo, doesn’t mean he should miss out on fun things that regular weddings have. I’m no
