Dispelling The Lies: The new film featuring the Ethical Omnivore perspective.

Hey folks! Quite a number of people indicated they were interested in supporting future film projects which take a contrarian view of health and sustainability compared to films such as What the Health . To say these topics are controversial and emotional is about as understated as saying “the surface of the sun is hot.” Before I go further let’s set the stage a bit: 1-I CLEARLY have a bias or orientation in all of this. I sell books, seminars etc that advocate for a paleo diet or Ancestral Health template. The keyboard warriors who are going to point this out in some kind of Straw Man attack should consider that most of the folks appearing in the vegan backed films such as What the Health do precisely the same things, only promulgating a different message. 2-Let’s call things for what they are: “Plant Based” is some kind of Orwellian NewSpeak to avoid the more polarizing and controversial label “vegan.”  A paleo diet is “plant based” whether we are talking percent of calories, sc

How Does the Keto Reset Fit Into the Primal Blueprint?

Today I’m going to address a big question some of you have been asking in the comment boards and via email: Where does the Primal Blueprint eating plan fit into the Keto Reset diet ? It’s a good question. An expected one. It’s true that I’ve been focusing almost entirely on the Keto Reset in 2017. I’m passionate about it. I truly believe it can help almost everyone, and I want to get the word out to as many people as possible. When I started out on this keto journey, I wasn’t sure where it would take me.

I loved to eat and never felt restricted. Going keto was an experiment to see: If I was missing anything. If I could improve the nutrient density of my diet.

Get your mind outta the gutter!!! I’m talking about toy organization and towel racks today! : ) Every now and then I have to overhaul Mazen’s toys. If you recall, I wrote this post two years ago when I first organized his toys. It’s funny that the most popular toys in that post are the ones he’s totally outgrown now! Yet they were all still in there – just with two years more toys as well. Goodness gracious: We had a big toy sorting party a few weeks ago and I sorted through every toy in his room. How ironic that when I pulled them out he began to play with toys he hadn’t cared about in months! That is a good lesson though, because like they say about junk food – out of sight, out of mind! So, my goal was to take his toys out of bins and display them on the shelves. A lot of the more topical toys (Mr. Potato Head and his parts, magnetic blocks, etc.) have been moved to our downstairs toy storage closet to pull out on a rainy day. Most of those only entertain him for a short
