Success stories will be back in their regular slot next Friday, but for today I want to issue an invitation. Now that we’ve turned the corner on the first month of the year, I know some of you have already seen big success with living Primal and/or going keto. And I’d love to share your stories—to help inspire others here and to offer the kind of varied and personal accounts that only reader experiences can.

Antioxidants work to prevent oxidation (aka anti-oxidant!) and keep the cells in your body from free radical damage.
