It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! I’m thrilled to share Cristina Curp’s success story today. You might know her as the creator (and chef) of The Castaway Kitchen . And she’s now the author of the brand new Made Whole Cookbook , just out this week—a book I was proud to write the foreword for. She’s got an inspiring Primal story to share as well as awesome recipe and generous giveaway today. Enjoy, everyone!

We also saw a trap and were really close to a presumably snake-filled stream. I felt bad for chickening out, but I promised we would go on another family hike on a cleared path soon. Here he is at the entrance! We will have to try again in the winter… MY OTHER R
