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 don’t often receive video success stories, and when I do it doesn’t always work out to share them on the blog. That said, today’s video fits the bill in every way. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. These stories always make my week. Hi Mark, I know you have a thousand success stories a day, however I just thought you might enjoy this one today. I firmly believe that part of overcoming my addiction to alcohol and drugs was changing my diet through the Primal way of eating. The video below is my story of how I beat the odds, overcame addiction and prison, and now help others to adopt this “awesome” way of living. Currentl...

Like many aspects of my life, with the popular Prep Day , I waffle back and forth. Some weeks I do way more prep than others. It all depends on how my Sunday goes! If I have a full day of soccer or have been traveling, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will barely have had time to make a meal plan for the week. During the winter and summer when my Sundays are open, I do a lot more planning on the weekend. It all comes down to this: unless I’m in a particularly good mood with nothing on my calendar, I don’t want to spend my Sunday in the kitchen. I’d much rather be playing outside with Mazen, going somewhere fun, or simply lounging on the couch. This realization has led me to admit that I will never be one of those people with a week’s worth of meals ready to go in tupperware. (There are some really impressive prep day divas out there!) What I did decide, however, was that I could do a mini prep day. I’m talking 15 minutes in the kitchen, tops, just to take the edge off the week...

Our modern information age is at once awesome and terrible: Awesome : Science and academia are no longer just for Ivory Tower elites. Anyone, just about anywhere, can read, interpret, and provide constructive criticism of research, nearly as it is being published. Terrible: The human tendency to form tribes and to attack anything that is not part of their tribes’ doctrine is put on steroids in the largely anonymous online world. New ideas are seldom analyzed for mechanistic merit. They are looked at through the lens of “consensus” which often seems to be a kind of Orwellian NewSpeak amounting to: Industry influence and Academic Inertia that cock-blocks curiosity and common sense. The online world is an interesting balancing act of Citizen Scientists doing N=1 self experimentation (which ideally then drives review paper, pilot studies and Randomized Controlled Trials, RCT’s) juxtaposed with folks who make absolutely outrageous claims that defy the Laws of Nature.   There is ab...

When I was little on Christmas morning, I always looked forward to opening my stocking. I’d find it filled with fun little toys and candies that I loved. Now that I’m all grown up and a parent of my own, I’m really getting that magical feeling again this holiday season. I cannot wait to watch Harley grow up over the years and see the excitement in her eyes on Christmas morning too. Of course she isn’t eating candy now, but as she gets older one thing I won’t be putting in her stocking are any of those holiday candies filled with high fructose corn syrup, TBHQ, artificial colors and GMO ingredients. Big brands like Hershey’s, Ghirardelli, Mars, and Nestle have been guilty of this! Thankfully there are much better options available nowadays. Below you’ll find some of my favorite stocking stuffers… everything from candy bars, to toys, to spa-day treats. Many of these would also make great gifts for your neighbors, your mailman, and all the other people in your life that you want to...

Mazen was given this book by his teachers last Christmas, and it’s a cozy bedtime read! The story is about a little girl who helps her mom make a vegetable soup on a snowy winter day. At the end of the book there is a simple soup recipe. Every time I read it I get a strong craving for a brothy vegetable soup! No, I didn’t adopt a little girl. That’s Sylvia, Mazen’s best friend. She was over for a play date and I thought it would be fun if they helped me make the soup like the girl does in the book. All Mazen wanted to do was play fort, but Sylvia was into it! We read the book together and got started. She was excited for me to take her picture while she washed the veggies just like the girl in the story. Maybe I should swap kids with Sarah for a few days! : ) I got her set up with the zucchini and a dull knife to do some slicing. She went very slowly but eventually got through all four zucchini! When Mazen came in to see what we were up to, Sylvia said to him: “I can’t play n...
