Thanks Robb!

It is a bit confusing. I have been checking it out on my own. The kids DHA supps (Nordic Naturals Kids DHA for example) usually have a small amount of EPA in them as well. Don’t know about formula as fortunately we don’t have to use that. The Mercola site recommends against CLO for everyone, but for Vit A/D ratio questions (not EPA) coming from a study by a Dr. Cannell. Weston Price and others still recommend CLO for kids and infants though. I’ll keep checking it out.

Thanks again, Robb!

Joel-
yes, this is why infant formulas and supps only contain DHA. I do not believe you want to start an EPA regimen until after about 2 years old…you need to double check that, im going to be hammered and will not be able to.

Good to hear about the progress! It’s like this stuff works!

CrossFit emailed back and said that they would email material 10 days prior to the cert., which should be around Oct. 28 or 29.

I am also going to Huntington Beach cert and have not received any “preparatory material”. I’ll email Crossfit and see what’s up!

Hi Robb,

I have just recently starting to put some CLO in my 8 month old’s food. However, I just found when perusing ThePaleoDiet.com FAQ’s this statement: “Infants should not be given EPA in the form of fish oil because it competes with AA metabolism and can result in impaired motor development as well as growth.”. This was the first I’d heard about this. Living in the Seattle area, I am interested in my baby getting some Vit D as well as n-3’s. Can you shed any light on whether CLO is OK for an 8 month old, and if not, when it would be appropriate? He is still nursing and the mom does take fish oil/clo so the n-3’s are probably getting to him. Being winter and flu season, some Vit D would be nice though, right?

BTW, I went to the Cert in July and have been non-WAM Paleo since. I am eating quite a bit more protein and about the same carb and fat. My weight is the same, but I am getting stronger. In addition, it is really liberating to not count blocks. Sometimes I guesstimate just to see what I am eating, but I really just eat. I love it!

Thanks for this great resource. I am looking forward to your book.

So true Robb, so true! There really are no words to case the feeling you get when you eat right. I know that I myself have come out on the better end of it. COMPLETELY off all anxiety and depression meds only 2 months into Paleo diet. AMAZING!!! Thanks again Robb!
