Show Notes: The_Paleolithic_Solution_Episode_39
Alicia says
Hey Robb, the audio link links to the pdf.
Gregor says
I think there is a problem with this episode.
It stops in the middle of you guys talking at 27 mins.
Robb Wolf says
Gregor-will check that.
Sal says
still stops about min 27.. wanted to hear the question about jujubes but it cuts off
Zach says
I’ve been turning this over in my mind: I know that avoiding gluten as much as possible is the best idea, but if one were to cheat with a sandwich or something like that, would it actually be better (as in less inflammatory, less irritating to the gut, whatever) to eat white bread than wheat/multigrain? Enriched white bread has some more vitamins, etc. (although obviously not a good source of them) and, without the bran and germ wouldn’t it have LESS of the antinutrient content? Obviously white bread would basically be empty calories and might still instigate some kind of negative response depending on a person’s tolerance, but would whole wheat actually be more harmful?
Robb Wolf says
ZAch-
I guess so…
Stephanie says
Hey Robb – Can you please fix the audio link, since I can’t use the other link to listen to the podcast? Thanks!
Andy Deas says
Stephanie – the link is working fine for me. Can you please try again?
Robb Wolf says
Stephanie-
I think it;s good now, sorry about that. But we may only have half an episode on there…goofy day.
Mike Molloy says
RE: The ELISA tests.
These tests really only tell us whether or not we are making antibodies to the foods in the allergy tests. There are all other sorts of immune cells that can be involved in allergic and hyper-sensitivity reactions.
My goal in bringing this up isn’t to make everyone paranoid. Just keep in mind that if you’re having an issue with a certain food but come back with a negative ELISA test, you could still be sensitive to it. As Robb always says, pull it out for a month, reintroduce and then see how you look/feel/perform.
Robb Wolf says
Mike-
You will force me into a graduate Immunology class…I can see this!
thanks man.
Mark R. says
Hey Robb,
I just wanted to give a personal experience in regards to the Now Foods Super Enzymes. I was taking the tablets to the tune of about 3-5 with big meals (usually at least one per day) and didn’t experience “the burn”. When a recent bout of blood work came back, two of my liver enzymes were above normal and after following up with my doc (at his request) he believes that the pills were the cause of it. I don’t think this makes much a difference but just wanted to alert people if they see something abnormal in their liver enzymes.
Robb Wolf says
Mark-
AST? ALT? ALK phos? If you would not mind sharing those numbers it would help figure this out.
Craig says
I dig the sound of Robb speaking from the Space Cave.
Nate says
Still getting a PDF link for the podcast on your site. I’m not sure about iTunes though. I can’t access those files from my phone.
Robb Wolf says
Nate-
It works from this end:
http://robbwolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Paleolithic-Solution-Episode-39.mp3
Mark R. says
AST: 38
ALT: 64
ALK Phos: 39
I believe the ALT was above the normal range while the others were on the high end of the normal range. When I told him I was taking the enzymes and that they basically help digest fats and proteins, he said it made sense because another value that shows bile I believe was above normal.
Robb Wolf says
Mark-
ALK Phos is low-normal, ALT/AST are at the high end of normal. If he is thinking that fat absorption is driving those up it’s kinda odd. Folks DO see elevated ALT due to increased gluconeogenesis from high protein intake but this is not a sign of pathology. I’d bet this is due to more to that than digestive enzymes but you could just delete the enzymes and re-test.
Michael says
Hey guys good stuff so far. The podcast cut off at 27:25 on the site as well as iTunes
Deb says
Robb, Andy….I am only getting the episode up to the end of the red meat topic. Hope we can hear the rest soon.
jeff says
ummm…. is the rest of the episode going to be added? i was really looking forward to that post op nutrition, either way, thanks guys, awesome information!
Tom says
Same comments as above re: the episode cutting off. Also looking forward to the rest of the podcast. The List of Show Topics is like a newscast “teaser.”
Carolle says
27 minutes too 🙁
Mountain says
Hey guys, the audio stops at 27:24 even from the link Robb posted in the comments. It did that in both Google Chrome and Firefox, so I don’t think it’s a browser issue.
Kevin Burns says
Is some of the PODCAST missing ? Only see 26 minutes of it and nothing in audio past the meat intake question.
Mark R. says
I’m going again on the 21, I’ll keep you updated. My doc is also hoping to see my LDL fall below 130, 150 currently.
Robb Wolf says
Mark-
Check particle size, CRP and make sure their lab accounts for low triglycerides when they check LDL’s.
Mike says
Fascinating stuff in #39 on how the gut can become sensitized.
Coincidentally, I recently read a book called The Forgotten Highlander (Alistair Urquhart). Mr Urquhart was captured by the Japanese Army in WWII and damn near starved to death by them. About all he got much of the time was a tiny portion of polished rice. It did permanent damage to him and specially to his stomach. He says he now can’t easily digest many good rich foods, and sometimes rice is all his stomach will take.
Apparently, now in his 90s, this tough old Scot is teaching other elderly people how to use the Internet. Good for him.
Tom says
I am wondering about hypochlorhydria and achlorhydria after listening to Topic 2. I’m 34/m/168 and was diagnosed as being quite anemic about a year ago. Since that time, I have had numerous blood tests and a colonoscopy and have seen a GI doc as well as a hematologist. No one seems to have an answer for the pain and discomfort in my gut after every meal and snack, regardless of how clean (Paleo) I have eaten. I have not taken it in well over a year, but I used to take Prilosec on a very regular basis, twice a day. I still take one to two antacids a day and occasionally will pop a cimetidine pill. I realize these are not desirable solutions to my problems. However, I have been searching for relief for quite some time now. My question is whether a blood test indicates low stomach acid or whether the symptoms (e.g. gas, bloating, low iron?) are the main indicators of low stomach acid. I plan to discuss this with my GI doc but would appreciate any insight or perhaps a reference to an earlier podcast I might have missed. I am extremely hopeful that this might lead to some relief. Thanks.
Steve says
I (too) am having problems with the show cutting out at 27 mins. Even with the link you provided.
http://robbwolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Paleolithic-Solution-Episode-39.mp3
Anyway thanks for all you do for us.
Chris B says
Hi guys,
Sorry, but others have said, the podcast stops at about 25 minutes for the link on the blog page and the mp3 from Robb’s link in his 10:59 comment to Nate continues on for a little bit but then quits at about 27 minutes. And it was just gettin’ good too, dagnabit! (See, no swearing! ;p )
Flavio M says
Hey Robb, this episode is messed up, it doesn’t go beyond 27 mins. We want the whole dealeo… 😉
Robb Wolf says
Sorry amigo! I think it’s squared away.
ehayes says
Anyone having trouble with the link on the website can also try ITunes. FYI- The complete episode was available in ITunes all day.
For those who don’t like Vegetables…..When Chuck Norris wants a salad he eats a vegetarian.
Wes says
Robb,
Great podcasts. Can’t wait for the book!
Do you have any recommendations regarding ideal levels of blood ferritin?
Thanks!
Mark R. says
They did Cardio CRP and it was like 0.3. They didn’t do particle size but my trigs were in the mid 30’s I think. While he would like to see LDL come down, he said he’s not concerned because my trigs were so low and my HDL was high enough at 47. Thanks for the help Robb.
Robb Wolf says
Mark-
perfect, makes sense.
Jesse says
Hey Robb, solid podcast as usual. Works fine now, for me at least. Just wanted to throw out two articles that are front page on msnbc health this morning. It’s almost like all this stuff you’re saying has science behind it 😉 Keep up the awesome work dude!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38528158/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38528161/ns/health-cancer/
The cancer one was more interesting to me at least, since fructose just seems to keep causing problems.
Robb Wolf says
Thanks Jesse!
Drew says
Hey Robb, the show still quits at about 27 minutes, on all the links you’ve provided so far, just letting you know. Damn dirty technical difficulties!
MyDogEatsPaleo says
Rob!!!
Need some advice on something that hits close to home *cough*. Vasectomies.
I’m close to your age and I’m Obamafied (2 girls and I’m done… A boy would be great but if another girl is produced the estrogen concentration in this household would drive me insane). You’ve noted that you had the procedure done and got it reversed for fertility reasons. Although epidemiological evidence shows the procedure is safe, I’m mostly worried about the animal studies on macaque monkeys and rabbits that show immune complex deposition in inconvenient places causing atheromas in vasectomized vs. sham vasectomized subjects.
I’m 42 and Paleo to the bone (heh). Coronary calcium score is zero and I’m leaner than I was in college thanks to you and Cordain. Maybe I’m being selfish and paranoid but is the autoimmune risk of a vasectomy something to worry about?
Robb Wolf says
MyDog!
If the precedure includes cauterization of the vas I think that is a minor concern. It’s all a cost benefit consideration but this is a FRACTION the risk or invasiveness for similar female procedures.
Man up! Get snipped.
manny c says
thnx for a great show. even with the small technical blip it was enjoyable and learned bunches. really enjoyed the whole superfruit discussion. it’s funny how these purveyors always seem to hype up nutrient profiles that aren’t all that different from some run of the mill veggies. all the vitamin c talk reminded me about red bell peppers. a quick google shows that 1 cup/92g of red raw bell pepper (just part of the breakdown) has about 24.84 kcals w/ 5.92 g of total carbs contributing (1.84 of which are fiber). the vitamin c content is about 174.8 mg or roughtly 291.33% that’s sounds pretty super to me. maybe we could sell a super food of red bell peppers, oh someone already thought of that w/ salad or stirfry. you were definitely right when you said we’re hard pressed to find any nutrients in fruit we can’t get the same or better from a low sugar veggie alternative. keep fighting the good fight compadre!
john wells says
Robb-Shouldn’t people with anemia check their ferritin levels first before attempting better iron absorption methods.If they have hemachromotosis or thalassemia the iron would basically be better absorbed to the liver and other organs.
Robb Wolf says
John-
Sure, that’s a great point but I;d guess that would be addressed given this was a long standing issue.
Great point though.
Dr. Garrett Smith says
Tom,
A relatively normal set of bloodwork (CBC, CMP) can point a finger at hypochlorhydria, absolutely. One simply has to know what to look for. I find this all the time in my patients. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in me looking over your bloodwork (or helping you get some done if you need it) from within the last 3 months.
If you regularly rely on acid-reducing medications, it’s usually due to hypochlorhydria or a hiatal hernia.
Robb Wolf says
Thanks Doc!
Foltz says
A couple questions on saponins:
1) It seems that many otherwise fine vegetable foods have saponins in them – asparagus, tamarind, and garlic, for instance – and many of them are heat-resistant. Would always consuming the veggies with a fat&cholesterol source (say, a ceasar dressing containing egg yolks) give these natural “soaps” something to bind to other than our gut lining, thus preventing the damage?
2) You’ve tentatively mentioned that it may take 6 months for the gut to heal from gluten exposure. About how long would healing from saponin exposure take?
Allison says
This podcast is very strange. The first half is new part that was posted this morning and the second half is from last week. curious?
Robb Wolf says
Allison-
Really? I jsut checked it and it seems fine…but it all does sound the same!
Mallory says
PLEASE, you need to make your way to the SOUTHERN US….MISSISSIPPI, in particular AKA most obese state. I have no access here to good food unless I purchase from Pop’s Grassfed over in Texas. We have no farmer’s markets, no farm fresh food/vegetables save for my own garden. It is ridiculous down here. Not even a Whole Food or Trader Joes…cant find any dairy. Anyways, I have been at Paleo for a few years but i cannot spread the word myself, a nutrition seminar would be wonderful for these folks, they need it!!!!!!!!! Not to mention tell them to lift some heavy sh($T now and then instead of the new “Let’s go walking’ Mississippi” program
sorry, endng my rant! Love these podcast things
Robb Wolf says
Mallory-
Will be in Atlanta soon!
Mathieu Lalonde says
Zach,
Real sourdough, or any bread made from fermented grains, would be the best option. Still not ideal if you ask Robb or myself but it is the lesser of the evils in the bread category. The reason I emphasize “real” sourdough is that many bread makers defeat the purpose by adding various ingredients to sourdough bread. For example, the sourdough bread made by Whole Foods Market has added gluten! In some cases, it is not at all obvious that the flour was fermented (I suspect additives can be used to simulate the sourdough flavor).
Although the fermentation process changes the protein composition of the flour, it does not eliminate the small peptide fragments that elicit an immune response in celiacs, or causes zonulin release and the ensuing leaky gut in celiacs and normals.
clif harski says
Over on bengreefieldfitness.com he has an interview with alan aragon, who is a pretty vocal paleo critic, i’d like to hear your response to his critiques. I think he’s an arrogant dick, who contradicts himself the repeatedly.
Robb Wolf says
Cliff-
I think you covered it right there! The whole Lyle Mcdonald camp is funny. they do good work, are knowledgeable but seriously ahve a bug in their collective butts about this paleo/Evolutionary medicine thing. A simple set questions to ask Aragon:
1-
Q:Are there any clinical trials investigating whey protein and conjugate method training for the resolution of autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis?
A:No.
2-
Q:Are similar clinical trials underway investigating a paleo diet?
A: Yes, and preliminary findings are remarkable.
Theses guys are worse than vegans sometimes.
Meghan says
Hi Robb, I’m a recent paleo convert and wanted to get some bloodwork done to get a good baseline. I’ve tried to do some digging on your site, but can’t find a list of things that you recommend to have tested, i.e. A1C, CRP, cholesterol levels, LDL particle size, testosterone, etc. I know you’ve talked about this several times, but can’t find a complete list despite my digging. Thank you!!
Robb Wolf says
Meghan-
I’ll try to get that in the FAQ!
You are on the right track though!
Steven says
No West Virginian’s listening? Really? Even after I sent you guys the shirts and everything? I am hurt. LOL 🙂
Robb Wolf says
I know, I botched it! Listener count in WV=1
A guy recognized your Dojo when I wore the shirt in town!
Cody says
Hi Robb. I just wanted to mention a couple things and then I have a question. I wanted to thank you for all the free info you hand out. It’s nice to see someone who is as honest and forthcoming without trying to sell their gimmick ‘Nutrient Bars’! Anybody who asks how I stay lean while eating so much fat I give them your blog address. It seems that people laugh at me and make some form of ‘Atkins Diet’ joke when I try and let them in on some nutrition info, but those same people soon become converts once they try it out. So thanks.
My question is this: I’ve been eating paleo for about 6 months and feel great, so much so that I’ve stopped taking selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors about 4 months ago. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this ‘acute’. About 10 days ago I started the ultra low carb version of Paleo because I seemed stuck at around 10% BF with a small amount of love handle fat. It took about a week for my energy to come around but this morning after my WOD I rattled off 6 chest to bar pullups almost effortlessly, something I previously struggled to string together more than a couple at a time! Just out of curiosity I bought some ketostix and thought I would do a urinalysis. I haven’t noticed any bad breath lately, and I was curious to see if I am ketogenic. The problem is though, I don’t know for sure what I’m looking for. What do you think my mg/dL should be around.
Thanks again
P.S. You guys say ‘cool’ way too much in the podcasts, which are otherwise awesome.
Robb Wolf says
Cody-
If you are ketone adapted you may not show much if any ketones in the urine. You may jsut need to go by how you feel and perform.
BTW-Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!
Tom says
Thanks, Dr. Smith. I had some blood drawn last week for the first time in six months. I plan to discuss with my GI doc (the doc I use as most of my “issues” are digestion related). I appreciate your offer and may hit you up for some guidance if I cannot find relief soon. Thank you again.
gary martins says
anyone know of a good source for buying bulk coconut milk?
Alex says
Thanks as always for the podcast. I enjoyed the episode-8-esque audio quality – it really took me back.
I am a CrossFit coach and affiliate owner and I have what I think must be a common problem. I am trying to integrate mobility/maintenance and strength work into my programming, but my clients complain they aren’t working hard enough. They love it when I beat the crap out of them and aren’t satisfied with their workouts unless they “see the white buffalo in the sky”
Should I program what I know to be best for them, or give ’em what they want?
Robb Wolf says
Alex-
Some of both! You jsut need to change the culture. We did this in 2005. it meet some resistance, now it;s just how it all works. You have PLENTY of time to crush peeps and do some pre-rehab.
Peter says
On the subject of coconut milk, Nell Stephenson blogged a few days ago that guar gum, which is also used as an emulsifier in coconut milk, has significant amounts of saponins. Given that I have an autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s), coconut milk is now a no-go. I won’t be too bummed unless I get bad news my new favorite – coconut oil.
Robb Wolf says
Peter-
Just look around, not all varieties have guar gum.
Caleb Whitfield says
I can attest to the quality of food having an effect on sleep. I work a graveyard shift 4 nights of the week (7pm-5am) along with college classes so sleep is hard to come by. My diet has been a constant evolution since the Robb Wolf Nutrition Seminar I attended last Nov. in Atlanta (oddly enough, his last with CF!) I’d say the last few months has seen me dial in pretty well what works and what doesn’t along with the introduction of more and more grass fed meat sources. If I stick with my routine I can run optimally on less than ideal sleep, say 5-6 hours a night. If I decide to veer off track though, I can’t seem to pull myself out of bed regardless of whether or not I’ve trained hard, etc.
My problem and subsequent question comes from my unique circumstance of working overnight 4 days/week then trying to have a normal life and go to bed at a decent hour on weekend nights, around 12pm. My body is used to staying up so I end up lying in bed for several hours before I finally nod off. I’ve tried melatonin but I seemed to have grown some resistance to it and have been hesitant to up the dosage. I have no idea how much would be bad?! I do not want to use any drug laden alternatives either. Any advice on the melatonin dosing? What’s the max? Any other ‘natural’ supplements I should know about. Thanks.
Also, I really enjoyed your take on the idea of not beating oneself to death everytime they step into a crossfit box. I have begun implementing this into my training (go hard every now and again, listen to your body) and I’m setting PR’s like crazy! Or it could just be the grass fed cow. Who knows?
(Sorry for the long post, I’m a first timer)
Robb Wolf says
Caleb-
Great stuff! thanks for the post.
Michael says
PayNowLiveLater had a fun blog on additives in Coconut milk.
Here’s a good brand:
http://www.ayam.com/coconut-certifications.html
I personally stick to the coconut milk and cream – just coconut (~80% I’m sure) & water
the ‘organic’ version has some ‘organic’ thickener of sorts…
Thalin says
Hey robb! I am a little confused by the nkw superenzymes thing. In an older podcast you said that thise who don’t feel the heat could just be “funny responders” and you said to just cap the pills at 5 per meal. In this episode you mention that the issue can well be achloridia. How do i know whether i am a funny responder or achloridic? I have been taking 5 pills 1/2 meals a day. My digestion has gone a little better but not much….
Thanks! I cannot wait to see yiu in cooenhagen!
Robb Wolf says
Thalin-
I think it’s likely one and the same. And as in the achloridia you do supportive measures to help the digestions. Perhaps Dr. Smith can give folks an idea of what is in the blood work that indicates the achlordia.
Squatchy says
Listening to the usual podcast goodness got me thinking. How fastidious should we be about gluten avoidance/contamination living with someone who eats gluten (breads, microwave dinners, pasta, cereal, etc.). Should we be worried about thorough cleaning of dishes, counter tops, wiping things down, etc. or is that getting OCD about it? Is that level of gluten avoidance only valid for Celiacs?
I see you’re coming to Atlanta, awesome! I think I just might have to attend this seminar.
Robb, I think I’ve found your new favorite movie
http://www.amazon.com/Attack-Vegan-Zombies-Christine-Egan/dp/B0038YX2DM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1281124241&sr=8-1&tag=dealswoot-20
Andy, if you haven’t heard this song, you should.

Kevin says
Rob and Andy,
I took the apple cinnamon custard ice cream idea and ran with it. I had to make a few mods to get a creamy texture but it’s still paleo.
Ingredients:
1 can full fatty coconut milk
2 eggs
1 large apple
1 big tsp cinnamon
1 big tsp fresh RAW honey
Heat the coconut milk, cinnamon, and apple to a slow roll for about 10 minutes or until the apples are soft. Remove from heat allow to cool a few minutes and then puree.
Whisk the 2 eggs in a glass bowl and slowly add some of the warm coconut mixture while still whisking. Add a little bit at a time to avoid scrambling the egg. Continue to whisk until it thickens like custard.
Let the custard cool and then add the raw honey, and stick it in the fridge for a bit. Then finally add the mixture to the ice cream maker and let it run for 20-30 minutes.
This stuff came out unbelievably delicious! Very creamy and soft. Makes about 4 cups, which won’t last long 🙂
julianne says
Peter,
As a fellow Hashimotos sufferer (recently diagnosed, not on meds) can you share anything in particular that is working for you. Eg all the foods / drinks you have cut out, what difference this made. Any supplements?
What if anything is a must do.
And lastly – have you been able to reduce your anti-bodies?
I’m hoping to avoid ever having to take thyroid meds! So any input is welcome.
Rafe Kelley says
Just wanted to drop a comment on the idea there is a vast amount of technical knowledge involved in moving around environments.
It amuses me that this perspective has taken Erwans movnat project to become popularized in the functional fitness/paleo community when parkour has been around focused soley on this for years.
The skill to effectively move over obstacles and through complex environments is an important element of an ancestral approach to fitness in my view. Furthermore though I think the focus on technical development through increasingly complex movement patterns develops is the optimal method for develop all around athleticism especially in refining the nervous learn and innovate new motor patterns. This is shown by gymanstics but parkour and movnat both take this in much more utilitarian direction.
I am glad to hear that Erwan is effectively teaching this but I think that people are missing the oppurtonity to learn this from the people who focus on this the most if you want to learn how to move over obstacles I would suggest looking into the parkour community there are allot of good coaches in pk who have not developed the same profile as erwan but who who have developing the teaching of this stuff for a long time. Apex movement, the monkey vault, primal fitness, or drop by and visit us at parkour visions next time your in seattle to name a few.
Robb Wolf says
Rafe-
Roll out these outstanding parkour coaches! Show us how they have made this scaleable for 300lb stay-at-home moms in addition to top level athletes. Show me the integrated community approach that has an eye on rehab, nutrition, recovery, lifestyle and the rest. I’ll support those people just as strongly as I’ve supported Erwan.
Juho says
Couple of questions for the podcast:
1. What’s your take on the blood thinning effects of fish oil? Are there any concerns for average size/weight male taking in roughly 10 grams of EPA + DHA? I eat paleo and am fairly healthy (even though I regularly listen to the podcast).
Also, when your lovely wife Nicki eventually snaps and slices you into little pieces, could you ask her to report the empirical findings on the blood thinning effects of fish oil?
2. If you had the oppurtunity to go back in time and start coaching a young robb wolf, what would you do?
Would you put little Robb on strict paleo or slowly start cleaning up his diet step by step? Also, what kind of an exercise program would you put him on?
Who’s advice would you tell him to listen to when it comes to diet and exercise?
I understand this is a wide question, so Andy don’t let Robb go into tiny detail.
Awesome job on the podcast so far!
Best regards,
Juho from Finland
Dr. Paula says
I just listened to episode 39 while out running (recovering from meniscus repair, training for 2011 marathon) and have to comment on your dangerous answer to Steve question #10. First of all, the 12.6 he mentioned at the blood donation is NOT iron, it is Hemoglobin. They screen for anemia, not do an iron workup. A 46 year old male should not be borderline anemic unless he has been donating several times a year. The fact that his sister is anemic is not genetic- she loses blood every month or so. He needs to see a doctor to find out if he has occult blood loss, like GI cancer. Please tell him this.
I also have to comment about your request for post op breast augmentation consultation. My favorite operation I ever saw was a breast reduction. More of those should be done. Can’t imagaine running with water balloons stuck to my chest.
Lastly, since Andy frequently makes corrections of your performance art- I can’t believe that after 38 episodes he doesn’t know he shouldn’t laugh or exhale directly into the mike! It sounds worse than the Married With Children laugh track.
I wish I could put all my patients on a paleo diet. I do try to order gluten-free and/or dairy free in the hospital when I can get away with it. I work on a psychiatric ward (as the medical consultant) and would love to try it out to see if it really helps depression.
My 16 yo son and I have been 90% paleo since January. His lacrosse coach has the team do cross fit work outs, and my son had me research paleo. It makes good sense to me. Thanks for the podcast and stuff.
Robb Wolf says
Dr. Paula-
I’ll look at that again, thanks for the input.
Dr. Paula says
Sorry, it was Eric question #10.
Steve # 6 is sort of my description, except different age and sex.
Rafe Kelley says
Hey Robb thanks for the reply I am sorry my response is tardy, I also apologize for the poor grammar/syntax in the above post.
I was unable to reply because I was organizing a summit for information sharing in parkour that took place this weekend you can check out the details here http://parkourvisions.org/parkour-summit-2010/. We had Stephan Guyenet of Whole Health Source, speaking on nutrition, Scott Hagnass of Crossfit Portland Speaking on gymnastics strength training, Rene Scavington of Parkour BC on weight training, Mike Hamm of the halycon studio and the cortiva institute talking about injury mechanism prehab and rehab, and I spoke about understanding parkour from a programming perspective and achieving your goals through parkour training.
I think I can claim to be promoting just the type of holistic approach your talking about. We have had students over 300 pounds and ranging in age from 4-72 our mission is to extend the benefits of parkour training to as many people as possible.
I have trained with and talked extensively with the teachers at Apex movement in Denver and Boulder, Urban Evolution In Virginia, primal fitness in BC, and the monkey vault in toronto and believe by and large they all share this approach. I think unfortunately we have not had the chance to build our profiles as much because we have been busy organizing our local communities, and building gyms but I am hoping that people outside the parkour world can start seeing these programs for the resources they are.
Robb Wolf says
RAFE! Scotty told me about this event and i did not put things together. In the future shoot me these events and let me help you promote them.
Rafe Kelley says
Cool thanks Robb Will do.
Renae says
Robb and Andy,
need a quick clarification:
1. Now Foods Super Enzymes (NFSE), tablets or capsules?
2. If I am achloridic, should I be taking probiotics?
3. If yes, can I take probiotics before a meal and NFSE mid meal or do they need to be spaced out?
4. Can I take Fish oil and NFSE in the same meal?
Thanks!
Robb Wolf says
1-caps!
2-yes
3-before, first think in the am is good
4yes, not problem.

Hi, thanks Robb and Andy for offering free advice for us loyal followers. Anyway I really wanted to listen to episode 39 but like others have said it is still only 27 mins long, could you please fix this or email me the full podcast. Thanks

Hey Robb!,
I know this is super late but I’ve been listening to all your podcasts from the beginning and just loving them.. definitely going to send in a question to the Podcast soon as I’m having some real challenges with body comp. and been Paleo for almost a year now.. But my question today here is I cannot seem to get the Full Episode 39 – no matter whether it’s from iTunes or your website here.. Always stops short at 27 minutes..
The rest of the topics look really interesting and i’d LOVE to hear the rest.. left hanging in limbo ! :))

Hi Robb,
The trascript was cut off at the original 27th minute which is a shame. I was trying to do a search because I remembered an important bit of info I wanted to look up. I usually use the site filter clause in a google search which gets rid of much of the noise in the results, e.g.:
site:robbwolf.com “order of operations”
This should have come up with episode 39, but it didn’t because the second half of the transcript is missing. If you could look into it please that’d be great. Thanks! Love your work!
