It’s been exactly one year since Wired to Eat launched and became my 2nd New York Times best selling book. Reminiscing on this, I wanted to pull together my favorite 5 podcasts talking about the book…and much more.
On each episode we’ll talk Wired to Eat (how we’ve gotten to our modern food system, the gut microbiome, insulin sensitivity, 30-Day Reset, and more) as well as wherever else our conversation takes us (highlighted below)…
Wellness Force Radio: how I struggled with my own health and inherited genetics, also chat about how I met Nicki, and why this idea of “calories in, calories out” simply doesn’t work.
The Joe Rogan Experience: we’ll chat how fungal overgrowths in the gut microbiome affect you, my thoughts on GMOs, ibuprofen, and CBD oil, plus…we talk coyotes.
Nourish Balance Thrive Podcast: why I felt the need to write another book and why the Paleo diet is “more misunderstood than a goth kid in Arkansas”
Sustainable Dish Podcast with Diana Rodgers, RD: we talk about the person-to-person variation in insulin and glucose responses to different foods (mainly carbs), also how our junk food industry was created
Revolution Health Radio: Chris Kresser and I talk about altering the neuroregulation of appetite and everything that feeds into it, what Chris aptly defined as the Paleo 3.0 diet, and the personalization of your way of eating.
A big takeaway from Wired To Eat is finding what works for YOU and YOUR body. Carbohydrates are an important lever to pull when it comes to your health.

Hallo Robb,
I’ve been doing the carb test and i have a quick question relating to that. It is my understanding, that the only reason to restrict carbs (to a certain amount) is because of the effects on blood glucose and therefore insulin secretion. But is it the insulin secretion or the carbs themselves that make us fat? I tolerante cold rice and cold potatoes extremely well (no change at all both at 1 and 2 hour mark). But does that meal that i can eat a lot of that without gaining fat or will a large amount still cause me to gain fat because it is carbohydrates?
Best regards
The Danish man
GREAT question. Too many calories make us fat, BUT we tend to over eat when we have crazy blood sugars swings from high to low. So, it’s not really an “either/or” but a matrix driven process. Let me know if that helps.
So, I’ve been an avid follower for a good number of years now, Pretty much 80/20 Paleo. WTE is awesome.
I started the 30day reset and added AIP since I have autoimmune issues (AS for years) and have been experiencing some nasty GI issues lately, lots of “urgency” right after eating 😉.
I did the Everlywell sensitivity test and it turns out I’m highly reactive to eggs. I was suspicious of that but I really thought it may have been the peppers. Turns out I have minimal reaction to all the Nightshades.
Q: do think it’s ok to add the Nightshades back in or just because I show no reaction doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t bother me. Curious.
Thanks man, keep it up!
I should mention I’ve been on Humira for a year or more which has made a huge difference in my AS symptoms. Just concerned about the GI stuff
I’d just follow the standard elimination protocol: remove, reintroduce, observe. I have serious problems with eggs these days…i generally avoid them, which sux!
Hi I am really enjoying your book but I have a quick question which might sound a bit silly…. when you say 115-175g per meal does this mean the weight of the actual meat or the amount of protein in the meat? And also the same with the carbs because even 75g carbs is hard to hit with just fruit and veg… or am I just reading into it wrong?
Yes, that would be the weight of the actual meat.
The 75g would be the amount of carbs in the food. For example, an apple has about 25g of carbs, so 3 apples would hit about 75g of carbs.
So glad you asked this question! I was completely confused!
I’ reading the Kindle version of Wired to Eat. Great information!
Regarding the food matrix, in the book I read the following:
“Here is a chart I call the Food Matrix to give you a sense of what most meals will look like. You can download the full Food Matrix chart at robbwolf.com/foodmatrix”
The link you provided sends me to a page that “no longer exists”. Can you post a link where I can find the matrix?
Thank you for your help.
You can find the Food Matrix here https://robbwolf.com/resources/
I can also email it to you if need be as well.
i’m about to start the 30 day reset, and wondering if there are any plant-based protein options?
