The ‘Metcon’ (short for metabolic conditioning) is a staple of CrossFit style training. Typically it is two to three exercises repeated for rounds. A classic example from CrossFit is one called “Cindy”, one round consisting of 5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats. This is repeated for 20 minutes and scored based on the number of rounds completed. A metcon… Continue Reading

Paleo and Testosterone
To say that this paleo/ancestral life-way has saved and dramatically improved my life would be something between spot on and a complete understatement. I was really sick when I came on all this back in 1998 and for being almost 40 I feel like I’m doing pretty well. But I wonder at times if I’m… Continue Reading
Paleo Pumpkin Chili over Spaghetti Squash
One un-intended but very cool outcome of writing a book and doing all this blogging has been contact with old friends from high-school and growing up. The following recipe is from my pal Brandy who is an avid CrossFitter and pretty damn good Paleo-Chef-in-training. Pumpkin Paleo Chili on Spaghetti Squash w/ Butternut-sage Drizzle. (It honestly tastes better to me… Continue Reading
Fish Oil
Ahhh…fish oil. A whole industry built around supplying us with something that should be a natural part of our food supply. Prior to the 1970’s meat and dairy in the United states was still grass fed so we received ample amounts of the main constituents of fish oil, EPA and DHA, as part of our… Continue Reading
What is the Paleo Diet?
It’s funny, but in all the time that I’ve written on this paleo diet topic I’ve never really defined (in my terms) what I think constitutes a “paleo diet.” I laid out some general guidelines in the book and FAQ of course, but I’ve never done that for the blog. I think part of my… Continue Reading
Framework Matters
I’m generally an optimistic guy. I see the good in people and I USUALLY think we can change the world for the better. A few recent events have seriously shaken my faith in both the goodness of people and the ability for us to “crowd source” our way out of a serious pickle. I’m going… Continue Reading
Paleo Comfort Foods!!
I need to tell y’all about a book, Paleo Comfort Foods. Here is the Foreword that I wrote for the book, check it out and then meet me at the bottom. I’ll bring brownies. I had an idea for a cookbook. Once. Then a set of circumstances proved to me that my cookbook would… Continue Reading
Expedition Impossible: The Modern Gypsies!
I’ll admit it. I kinda dig reality shows. Well some of them. Anything with “Jersey” in it I prefer to wait for The Soup highlights to catch all the bronzed-boobs, nip-slips and cat-fights. But adventure shows, I am “in.” Now, what if we had an adventure show that had a pretty cool premise (run around… Continue Reading
Vancouver, BC Paleo Solution Seminar
Just wrapped up a great seminar in Vancouver, BC. Nicki and I got to hang out with a bunch of friends we have not seen in a looong time. It was fantastic. We also went to a dinner at Lupo (which means “Wolf” in Italian oddly enough) with the winners of the CrossFit Canada Paleo Challenge. It was one of the… Continue Reading
Back From the Beyond: Updates and Musings
Well, I’m back. Most of me that is, I’m about 16lbs lighter than when I went off the grid and have a hell of a story to tell…but you may need to wait until early-mid September to get the full story. Not trying to be cryptic but I participated in a project that precludes me… Continue Reading
