In early Spring 2012, I’ll be heading north from Washington State through British Columbia, NWT, and Yukon to the Arctic Ocean. From there I’ll be connecting the dots of a 7,000 mile loop through Alaska and back to the starting point. I’ll be paddling 7 rivers, and burning zero fuel for transportation. The methods of… Continue Reading

New Year = New You!
Bulky sweaters, sweat pants, sweat shirts, elastic waistbands – it’s winter. Not only is this the season for comfort foods – but it’s also the season for ‘comfort clothes’. Unfortunately, when spring rolls around and it’s time to shed those layers of cloth we don’t always like the ‘permanent layers’ (um, yeah, that’s fat…) we… Continue Reading
Caroline Nichols, USA Field Hockey
This is an awesome story and it is definitely a big deal when an elite athlete steps away from mainstream dietary advice to explore the benefits of Paleo. Thanks Tim for sharing Caroline’s story. Please make sure to check out more of Tim’s work at My Athletic Life. – Robb Choosing to eat a Paleo… Continue Reading

Make the Most of the ‘Off-season’
The last ‘big’ races/events are over for the season – triathlons, cycling, marathons, the Games – all done for another year. It’s officially the ‘off-season’; the time for our bodies to rest, recover, and start preparing for the next go. While the ‘off-season’ is commonly associated with athletes, it truly applies to all of us. … Continue Reading
Myra’s Story: “You don’t have to be perfect…”
The only thing I can see as a “starting factor” to my eating disorder is that I began taking birth control about the same time and started dealing with depression off and on. I have been battling with bulimia, bingeing and purging, since I was 19. Now, almost 32, I look back and wonder how… 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
“I was a vegetarian for most of my life…” – A Life Changing Revelation.
This is an odd statement to use in this particular situation, but here goes: I was a vegetarian for most of my life, and it actually didn’t completely ruin me. Yep…I started abstaining from meat when I was about four years old, oddly enough, for moral reasons. The rest of my family ate meat, but as… Continue Reading
Paleo Athletes Uncovered: Olympic Hopeful Ursula Grobler
Can an endurance athlete be successful eating a paleo diet? I hear this question all of the time and I was actually the one asking it a few years ago. Does it work? Yep. How do I know? I tried it and actually won a marathon eating paleo. My experience completely changed my life –… Continue Reading
