What I like about PaleoNu is its insistence on corroborating the speculative nature of the Primal lifestyle with hard science.

PaleoNu – An MD, and a practicing radiologist, Kurt Harris runs a fantastic no-nonsense blog exploring the evolutionary diet. I think there was a merger between Animal Pharm and Nephropal not sure. This is high-level stuff that might require a second (or third) reading, but it’s worth the time and effort. Nephropal – “Health from an evolutionary standpoint,” with a nod to kidney function in particular. BG is a little wacky and a bit zany, but she somehow manages to seamlessly blend steady references to mainstream pop music with science-based lipophilia. He makes delicious Primal food and writes honestly about everyday life as a modern Grok.Īnimal Pharm – Dr. Son of Grok – Although he hasn’t updated in awhile, I’ll always reserve a special place in my heart (and on my blogroll) for the Son of Grok.

I don’t know how he finds this stuff, but Chris always manages to pull something interesting out of the Internet ether and highlight it on his blog. Eades’ firm grasp on the science, coupled with his acid wit, makes for an educational, entertaining read on the soft science of dietary fat and carbohydrates.Ĭonditioning Research – Cutting edge research, especially the stuff on fitness. Michael Eades dismantle studies, especially pro-statin papers (for which he seems to reserve special rancor). Protein Power – It’s always a pleasure watching Dr. His attempts to articulate the intangible aspects of training succeed, time and time again. It is brutally effective and efficient, though, and Keith’s theories on power, CNS stimulation, and “the perfect rep” are insightful and evocative. It’s not quite CrossFit, and it’s not quite basic barbell training. Theory to Practice – Keith Norris trains hard in a pretty unique way. His experiment has gone pretty well, and you could learn a lot from it. He’s also a damned entertaining writer with a complete lack of fear when it comes to dietary self-experimentation. He swears on a semi-regular basis, and he definitely doesn’t suckle fools. It’s definitely worth getting your feet wet.įree the Animal – Richard is fiery and can really rub people the wrong way. He gets ultra technical, though, so if you aren’t familiar with such terminology as oxidized LDL, familial hypercholesterolemia, lipoprotein(a), or ApoE, you may want to wade in slowly. He’s a veterinary anaesthesiologist by day and a high fat nutrition expert by night. Hyperlipid – Peter delves deep into the science of fat. If you’re interested in fat-soluble vitamins, traditional diets, and understanding the increasingly-obfuscated science of lipids, Whole Health Source is the place to go. If he’s biased, it’s in favor of unfettered, unfiltered science. Whole Health Source – Stephan is logical, rational, and completely fair. So, without further ado, I present my recommended list of nutrition, health, fitness, and all things Primal-related readings, viewings, listenings, and perusings. You’re reading MDA, so I’m going to assume you care about what I have to say – at least a little bit.
REVIEW IREADOR CODE
How’d you hear about your favorite book or album of all time? Did you let an online algorithm determine what genre/artist/author/etc you’d prefer? Or did a trusted friend, colleague, or family member make a recommendation? I dunno about you, but I’ll take personal recommendations from people I trust over what some impersonal line of code thinks I should like, given the choice between the two.
REVIEW IREADOR OFFLINE
Besides, blogrolls don’t cover books, or films, or other offline resources, and despite the undeniable ease of relying totally on blogs and websites, those offline resources can’t be ignored. And a quick peek into the blogrolls of your favorite sites can be useful, but there’s often little explanation or explication to accompany the listings. Yeah, Google is a godsend, but it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, especially when a top 10 Google search ranking doesn’t necessarily indicate quality of content so much as it indicates the effectiveness of a site’s search engine optimization (although it doesn’t hurt to have both…). Wikipedia and Google help me to a certain point, but I soon become overwhelmed it’s hard to put everything together… where do I go from there? I was given a good introduction in “Good Calories, Bad Calories” and of course the 3rd chapter in your book, where you talk about insulin, or even your article “what happens when you carb binge”. I’m becoming VERY interested in learning how the body works what happens when we eat carbohydrates, the effects of antioxidants, etc. I recently received an email question from a knowledge-hungry reader.
