The ever-elusive barefoot dress shoe may soon be upon us – with your help. The folks behind the Primal Professional are trying to raise capital for the project through pre-orders [3]. Go grab one today (for tomorrow) and help this stuff hit the corporate world!
Are you ready for Super Broccoli [4]?
Sean Croxton and I just can’t quit each other. I appeared on his Underground Wellness [5] radio show and answered a ton of questions from his readers, live. Go give it a listen [6].
Even BPA-free plastics contain chemicals with estrogenic activity that leach into food and liquid, Chris Kresser explains in a recent post [7]. And they may be making you fat, sick, and infertile (you won’t catch that tagline on a Tupperware ad anytime soon).
Richard Nikoley asks a simple question [8]. What’s your answer?
From the Sock Doc, learn how connective tissue repairs itself [9] – and how we can provide the tools it needs.
NPR’s take on the Paleo diet [10] was perhaps one of the weakest I’ve ever seen. Luckily, folks represented in the comment section. Go join in on the fun.
What’s this, you say? Giving kids stand-up desks leads to increased calorie expenditure? [11] Pretty obvious, you might say, but I’m just glad they’re doing studies on stand-up desks. Now let’s figure out what it does to learning and productivity.
In a recent two-week study [12], an enzyme-activator designed to boost mitochondrial function extended the life of mice, protected them from diet-induced obesity, and doubled their wheel running endurance. How ’bout them mitochondria?
I thought this was pretty clever [13].
Recipe Corner
- French meets Thai meets Primal: red curry coconut quiche [14].
- More people should eat okra. Spicy macadamia nut okra [15] is one way to do it.
Time Capsule
One year ago (Oct 25 – Oct 31)
- Should You Trust Medical Studies? [16] – Between bias, cherry-picking, false results, and a research integrity deficit, it’s getting harder to know what to think about the studies you see.
- Just How Long Did Grok Live, Really? [17] – How accurate are our age-of-death estimates for Paleolithic man?
Comment of the Week
Getting rid of the cell phone is like silencing a screaming monkey for good. I ditched mine years ago. Even if you don’t live near nature, getting rid of the phone helps you become a little more human again.
- Commenter knifegill on the “Spiritual Encounters in Nature [18]” post. I appreciated the figurative language and the call for a break from the cell phone, but then again, I’m a sucker for monkeys. Even screaming ones.
