Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I’m 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we’ve assumed to be true about health and wellness...
With the Primal/paleo/ancestral/real food/whatever-moniker-you-prefer community growing by leaps and bounds over the past year, I thought I’d do another “blogs you should be reading” post. I’ve done this sort of thing before, both last year and the year before. Once again, there are a ton of blogs out there that I’ve either missed or forgotten to include in previous installments, along with newer ones that are newer and therefore less likely to be on my (or anyone’s radar). But that’s how we rectify the situation and get even more people reading these great blogs – by calling attention to them. Now, not all of them are strictly Primal; some only give passing mention to the specifics of evolutionary health. All the blogs included, however, are relevant to anyone interested in learning about health, fitness, nutrition, and general wellness. And isn’t that what we’re all doing here, anyway? Trying to learn how to improve our lives and the lives of those around us?
Melissa and Dallas Hartwig form the core of the Whole 9 team. Their philosophy revolves around the Whole 30, a 30-day trial run of complete and utter purity and adherence to the diet, and word has it that it’s brutally effective. They also just came out with a book, to which I gave some recent link love, but most importantly, they’re absurdly good looking, write a great blog wherein they give excellent training/eating/living advice, and coin such awesome phrases as “sex with your pants on.” Let them “change your life.”
Stefani Ruper is the gal who spurred that women and fasting post from a couple weeks back. If you dug her perspective on the topic of intermittent fasting, you’ll really love her blog, which deals with, well, it’s right there in the name – Paleo for Women. The hormonal situation in women is a totally different ball of wax than the admittedly simpler and more straightforward endocrine system in men. We deal in the same raw materials, sure, but the amounts, proportions, and effects are different. To get a handle on all this stuff, check out her blog (where she also deals with another oft-ignored topic in our community, eating disorders).
70s Big has evolved over the years. What began as an online homage to heavy squats, big deadlifts, bigger meals, even bigger mustaches, short shorts, tank tops, and the hirsute men of the greatest decade ever to grace the 20th century has become a training blog that promotes smart training, smart programming, and smart eating, breaks down complex kinesiological and anatomical concepts, and yes, still pays homage to heavy squats, big deadlifts, bigger meals, even bigger mustaches, short shorts, tank tops, and the hirsute men of the 70s who bore them. If you’re into lifting, check it out.
I’ve mentioned Kelly Starrett before. Heck, I even invited him to the last PrimalCon, where he loosened wound-up hip capsules, blessed attendees with improved thoracic mobility, and mashed quads galore. But I’m going to do it again, in a formal way, because you probably need what he’s giving. If you’re a human being with (technically) working limbs, you should visit Mobility WOD, try a few of the WODs, test-retest, and note the improvement in your movement. Oh, and whatever you do, stay out of the pain cave.
Though perhaps not the first choice you’d send to your grandma interested in all this “nutrition stuff you’re always yammering on about” to read, the blog of molecular biology expert Lucas Tafur is worth studying. He’s keenly interested in the interplay between our nutrition, the gut microbiota, the immune system, inflammation, and our health. His tagline says it all: “We are 90% microbes and 10% human.” If you’ve ever wondered about those things, and you have a scientific bent, get on over to Lucas Tafur’s blog.
To nom is to “eat something.” To nom nom is to “eat something vigorously and with great enthusiasm.” To nom nom Paleo is to “eat fantastic Paleo chow.” That about sums up Nom Nom Paleo, a Palo Alto, CA-based blog wherein the purveyor takes stunning photographs of food and family, provides great recipes (Kalua pig is probably my favorite so far), and along the way ends up giving excellent advice to families trying to make this Primal thing work in a decidedly non-Primal world.
A former MovNat master trainer, Clifton has moved ship to San Diego, where he dispenses training advice, helps men and women develop rotunder posteriors, and has singlehandedly jumpstarted a seriously-suffering V-neck industry. He offers online consulting, as well as poignant insight on topics pertaining to getting stronger, fitter, faster, and more mobile.
Denise Minger, infamous study-eviscerator and bane of vegans everywhere, eats a near-vegetarian raw food diet. Huh? Yeah, it’s crazy. She’s not about Primal, or veganism, or carnivorism, or anything with a label. She’s only interested in disseminating the truth about nutrition. Which is why you should read her blog, especially if you’ve already enjoyed her many guests posts on this site. Oh, yeah, she’s also pretty darn hilarious.
What’s not to love about a blog meticulously written and researched by a ketotic, self-experimenting, endurance athlete MD? Inside The Eating Academy you’ll find well-researched posts on a variety of topics, including an epic series on blood lipids, posts about training in ketosis, and the dangers (or not) of non-nutritive sweeteners. The blog began as The War on Insulin, but Peter Attia has expanded his focus to encompass a wider range of topics. At about a year old, it’s one of the newer blogs around, but it’s already getting loads of attention and providing great content, and I’m excited to see what he has in store for us.
Suzanne Crawt, also known as Paleo Suz, is a frequent attendee of PrimalCon, coming all the way from Australia. And she’s put together a great resource for Australians and New Zealanders interested in making Primal work in their neck of the woods. If you want to know where to get the best prices on compliant products, how to cook Primal versions of traditional local foods, find Australian and NZ health professionals with an ancestral bent, or connect with other folks of similar mindsets who live there, the Paleo Network is the spot to do it.
I’m halfway convinced that Suppversity is written by a robot. The highly detailed, data-and-insight-packed breakdowns of studies he churns out on a near-daily basis boggle the mind and seem unreal. But they’re real, and they’re informative. If you’re interested in hearing about the latest study on the estrogenic effects of soy protein, the asthma-fighting effects of whole milk, or whether that workout supplement you keep hearing about actually works, read Suppversity.
Although we do our best to make Primal living in this non-Primal world work, it’s not always easy. And sometimes, you want to hear from someone who’s faced this conundrum and (seemingly) won, particularly if they have a smart, clean writing style. You could probably learn a thing or two from a person like that, right? Luckily, Paleo/NonPaleo is a blog almost entirely devoted to that exact dilemma, with that exact writing style. Start with her inaugural post that drew the fans in – 27 Ways to Live With Your Non-Paleo Spouse – and see what you think. Then, explore the rest of the site.
As always, I’d love to hear from you. What are your favorite Primal-friendly blogs? Do you read the ones I’ve listed? Why, or why not? Are there any you’d remove from the list? Let me, and everyone, know in the comment section! Thanks for reading, folks.
I’m afraid if I read one more blog or listen to one more podcast my brain will explode.

Agreed. It’s definitely possible to OD on this stuff. I did scan a bit of the Paleo for Women, and frankly, if I read one more psycho-babble article on why “overeating isn’t really our fault”, I will barf up my grassfed beef and veggies. The first step to weight loss and better health is ALWAYS going to be ownership for what we put in our mouths!

One of my favorite health/nutrition blogs is Whole Health Source (Ancestral Nutrition and Health): http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/
Stephan’s posts are always fascinating and educational.
Hi Mark – thanks for this list. I have 2 of them in my reader, and will likely add a few more.
I write a blog (www.FitnessGazette.net) helping people take a long-term view of fitness. Getting from couch to healthy doesn’t have to happen overnight, and doesn’t require completely changing your already too busy lifestyle.. Small changes add up to big results over time.
Love MobilityWOD. Listen to all of the video casts. Kstar really knows what he is doing. It’s incredible how much information is up there, all for free! You can literally type in a body part and get a ton of videos on how to get rehab that body part, or just keep it mobile. Great site. Whole 9 is also a great site. it focuses more on how eating a diet that consists of meats, fruits and veggies can effect our health in so many different ways. They try not to think of it in terms of our history, or… Read more »

I think one of the most effective ways to improve mobility is to do some foresting regularly in a dense forest with lots of fallen trees and preferably hills. Run, walk, amble.. just travel through the forest facing natural obstacles. This works really well on the edge of rivers that have carved out / caved in their banks, leaving lots of roots and leaning trees to use as handholds while trying to avoid slipping and getting dunked. One of my favourite parts of this is finding logs or rocks in the water to travel across. It’s training like a real… Read more »

Totally agree! The MovNat idea is about this very freedom. I’ve learned to “play” more and my little daughter is glad. We have more fun on walks and hikes now.
I got to meet Clifton Harski of the list above when he held an all day workshop this past February in Columbus, OH. He was super-cool, strong, and awfully kind. Great teacher. I’ll add his blog to my list for sure.
Sounds like some awesome MovNat! If you are in an urban setting, you can also achieve this through playgrounds, or just even climbing a random tree. You might get some stares, but trust me, it will be well worth it. You do get some mobility from this, and definitely get some emergence in nature, however you should still try and hit the foam roller or couch stretch from MobWod every once in a while.

Thank you so much for this post, particularly the links to Paleo/Non-Paleo and Paleo for Women. I’ve been struggling to keep up the motivation for proper nutrition lately which has more often then not lead to my giving up and having a cheesesteak. Already two posts on PNP and PFW have helped me figure out how I can break this cycle.
Agreed that Peter Attia at eatingacademy.com has a ton of great info, including thoughts on dietary cholesterol and athletic performance on a ketogenic diet.

Peter Attia at Eating Academy is an outstanding writer, and knows how to break down science for a lay person. By far my very favorite blog on nutrition and wellness.
Thanks for introducing me to Lucas’ blog. As strange as it might sound to some, I love this kind of info. Too many people don’t make necessary changes to their lifestyle because they don’t understand the science behind doing so. I’m always looking for better ways to explain it.
Thanks for the link to Paleo for Women! I’ve been trying to find one that deals with women’s hormones and paleo together. Great find!

Thanks so much for all of the links. I’ve definitely reached the stage where I need more reading material relating to primal/paleo eating. It’s like you read my mind!

I went on a couple vacations there and around BC. The mountains, forests, and rivers were a delightful experience to discover. I think everyone should spend some time in the mountains. A mountain range is one of the most pleasing things to behold.

Shameless plug, but I have about 10,000 readers and growing steadily! I’m a huge fan of MDA. Thanks for all the new paleo blogs for me to check out. If anyone’s interested, check out my blog at CookingCaveman.com. Lots of recipes, trying to take my favorite traditional dishes and paleofying them! Lots of advice too. Hope to see you there. -Jeff Nimoy

Hello, I checked out your site briefly as I was intrigued by the name PaleoDruid, but it was hard to navigate at a glance. An about page would do wonders for you! Hopefully some helpful advice. 🙂
Thanks, I’ll get it going. i try to keep the druid angle minimal on that particular blog since it’s supposed to be “professional” but I have plenty of other blogs that are more pagan-heavy.

Hi Mark There are 2 I would like to recommend. I’m over in London and the Paleo/real food community is smaller here, but there are a few of us doing our best to get the message out there Firstly http://www.fitterlondon.co.uk an amazing group of people I train with – their website and blog posts contain all sorts of info about nutrition, recipes, exercise, well being and thought provoking go-for-your-dreams type inspirational posts. Well worth a look The second is my own blog http://www.Cucinaceri.com all unprocessed and mostly paleo food. My aim is not to lecture or go into nutritional overload… Read more »

Mark, really, grandmas don’t want to know of the science behind cholesterol, triglicerides, or diabetes? When my daughter first told me about her new thing – Paleo/Primal/HFLC/JERF, I asked her where is the science behind it? She immediately sent me Peter Attia and Gary Taubes. The War on Insulin morphed into The Eating Academy. I was thrilled to see the problem explained in wonderful chemical diagrams. I’ve been reading ever since and my husband has lost 22 pounds and I have lost 9. However, it how we feel that is absolutely amazing! Energy levels are up, flatulence is down and… Read more »

I should mention that thanks to this post (and the two links to the former ones) I am now a user of Google Reader so I can manage my reading life.
I read a few of these (paleo-non paleo, paleo for women) and will check out more of them (hip mobility- I need that!) I’d also like to to recommend http://www.thepaleomom.com. She’s a phd biochemist. Tons of good nerdy info and mouth watering recipes.
Thanks mark, it’s great to get reccomendations from you but it’s even better to see how the paleosphere networks and promotes eachother. I read many of these blogs regularly and will begin reading the ones I have never seen before. Also I am going to a 2 hour workshop and book signing with the Whole9 team this saturday at the StrengthBox in Toronto and I can’t wait! You should totally stop by 🙂

Also my fiance and I started a blog recently about finding ancestral health in the modern world. It would be too cool if you even glanced at it. It’s called sexfoodandkettlebells.com

Thanks so much for this post! I love your blog, Mark, but sometimes I have other questions that have not been definitively answered for my own purposes. I really appreciate you helping us to expand our knowledge base and that you ask us to think critically about (who, what, when and) where our information comes from.

Oh boy, you’re putting your foot in it again, Mark! ;o) *says the grandma who is younger than you and who is also interested in the science of it*
I’m quite honored to be put on the list, especially since I read most of the other blogs on the list! Thanks!
paleOMG.com is the BEST. Juli is so honest and funny. Plus she has the best tr(ch)eats!
I <3 PaleOMG. If I wasn't engaged I would totally ask her out.
Paleo for Women makes me want to gouge my eyes out… sad, I was so excited to see a “science” based paleo site for women. Oh well, 9 more suggestions to go.
I should mention that thanks to this post (and the two links to the former ones) I am now a user of Google Reader so I can manage my reading life.
I read a few of these (paleo-non paleo, paleo for women) and will check out more of them (hip mobility- I need that!) I’d also like to to recommend http://www.thepaleomom.com. She’s a phd biochemist. Tons of good nerdy info and mouth watering recipes.
Thanks mark, it’s great to get reccomendations from you but it’s even better to see how the paleosphere networks and promotes eachother. I read many of these blogs regularly and will begin reading the ones I have never seen before. Also I am going to a 2 hour workshop and book signing with the Whole9 team this saturday at the StrengthBox in Toronto and I can’t wait! You should totally stop by 🙂
Mark, The Eating Academy was very informative and inspiring! Great Post, by the way!
Great choices! How did you find them?
I am a fan of Mobility WOD, but what I find takes mobility training and nervous system reconditioning to a whole another level is the folks at Z-Health performance, you should look em up.
Also my fiance and I started a blog recently about finding ancestral health in the modern world. It would be too cool if you even glanced at it. It’s called sexfoodandkettlebells.com
I think paleomg.com should be there somewhere
Don’t forget http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com by Mellisa “Train Hard, Eat Clean, Live Loud” Joulwan. Her Paleo Cookbook, “Well Fed” is one of my personal favorites.
Also, http://www.nonnompaleo.com. In addition to the great blog, she also has an iPad Paleo cooking app that is fantastic.
I highly recommend both.
I would add paleomg.com and theclothesmakethegirl.com for recipes especially. Paleomg has a recipe for the best burger I have ever had (Sage Bison Burgers with Bacon Apple Chutney) and the Sunshine Sauce on theclothesmakethegirl is just ridiculous with everything.
Great list! Will be checking some of these out. And I can’t agree more with The Eating Academy recommendation. I have learned so much just from his cholesterol series. Highly recommended – especially if you need to convince your doctor why NOT to rely on just a standard lipid panel
Thanks so much for this post! I love your blog, Mark, but sometimes I have other questions that have not been definitively answered for my own purposes. I really appreciate you helping us to expand our knowledge base and that you ask us to think critically about (who, what, when and) where our information comes from. Thank you so much for the incredible work you do, you’re really making a difference in my (and so many other apples) lives!

Paleo for Women has given me a lot to think about. I’m tweaking carbs, more in quality than in quantity.
Thanks, Mark, for being open-minded. 🙂
