I know this well because I trust and believe in the science but also because my daughter Brittani, a Worship [...]
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off. Gloria Steinem So how do we, as a national (world-wide?) movement position sensible Paleo more firmly into the mainstream consciousness? This is a question that continues to vex those of us who sincerely wish to bestow the many blessings of Ancestral Wellness to [...]
So it’s Tuesday morning and while Paleo FX officially ended at 6:30pm on Friday March 16th, from my perspective from the hundreds of comments, messages, phone calls, texts, Tweets and posts — Paleo FX was a smashing success — however, the business of it is far from done. The questions of ‘were we insane to [...]
“I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we’re talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime ‘associates,’ food, for me, has always been an adventure.” —– Anthony Bourdain A funny thing happened on the way to our new website…somewhere in the transfer process, we had [...]

Okay, so it’s not the best picture, to be sure – I thought I could wash-out the glare, but alas… Anyway, here’s Madame Benoit’s rather erudite quote: “I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with variation.” Not to beat a dead horse, but again — it is [...]
Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one’s being, from bodily health to self-realization. Yoga means union – the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill [...]
