“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” – Galileo I’m a Christian, I believe in Creationism and yet, I know that Evolution is an absolute fact.

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.

An individual human existence should be like a river: small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly [...]
“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 [...]
I have a good collection of cookery books. This is not so much because I like cooking, but because I like eating. — Louise Brown There’s this little thing I’m involved in that’s going on in March, here in Austin some of you may have heard about called Paleo FX — Ooh…I think I [...]

Intelligence requires that you don’t defend an assumption ~ David Bohm The setting: a recent Friday, early evening, alone and between clients at Austin’s Efficient Exercise Rosedale studio. Shuffled tracks from Van Halen’s late 70′s/early 80′s stuff (Van Halen II, Fair Warning, Women and Children First, Diver Down…) blasting from the stereo. I’m 8 sets into a [...]
“Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.” – William James So I’ve decided to follow the look under the hood with a purview of how the ol’ chassis is holding up, and what better method to do so with than the gold standard body composition [...]
“The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.” – Bertrand Russell OK, so it’s been a while since I documented a run of workouts, so what better time to take a snapshot of things than Thanksgiving week? Actually, this turned out to be a fairly [...]
“Every man is the builder of a temple called his body.” – Henry David Thoreau As a frequent Forum, with Michael Krasny listener, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional Ancestral Wellness literacy expressed in this recent show (Are Humans Meant for Monogamy?) by guest Christopher Ryan, psychologist and co-author of “Sex at Dawn: The [...]
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” – Theodore Roosevelt True for many aspects in life, but no more so than in the pursuit of a long and successful life in the game of Physical Culture 2.0. And what exactly *is* Physical Culture 2.0? Well, in essence, it’s the fully integrated pursuit of a healthy [...]
“To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.” – Benjamin Franklin Excellent! Always a man ahead of his time; cool Ben, the original proponent of intermittent fasting The Ancestral Health Symposium, 2011 In a word, just a fabulous, fabulous, 2-day event. I won’t go into a complete re-tread of of AHS 2011 events here; soon enough, [...]
No passion so effectively robs the mind of all of its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. Edmund Burke The question of “why should there be a hypertrophy response at all” has puzzled me for some time. On the surface, inflated muscle mass does seem to be a grossly inefficient answer (in metabolic terms) [...]
“We do not rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.” – Archilochus A spot-on observation of human nature, I think. Even so, within those of us who think more highly of ourselves, that it should be otherwise. So much so a true observation, in fact, that I [...]
