At the urging of a new friend who started reading my book “The Paleo Dieter’s Missing Link” a few days ago, I’ve decided to post the preface of the book here on my blog. My journey from where I was to where I am was long and difficult and full of setback, disappointments, shady characters [...]

Sigh… What a week… A Wise Ape once told me if I wasn’t getting hate mail, no one was reading my stuff. Well, people are definitely reading my stuff… This past week, I leaned heavily on my faith and asked myself many times WWTGD? (What Would The Gorilla Do?). I think I’ve turned a corner [...]

There was a TON of drama around my two last posts. Some people loved them. Some people hated them. Some agreed and some disagreed. Some people really freaked out, there were even comments posted under aliases (reverse email look up is VERY easy). It got to the point I didn’t even trust the comments coming [...]

  This question is from Ajay: “I practice Jiu Jitsu with Gracie Barra four days a week. I recently started very strict paleo. I’m having trouble finding the right amount of foods to eat the right ones to fuel that workout (2.5 to 3 hours a day, four days a week). I love the way [...]

    Today’s question came to me from Francis and it’s one that I have a particular passion around. As I talk about in the preface and intro of my book “The Paleo Dieter’s Missing Link,” I struggled for a number of years with Ulcerative Colitis and eventually recovered and regained my health. The video [...]

A big part of my personal journey recently has been about improving my training. I’ve come at this goal from a bunch of different directions and used many different tools and ideas from a wide range of disciplines and areas to make it happen. Not everything I’ll suggest is typical, but it IS something that’s [...]

I’m on another emotional and spiritual growth spurt. I HATE these! I mean, I love them, but I hate them too. It’s great to grow and evolve – constant growth and evolution is really a foundational principle of my life. But, sometimes it would just be nice to coast for a while and enjoy the [...]
