Is Your Lifestyle Sustainable?

Published on August 16, 2010 By Adam

Something that recently occurred to me is the issue of sustainability as it relates to exercise, lifestyle and adrenal health. I hadn’t thought about it in exactly these terms until I watched a great Sara Ivanhoe interview on the Bridging Heaven and Earth Show. (Warning: This thing is VERY “airy fairy” and metaphysical. It’s definitely [...]

A Mind for the Paleo Diet

Published on August 6, 2010 By Adam

Guest Post by Travis Schefcik of UncommonWellness.com When people think about starting a new diet, most fast forward six months in their minds and imagine themselves in a thin new body.

I want to thank my friend Darren Rueb for the two articles he recently posted that got my creative juices flowing this beautiful Sunday morning.

Published on July 13, 2010 By Adam

I’ve played around with raw cow milk and kefir before and I’ve been using goat yogurt and kefir for a while. I’ve REALLY wanted to switch to raw cow kefir though. I’ve wanted to make the switch not so much because I think cow milk is better than goat milk – I’m not so sure [...]

Are we Paleo Dieters CRAZY or smarter than all of ‘em?

Published on July 5, 2010 By Adam

I was reading Mark Sisson’s Weekend Link Love post this morning. Mark always has good stuff in these posts. I was intrigued and frustrated at the same time with one of the articles he put in a link for. The article was about an eating “disorder” called “orthorexia nervosa.” The article title was “Healthy food [...]

Overtraining and Adrenal Fatigue

Published on July 1, 2010 By Adam

There’s no shortage of writing on overtraining as it relates to weight training, bodybuilding and even newer pursuits like CrossFit and kettlebells. Anyone who has spent time training hard in any form of athletics is going to be aware of overtraining and likely the symptoms of overtraining. Currently, there’s a lot of talk about “Adrenal [...]

Sun, Fun and CrossFit

Published on June 23, 2010 By Adam

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or what, but I happened to read some really good stuff on Mark Sisson’s blog, Mark’s Daily Apple, last night. The two blog posts I really got into were a primer on how to increase testosterone naturally and another on vitamin D, sun exposure and dosage. The [...]
