Check out the video on Paleo from the Dr. Oz Show, with commentary from humansarenotbroken.com. I’m not a huge Dr. Oz fan, but it’s nice to see Paleo explained by people who actually know what they are talking about, especially on such a main-stream show.

No matter what you choose to do, seek virtuosity. Even if your talent lies off the beaten path, develop it and strive for more than you think possible.
Please keep in mind that you may need more work on certain joints/muscle groups, or there may be movements in the weekly warm up that aren’t appropriate for you. Please feel free to modify this to suit your own needs. This warm up is intended to be a guideline for those not sure what to do, or who are bored with the old standby.
If you need help with any of the warm up movements, or need ideas on how to modify the warm up, please let one of the trainers know!
Weekly Warm Up:
5 minutes of jump rope, including some double unders or attempts
3 rounds of:
10 flutter kicks (2ct)
10 swimmers (2 ct)
10 push ups
10 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls with a KB, moderate weight
10 squats with 3 second hold at the bottom – watch yourself in the mirror for good position.
Find yourself a good hill.
Alternate between walking, jogging, and sprinting up it. Work for a total of 30 minutes.
If you are a cyclist, take a hilly ride instead.
Post the location of your hill to comments.
More research is coming out (or at least showing up on my radar) about the benefits of the womb squat. It’s a position our bodies are naturally designed to do, and really is good for us.
Part 1 Benefits of the Womb Squat talks about some general benefits.
Part 2 Squatting on the Pot talks about the impacts of squatting versus sitting on the toilet and the related impact on our digestive health.

Here is an excerpt from a recent blog post on Marksdailyapple.com
I want to preface it by reminding everyone that “Gluten Free” does not mean all natural, or good for you. Read your labels. If you have a weight loss goal, most gluten free baked goods will be counterproductive since they are still a dense source of carbohydrate.
It seems like every grocery store now has a whole aisle full of ‘gluten-free’ foods – pastas, breads, cookies, etc. What are your thoughts in general on gluten-free baked goods and the like? Craving a grilled cheese sandwich, I recently picked up a loaf of gluten-free white sandwich bread that seemed to be made mostly of rice flour and tapioca, with other ingredients that didn’t seem too threatening. Where do you see foods like that, on a ‘frankenfood/ick’ to ‘meh/innocuous’ scale? Thanks!

They’re okay, and certainly better than the alternative. Just don’t go wild on them. Most gluten-free foods are devoid of nutrition, while the foods they’re trying to replace at least attempt to provide some nutrition (whole grains, whose nutrients may be highly bio-unavailable and accompanied by antinutrients like gluten, do contain nutrients on paper).
Here’s how I handle stuff like this: don’t “waste” your gluten-free treat excursions on empty calories. Make an awesome tomato meat sauce with bits of liver, extra virgin olive oil, and pecorino romano to get with your gluten-free pasta. Make a really good grilled cheese sandwich with aged gouda, some grass-fed butter for grilling, half an avocado, and maybe a few slices of bacon with your gluten-free bread. Get a gluten-free pizza crust and smother it in fresh pesto sauce, jumbo shrimp, and fresh mozzarella. Don’t just mindlessly eat gluten-free crackers, or snack on an entire loaf of plain gluten-free bread. Make it count, if you’re going to eat it. Make your gluten-free treat a vehicle for nutrient-dense food.
