Paleo Diet
Hi ,
Robb has a very engaging writing style, which makes the book absolutely fun to read. It has all the latest scientific research, without being tedious or difficult to understand like so many books tend to be. So it is not a fluff fad diet book. But it makes the science easy to understand if you are interested. At the same time it is structured in such a way that if you are not interested in the science, you can skip it. He actually marks the science stuff in block areas and tells you to skip this if you are not into the rigorous explanations that reveal the trail of discovery to this most appropriate way for modern humans to eat.
What is Paleo eating? It is about eating in the way our genes are designed for us to eat. Genes change very slowly over hundreds of thousands of years, so our modern genes are basically the same as the genes of our ancestors from 50,000 to 200,000 years ago. About 10 thousand years ago we created agriculture and started eating foods that were never a part of the human diet before, e.g. grains, legumes, and dairy. A few thousand years later we also invented alcohol. A few hundred years ago we developed the ability to mass produce sugar, and in the last 50 years we have created thousands of chemicals to add to our foods - none of which do our genes have any idea what to do with.
Paleo eating is a return to the fresh and natural foods we were designed to eat. What does that really mean? It means:
Vegetables
Fruits
Natural meats
Seafood
Nuts and certain seeds
Healthy Fats (saturated and mono-saturated)
What does it mean you don't eat?
Dairy
Legumes
Sugars and Starches
Processed foods and Chemicals
Alcohol
Vegetable/Seed oils
What happens when people eat the way that their genes are designed to eat? The modern chronic diseases of this century reverse - really. Diabetes reverses, heart disease reverses, atherosclerosis reverses, osteoporosis reverses, dementia's reverses, autoimmune diseases reverses, IBS, colitis and bowel disease reverses, the chances of cancer drop dramatically. Modern Paleo diet research basically is proving that it is our current western diet that is the root cause behind most all our modern illnesses.
Our hunter-gatherer ancestors were tall, strong, and long lived (if they survived through childhood.) They rarely got sick and they had none of the diseases we are all so familiar with today. Life was harsh in some ways and idyllic in other ways. The hunter-gatherer would spend 10 to 15 of his/her hours each week gathering or hunting for food and the rest of the time was spent hanging out with friends and family members and just being one with nature. Any stress from danger was very short lived - you either got away with your skin intact or you didn't. People stress was minimal, as there just weren't that many people around. Reducing stress is another focus of the Paleo eating lifestyle.
When I first encountered this whole approach to health there was hardly anything written on the subject. Robb's book was one of the first. His mentor was Dr. Loren Cordain, an exercise physiologist and nutrition professor who has also written several books on the Paleo lifestyle. Now however, there are tons of books - recipe books abound for every type of cuisine, and shopping guides and even restaurant guides.
A few years ago the only way to possibly eat Paleo was to learn to cook your food at home or restrict your restaurant choices to those that served steak, potatoes, and salad. But food choices are opening up more every day. A lot of the reason for this is the growing awareness of gluten sensitivity as a driver of inflammation and autoimmune disease. The Paleo diet is perfect for folks that need to avoid gluten.
It is also perfect for all the people I know with bowel issues. It seems to me that IBS, colitis, and Crohn's diseases are all over the place these days. Practically everyone I know is close to someone who has one of these. Our modern diet of processed convenience foods is playing havoc with everyone's innards. Paleo returns us to the foods our body knows how to handle.
So I heartily recommend Robb's book - get it here:
And I recommend his website: robbwolf.com. There is a lot of good information there as well.
Enjoy,
David
As a special treat I will have a case of a new soda brand in the office called Honest Fizz. I was attracted to it because it is sweetened with the same ingredients as I use in making my Double Sugar - erythritol and stevia. My favorite soda is Root Beer and this is an organic variety. So give it a try at only $1.50 a 12 oz can, or buy on Amazon here.
I am always on the lookout for cool new gadgets that are actually useful for us all. Here is one that is brilliant - a battery operated ozone generator for inside your fridge that greatly increases the lifespan of your fruits and vegetables. It will double or even triple the lifespan of your produce by killing off the molds and other nasty critters that rot your produce. If your fridge is anything like mine, you will be saving the cost of the Berry Breeze unit within a few weeks. Check it out!

No Drilling, no filling 
- A new age for dentistry may be here thanks to a discovery in England. Dental researchers have found a way to coax teeth to repair themselves with tiny electrical currents. Teeth have a natural repair process already, but this method greatly speeds up this process so teeth can fill in their own cavities. This is much better for the patient as teeth are much stronger this way than with drilling and filling.

Alzheimer's blood test?
British scientists have developed a blood test that can predict with 87% accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease within the next year. Hopefully with further research they will be able to determine even earlier if Alzheimer's is on the horizon as the disease actually starts about 10 years before the symptoms show up. Essentially this disease begins with inflammation of the brain and trouble with blood sugar regulation. So until researchers find any answers we need to keep our blood sugar perfect and constantly knock down inflammation in the system.

Our address is 9725 Fair Oaks Blvd.
Finding
the new location is very easy. Coming from highway 50 up Sunrise Blvd,
you turn left and go up a block. We are on the right hand side - the
building just past the Subway Sandwich shop. If you are coming down
Sunrise from the Mall area then just turn right on Fair Oaks Blvd and up
a block on the right.
If you are coming from the Roseville area you could come down Sunrise Blvd, but that is a long trek. It is probably shorter time wise to come down Auburn Blvd - San Juan Ave like you have been for the Sunset
office, but instead of turning left at Sunset, keep going straight 3
more lights to Fair Oaks Blvd and turn left. Go down 2 lights to New York Ave, go through the intersection, and immediately turn into the turn lane once the center divider ends. We are on the left.
