In Search of the Perfect Human Diet

April 16, 2012, The Lazy Caveman

I’ve been excited about In Search of the Perfect Human Diet since I contributed to the project last year. I recently received my DVD copy, and while the film fell a little but short of my high standards for Paleo instruction, it was pretty darn good overall. CJ Hunt is an incredibly polished story teller, due to his experience as a broadcast journalist. The impetus for the film was his own struggles with health as he literally died while running on a track at age 24. Over the next 22 years, he tried everything under the sun to control his health. Nothing worked, until he arrived at a real food prescription. The film sets up the problem quite well: Americans are fat and are too confused to know what to do about it. Hunt’s own journey parallels the average American’s; that is live life until something catastrophic happens, then make... Continue Reading

Hungry For Change Review

March 31, 2012, The Lazy Caveman

A friend pointed me to a new documentary called “Hungry For Change“ that’s from the folks that brought us Food Matters. Now I have not yet watched Food Matters, though I’ve heard many good things. Here’s the trailer for Hungry For Change if you haven’t seen it yet: Sounds like it could be pretty good, right? Well, it definitely hit on some good points once you waded through the incredible amount of hyperbole and correlation = causation missteps. The story focuses on a young woman, Natalie, who is depressed about the life she leads and the food choices she makes.... Continue Reading

Paleo Pals!

February 7, 2012, The Lazy Caveman

I don’t have kids, but I really like them because they’re hilarious, adorable and irrational. When I do have kids one day, I absolutely plan to raise them to have the healthy habits it took me so long to learn. So when I received my early copy of Sarah Fragoso’s new children’s book Paleo Pals: Jimmy and the Carrot Rocket Ship, I was excited to see how she plans to teach the world’s kids how to love real food. For those who have never visited Everyday Paleo, first, I say shame on you! Second, you really should check it out... Continue Reading

Catalyst Athletics Weightlifting Seminar

January 28, 2012, The Lazy Caveman

“You have a fear of commitment” - Aimee Everett I love to lift. It’s definitely my favorite part of CrossFit, and I’m fortunate to belong to a box that incorporates a lot of lifting into its programming. And I’m even more fortunate that I have a great coach who has taught me a ton of good technique. But in the quest for me to be the best version of myself as possible, I happened upon the Performance Menu, Greg’s Book on Olympic Weightlifting, and the accompanying DVD, all of which are excellent resources for you to get more awesome at life....

Make It Paleo: An Epicurean Journey

October 13, 2011, The Lazy Caveman

I probably don’t have to tell you how amazing it is to have a cookbook that I can open to any page and know that I can enjoy the recipe without physical discomfort or emotional guilt. Make It Paleo, by Bill Staley and Hayley Mason (aka The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate), is the latest entry into an expanding line of Paleo/Primal cookbooks for a growing number of real food lovers. Do not belittle this piece of work by calling it a book; it’s a tome. At nearly 450 pages, the collection of recipes speaks volumes to Bill and Hayley’s love... Continue Reading

Off to Burning Man

August 27, 2011, The Lazy Caveman

Just a quick note to let you all know that I will be MIA from the blog, Facebook and Twitter for the next week and a half as I enjoy my annual vacation at Burning Man. Forget your preconceptions of Burning Man and watch the documentary Beyond Black Rock on Netflix Instant (NSFW). I’ll have a fun challenge trying to stay Paleo in the desert while also in survival mode, and I’ll be sure to share that story when I get back! Oh, and if you’re going to be out on the playa, come find me at 4:15 and Journey!... Permalink

Link Love: Ancestral Health Symposium Edition

August 15, 2011, The Lazy Caveman

The Ancestral Health Symposium at UCLA this past weekend was billed by Loren Cordain as the “Woodstock of Evolutionary Medicine.” From what I understand of what happened at Woodstock though, a whole lot of drugs were taken and not much was accomplished. While AHS had the good-times vibes of a hippie festival, I’m hoping that the result of all these great minds getting together in one place is a far more tangible re-imagining of the nutrition/health landscape. Here’s a rundown of the awesome people I met and the great work their doing in the tribe, as well as some of... Continue Reading

Link Love: CrossFit Games Edition

August 8, 2011, The Lazy Caveman

I had an amazing time this past weekend down at the CrossFit Games at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. The Games really are the pinnacle of fitness and incredibly inspiring. Additionally, the CrossFit community is very similar to the Paleo one: a lot of really good-looking people who love to talk about their passion for health. For a good recap of the Games, head on over to FitBomb.com. I managed to meet a lot of really great people who are doing some really cool things.
