Oh yeah baby. You know what I’m talkin’ bout! That’s right sugarplum… I’m a health nerd. I’m talkin’ about what makes your hands and feet warm. I’ve been playing around with all kinds of different breakfasts lately to see what type of breakfast makes my hands and feet wicked toasty at 10am – the time of day, give or take a half hour, that I am most prone to feel that chilly dip in peripheral circulation. I’m noticing this to be a fairly universal time to experience a drop in mood and metabolism – especially coldness in the extremities. I’ve been telling people to really get breakfast right, use it to GET warm, and then, for the rest of the day, eat and drink to STAY warm. When you really eat… Read more »

Low Metabolism and Dry Skin
As a reminder, last call to purchase the PALEO SUMMIT before the price of all the interviews gets jacked up to $99. I think the price officially goes up at midnight Pacific time today (Monday). I don’t have a huge amount of time to post today, as I’m currently putting the finishing touches on my latest book project, 12 Paleo Myths: Eat Better Than a Caveman coming out this weekend. But I did want to share some more thoughts about salt and pee and stuff, because it continues to fascinate. A friend of mine was feeling a little bummed last night. Some underweight, hypothyroid guy she had been dating was acting all crazy on her – loving her one minute, then wanting to break up the next. He loved to cuddle, but didn’t like kissing. And all he wanted… Read more »
How Much Water Should YOU Drink?
One of my greatest pet peeves when it comes to nutrition is the frequent use of blanket recommendations – many of them made on some theoretical basis, or made due to statistical probability (none of them particularly relevant to a real person living in the real world). And I feel like, over the years, we at 180D have been picking through these one by one – especially now as we leave this sort of standard view of nutrition in the dust at an accelerated rate. These blanket recommendations really degrade what nutrition, or dietary manipulation, can be – which is an amazing medical tool. The food pyramid is a real travesty, and gives nutrition a bad name. Dietary needs radically change – sometimes on an hourly basis. Nutritional needs can differ… Read more »
RBTI Update
Apologies for my lengthy silence on RBTI. If anything, I took a lot of time to let it all soak in, and to see what really stuck. As you may know, the personal benefits I got from RBTI included fat loss eating to appetite – even eating lots of palatable processed foods, disappearance of chest pain that I had suffered from for years, and tremendous improvement with some pain/weakness I had in my feet that had gotten worse over the year prior. Plus my nostrils seemed to become less inflamed as well, allowing me to breathe deeper. I thought my pet allergies were gone forever too, but it turned out that I was only not allergic to the pets I was around during my RBTI education. I of course saw… Read more »
Cold Hands and Feet
Me: It’s a W, for Weston Debbie: You mean like the Westin hotel? (we were staying at the Sheraton by the way) Me and Masterjohn: No (conveyed loudly, with large inflection in our voices, and in creative language) I just finished up with the 2011 Wise Traditions Conference, the annual conference of the Weston A. Price Foundation. I finally did my talk yesterday in the biggest ballroom, which was pretty flippin’ full – somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 people in there I would say. Having to wait all weekend to give my talk was tough. I felt like they were “icing the kicker” as they say in American football, and interestingly, my kickers were quite icy. So were my hands. I think of acute and chronic stresses alike as… Read more »
