Yes, history does repeat itself, over and over. The details are very, very different throughout time, but the gist of it remains the same:

Self styled elites, which in ancient days meant Kings and Emperors, Warlords and Dictators- they are constantly trying to control, to micromanage, to tell everyone else how to live, and what to do- endlessly! These fake “leaders” will order us around endlessly, unless we stop them.

In Western Civilization, this has been one of the primary concerns, and one of our greatest successes! From the Magna Carta, which outlined the protection of ordinary folk from the dictates of despots, to the Declaration of Independence, from which the founding fathers declared the God-given, inalienable rights of mankind.

These were triumphs of Western Civilization, and set the stage for the longest, brightest ascent of human achievement and the reign of peace in all of recorded history. Centuries of a shining light on a hill- that is the history of modern, western civilization, the envy of the world- a civilization where women as well as men, and then other races as well, were afforded all the rights of living in such an advanced and law-abiding place!

The Left, fueling ‘liberal’ thinking through the Democratic party through the influence of the failed Marxist so-called philosophy started attacking Western Civilization primarily by making the youth feel ‘guilty’ for the West having done so much better than anyone else. This was a postition founded on envy, and it energizes the left through jeolous hate more than anything else ever could.

Now, you may be asking yourself: “How does this fit into a podcast about ancestral, evolutionary lifestyle and health??”

Well, it has reached the point where today I heard a supposedly ancestral podcast, at least one that pays lip service to natural health by eating evolutionarily appropriate foods, and living in a way unlike that touted by so-called ‘modern’ western medicine, meaning medical “scientism” left over from the 1970’s, that is still overwhelmingly prevalent today in mainstream medicine...

And on this podcast, which I assumed should be one of my allies, a fellow paleo person: I hear a diatribe about Climate Change!

If ever one thing was a clarion call to ’scientism’, meaning the assumption of scientific principle with nothing to back it up- that thing would be Global Warming, or Climate Change, or whatever kind of nonsense you want to call it! Voodoo Health perhaps?

The Climate does indeed change- I have no argument there! We had numerous Ice Ages, and many other tropical ages; too numerous to mention over the eons. Weather, and climate change happen, and always will happen- the point is, we can’t do anything about it! Well, except to innovate; to come up with warm furs to wear from mammoths we kill, and to plan for the privations of long winters; things like that! That is what fueled the evolutionary changes that resulted in Western Civilization, the crowning achievement that is White European Culture. The envy of the world; copied endlessly, and where everyone wants to live!

My point is this: Evolutionary health and Wellness! Living in accordance with our evolution- realizing that grains, health-wise, are a mistake largely. Discussing the problem, realizing that minimizing grains is a great first step; then, going towards proper, Weston A. Price type prepa

Bread CAN be Healthy! On Paleo Quick Tip of the Day podcast

There, I said it- bread can actually be good for you! I can scarcely believe that I actually said that, but there it is. Properly prepared bread, meaning a true, made from sour dough starter, can be a worthwhile addition to your paleo diet, but it needs to be a true sour dough bread.

This means a bread that is risen without commercial yeast, and without any other addititives such as sugar, oils, ‘bread conditioners’, and the like! One theory is that the use of conventional, GMO grains (that are heavily sprayed with glyphosate), along with the sugars, vegetable oils, and many dough additives and preservatives are why modern breads are so very unhealthy.

Do, you need to seek out (or else bake your own) loaf; one that has only non-GMO grain (I think rye is the best, both flavor-wise and health-wise), is naturally leavened with wild yeasts, and is free of all other additives other than water and the milled grain itself. Anything else and it is not really sour dough, and is something that will only hurt your health, not enhance it!

If you an find such a loaf, get it! (It will not be cheap, nor should it be, since such bread is labor intensive and time consuming to make properly- it is a labor of love)! The vast majority of ‘sour dough’ breads in the grocery store are not really sour dough at all, just being flavored to seem to be sour dough, without actually being real at all- avoid these! Just as most pickles and sauer kraut are not really actually fermented and healthy at all, the same is true of most so-called sour dough breads. They are loaded up with vinegar, which while adding a certain sour tang, kills any beneficial organisms that might be in the product.

OK. In my little town, an authentic French sour dough bakery opened a week ago. Very impressive products, totally true to the sour dough tradition- they even make pastries and a quiche made with the tangy dough- all are wonderful indeed! It is called the French-tastic bakery, and is not to be missed if in southwest Wisconsin.

Just as we all avoided beans in all forms in early paleo, so too did we avoid all grains, if we were paying attention. Even potatoes were not to be eaten!

This was all good advice in the beginning, say 10 years ago, and we all had wonderful health benefits from eliminating all grains, beans, and nightshades.

But, that was before we knew all about the great importance of the microbiome, or the health of the gut. And it now appears that, by including a small amount of carbohydrates within our diets (keto be damned!), that our gut microbiome benefits, and so thereby do we. I believe it is Paul Jaminet who says in his excellent Perfect Health Diet that ideally we all need approximately 1/3 of our diet to be carbohydrates. But, he does specify that it needs to be safe starches, includiing white and sweet potatoes, and even small amounts of properly prepared beans and grains!!

This adds diversity to our gut microbiome, with many beneficial species helping us out as they live within us. And, I am here to tell you- an addition of properly prepared sour dough bread does not distress my digestion at all, and only seems to make me healthier. The fermentation in sour dough neutralizes the phytic acid, and the glycemic response of blood sugar also seems to be vastly reduced, along with the resulting insulin spike. And the minerals in the grains are also rendered usable by the body, unlike in standard breads where the nutrients are unassimilable after being consumed.

So,

Gain Maximum Strength in 10 MInutes per Day on Paleo Quick Tip of the Day podcast

Send us a text

This is not a misprint or a mistaken statement: you can indeed gain your own ultimate strength potential in 10 minutes per day!

I mean that sincerely. Now, it won’t bulk you up like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but it WILL make you as strong as you, given your own frame and bodyweight, can be. In FACT, this protocol will make you extremely ripped and lean, and strong beyond what anyone would ever suspect!

Now, doesn’t that sound about perfect, really? Who really wants to bulk up, especially after the age of 30 or so? Isn’t lean, sculpted strength and ability really what we are all after? Especially amongst women- what woman wants to be bulky? Don’t we all want strength and functional ability, strength that includes that of tendons and ligaments, and is there for us lifelong. Real world strength and resiliance- the power to lift heavy things without injury, to manhandle weights and resistance beyond what the vast majority of our contemporaries can budge! And for our whole lives long.

This goal can be achieved easily, and as I said in the title, in less than 10 minutes per day. I do it in front of the television, each and almost every morning.

You can use a nylon strap to do so, as I did for years, instead of a huge iron power rack such as serious weight lifters do! I have one of those, and used it for years, but you don’t need one really- a strap or two will do.

There is a forearm forklift strap widely available that is ideal: two straps that are intended to be used to lift furniture and appliances, using the forearms to make the load much easier to handle when moving. But actually, any strap that is 3 inches or so in width, that can handle a thousand pounds or more, is ideal.

The secret is Isometrics- pushing against an unmoveable resistance!

Stand on the strap, let’s say you start on your left foot: push up as if you are lifting a heavy dumbell with your left arm overhead. Only push a little above shoulder height, but push gradually as hard as you can- for about 5 seconds.

Pause, and repeat: for 6 seconds. Pause then again, and push as hard as you can for 7 or 8 seconds!

You have just stimulated your left shoulder girdle, including tendons and ligaments along with the musculature to increase vastly in power and strength.

Next, do the same thing, but push at the half way point above shoulder height, 3 times again. Then, just short of lockout, repeat 3 times.

You have just achieved, in a tiny amount of time, as you watched television, strengthening your entire left shoulder girdle maximally, and without risk of injury at all, in about a minute or so!

This is the beauty of isometrics! Now, repeat the same protocol with the right hand. Another minute well spent!

And so it goes, the most efficient 10 minutes you will ever spend, and you can do it daily to great effect!

After your shoulders, do curls with the exact same left-right protocol, and then do upright rows, followed by lateral shoulder raises, and then bent rows on each side, and finish up with deadlifts against the strap, from low to high, 3x; and finish with front squats against the strap from low to high.

You will be working against an unmovable resistance. Don’t hold your breath, and breathe as you push, especially with the deadlifts and squats. Don’t hold back your effort- after all, it is only a matter of seconds, culminating in minutes overall!
