Digging deeper, part II.

You cannot accept the concepts of responsibility, quality, and curiosity into the fabric of your character without realizing that each of these is constantly under attack from mediocrity, and the final defense is also the only defense; your own independence.

Episode 25: Brooks Kubik

Brooks Kubik is a fan of pure strength along with what you might (if you were a CrossFitter) call "ultra heavy metcon." Heavy sandbags, barrels, car pushing, farmer's walks, and as many odd lifts as you can imagine make up Brooks' routines.  He's a 5 time National Champion in sub-masters bench press, so he's definitely not some armchair writer; this guy lives it.

Why do we have a podcast (that doesn't talk about paleo desserts)?

I spoke with Lloyd Kahn today in an attempt to get him to come on the Paleo Treats podcast. Lloyd is exactly the kind of guy whose ideas I want to share with you; well educated, former military (hey, the Air Force is still a part of the military!) and a total sustainable and small footprint true believer.

Bone broth & healing your gut

There's a long list of things to do and try on the "healthy life" track, and up near the top next to solid sleep and hard exercise is clean nutrition.

Paleo is simple (it's certainly not low-carb); for 2 meals a day just eat a chunk of protein the size of your palm (could be beef, chicken, fish, emu, etc) and fill the rest of your plate with salad. Wash it down with a couple of cups of water a day and you're set. Right?

It is an excellent start, and really, a fine finish, but if you're looking for some of that extra zip and zazzle, especially as you do more of that hard exercise we mentioned above and your joints start to ache, we're big fans of bone broth.

Episode 24: Kevin Stacy & The Station Foundation

In this podcast we speak with Kevin Stacy, former Army officer and 160th flier who has developed a program aimed specifically at helping the Spec Ops community post-combat.  Kevin talks about what he's doing with The Station Foundation, how it's different than other programs, and how you can help (if you're so inclined.) Enjoy!

Episode 23: Sarah Red-Laird, The Bee Girl

Sarah Red-Laird from beegirl.org joins us in an attempt to drill some very basic bee information into our heads. We talk about everything from the slowly receding threat of colony collapse disorder to beekeeping in the UK to a brief dive into the intricacies of the US subsidy system.  Enjoy!

Episode 22: Pete Scobell, Traumatic Brain Injury, Combat, and Guitar

We asked Pete to come on because of his work with treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and bringing awareness of what TBI is (a concussion) as well as the best ways we currently know to treat it.  Funnily enough, the most advance treatment for TBI sounds an awful lot like the 7 Pillars of Paleo. Pete talks about the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, The Fallen Heroes Fund, and a piece of music he wrote for the movie The Hornet's Nest. Enjoy!
