The Primal Kitchen Podcast

Our willpower is greatest in the morning – before we’ve had to fend off the slew of issues and choices that come our way. In other words, if you struggle to keep a given commitment to yourself/your well-being, you’ll likely be more successful making it part of your morning routine as opposed to holding off until later in the day.(This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Brock Armstrong)

Brock Armstrong is the host interviewing Dr. Amy Myers whose recent book "The Autoimmune Solution" was just released. Dr. Myers tells of her in depth studies of autoimmune diseases as she has struggled with them in her own life. Even through medical school she had periods of illness that prevented her from doing the work she wanted. After completing her residency in emergency medicine at the University of Maryland, she founded the Functional Medicine Center Austin Ultra Health where she currently serves as the medical director. For any listener with autoimmune disorders, this podcast will inspire you to search for solutions for your own individual situation. Dr. Myers tried many different options after traditional medicine failed her. Her book describes all the things she tried as well as her preference for the paleo diet. Her book addresses much more than just diet. She talks about treating what is inside the gut to cleanse it, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Today’s post is actually about edible oils. Well, they’re all technically edible – they can all be swallowed and digested – but as for being palatable, let alone healthful? That remains to be seen. Not all oils are created equal, especially given the fact that most of the ones people use nowadays are actually created in an industrial laboratory.(This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Brock Armstrong)

Clearly, it’s important to move, and devoting an hour or so a day to intensive gym time or a solid run confers handy benefits, no?
