Today we are chatting with the founders of Rawsome Foods, Clive a full time engineer and chocolate enthusiast along with his partner Jenny, a qualified pharmacist and health coach. They have a pretty interesting story which all started when they set off on a wild adventure into the warm heart of Africa during 2014.  This is where they discovered the hunter gatherer way of eating and living. As a brand committed to wellbeing, Rawsome Foods are proud to provide a natural, unprocessed, organic raw whole food direct from the Baobab tree. They are happy that this product supports a local social enterprise in Australia and will also encourage harvesters in Africa to thrive.

Nothing says primal like cooking with fire and we agree, getting back to basics and eating food in its most simple unprocessed form underpins the Paleo lifestyle, but we still want our food to taste amazing right? In their new cook book Tony Federico and Chef James Phelan teach us all about sourcing food and cooking from nose to tail while also sharing with us recipes to delight even the fussiest of cavemen. It is simply written with beautiful photos and step by step instructions ensuring that we can all have success in the kitchen (or around the camp fire). From delicious rubs and marinades, condiments, sides and desserts they certainly can help any Grok whip up a Paleo Feast. Here to tell us more is Personal Trainer, Author, Blogger and Meat Enthusiast Tony Federico.

This week we are thrilled to have our good mate Jen from Rumbles Paleo here to talk about her very exciting project which she will share more about shortly. Most of us know Jen as one part of the Rumbles crew- the amazing peeps that make delectable paleo treats that are totally drool worthy as well as good for you but that’s not all that this busy lady has been up to! Jen is on a mission is to create a world-wide epidemic of conscious minded children who live in a realm of their higher-actualised selves and who take over the universe and transform it into a wonderland of love, light and spectacularity!

Today we are talking to Ben Dutton from The Stock Merchant and they are responsible for Australia’s first range of free range and sustainable stocks and sauces. Ben’s company work with local small-scale producers who provide him with free range chicken, grass fed cattle, sustainably harvested shellfish and pristine vegetables and herbs to use in their products. Ben’s stocks and sauces are made the traditional way – meaning no nasties because he doesn’t add salt, flavour enhancers, gluten, preservatives or additives. It’s real food made from real ingredients and we think that’s something worth having a chat about so welcome to the show Ben Dutton from The Stock Merchant.

One of my favourite quotes that really helped to put the power of food into perspective comes from Ann Wigmore who said, “The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.” This was an exciting realisation for me because it taught me that I have a choice in influencing my health. Today’s guest has extensive knowledge about the best kinds of foods for us to eat. We first spoke to her a while back about her book The Paleo Approach and she is back today to chat about The Paleo Approach Cookbook which she has written to show us just how easy and delicious regaining your health can be. Welcome back to the show author and our favourite Paleo Mom, Sarah Ballantyne.

Grass hoppers, locusts, meal worms, bamboo worms and crickets- what do they all have in common? Not only do they have amazing nutritional value being a great source of protein and micronutrients, these insects are widely available and low cost- financially and on the environment. In food insecure locations, edible bugs can all play a major role in preventing malnutrition in children and pregnant women. Today we are lucky enough to be speaking with Mariangela and Rudi from Bugs for life, about their planned work in Benin, West Africa where they will be involved with social and scientific research which will centre on finding out more about the variety of insects eaten, their role in local diets and their cultural importance. To share with us about the project we would like to welcome to the show Mariangela and Rudi.

We also answer and discuss questions from our Campers about how to make the Paleo lifestyle even more easy and accessible. So strap yourselves in and get ready for loads of laughs and buckets of fun from Primal Collective Cave Camp QLD!

We hope that you’re ready for a show of epic proportions today. I’m very excited because we get to highlight what I think is one of the most important facets of the Paleo lifestyle. I know that most of us are across the fact that Paleo is more than just nutrition it’s about thinking, moving and eating like we were designed too BUT for me the key to bringing this all together and being successful is tribe. While we are lucky enough to have access to almost endless resources we can never discount the value of being a part of a likeminded community. Soooo not content on doing things by halves we thought we’d like to have a crack at staging our very own Paleo Circus, roll up roll up because we are joined today by reps from 5 different Paleo groups right across Australia.

Let’s open up the discussion in order to understand more about the importance of this message.
