A few weeks ago at Paleo f(x), I was fortunate enough to score a review copy of ‘Gather: The Art of Paleo Entertaining’ from my friends Bill and Hayley at The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate, authors of the bestselling book, Make it Paleo. Thumbing through this thing, I can tell you it’s nothing short of amazing. They really…
Day Trip to San Diego: Butchery, Pete’s Paleo, and Chefery
***Warning!!! This post contains images of a whole pig being butchered. Some people may find these images offensive as the animal still has it’s face attached. Viewer discretion is advised.*** In the last year or so, I’ve become a big believer of not only eating animals that lived as healthy and happy as possible i.e….
Fast Paleo: Top 100 recipes of 2012
A couple months or so ago, I was contacted by Ute and James, the guys from the amazing paleo recipe sharing site: fastpaleo.com. They told me about an ebook they had been working on that contained the top 100 recipes of 2012 and they had selected 3 of mine! The recipes in question are: Ketogenic…

A few weeks ago I applied for a slot on a short list of paleo bloggers to compete in a paleo recipe competition sponsored by SousVide Supreme and TX Bar Organics Beef. I will be provided a SousVide supreme on loan as well as a vacuum sealer to keep (awesome!) and a small supply of…
A Memorable Seizure: My Point of View
Since it’s now Epilepsy Awareness Month and I have yet to really share one of my seizure experiences from my own point of view, I figure this would be the perfect time for such a story. This is about the time I got arrested in early 2001. I had just left for film and photography…
Seizure First Aid: What To Do If You Are a Witness
I’ve wanted to put something like this up for awhile. Since it’s Epilepsy Awareness Month, I can’t think of a better time to post something on Seizure First Aid and what to do if you witness a seizure. Most people are frightened by seeing someone have a seizure, but witnesses can do a tremendous service…
Epilepsy Awareness Month
As many of you who read my blog know, I have epilepsy and I am trying my best to treat it naturally without the use of medication. Currently, I still take medication but a much smaller dose than I used to thanks in part by a healthy diet and lifestyle. If you want the extended…
Ancestral Health Symposium 2012
Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to attend the 2nd annual Ancestral Health Symposium or AHS from here on out, at Harvard University. Last year it was held at UCLA and was therefore much easier (and less expensive) for me to attend. However, given the amount that I had learned last year at AHS…
Cold Thermogenesis: One Month Into the Cold
So this week brings about the close to the 4 weeks since Paleo FX. Over the last 4 weeks, I’ve been implementing some protocols that I learned while in Austin. Most notably: Jack Kruse’s Cold Thermogenesis and Leptin Reset Protocol, Bulletproof Coffee, turning the lights out as soon as possible once the sun sets (the…
Paleo f(x) 2012 – Part 2
Like I mentioned in my earlier post about Paleo f(x) found here, the main reason I made the trek down to Austin was to speak with as many experts, doctors, nutritionists, etc as I could in order to try and treat my epilepsy naturally and hopefully one day, come off my meds completely. I wasn’t…
