The Primal Movement Meets Austrian Economics

What happens when subscribers of Austrian Economics and The Primal Movement come together? Knowledge! Dr. Tom Woods of Liberty Classroom & TomWoods.com  interviewed Mark Sisson, author of the Primal Blueprint Book & Primal Movement on the Peter Schiff show.   I, being a fan of both Tom Woods and Mark Sisson separately,  before this interview, can completely understand why this would happen.

Both these lifestyles also call for changes in workouts, stress habits, sleeping habits, and other things that have made a difference for me and others. But, despite this success, the Paleo and primal messages are suffering, and in my opinion, it is because of the erosion of the free market and the principles the free market introduces, which are beneficial to innovation and business and of course, the individual participant and producer. Within the last couple of years, The nearly monopolized health & food sectors have only become more monopolized through government “participation” & growth, while small [...]

Primal Blueprint Eating Plan Perfect for Summer

Summer’s relationship with fat loss is a rough one. Barbecues and pools usually mean bathing suits, and for someone who is on the path of fat loss,  their anticipation is based on their judgement of their own progress, usually negative.  For the more opportunistic though, summer is a motivator to reach health related goals, as well as the perfect environment for primal eating.  [A vision of the Primal Food Guide Pyramid, completely made by Mark Sisson of the Primal Blueprint and Marks Daily Apple] The Primal Blueprint  eating plan, or what some may know as the  related eating pattern, the Paleo Diet, is an eating pattern based around meats, vegetables, and fruit primarily.
