Send us a text As we age, standard medical practice expects us to give up all common sense, and self-determination. They want to “take over” everything, and we are supposed to just acquiesce… I am here to tell you to vehemently protest, and to take charge of your own health and future, just as you hopefully have for your entire life. Modern Medicin…

Send us a text We all want to live a good life. We NEED to live a good, successful, in harmony with nature and our neighbors type of life! But, what sort of life should this be? Should we live in accordance with modern tradition, by moving to a major metropolitan area, and get a high paying job, and raise our family either in the city itself, or in…

Send us a text We talk here about what to do to optimize our health and wellness. And rightly so! Eat right, a strongly protein-centric diet. Plenty of micronutrients, from a paleo type of diet. Good sleep, every night, in a dark room, devoid of blue light distractions and screens… Of course, all of these are essential to a healthy life for us and …

Send us a text Ever since the paleo diet hit the news and the internet, different iterations and ‘spins’ on that format have appeared endlessly. Even at the supermarket, I see magazines in the checkout lane, screaming KETO in large print! “Eat FAT FAT FAT!” is all around, along with Carbs are death! On the next magazine, Ozempic the diet drug is to…

Send us a text As you go through life, some things are constant. Working out is one constant: your body needs to work out, consume healthy foods, and get ample sleep every day of your life. These things remain the same! I have found that working out for strength and flexibility actually become more important as you progress into your 50’s, 60’s and…

Send us a text Most Americans nowadays are severely overmedicated, malnourished, and sick! This sounds like an extreme statement, but is nevertheless true. Most adults are on a number of drugs, from anti-depressants, statins, high blood pressure drugs; drugs to help you sleep, and drugs to wake you up. The average number of drugs the average Americ…

Send us a text I know, you’ve heard it from standard medical advice your whole life: ‘You don’t need supplements! Everything your body and mind needs is in the food you eat!’ Well, this might have been true, even a couple of hundred years ago, to some extent. But nowadays, when the majority of the ‘fake, engineered foods’ most people ingest; things…

Send us a text New Year New You Now I don’t mean that each year you should try to become a brand new person! Not at all. What I expect of each of us is to gradually learn about ourselves and our environment, and by self-observation and gradual study, to improve ourselves steadily, both physically and mentally. I’m not kidding; I know this sounds pr…

Send us a text Your daily workouts are crucial for your body, and mind! Not only in the gym, or your living room, but outside and in the woods, roads, and park. They don’t need to be written down or chronicled, or obsessed over. Not at all! But they do need to be something that you fit into your daily life, as an important part, forever. When I was…

Send us a text You don’t have enough magnesium! Probably, because almost no one does. The levels have been dropping in food sources for decades, and the diseases and illnesses caused by this lack are growing by leaps and bounds: high blood pressure, inability to sleep and relax, migraines and headaches, arthritis, diabetes (studies show magnesium i…

Send us a text Perhaps you’ve heard that our ancient Cro-Magnon ancestors in Europe of perhaps 35,000 years ago and more tend to have near-perfect dentition, despite not having toothbrushes, floss, or dentists… Why do you suppose this is? And it’s not because they lived such short lives that they didn’t have time to develop cavities and the like. S…

Send us a text Let’s say you are young, 18-22 or so, and just starting out in life. You are hopefully well educated, and undoubtedly have some ideas of what you want to do, and how to support yourself, hopefully along with a family before too long. Along with basic questions of career, and just how to get started, you really should consider as vita…

Send us a text Hopefully you’ve heard by now of the Carnivore Diet! It is very easy to understand; this is part of its charm. You can’t go wrong- you only eat meat. For some, like Jordan Peterson and his daugter, you only eat beef, and salt. (If they don’t, they suffer debilitating autoimmune conditions, and massive depression). And so, they follow…

Send us a text https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a6nfG69c9g I read and hear all the time about how we all should do certain things when we reach a certain age. If not, we are being irresponsible… It starts really young: get your baby vaccinations- a LOT of vaccinations, all at once! (NOT a good idea. much better to space them out over years, and eve…

Send us a text I just fell down, hard! I went out to the garage, in the rain, and slipped on the mud around our new sidewalk landscaping project. It’s been dry here for so long that I think I forgot how to walk on mud, and my legs shot up in the air and I crashed down on my back. I was fine, and so just got what I came out for, and went back in the…

Send us a text Hello, and welcome to the Smoothie Cafe! We are here traditionally discussing health and fitness from a Paleo Diet point of view. A smoothie, made preferably in a Vitamix, is key to maximizing your nutritional density intake, and that is still my belief. But as in anything looked at honestly for a while, say 10 years or more as it is…

Send us a text I am at an odd place right now. It’s now even that crazy, but it does confuse me- I have gotten a new computer! I know, that actually sounds good, not bad… but trust me: I was so used to my old computer that, even though it was slow, and sometimes frustrating- at least I always knew where things were, and how things worked in general…

Send us a text It’s really not that hard to accomplish. The information is all there, unfortunately, much of it is obscured by people ‘selling things’, such as offering an easy way. That is indeed the problem: no matter how hard you look, online, on TV or on YouTube commercials- there really is no easy way. But there is a simple and effective way! …

Send us a text ABOUT EVERYTHING! I know, that sounds a tad extreme… but it is true, nevertheless. I started out today thinking about this while listening to a podcast by Shawn Baker, a carnivore doctor who has a podcast, and youtube videos about the subject. He was interviewing a former vegan, as he often does. This was a man who almost died of his…

Send us a text Was it really for almost 3 long years that we had to wear useless masks, had our churches and schools largely closed, and we were forced to inject into our bodies toxic MRNA fake vaccines that didn’t even work to protect us? And that now are proving to have done irreparable harm to our bodies, making us prone to myocardial diseases o…

Send us a text It doesn’t matter where you are now. Not at all. This is, as they say, the first day of the rest of your life! So let’s get started. It all starts with diet and exercise. Everything in your future life of fitness and wellness. So, this January 1st of 2023 (or whenever you are reading this, I’m writing on January 1st) clean out your c…

Send us a text OK- my last podcast was about walking backward, and so bulletproofing and building your lower body. Remember, this is achieved by: Walking backward, usually against the resistance of an elastic band ideally, And then doing various ‘Knees over toes guys’ exercises, including deadlifts and stiff-legged deadlifts on a platform, aka Jeff…

Send us a text I hope you are aware of the benefits of backward walking! I first heard about this from Ben Patrick, the ‘knees over toes guy’, and he is really onto something big here. I am now 70 years of age, and I’ll tell you, this is around the age when many of my contemporaries are getting knee (and hip) replacement surgeries. Trust me: this i…

Send us a text Conventional wisdom these days is to eat more vegetables and grains, and above all cut fat, saturated fat being regarded as particularly evil. Butter and any form of animal fat is the devil incarnate- eat vegetable oils instead! The real truth is petty much the opposite. The foundation of your diet should be animal products. And of t…

Send us a text I can just hear so many people on this: “HOW to retire?? What a joke- I already know how to do NOTHING! I’ll sleep late, watch TV, and lay around eating whatever I want! Perfect retirement.” Sounds good, but I’m afraid- quite naive and self destructive. Do you really want your retirement to be the same as the life of a welfare person…

Send us a text Modern life is seen to be practical and a cut-to-the-essentials type of living. Science will lead us now- no more superstition! And let’s be practical, above all! No more Victorian frills and nonsense- from now on, we will ‘cut to the chase’ and ‘concentrate on the essentials above all’! Such a viewpoint is very shortsighted, and mis…

Send us a text I know that I have written and spoken about this before. BUT, it’s been awhile, and it needs repeating since it is usually ignored: MOST of what you get from the standard medical clinics and doctors is untrue. MOST! The information they give you is self-serving, and mostly misleading. For instance, I was having a conversation today a…

Send us a text I know, working out twice per day sure doesn’t sound like a way to save time…But bear with me. This scheme has been working wonderfully well for me for months now. Months ago, I started incorporating Ben Patrick’s ‘Knees Over Toes’ exercises into my routine. If you haven’t started doing his revolutionary exercises of strengthening th…

Send us a text Drop Acid is the clever title of a new book by David Perlmutter, neurologist. This is a ground-breaking book, with new knowledge of the importance of uric acid in your life. And believe me: even if you’ve never heard of uric acid, or more commonly only see its importance in the relationship it has to gout- after reading this science …

Send us a text Ok- the paleo diet was ground breaking in every way! It was actually started by a man named Walter Voegtlin, who was a gastroenterologist. He called it the ‘Stone Age Diet’, a diet that eliminated most all foods that came after the agricultural revolution approximately 10,000 years ago. After him, Loren Cordain is the one who revived…

Send us a text So you are anticipating retirement? Great- I did too for a long time, and I have good news for you: it can be wonderful! Fulfilling, satisfying, and a long sight better than working a 9-5 job endlessly. I have been retired now for 6 years, and am 69 years old and happier (and healthier) than I have ever been. But then, I also know a …

Send us a text When I suggest that you find your own homeland, I mean that you should not live in the same area in which you were born and grew up- unless that area is a rural, or small town conservative kind of place. Also, if you live in a solid blue, authoritarian state like Illinois, California, or New York, you should leave! We are in strange …

Send us a text If you are one of those people who run to the clinic to see a doctor for any little ailment, or just to get endless check ups to make sure you are all right; well, you are doing it all wrong my friend! No offense, but medical interventions are usually the cause of more harm than good. Iatrogenesis is the term that defines this: it me…

Send us a text I am 69 years old. I mention this because it explains where I am at, and I want to discuss how priorities change over the years. Not completely, but what is most important to you at age 20 or so is not the same as what you value most at age 40, 50, 60, or even (gulp) 70! Some things do stay the same, at least if you have chosen your …

Send us a text Ben Patrick, the Knees Over Toes Guy http://kneesovertoesguy.com is a force to be reckoned with!

Frank Zane, body builder of the 60’s and 70’s along with Arnold Swarzzenegger inspired me early o…

Send us a text I kind of hate to rain on anyone’s parade, particularly those who believe in the benefits of exercise! But the thing it this: exercise is something that improves one’s body, something that makes you better physically. Makes you stronger, more flexible, and/or more enduring. That is the whole point of it! But we have been misled about…

Send us a text So very many people (most probably) look at their periodic vacations as being the most valued part of their life. The ONE thing that they focus on, and that is the most valuable part of their lives! They travel overseas, they go to white sand beaches and stay in fancy hotels and dine in amazing restaurants. They may even do a little …

Send us a text http://www.paleojay.com The truth is definitely in: the whole fiasco of Ken Cooper’s Aerobics mania is dead. Along with the high fat diet is the worst, and the even earlier notion of ‘better living through chemistry’ which promoted the noxious idea that drugs could not only prolong our lives, but improve them. Despite Elvis and all t…

Send us a text I try to keep you all updated as to what I learn along this paleo journey. Sometimes, as in anything increased experience and research results in slight changes on the path. This doesn’t mean the path itself is invalid; it simply means that constant attention reveals small changes may be desirable. For instance, now in the grocery ch…

Send us a text Now, you know I am using a bit of hyperbole here, right? You won’t necessarily die- but you will definitely regret not doing so, and I mean really, really, really regret it! Remember prices in the 1950’s or 60’s, when gasoline was 19 cents or so, and candy bars were a nickel? And prices of everything else were similarly minuscule com…

Send us a text It’s kind of sad to reach the autumn of your years, only to realize that the civilization you were reared in- Western Civilization- the most vital and successful civilization of all time, is foundering! Now, I don’t mean that it is failing, but it is in crisis. Just as ancient Greece, and then ancient Rome, which picked up the mantle…

Send us a text If you’ve been following the paleo diet and lifestyle for any length of time, you know that there are certain things that are taken as irrefutable gospel: Never eat grains because of gluten and gliaden, also too much (bad- fake) salt and all of the preservatives and glycogen that is sprayed on conventional wheat and other grains. Nev…

Send us a text In these strange times, when so much seems to be falling apart and in endless flux, it is time to focus on the self. Even when there is little you can accomplish in the realm of politics, including the collapse of the cities and schools, law and order and endless reckless spending- you can work on your own health, wellness, and fitne…

Send us a text In returning to an approximation of the paleolithic world in modern times, of course the first thing is to eat and otherwise conduct ourselves in accordance with our evolutionary heritage. Move naturally, and often to build our bodies as did our ancestors for millennia, sleep according to our circadian rhythms, and live in a rural, n…

Send us a text We are living in strange times, where someone who is for free speech, and for the enhancement of their own tribe and group, and for things like truth and justice is painted as evil! A white supremacist if you desire crime enforcement, a hater if you support property rights, and a liar if you support the objective truth. This is what …
