Send us a text When should I stop exercising? Well, I hope this is a trick question, because the obvious answer is never! Kind of like asking when you should stop walking, or sleeping, or eating for God’s sake! Moving your limbs and constantly striving to make improvements in your physical abilities is a lifelong project, and just as we should constantly work at getting better and more able physically, we should also try to do so mentally as well. Just as I am constantly r...

Send us a text Workouts are absolutely necessary for health and fitness! Now, hopefully you know that, and already accept the fact that while a proper, paleo sort of diet without industrial seed oils and processed foods of junk and fast food stuff, and loaded with good meats and full fat dairy is vital as well. But what kind of workout is best for you? The bottom line is this: it changes over time! When you are a kid, meaning 20 or so and under, I suggest that calis...

Send us a text It seems as though the great ‘Paleo Boom’ has come and gone! All the books, all the podcasts- where have they gone? I’ve been writing and podcasting for more than 10 years; I used to listen to Robb Wolf and The Paleo Solution, Jimmy Moore and Livin La Vida Low Carb, Mark Sisson and his Primal Podcast, and many others. Don’t hear much from Robb Wolf anymore- Jimmy Moore is locked in prison for God’s sake- and Primal goes on, and is just kind of Paleo with a differe...

Send us a text There seem to be many views on what should be the goal of exercise! Should you aim, above all, at flexibility, or should it be cardiovascular ability? Or should you shoot for a balance of strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular (aerobic) fitness! Well, obviously it seems to me, that a balanced approach is better- after all, all of these three components are crucial in their own ways. But together, they are the key to ultimate fitness, right? W...

Send us a text One piece of misinformation that has been around for a long time is the idea that strength training workouts need to be…LONG! And I mean HOURS long… I fell for this myself in my younger days. I mean, if 1 hour of intense workout exercises is good, well, 2 hours is even better, right? And the big one: if 3 workouts per week is enough for Steve Reeves and his ilk, well why not be like Arnold and Zane, and workout 6 days per week, sometimes twice per day!  ...

Send us a text I have worked out with weights, and then with calisthenics for many, many years. Starting in my teens, and continuing now, as I prepare to turn 73 in April. My results have been phenomenal, and as I continue to work out daily, I have turned more and more away from weights and equipment, and more and more rely on calisthenics and virtual resistance. I have acquired some injuries over time, and the most nagging is the shoulder. Everyone who does heavy p...

Send us a text Our country has been failing, for quite some time. The democrats have become a new party, completely: from the “party of the working man”, which was never really true at all, they have fallen to the level of a totally leftist, socialist/communist totalitarian state, ready to rule over us all! Donald Trump has changed all that. Not that he’s a perfect person, no one says that. But, he is a real, honest-to-God person that represents us all, in particular rea...

Send us a text I think this is a sane recommendation for any person: work out sensibly for one hour, every day of your life! Not too extreme, and not wimpy- you need this hour for strength and flexibility training, not mindless cardio, where you run like a brainless chicken. Such “training” only drains you, diminishes your muscle, not build it, and ignores strength building (the essence of truly working out!). A true workout is very mindful. You need to ‘think into’ your m...

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 Medicine is NOT your friend! My uncle Bob Manthey, my mother’s older brother, just turned 102 last week. He never saw a medical doct...

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 the nearby suburbs? NO! What you really want and need, to be healthy and well adjusted, is to live a PALEO LIFE. B...

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 our family! Along with proper strength training, and adequate flexibility. But all of this counts for naug...

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 touted. “ Get skinny fast!” Really? They neglect to mention that not only do you need to take the drug for LIFE, but also t...

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 beyond. But the amount of stimulation your muscles need for strength decreases, while the stretching required actually increas...

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 American is on at any one time, are 7. At a cost of $1200 dollars per year, per person. Of course, this is excluding...

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 like seed oils instead of real animal fat, and soda pop and fruit juices instead of actual water, and fast food fake meat and white bu...
