The Primal Shift ·

2024/11/13

Ever wonder if you’re feeding your dog the diet nature intended? In this episode, I explain why dogs are natural-born meat eaters and challenge some widespread misconceptions about what your dog should be eating (even those your vet might be promoting). Dogs descend directly from wolves, which are obligate carnivores with physiology designed for a meat-centric diet. From their sharp, pointed teeth (which are ideal for tearing flesh) to their highly acidic digestive systems (which effortlessly break

The Primal Shift ·

2024/10/30

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many of us are gearing up to prepare the perfect holiday feast. But before you grab just any turkey from the supermarket, consider opting for a pasture-raised bird. They have better fat profiles, more nutrients, and superior flavor compared to their factory-farmed counterparts. Plus, pasture-raised turkeys are often raised via regenerative farming practices that benefit the planet. In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I explain why the way a turkey

2024/10/23

When you commit to improving your health — whether it’s through diet, exercise, or lifestyle changes — you often find yourself at odds with the people closest to you. For example, when I made the switch to paleo over a decade ago, it put a serious strain on my relationship with my wife. I cut out entire food groups overnight, convinced it was the best way forward for our health. But without explaining my reasons or considering her perspective, it nearly pushed us to the brink. In this episode of the

Have you ever noticed how on some days, powering through a tough workout or jumping into the freezing water of a cold plunge feels almost effortless, while on others, it’s as if your ability to push through discomfort has vanished? It’s not always just a matter of motivation or willpower. Low testosterone can directly impact both your physical and mental performance, making it more difficult to stay focused and deal with hormetic stressors like extreme temperatures and intense activity. Despite my

Many of us go through life in a state of constant distraction and stress, unable to break free from the pressure that modern living places on our mental health. Whether it’s struggling with decision fatigue, anxiety, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the constant stream of information, finding calm seems harder than ever. That’s where meditation comes in; it can be a powerful tool to rewire your brain and help you manage these challenges in a healthier way. In this episode, I sit down with Ariel

2024/10/02

Are you finding that your HbA1c levels are elevated despite being on a low-carb, ketogenic, or even carnivore diet? Recently, my HbA1c test came back at 5.7 (just under the prediabetic range), and I knew something was off; after all, I’ve been following a relatively low-carb lifestyle for years, so there’s no way my blood sugar should be high enough to suggest prediabetes. In consulting with carnivore diet expert and medical doctor Shawn Baker, I learned that healthy red blood cells that live

Did you know that your biological age can tell a different story than your chronological age? From a health perspective, it’s not just about the number of years you’ve lived, but how your body has aged at the DNA level. Understanding your biological age can reveal how lifestyle choices and environmental factors have impacted your long-term health and longevity. In this episode, I’m joined by Hannah Went from TruDiagnostic, a company that specializes in biological age testing and epigenetics, helping

Most of us barely think about it, but this hidden universe inside us plays a vital role in our well-being. I recently explored my own gut microbiome using Jona, an AI-powered platform that goes far beyond typical gut tests.

Navigating a health journey can be challenging, especially when it involves significant dietary changes and their impact on family dynamics. In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, my wife Kathy and I open up about our transition through various diets and how it affected our lives and relationship. Our journey began when Kathy was diagnosed with prediabetes. We decided to cut out processed sugars, which seemed straightforward. But soon thereafter, I became interested in the Paleo diet and

I used to be a major CrossFitter, spending multiple days per week in the box. But lately, I’ve been cutting back on CrossFit workouts and spending less time in the gym, instead prioritizing daily walks with the dog, manual labor around the homestead, and experimenting with innovative resistance training using X3 bands. In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I’ll tell you about my current regimen and explain why I increasingly focus on balancing intense workouts with natural, ancestral

What if I told you that lard could be the next big thing in skincare? Charles Mayfield, the founder of Farrow Skincare and a veteran in regenerative farming, says that because lard is so similar to human sebum (one of the skin’s natural oils), it can be an incredibly effective moisturizer that the skin readily absorbs, providing deep nourishment without exposing yourself to the harsh and dangerous chemicals typically found in commercial skincare products. In this episode, he joins us to talk about

Outsourcing food production is not only foolish but downright irresponsible, considering how vital food is to our health and well-being. In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I’ll explain why growing your own food — as opposed to blindly trusting faceless corporations with your nourishment — is crucial for truly healthy living. In short, many staples of the standard American diet are produced in ways that deeply degrade their nutritional value (and in some cases, actually make the food

Emotional and psychological factors play significant roles in how we interact with food, and particularly sugar.

In this episode I dive into the fascinating connection between diet and body odor, sharing personal anecdotes and scientific insights to help you understand how what you eat can influence how you smell. There are two main types of sweat glands: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Eccrine glands produce a watery, odorless sweat that helps regulate body temperature, while apocrine glands (found in areas like the armpits and groin) secrete a thicker fluid that’s rich in proteins and lipids.

Ben shares his journey from a worried parent to the founder of WaveBlock, a company dedicated to reducing harmful radiation from everyday devices.

In this episode, I tackle those claims, explaining the science that supports these practices as well as why recent headlines suggesting otherwise are misleading.
