Chris Kresser is coming to London for a pair of single-day seminars. On October 31, join Chris for “Let’s Take Back Your Health,” a fluid talk/Q&A session about ancestral health and diet with the man himself. On November 1, Chris will introduce his ADAPT Method, a functional medicine framework designed for ancestral-based health practitioners.

Seminars not your thing? You still gotta eat. There’s a great paleo pop-up dinner taking place in London October 30 and 31.

Research of the Week

A glass of red wine (and to a lesser extent, white wine) with dinner every night for a year reduced components of metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetics.

Among subjects running four times a week (a total of over 50 miles) for three months while training for a charity event, 11% lost weight, 11% gained weight, and 78% lost no weight.

Resistance training is the most realistic exercise modality for improving body composition.

Antibiotic usage is strongly associated with weight gain in children.

The brain controls thirst.

Catch-up sleep works.

New Primal Blueprint Podcasts

Episode 90: Stuart Tomc: Host Elle Russ hangs out with Stuart Tomc, former global educator at Nordic Naturals and current VP of human nutrition at CannaVest, to discuss how to determine your optimal omega-3 fatty acid intake and the emerging science supporting the health and medicinal benefits of hemp cannabinoids. Though THC is the cannabinoid that gets most of the attention (and controversy), it is cannabidiol (CBD) that may offer the most therapeutic benefits to people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, anxiety, seizures, or poor metabolic health. This one gets deep into the science, so be prepared.

Comment of the Week

I’ve been following MDA for a couple of years, and this post and part 1 were the most engaging ones so far. I loved the wide open expansive perspective it gave me, to complement the more common ‘drilling-down’ information. These posts belong in a book somewhere! Thanks Mark.

Thanks, Edmund. Feel free to print them out in put them in any book you own! 😉
