Things I’m Up to and Interested In

Thrills of my week: Being on Good Morning America to share about The Keto Reset Diet and watching it hit #1 on Amazon. I am humbled and so grateful for the support of this community, which has been an incredible seedbed for this—and all my Primal projects.

I think the man in this video exaggerates the technique but the point is well-made: How people walked before hard-soled shoes hit the scene.
