Calling All Health & Fitness Bloggers

October 5, 2009|Richard Nikoley||

I’ve long wanted to dramatically increase the number of blogs and other good resources on the blogroll, but I really hate blogrolls that are dozens and dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of links. However, I’ve solved that by installing a widget that takes my whole list and gives a random slice of however many links I have it set to (currently 10). Each visitor gets a different mix at each visit.

Now I can have as many links as possible.

That’s where you come in. I’ve temporarily put up the whole list just to the right. Is you health, fitness, food, or workout blog or website on it? Or, do you know a good resource you think would fit in? Then drop a suggestion in comments, I’ll review the site, and if appropriate, will add it to the roll.

In general, blogs or websites should focus on health & fitness from a paleo, primal, evolutionary, or low-carb perspective.

Later: there’s a limit of 3 links per comment, otherwise the system thinks it’s spam. So, if you have more than three, either split the comments or just email them to me.

Later still: I’ve taken down the temp list to the right, but to see if your or another blog isn’t on it andnot already mentioned in the comments, then here’s a page with the whole list, except those here in the comments which I’ll add over the next few days.

I blog what I wish...from health, diet, and food to travel and lifestyle; to politics, social antagonism, expat-living location and time independent—while you sleep—income. I celebrate the audacity and hubris to live by your own exclusive authority and take your own chances. Read More

    I just started my own food and fitness blog promoting the paleo lifestyle (my take on the whole paleo/primal/zone debate). Please check it out!

    Hope you can enjoy some of my recipes! I love yours and the information you provide. It is great to have such success stories out there and to share the knowledge we find in the pursuit of healthy, longevity, and fitness.

    Richard,

    NephroPal is a site that would interest many of your readers. It has great diagrams along with clear explanations. http://nephropal.blogspot.com/

    Hey Richard!
    I’ve been a long-time lurker of your website and find it extremely intriguing. I admire your writing style and share many of your views and am also a huge advocate of living a paleo/primal life. I have posted my blog address for you to view. It is mainly a blog about my workout routine, a little of what I eat and some “rants and raves” from time to time. I am in the process of putting more thoughts on paper to eventually post some of my own articles in the near future. Hope you check it out. Thanks!

    -Steven

    Richard,
    It’s already on your list, and is my favourite blog related to health.
    Art Ayers is a one off in the blogging world.
    Surprised not to have seen a comment from your goodself on there up to now.

    Thanks Chris from Conditioning Research for mentioning Pay Now Live Later, which is mostly about nutrition.

    Richard, my site has a sister blog, Train Now Live Later (http://trainnowlivelater.blogspot.com) which deals more with the fitness side….

    Richard, this is my website: http://www.GarageStrength.com

    I train people/athletes and promote a whole foods, full fat, raw milk diet.

  22. Barry Kinsella on October 6, 2009 at 06:03

    Hi all,

    My blog focuses on Olympic weightlifting and is a mixture of a training log and thoughts about training and what it can teach us in life. For the last six weeks I have had a bit of a lifestyle change in that I have been avoiding starchy carbs and eating a full fat diet focusing mainly on fruit, vegtables, meat and fish/seafood. Here is the link, so let me know what you think: http://weightliftingepiphanies.blogspot.com/

    Our site is http://www.XCAP.tv It is in the process of becoming a resource center for athletes concerning nutrition and supplementation. Randy Couture and I are behind this. I would like to repost some of your blogs on the site. You have some good stuff for sure.

  26. tony K on October 6, 2009 at 13:54

    Hi Richard,

    http://www.emotionsforengineers.com has a generally hormonal paleo viewpoint. I have done a number of posts on lower carb diet, and scooped Tim Ferriss on gout by about 2 months.

    Cheers,
    tony

  27. Karl T on October 6, 2009 at 14:48

    Richard,

    My wife has an amazing primal blog. Her latest post is on tips for transitioning your children to a gluten & sugar free diet.

  28. Karl T on October 6, 2009 at 14:52

    Oops, I didn’t realize Andrea (10/5 15:30) already suggested Organic & Thrifty!

  29. Zach on October 6, 2009 at 15:02

    Great idea for the rotating blog posts. Here’s The Paleo Garden info. Thanks again.

    The Paleo Garden is an experimental collective of professionals in the legal, medical, consulting and writing communities. Grounded in the paleo/primal/EF philosophy, The Paleo Garden aims to ‘unite the clans’ with a focus on health, nutrition, fitness, agricultural reform and getting right with the world. We embrace Georges Hebert’s philosophy of “Be strong to be useful.” We are prone to discussion of foundational myths and theories of social organization as well as diet and fitness.

  30. -Brandon on October 6, 2009 at 15:20

    My site is about being a pro triathlete. I touch on nutritional topics quite often. The Missus and I have been an experiment of two taking part in an ill-informed vegan pilot study for a book at one time. We’ve moved much more paleo in nature.

    Here’s my blog:

    http://inhumanexperiment.blogspot.com

    Not exclusively paleo/low-carb, but rather overall health, longevity and experiments with various things. Still, I blog quite a bit from the paleo perspective as well.

    Hi, I’d like to submit my blog, no technical stuff. More of how a regular person makes use of information. Thanks. I like your blog. http://lowcarbmuscle.posterous.com/

    Humbly submitting myself and my random thoughts:

    Thanks!

    Great idea. Here’s another primal lifestyle & recipe blog for you: Nightlife http://inthenightlife.blogspot.com/

  35. Daniel on October 16, 2009 at 10:47

    Richard, let me know if you would like to add this blog about Barrett’s esophagus to your list. It’s got a low-carb bias but is focused on BE and cancer rather than heart disease.

  39. Bruce Perry on October 21, 2009 at 08:02

    hi Richard,

    My blog is a paleo-focused site that discusses nutrition and fitness (mostly weights, sprinting, and hiking/climbing).

    http://nutritionjocks.blogspot.com/

    Thanks very much,

    Bruce

  40. Sylvie O. on October 23, 2009 at 07:37

    Argh!!!! I love your idea, but my blog (paleo nutrition) is in French… What a torture!

    Here it is anyway, in case you have French readers out there:

  41. Kat on November 11, 2009 at 16:35

    Oh, pleeeeeeeese! 😀

  43. Richard Nikoley on January 24, 2010 at 11:25

    Note to all:

    I’m plodding through adding all these links and to keep things straight I’m going to delete the comments as I go. But if anyone still wants inclusion in the future, jut drop a comment here and I’ll get to it.

    To see whether you’re already on it or not, here’s the full blogroll.

  45. David Murphy on February 12, 2010 at 16:22

    This one is my site: http://www.integratewellness.net.
    I mostly write articles on how we were designed to breath, walk, sit, stand and run. I include exercises to try to help readers find their optimal alignment, the way were designed to move. Without knowing your body already, they are all suggestions for personal improvement, but along the lines of how most indigenous knowledge has developed since the pleistocene-try it and see if it helps.

  46. Adam Skillin on March 22, 2010 at 09:53

    I write a blog for a few close friends and family. It’s available at http://www.adamsbigfive.blogspot.com, where I constantly link to your site, MDA, quote Nora Gedgaudas, and always can use more clickers-on to keep me motivated. Link to it if you see fit. If I’m too late to the party, so be it!
