Improvements To FreeTheAnimal.com That May Tickle Your Fancy

I have a longtime friend, where, our relationship began as business associates. 1993; nearly 30 years ago. Today, we still exchange emails and he's a paid subscriber to this blog. Way back, he was in the business opportunity business. I bought his basic book on debt negotiation for $89 out of the $200 I had to my name at the time. And I turned that initial knowledge—simple enough to execute immediately—into a company that eventually…Read More

The Definitive Case For Deleting Social Media

Introduction On the 20-year Anniversary of 9/11, I made the decision to delete the social media accounts I actively used for years: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. No, I didn’t just disable them, I deleted them. Of course, in hopes that you will relent and just log back in, you can undo it, just like that....…Read More

Is it Time to Turn Back My Attention to Weight Loss?

No matter where in the world you look—no matter which gender, which race, which culture, which geographical area, which standard diet—there is only one thing of which you may be absolutely certain: Not one of any list list you can contrive, on average, is getting leaner, fitter, more healthy.Read More

Oil-Free Air-Fryer Chicken Wings (Bonus: With Fries)

Buffalo Wings are a pretty dumb thing to eat much or very often. Take the fattiest part of the chicken, with skin, deep fry it in fat, toss it in a sugar-laden sauce, then dip it in a 100% fat sauce like blue cheese dressing. Here’s a better way, though for ketotarded morons it doesn’t have...…Read More

Arthur De Vany on Facebook; 1985 Paleo

For years and years, people have been asking me, “where is Art De Vany?” Right here. Take an old narrative, make money and prestige off of it, then defend how right and just you were from the beginning, for the rest of your life. I generally laugh at the idea. Sure, perhaps you’re Einstein and...…Read More

Tim Steele’s Resistant Starch Testing Project

Those who’ve been around for a while might recall the time, years ago, when Tim and I set out to introduce Resistant Starch to the diet and health world, beyond the scant mentions here and there prior. In all, we collaborated on over 100 posts on the general topic on this blog, and in addition,...…Read More

Coming Very Soon: Tribal Prebiotic

It’s from Karl Seddon, inventor and manufacturer of Elixa Probiotic, of which we’ve talked about so much over the last couple of years. It’s Tribal Prebiotic. You may recall that nearly two years ago—and after chewing on...…Read More

Dr. Mark Hyman On Resistant Starch

Really decent short introduction to Resistant Starch by the doc. I didn’t really know much about him, but plugging around this morning leads to me conclude that Hyman’s dietary recommendation are pretty damn sensible. But wait, you say, don’t carbs contribute to insulin resistance, heart disease and other health concerns? Some do, but the truth...…Read More

Reconstructing Garlic As A Whole Food

There are a lot of opinions about garlic; I’ve learned. Probably lots of hype, too. It does seem clear that there’s a lot of medicinal value to the stuff, and its use as such appears to go all the way back to ancient Egypt. But what’s hip and what’s hype? What compounds are the ones...…Read More

My Podcast Interview About Resistant Starches and Grains

Here was part one of this interview with the Well Travelled New Zealander Jake Shuster. I’d hate for you to listen to part 2 without first hearing that part one. Here’s part 2: Podcast #43: Tubers, The Wheat Question and Iron Hypotheses with Richard Nikoley. If part one of our interview with FreeTheAnimal.com owner Richard Nikoley was a primer on resistant starch...…Read More

Podcast Interview at Well Travelled Wellness

Here’s a podcast interview with me by Jake Shuster of Well Travelled Wellness. We discuss Resistant Starch, the Human Gut Microbiome and according to Jake, Paleo Hipsters. Or it’s that he thinks that describes me. Although… Richard Nikoley might give the fewest f*cks of anyone on the internet. I like to think so. Go give...…Read More
