Maybe it’s an injury that took months to overcome. Maybe it’s an illness that left you bedridden (or demotivated). Maybe it’s simple disuse and neglect that dragged on and on—or lasted your entire life until today. Or maybe you read my recent post about claiming health in later life and want to get back on...
2019 was a big year here. I’ll start with the obvious. I sold Primal Kitchen® to Kraft Heinz back at the start. And though some of you expressed doubt and skepticism (totally understandable), I’m happy to report that things are going great. The brand and its products are still as high quality as ever while appearing...

It’s unclear if surgery is effective for rotator cuffs. Ketones improve cognition in patients with type 2 diabetes. New Primal Blueprint Podcasts Episode 393: Tara Garrison: Host Elle Russ...
