E32: Paleo and What Happens When You Challenge Your Food
Have you ever wondered where you really come from as a modern human being? Or what you are designed to eat? Today is your lucky day!
In this episode, Gary interviews Paleo Diet expert Trevor Connor. For those not fully versed in the Paleo topic, it directly relates to our former skinnier, happier selves—hunter-gatherers.
Trevor Connor was Dr. Loren Cordain’s (author of the best-selling book The Paleo Diet) final graduate student at Colorado State University. His research with Dr. Cordain has focused on the effects of a Paleo-style diet on autoimmune conditions. Their pilot study included close to 60 volunteers with diverse conditions ranging from Crohn’s Disease to Multiple Sclerosis to Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. So far, the results have been very promising, including all eight Crohn’s subjects going into remission on the Paleo Diet.
Trevor started working with Dr. Cordain in 2010, soon after retiring as a Professional Cyclist. At 38, he felt it was time to hang up the bike. Trevor had studied traditional sports nutrition for over a decade and was admittedly very reluctant to accept the Paleo Diet. But after experimenting with the diet himself, Trevor was able to return to the Pro Peloton at 40, getting Top Five’s in several races and establishing himself as the top-ranked 40+ rider in the country for several years running.
Trevor is now the CEO of both the Paleo Diet, LLC and Fast Labs, LLC – a business focused on the endurance sports science. Trevor hosts a weekly podcast called Fast Talk and writes regularly for the international cycling magazine VeloNews.
