The top wellness priorities by geography were:

Hunter's Education Guide

Looking to go hunting this season? With one exception, wild game cannot be purchased. The only way to get it is to receive it as a gift or to hunt it yourself. Actor and writer Fisher Neal, talks about his article "Hunter's Education Guide" in Paleo Magazine. Here are a few questions we ask:

* How does hunter education work? It is required to be able to purchase a hunting license, is taught for free by state officials and volunteers, consists of home study and a field session, and has reciprocity across state lines. Some states now have an Apprentice License that allows beginners to hunt with a mentor before taking the course.

Sleep & Circadian Rhythm: The Brain Benefits of Getting Enough Sleep

We are dominated by time. But beyond the alarm clock that drives us out of bed our bodies answer to a much older clock that can be found in almost all living things. An internal 24hr biological clock (circadian clock) regulates and drives much of our biology, timing our sleep and even influencing the chances of having a heart attack or surviving cancer.

Understanding how these rhythms are generated and regulated within the brain has been one of the great triumphs of neuroscience. As Director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford, Dr. Foster will lead us through the science and importance of sleep and circadian rhythms, what happens when these systems go wrong and the consequences of our increasingly 24/7 world. He may even change your mind about why you need to sleep more!
