The Aaron Olson Podcast

I talk with the author of Paleofantasy, Marlene Zuk. We talk about whether or not the Paleo Diet is just a fantasy or if it can lead to better health. Marlene also talks about rapid evolution and how species evolve in surprising ways. We end the discussion by talking about exercise and what, if anything, evolution tells us about the optimal way to be fit and healthy.

I talk with John Durant, author of Paleo Manifesto: Ancient Wisdom for Lifelong Health. We discuss why living Paleo is more than just the food we eat. Durant says that for optimum health we need to take a closer look at the habitat we create for ourselves. Like a gorilla taken from its natural habitat and stuck in a zoo, modern man is far from his natural habitat and suffers ill-health because of it.

I talk with Matt Whitmore & Keris Mardsen about their book Paleo Primer: A Jump-Start Guide to Losing Body Fat and Living Primally. We talk about some of the amazing recipes in the book, including Matt's Scotch Egg and Keris' incredible Paleo "cheats of champions".

I talk with Jimmy Moore about his new book, Cholesterol Clarity: What the HDL is Wrong With My Numbers.

She woke up with a headache and in a fog each morning, with digestion problems that a pot of coffee couldn't cure! We also talk about Stephanie's diet, her running, and her business - Picky Bars.

In this episode I talk with Oliver Burkeman about his book The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking. We talk about the upsides of negativity, uncertainty, failure and imperfection.

In this episode I talk with Stephanie Seneff about the importance of cholesterol-sulfate. We discuss Stephanie's view of disease, the importance of sun exposure, Vitamin D, Autism, Alzheimer's, and nourishing foods.

In this episode I talk with endurance coach and athlete Joe Friel, co-author of Paleo for Athletes. We talk about how Joe got into eating Paleo, how it helped him train harder, and what he has learned since he first started eating Paleo.
