Angela talks to Keith Norris, the co-founder and Chief Development Officer of Paleo f(x), the largest Paleo platform in the world, and whose mission is to optimise health and lifestyle.

Keith’s determination to radicalise health and diet stems from both his military experiences and a personal tragedy that shaped his outlook on life. In this very special edition of High Performance Health, Keith talks about his Seven Pillars Of Human Optimisation system, how to enhance your epigenetic expression, as well as how to use exercise as a gateway to your subconscious.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Three days before her twenty-third birthday, Keith’s daughter was killed in a car accident. This devastated Keith and his family, and forced them to re-evaluate their lives, including their career paths.
• Everyone in the family came to the realisation that they were unhappy with the path they were on. To people on the outside looking in, they represented the ideal of the American Dream. But inside they knew that their missions lay elsewhere. It was this impetus to grow and evolve that led to the founding of Paleo f(x).
• Keith does not count himself as a great businessman, but he does see himself as a great networker. He finds getting to know people, and getting the best out of people, to be his greatest skills.
• Partnerships are never 50/50. There are times when they are 99/1, and fluctuate throughout the year. Partnerships are all about stepping up when you can and supporting the other when it's needed.
• Keith’s Seven Pillars Of Health are:
  • Emotional Health
  • Mental Health
  • Physical Health
  • Relational Health
  • Financial Health
  • Spiritual Health
  • Community
• Physical health is often built upon data, which is useful, but Keith believes in listening to the needs of his own body by checking in internally. Data can be useful, but it can also become a crutch.
• What does your body need to survive? Firstly is movement; move whenever possible and move consistently. Secondly, diet; Paleo is Keith’s choice as it is easy to follow and the most effective.
• Multi-generational households are sadly missing in much of the world now. Elderly people have much to give, and are an invaluable source of wisdom, and when they are kept as an active part of communities, they can help to nurture successive generations.

‘In our culture, to succeed is to have material excess’

‘We’re natural networkers’

‘My competition now is life’

‘We want to help the most people that we can’
