• Intro (0:00)
• News and Views (0:40)
  • Welcome back from Texas, Sarah! Sorry you lost your voice! Sarah always tries to take it easy after travel because it hits her hard.
  • We counted wrong. This is 249, not 250. But next week will be special!
  • Sarah is back from Paleo FX.! We love meeting people, talking to people and finding interesting stories.
  • Weekly reminder that Paleo Principles is coming soon!
  • Stacy couldn’t make it this year because we had so much going on this year, including selling our house!
  • This year Paleo FX wasn’t about “carbs” or other controversies, but on getting back to the anthropological roots, it seemed.
  • Sarah feels like she didn’t have to defend science as a concept this year like she has in the past. Remember: science is a process for finding truth, not a monolithic set of ideas.
  • The idea of Paleo FX is Paleo as implemented into practice. So getting into minutiae seems silly.
  • Sarah’s talk was about what we know from scientific reaseach about reducing disease risk. She thought it was well received.
  • Paleo FX did seem to be focusing on synthesizing modern and evolutionary biology.
  • Several talks focused on lifestyle factors like sleep. Sarah liked hearing about it from Dan Pardi and Dr. Kirk Parsley
  • Next year, Paleo FX is rebranding to Health FX, a controversial decision!
  • Sarah and Stacy think this is part of a greater movement to make Paleo idea more mainstream and associated with just good health.
  • Just make sure that your conference doesn’t suddenly become full of angry vegans!
  • Some things that Sarah loved:
    • Sarah liked Jilz Crackers (which were our late brother Andrew’s favorite), which are sesame and almond flour. Delicious and some are AIP-friendly!
    • Sarah tried some alfajores, which she loved!
    • Sarah also liked the new ghee based chocolate spread
    • MuffinElse was there with a just add water pancake mix that she liked
    • Pure Indian Foods has a new oils like Black Cumin Seed oil that are great.
    • Epic bar has a lot of new flavors, including AIP friendly ones like a great Salmon one.
    • One Stop Paleo Shop now has a chocolate hazelnut bar from Hu’s Kitchen. It’s awesome!
    • Xero Shoes has a line of natural movement shoes that are tough but flexible.

    • Anthony Morocco from Morocco Methods gave Sarah advice on managing her daughter’s hair.
    • Sweet Apricity has a line of tasty, dangerous caramels.
