In this episode, we hope to provide an overview of the Paleo diet and help you navigate why the “rules” are the way they are. Why is it that we avoid grains? Beans? Sugar? What is inflammation and why are we trying so hard to avoid it? We hope we can take you by the hand and lead you through the reasoning. After this show, we hope you will be on a happy, healthy path for your life!

Thanks for the podcasts. Sarah, hope you are planning to do a book about the science behind Paleo even including many of your posts that I read but need to refer back to-kind of a reference book. Thanks.
Hi Sarah,
I just listened to the Paleo 101 podcast and wanted to mention that Macadamia oil is actually a very good cooking oil as it has a high smoke point (410 F), has very few polyunsaturated fats (16% saturated, 83% monounsaturated, 1% polyunsaturated), and has a good omega 6:3 ratio (1.3g: 0.2g).
Keep spreading the good (Paleo) word!
