Introducing The Primal Endurance Podcast!
Back in November of 2013, we published our first Primal Blueprint Podcast, and have since published a total of 69 weekly feature-length episodes, along with over 100 audio recordings of Mark’s Daily Apple articles.

Articles abound about the amazing podcast advertising power of reaching a niche audience, the convenience of getting podcasts on demand through mobile devices, and the increasing ability of
Memorial Day Recap
Rise and shine! My goal for the next few weeks – get into the habit of going to bed early! The Husband and I have made pinky swear promises to be in bed by 9:30. I have realized that it takes me a good 30 minutes to get into bed once I decide to go to bed… So part of this promise is closing my book/shutting off the TV at 9:00.

My child plays no sports.
band geek FTW!! I am definitely not a sportswoman. I was born before the push for girls in sports. I claim (I think I read it somewhere?) it’s all because when there’s dyslexia in a family the non-dyslexic sibling will have poor athletic prowess. The bottom line is I’m not traditionally athletic. I’ve discovered through trial & error, however, I enjoy moving my body and lifting heavy things/setting em back down. Most days the “heavy thing” I end up lifting is my body and I’m more than content with this fact. I think that was the reason I never thought much about the Child and sports when she was little. I encouraged her to play. I provided her

What’s next for tobacco control? A smoke-free generation
Rolling the legal age of smoking forward will result in fewer new smokers. Harry Phillips/, CC BY-NC-NDEach year 60,000 Australians and millions throughout the world die from cigarette smoking. One billion people are projected to die of tobacco-related disease by 2050. This is a national and international scandal. The tobacco-free generation is a key “endgame” reform, recognised internationally as part of a suite of measures to finally eliminate tobacco smoking. If legislation currently before the Tasmanian parliament passes, the state could be the first in the world to prohibit the sale of tobacco to people born after 2000. Before we get into the detail of the proposal, let’s take a closer look at the problem. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug which is usually obtained through

Nail Every Goal You Set: The Best Advice You’ve Probably Never Heard
Whatever your fitness or performance goal—lose weight, build strength, run a faster 5K, you name it—establishing the right environment for yourself is the foundation for your sustainable success. It’s so easy to fall prey to the idea that every goal has a simple, linear solution: “Losing weight equals moving more and eating less;” “toning up means lighter weights for more reps;” “running faster equates to including intervals.” While there is some truth to these approaches, they’re only part of the puzzle. The Big Four The first step on any fitness journey is to step back and consider the bigger picture of your environment. Your environment—all the facets of your life that impact your ability to achieve and sustain your goals and to live the
