Primal health tip- MCT oil Medium chain triglyceride oil is an extract of coconut oil that is roughly 6 times stronger. It is manufactured by spinning the oil in a centrifuge to extract the most beneficial fatty acids. This substance helps your body to manufacture ketone bodies which aids in fat burning and energy production, also provides an instant energy source that is independent of glucose. Great choice for brain and mitochondrial health. P.S if you're going to try MCT's go easy until you are used to it or you might experience disaster pants shortly after ingestion

Primal health tip- cold exposure This one has been tough to convince people to try but the health benefits are well documented. We have multiple built in mechanisms specific to dealing with the stress of cold. And these mechanisms have been rendered dormant due to our choice to be in our comfort zone at all times. "Room temperature " is a recent invention by mankind and is antagonistic to the way our species has always lived. When you expose your body to the cold as in tak...ing a cold shower, all of your capillaries are exercised effectively strengthening your veins, this practice also has a massive anti inflammatory effect. Other notable effects are improved thyroid function, the stimulation of fat burning hormones such as epinephrine, and mitochondrial biogenesis (healthy mitochondria increase energy production) and more! Take a few minute cold shower every morning and see how your health transforms. See more

Primal health tip- stop guzzling juice Glucose and vitamin C actually compete along the same pathways for entry into the cells. Bread, crackers, pasta, and even too much fruit all converts to glucose in the body. When glucose levels are elevated, the body cannot absorb vitamin C which leads to a compromised immune system. Quick tip for people slamming down juice to "boost immune function with vitamin C". Moderate amounts of seasonal fruit is a great choice however overdoing it can quickly turn toxic.

Primal health tip- Breath manipulation Understanding how to alter our bodies chemistry through breathwork is a fast and affective way to gain control of our biology. Practices like the Wim Hof method can help you to improve alkalinity in the body and balance out cortisol levels while improving mitochondrial function among other benefits. I highly recommend trying a free app simply called the Wim Hof method where the man himself walks you through the exercises. Charge your body with breath and witness the many benefits

Primal health tip- STOP USING MICROWAVES Almost all foods contain some form of fatty acids. These are critical for our health. When you microwave any food, due to the unnatural heating method, it oxidizes the fats effectively altering the fatty acid profile. This turns all fats into trans fats which are highly inflammatory and toxic to the body. The convenience of microwaving food makes it a difficult thing to give up, however I encourage you to consider the downside and choose a safer heating method.
