The more he devoured the research and conducted personal nutrition experiments, the more he became convinced that our modern diet had strayed very significantly from that of our primal ancestors…and our health was faltering as a consequence. His 20-year quest taught him that what we eat is the key determinant to an energetic mind and lean, agile body…and that Primal eating accomplished all his health and fitness desires-quickly and easily. He also cast about for a way to heal some of the chronic "itises" he had developed while overtraining (arthritis, tendinitis, gastritis, sinusitis, etc.). ![]() Once his competitive days were over, he searched for a way to keep his health in check and his body fat low without having to run hundreds of miles a week and strength train at the gym every day.
