The FREE Video About What Real Food Really Is
by Sean Croxton
“It was the temptation of every civilization to take what nature spent thousands of years building and turn it into cash.”
The words of organic farming pioneer Sir Albert Howard (1873 – 1947) ring truer today than at any other time in the history of our planet.
In other words, we’ve really blown it.
When it comes to the destruction of the soil, the treatment and raising of animals, and our subsidized, genetically-modified, broad-scale-industrialized annual crop system…well, civilization really doesn’t seem so civilized.
The brutality inflicted upon nature in the name of profits and bottom lines has, of course, precipitated a trickle-up effect of sorts, moving from soil to plants to animals to us. And then it is we who further perpetuate the cycle by seemingly holding Mother Nature upside down by her ankles, vigorously shaking her until the last dime falls from her pockets.
And then what?
Where do we go from here?
As the old saying goes, you never know where you’re going till you know where you’ve been.
Our food supply has been through hell for the past half-century or so, but it had not always been that way. Hell only happened when man learned to convert sunlight and soil into cash crops and to turn animals into slaves.
FFD Workout: Build Muscle and Burn Fat with Eccentric Training!
by Sean Croxton & Brett Klika
Yo! What’s Up, Y’all!
Miss me?
Sorry for the long delay between posts. We’re still grinding away on the Real Food Summit, which launches in exactly one month! I’m pretty pumped about it. If you haven’t heard, this summit will feature LIVE daily Q&A sessions on UW Radio. I’m still figuring out the schedule, but our day one presenters will be Joel Salatin, Chris Kresser, and David Getoff. The lineup is LOADED. Stay tuned.
So, I asked you guys on Facebook a couple weeks ago what kind of workout video you wanted Brett and I to shoot. The overwhelming response was for us to do one on eccentric training, a style of training that Jonathan Bailor — author of The Smarter Science of Slim — and I chatted about on THIS RADIO SHOW.
According to Jonathan’s research, eccentric training is the BEST way to build muscle and lose fat. Interestingly enough, not many of us are doing it.
FFD Workout: The Memorial Day Mash!
by Sean Croxton & Brett Klika
Memorial Day weekend is upon us.
So since you have a whole extra day to yourself, why not squeeze in a workout???
Back by popular demand, Brett Klika and I got together yesterday to shoot a new episode of our Friday Fun Day workouts.
In this episode, we keep it simple with some funky push-ups, pull-ups, and split squats.
These will get your heart rate up!!!
Try them out for yourself. You can do all three movements back-to-back-to-back in a circuit for multiple sets, or you can take your time and gear it to your own fitness level.
The Podcast About Food Addiction, Your Brain, and Other Stuff…
by Sean Croxton
Food addiction is the real deal.
To speak of a dependency on sugar in the same breath as cocaine and alcohol addiction seems a bit odd, but biologically they cannot be more similar.
The brain needs a fix.
The neurochemicals that are over-amplified and imbalanced by street drugs and booze are the very same ones that are triggered by sweets and other processed foods.
Some experts and addicts even say that food addiction can be harder to kick than a bad cocaine habit. Scoring some coke requires a dealer. Cookies, donuts, and bread are literally everywhere.
On this week’s episode of UW Radio, Dr. Vera Tarman, M.D. showed us just how real food addiction really is.
There’s a reason why so many of us just can’t so no to sugar, why we can’t stick to our diets no matter how hard we try, and why a great proportion of the 60,000 thoughts we have every day have to do with food.
There’s a good chance that these behaviors are all in your head.
Your brain, that is.
It’s been hijacked.
As I prepared for my broadcast with Dr. Tarman, I became familiar with a simplified version of how this hijacking takes place. Check it out…
