Podcast 273:
Confessions of a Health Blogger
I have a confession.
No, it’s not quite the worst thing in the world. But as a health blogger and podcaster, it’s certainly not one of my prouder moments.
I’d let myself go.
I can make all the excuses in the world — the holidays, football weekends with the guys, the stress of buying my first home, whatever.
The truth is that I had simply fallen off the wagon.
I’m human.
When it came time to start filming for The Thyroid Sessions, I took a look at myself in the mirror and freaked out.
My face was bloated. My belly was pushing through my t-shirt. And I discovered these “rolly things” growing just outside of my lower back.
When the first edits for my Thyroid interviews came back, I was pretty disgusted to witness what I had done to myself.
Even worse, I was left to wonder if any viewers would notice that the typically lean Underground Wellness guy had become a chunkier version of himself.
Motivated to whip myself back into shape like never before, I got back to JERFing (Just Eating Real Food), hit the gym, and actually started using the yoga membership I had been paying for.
Yoga made a huge difference. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, I made sure I was in Marisa P’s introductory hot yoga class.
Podcast 271:
The Paleo Kitchen
“Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first.”
Seldom does a day go by that I don’t remind myself of those wise words imparted by farmer Joel Salatin on our podcast in 2012.
Human beings have the tendency to expect greatness on their first attempt at something new.
Then, when faced with the reality of false, unmet expectations, we abandon everything we know about “trial and error” and “practice making perfect”.
Mr. Salatin’s words are applicable to every aspect of our lives — love, work, friendships, etc. — but the kitchen is where we tend to take our failures most personally.
I’m sure Julia Child burned her first cake, but that didn’t stop her from trying again.
And my first attempt at preparing pork belly didn’t turn out perfectly last week (learn more below), but last night’s attempt was about five-percent better.
I’ll keep trying, because learning how to cook my own delicious meals is certainly worth doing.
Last Thursday, George Bryant and Juli Bauer — co-authors of The Paleo Kitchen — stopped by the podcast to share why you don’t have to be born wearing over mitts to become an incredible cook.

Podcast 228: How to Upgrade Your Memory…Kwikly!
by Sean Croxton
What if you could remember and recite a list of twenty random words immediately after hearing them?
Not just the words themselves, but you can recall them in exact order — 1 through 20.
And that’s not all….
The words are given to you out of order!
For example, 10 is thyroid, 2 is turmeric, 15 is liver, 17 is autoimmunity, and so on.
Would be pretty cool, huh?
If I had to guess, I’d say that you highly doubt you could pull something like this off.
But what if I were to tell you that you can learn how to do it in just 10-15 minutes? You’ll even do it backwards. No kidding!
Imagine how much more information you’d be able to retain if you actually…well, learned how to learn.
Last night on Underground Wellness Radio, our friend Jim Kwik stopped by to share a handful of effective and useful strategies for upgrading your memory — the sun list, the vowel technique, and the hook method.
Gosh, I wish I would have learned this stuff back in grade school…
It would have made life so much easier.
But hey, it’s never to late to learn how to learn.
