Mark Sisson and Doug McGuff MD Interviewed by Dr. Mercola

by on 16. Dec, 2011 in Exercise, Interviews, Nutrition

 

 
As you might guess, both are great. I’ve since invited Dr. Mercola to The 21 Convention. While I was not able to get in touch with him directly, I did get in contact with his press agent. Highly interested at first due to both Mark and Doug being alumni speakers, but lost interest when he found out there was not going to be ~500 people at the event. This is highly irrelevant long term due to the high quality video production + online video distribution, but this is almost impossible to explain to people not intimately familiar with web video.

It’s tantamount to explaining how detrimental minimum wage laws are to the poor, or explaining why corporate tax is an illusion to an OWS protester. I may or may not try to get in contact with Dr. Mercola directly, who I think would be a great speaker. I especially like how much he hates — and rightfully so — the FDA.

T21C Fan Drops 31 Lbs, Improves Health, Changes Life

T21C Fan Drops 31 Lbs, Improves Health, Changes Life

by on 16. Oct, 2011 in Nutrition, Reviews, The 21 Convention

24 years.

That’s how long it took me to get my shit together, health-wise. I’m still working on the other parts of my life but I feel like I’ve finally got my health under control.

I’ve always been a chubby kid, even in high school when I was a star lacrosse player, I was never really a great athlete. But I was active enough that I could get by with eating complete garbage every day.

I look at my photos from my junior and senior year in high school and you can tell I gained about 10-15lbs. Once I hit college and stopped playing sports I really took off. I went from being 5’8″ and 190lbs, steadily climbing until I just recently hit my highest weight ever of 270.

As with most gradual changes, I never really noticed it. I knew I was getting bigger and buying bigger clothes, but hell, there was nothing I could do.

I got serious about my health two years ago and started…

Are You Attending Primal Con?

Are You Attending Primal Con?

by on 10. Apr, 2011 in Meeting Cool People

While a bit short notice, Mark Sisson’s “Primal Con” is this coming weekend in California. Should you go? Yes, I think so. I would myself to if the dates were not so close to my departure for Europe.

Why should you go?

Because the event is going to rock. While Mark does not fancy himself an event architect,  he is a man of integrity, and he does understand the meaning of proper form and function, applied to physical reality.

I like to apply this to events and videos. Mark prefers a blog and written work. While different in apperance and structure, the foundations of epic bad-assness are the same, and Primal Con has just that, like everything else Mark does.

From what I do understand and remember from talking in person with Mark, the event really does provide a tremendous bang for the buck, in terms of the total experience (activities, knowledge, and meeting others with shared interests and values), and apparently, a crap ton…

The World Champion of Proper Nutrition Has Arrived: Mark Sisson at The 21 Convention 2010

The World Champion of Proper Nutrition Has Arrived: Mark Sisson at The 21 Convention 2010

by on 04. Apr, 2011 in Nutrition, The 21 Convention

  • The World Champion of Proper Nutrition and Healthy Living.
  • The World’s Top Authority on Diet and Health.
  • The Spearhead of the Paleospehre.
  • The “Primal Tycoon”.
  • The man taking on the world — and winning.

Mark Sisson gave an epochal speech at The 21 Convention 2010 of Orlando Florida, rivaled only by Dr. Doug McGuff by my judgement. I suggest you watch it, now, and share it with as many people as humanly possible — and then some more.

And then fall asleep. Wake up. And share it some more.

This video really is that incredible. And while Mark is a man of absolute integrity, and unrivaled strength in his self-generated Primal movement, he will benefit from all the support he can get.

Mark is the fountainhead. He is the key to taking rational nutrition advice to a level never before seen, but that doesn’t mean he can do it alone…

So share the fucking shit out of this video — for your own sake – and…

Great Men of Our Time (Part 1)

Great Men of Our Time (Part 1)

by on 05. Aug, 2010 in Exercise, Independent Thinking, Meeting Cool People, Nutrition, The 21 Convention

It’s been said that there are three types of men in this world – men who wish to rule over others, men who seek to obey, and men who pursue freedom, independence, and their own visions and dreams with unmeasurable vigor.

The third type of man – the passionate men who shape the world we live in, the men who live their lives as they see fit (without intruding on the right of others to do the same), and accomplish great things in the face of all odds (often to our benefit) – is an increasingly rare breed.

Yet, not all hope is lost, as those men do indeed still exist. In fact, you are looking at three of them above as you read.

Pictured from left to right are Doug McGuff MD, Mark Sisson, and Bill DeSimone – men who’s work I was very familiar with and had a lot of respect for, before meeting them just this past July at The 21 Convention 2010 of Orlando…
