For some, it’s a foggy mind, restlessness, or even a shift in mood. Many have been taught to override or ignore hunger cues, and to trust food “rules” more than our own bodies.

But hunger is a biological signal, and learning to recognize it again is a great first step back to body literacy.

If you’re paying attention to what’s in your food, it’s worth asking what fed it.

The nutrients in your meat reflect the life the animal lived—what it grazed on, how it moved, and the health of the land it came from. That’s the difference with regenerative meat.

This article goes deeper into how grazing practices shape the quality of the meat we eat—and why it matters more than the label on the package.

The nutritional value of regeneratively raised meat isn’t stamped on a label. It’s where the animal grazed, how it lived, and even its breed.

Unlike the rigid frameworks that often dominate wellness culture, body literacy acknowledges that you are the ultimate authority on your own physiological experience; and hearing, interpreting, and harnessing your body’s wisdom is an essential tool in achieving lasting wellness.

Unlike the rigid frameworks often dominating diet culture, body literacy supports you as the ultimate authority on your own physiology.

Grilled pineapple + salsa verde = a dip we did not gatekeep.

Sweet, smoky, tangy, herby—this one’s good on everything: grilled meats, veggies, or just a spoon. Bonus: it’s Paleo, so your dairy-free and gluten-free friends can dip with you.

Scroll to the end to see our toughest critic… who may or may not be eyeing the bowl like it owes him rent. (And yes, this recipe is not safe for animals, so don’t feed this to your furry pal. Keep it all to yourself and your human friends).

Recipe’s up now at thepaleodiet.com.

Misinformation in nutrition often hides behind borrowed science. Even within the Paleo community, well-known figures misstate the evidence or leave out the full picture.

We take our role seriously as the original source of this movement. Accuracy isn’t optional.

A few things this article covers:
• “Toxins” is not a diagnosis (it’s usually a sales pitch)
• Real science includes mechanisms, context, and citations
• Red flags: no sources, no citations, just “a study showed”
• Watch for claims based on rodent studies that aren’t relevant to humans
• Buzzwords like “inflammation” and “balance hormones” are often used without measurable definitions
• Referencing ancestral health isn’t enough—evidence needs context, not just inspiration

We built this framework to be useful rather than trendy. Follow us if you’re here for the substance.

Meal planning is constant.
You’re tracking what’s in the fridge, what still needs to be bought, who’s refusing broccoli this week, and how many nights in a row you’ve cooked. It builds up fast.

These six shifts reduce the mental work.
Each one gives you a way to share responsibility, simplify decision-making, or stop doing it all from scratch.

Swipe through. Pick one to try. Share it with someone who could take a piece of it with you.

INGREDIENTS IN PLAIN SIGHT.
This DIY Mosquito Repellent Candle is one of our favorite summer table centerpieces—and you can see exactly what goes into it. No mystery ingredients, no synthetic fragrances.

✨ Eucalyptus stems
✨ Rosemary sprigs
✨ Filtered water
✨ Tea tree essential oil
✨ Peppermint essential oil
✨ Unscented floating tea light

Current research suggests that essential oils like tea tree and peppermint may help deter mosquitoes when used properly in outdoor settings. (We shared some of the latest studies in the full article - check it out at thepaleodiet.com!)

IMPORTANT: Always burn candles safely:
✅ Use in a well-ventilated outdoor area
✅ Never leave a burning candle unattended
✅ Do not exceed recommended essential oil amounts
✅ Ensure water level stays above herbs and oils

Sometimes simple really is better—for your table, your home, and your health.

We met the team from Origin Provisions at a meat conference. What started as a casual conversation turned into something meaningful. The more we talked, the more we saw alignment in how we think about food, health, and trust.

They’re building a regenerative meat company that puts quality first. Their approach is nutrient-dense, fully traceable, and designed to support both producers and everyday shoppers.

We’re working on a full article, but we didn’t want to wait to share this. Some stories are worth telling early.
