At this year\u2019s Paleo F(x) conference in Austin, we had a chance to interview one of the primary spokespeople for the Paleo movement, Mark Sisson. You know him from Mark\u2019s Daily Apple, his website and blog dedicated to \u201cprimal living in the modern world.\u201d A true Paleo hipster, Mark has been preaching the primal diet gospel since before it was cool.
Mark\u2019s interest in primal living can be traced back to college, where he became really interested in evolution and human DNA. He later worked as the anti-doping commissioner for the sport of triathlon worldwide. As the guy who oversaw every hearing, he learned a ton\u2013\u2013not just about the off-limits performance-enhancing drugs, but about the healthy supplements and eating styles competitive athletes and little old ladies alike can use to reach their full potential.
These two threads of experience set Mark up for a career in discovering the health lessons of our ancient ancestors and applying them to our daily lives. In particular, he\u2019s developed interest in how we can \u201cturn on\u201d certain strands of our DNA in order to live the best we can.
Twenty-one years ago, Mark started his own supplement company, all while he was married with two kids, and no money in the bank. Today, in addition to his nutritional supplement line and his best-selling books, Mark\u2019s Primal Kitchen brand will keep you from having to eat gross mayonnaise. Mark\u2019s newest book, The Primal Kitchen Cookbook: Eat Like Your Life Depends on It!\xa0is hot off the presses. He told us he refuses to eat a single bite of food that isn\u2019t delicious, so this is a good guide to check out.\xa0
