About this listen

Combining modern genetic science and evolutionary biology, The Primal Blueprint dispels a number of the myths that modern medicine and conventional wisdom have come to accept as fact. Author Mark Sisson takes the listener on a fascinating journey through human evolution, comparing the life and robust health of our hunter-gatherer ancestors with a day in the life of a modern family - exposing potential health issues that arise from trying to do the right things living in the 21st century.

Sisson offers a solution in 10 empowering "Blueprint Lifestyle Laws" that can help us reprogram our genes away from disease and pain towards a direction of effortless weight loss, vibrant health and boundless energy. The listener learns how the right high-fat diet can actually help one lose weight; how popular low-fat, grain-based diets might trigger illness, disease, and lifelong weight gain; why doing too much cardio exercise might actually suppress the immune system and how some of today's most common medications might make a health condition even worse.

A great read - ideal for anyone looking to find out what going 'primal' involves - it's a lifestyle not just a style of eating!

Primal intro

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Every time I get determined to lose weight I follow the same routine with success. When talking about my methods with friends. My brother told me that what I was actually doing was akin to the Paleo diet.

The book is short, well informed and full of uncomplicated scientific breakdowns so people with no prior knowledge of science or nutrition can understand them.

If I had to criticise, I would argue that it is not long enough! Another slight criticism is where the author offers a relatively subjective argument against a critic who argues (wrongly) that the paleo diet is elitist and expensive... For instance one could afford to cook these types of food in a slow cooker in bulk with little effort, minimising the cost to the consumer.

This book has provided me with an explanation of how I am able to shed weight, gain muscle and feel better so exponentially, when I try to lose weight.
