This will be a short post, but I promise to update after my exper­i­ment is over. I’ve said it before but Paleo is so much more than just what we put in our bel­lies. The tox­ins in lotions, sham­poos, and deodor­ants are also respon­si­ble for wreak­ing havoc on our bod­ies (go ahead; Google it!). So as part of our Paleo lifestyle, I am on a mis­sion to find a safe way of cur­tail­ing body order. And I think I have the answer, or two.

It’s easy to assume that this is a tem­po­rary fix to a long term prob­lem, but the fact is that it works. The sci­ence behind it works because it’s a sim­ple process of remov­ing harm­ful chem­i­cals and foods from our diets and eat­ing food the way Mother Nature intended it to be eaten.
