Be Your Own Batman on PaleoJay's Smoothie Cafe podcast

I know- this sounds like an extremely unlikely focus for a paleo podcast: you know, eating and living in accordance with our genetic programming, living ancestrally in the manner (as much as possible) in which we evolved.  But bear with me…

Aside from eating ancestrally (no grains, or at least very little and properly prepared ones like with sour dough ala Weston A. Price), adequate pastured meats, eggs, and dairy along with plenty of vegetables and some fruits like berries or citrus, and sweetening with raw honey and maple syrup- we also need to live according to ancestral principals.  

Ancient, paleolithic peoples lived in tribes.  Such a grouping of people is the healthiest, most natural way for humans to not only survive, but to thrive!  We always focus on the survival, and mostly the health related bits of the paleo lifestyle.  Like, what can we do to maximize our healthiness and fitness- Perfectly Paleo Exercise, utilizing things like virtual resistance, stretching, walking and running barefoot, and living in contact with the natural world as much as possible.  I mean, my podcast and all the other paleo podcasts and written materials go into great detail about all of these things.  

But the most important thing of all to paleo people was The Grand Narrative!

This is the story, the story of the people of the tribe.  Think of important stories, like The Odyssey, and Beowulf!  Those are wonderful classical examples, but I guarantee you that each and every successful paleolithic tribe had important stories about the heroes of their own tribe that were chanted about the campfires of an evening, pointing out the rare greatness and heroism of their own people!  Such stories energized the folk to aspire to greatness, to sacrifice and to aspire to be a mighty warrior, or a beautiful woman with a loving family, or to the elder who counciled with hard-won wisdom both war strategies and planning for the future by provisioning the tribe for a harsh winter…

Without such a narrative, people are left rudderless; unable to see a purpose to their survival!  But, with a good narrative, a reason to work, and to strive- not only for oneself, or even for the good of your own immediate family- but for the good of the tribe and God himself:  this is what truly inspires an individual to greatness.  

My 4 year old grandson stayed with us for a couple of days this week.  He idolizes Batman, and I get it- Batman to him is Odysseus!  A great hero, someone with great strength and power, who works tirelessly for the overall good- someone to emulate!  I don’t think he could do much better, really.  We naturally figure such things out, if not misled, at the ripe old age of FOUR.

Think of modern, Neolithic, non paleo people.  Those who live in cities and suburbs, buying into the modern tropes and misinformation of our times:  They are not concerned with timeless values and the goals of Living Well, Being Good, Protecting Our Tribe from Evil, etc. Etc. 

No, modern ultracivilized and brainwashed people, cut off from nature, focus on what they have been Misled to Believe by the very enemies of their natural tribe:

Climate Change Bad!

Orange Man Bad!

Borders Bad!

All Food Same- Health Only From Doctors and Drugs!

Not Arrest Criminals- No Fair!!

And the worst of all: Our Tribe Bad!  Tribe Privilege!!

See the utter nonsense, the brainwashing here?  The lack of a people’s grand narrative that would, in contrast, display the utter idiocy of such fake thinking??

A Paleolithic tribal person would instantly see the insanity, the evil of such a fake narrative, obviously concocted by an enemy of the tribe.  They would remember Achilles, and Hercules, and other great men of their tribe and culture, and know that now they were needed to fight such villainy!  

And so can we, paleo people of today, see the nonsense and the evil here.  But who is the modern hero we can identify with??

Well, just like a 4 year old, we can try to be like the BATMAN!

He is just like an ancient Paleo, or early civilization hero- 

He fights for the right, when even the rulers will not.  He is strong and valiant, courageous and mighty.  He protects the downtrodden, whether oppressed by the corrupt rulers, or the criminals within society that are not being punished as they should be by the rulers!  

HE IS THE CONSCIENCE OF THE TRIBE and its right arm!!  

We don’t just build our bodily health and strength for ourselves, that would be fruitless.  We build our health and fitness for the Great Narrative- we build it to protect, regenerate, and enforce the great ideas and goals of our tribe.  Our elders, our children, and all of us together.

We build the strength and wellness of ourselves and as much as we can of our entire tribe-

And then, we do not hesitate to use it to protect us from invaders

Both from within and without.

Those that try to destroy the tenets and ideals of our tribe,

Or to commit crimes!

BOTH are anti-tribal values, and need to be stamped out.

So- BE YOUR OWN BATMAN!

Paleo Quick Tip of the Day #99 How to Go Paleo and Thrive!

Thrive Market is an online wholesale buying club- kind of like Amazon Prime meets Sam’s Club or Costco, only healthier and better. Organic, real food products at true wholesale prices!

You sign up at the link here-

http://go.thrv.me/aff_c?offer_id=6&aff_id=8570

You sign up for free with a 30 day trial, with 25% off of your first order- this is in addition to the already low prices, which are already 25-50% off of retail!

Any time during the 30 days, you can “become a thriver” by buying a membership for $5 per month, or $60 per year.  The average to pay this off in savings is in just two orders!

And best of all, this membership into top quality, paleo types of foods is shipped directly to your door, in amazing condition because they pack it so well, post paid for any order over $49.95! 

In addition, for every purchased membership, Thrive gives away a membership to a food-insecure family from a neighborhood without access to wholesome, organic foods. 

pqtd 99 Go Paleo and Thrive

This segues into my previous statement very well indeed!  The number one thing you need to do to achieve everlasting health and wellness, fitness and leanness, is to only eat wonderful, nutritious, nature and God made foods!  That is rule #1 of Paleo Land!!

So, if you get a trial to Thrive market by clicking on the link at www.paleojay.com, you can immediately start on the yellow brick road path to health by making an order on line  with no membership fee for the first month, AND a 15% discount on your first order!! 

This is on top of the already wholesale prices at Thrive of 25- 50% off!  So, this should get you motivated to change your lifestyle to that of an ancestral one- clean out your cupboards of all the boxed and crappy processed wheat and soy crapola; the pancake mixes, the flour, the sugar, the bread and cakes, candies and pies...

Throw that stuff in the garbage- it is not fit for consumption!  Don’t give it to the homeless shelter, or a pet, or even wild animals- well, I guess wild animals are ok, since birds can digest grains... just don’t give it to mammals!! 

OK, now you have a pristine kitchen, just waiting for REAL FOOD to arrive!  Make your order- make sure it is over $50.00, and there will be no shipping cost!   (Don’t forget you also get 15% off of the already 25-50% off, so this should be a BIG, and INEXPENSIVE order for all that you will get).  And, all of Thrive’s stuff is TOP QUALITY PALEO FRIENDLY!

Oh, don’t forget to throw out your toxic cleaning products as well, and your sodium lauryl sulphate laden soaps, shampoos, mouthwashes and toothpaste-  this mean they are loaded with chemical, petroleum derived industrial cleaners instead of good natural SOAP!  Also, commercial toothpastes are nightmares that are loaded with toxic fluoride, and again, sodium laurly sulphate that makes it lather up real nice, giving the ILLUSION that it is cleaning your teeth.  It’s NOT.  Also, the glycerine in these standard toothpastes will prevent your teeth from “remineralizing”; that is, keep them from repairing themselves- did you know that teeth can actually put minerals back onto your teeth that have eroded, just as it rebuilds muscles you have broken down through the damage of exercise, making them stronger?? 

It can, if you keep that damn glycerine in standard toothpastes AWAY from your teeth!

So, make your big, initial order with Thrive market- tell them PaleoJay sent you- and you will also get a free jar of raw, unstrained honey!  Raw honey is really healthy, my healthy paleo friend who has a super clean, health promoting pantry and kitchen enroute to them via Thrive...

There is even a header bar where you can click:

SHOP BY PALEO- all of your selections will be filtered to the Paleo lifestyle!!

You don’t have to drive anywhere.  You don’t have to put gas in your vehicle.  That’s all paid for you- AND you are getting a huge discount on top of it all- no hassle, no trouble- just browse online at thrive and place your money and health saving order! 

When the “green”, impressive package arrives, if you are like me, it will be like Christmas!  (Actually, at this time of year, it WILL LITERALLY BE CHRISTMAS!!) 

You will love putting these healthy substitutes into your cupboards in place of all the CRAP that used to be there!

Some ideas?  Coconut oil (Thrive has their own, at 47% off retail!), vitamin D, real soaps and shampoos, sea salt and baking soda (the perfect toothpaste!), tea tree oil (1/2 price on Thrive!),  Bragg’s Apple cider vinegar (34% off), real salad dressings with real oils (not soy oil BS!) for substantial discounts, wonderful mayonnaise with avocado oil instead of soy,pqte almond flour, tapioca flour which makes a wonderful pizza crust!, and coconut flour all at substantial discounts to what you’d pay in a store...

And all so convenient and easy.  So healthy, and all with the ability to utterly transform your life and health for the better!  And CHEAPLY- did I mention THAT??

This really is a deal-changer.  Take back your life and health, get the body you have always wanted, easily and without having to drive here and there, searching for what you need, all at high prices. 

Just click here, and get started:
