Why Following Paleo Pages on Facebook Matters

If you’ve been on a health journey for a while, you’ll know that mindset and consistency are everything. And when it comes to staying inspired, nothing beats being part of an active community. Facebook may not be the new kid on the block anymore, but it remains one of the best platforms for connection, discovery, and day-to-day motivation – especially for niche topics like Paleo.

Following a well-curated Paleo page on Facebook (like The Paleo Network!) helps you stay on track in more ways than one:

  • Daily reminders of why you started your Paleo journey
  • New recipes to keep your meals interesting and enjoyable
  • Motivational posts when your willpower is running low
  • Community discussions where you can ask questions or help others
  • Breaking news about food industry updates, legislation, or scientific findings
  • Tips and tricks for eating Paleo in a modern world full of temptations

In short, it’s like having a digital accountability buddy that you don’t even have to message.

What You'll Find on The Paleo Network Facebook Page

The Paleo Network Facebook page is a unique resource that blends inspiration with information. Here's the kind of content followers enjoy:

🥑 Paleo Recipes That Actually Work

From quick lunches and slow-cooked dinners to decadent Paleo desserts, you'll find a wide variety of dishes that are 100% grain-free, dairy-free, and delicious. Our posts often include reader-tested tweaks and photo results, so you can get ideas, suggestions, and confidence before trying something new.

🧠 Thought-Provoking Health Insights

Ever read an article and thought, “Why didn’t anyone teach me this at school?” That’s the kind of content we aim to share. From hormone health and gut microbiome studies to myth-busting diet fads, we link to valuable content from across the Paleo community and trusted experts in ancestral health.

🧘 Motivation & Real Talk

Let’s be honest: not every day is easy. That’s why we mix it up with encouraging quotes, gentle reminders to stay kind to yourself, and some humorous takes on the not-so-glamorous side of living a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes all you need to stay on track is a single sentence that resonates.

🌍 Local Australian Paleo Finds

Live in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or a regional town in between? Followers often tag us with amazing new Paleo-friendly discoveries in their local supermarkets, cafes, or markets. These insider tips are gold – especially if you're trying to stay healthy without ordering every ingredient online.

Why Facebook Still Works for Niche Communities

Some people have written off Facebook as a platform for older generations or political rants. But for health-conscious niches like Paleo, it remains one of the most effective tools for connection. Why?

  • Groups & Pages build micro-communities around specific goals.
  • Long-form engagement is encouraged (unlike the rapid scroll of Instagram).
  • Event planning is easy, whether you’re attending a local Paleo meetup or Zoom-based workshop.
  • It integrates with everything, from email newsletters to blog posts, allowing you to stay connected across platforms.

You may follow Paleo creators on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok – but Facebook is where the conversations actually happen.

Be Part of a Bigger Paleo Community

One of the great things about the Paleo Network Facebook page is that it's not just about reading – it’s about engaging. Here are just some of the ways you can participate:

  • Comment on recipe threads and see how others tweak ingredients.
  • Share your own meal photos – people love to see how real-life Paleo looks.
  • Join conversations about food politics, ancestral practices, or food intolerances.
  • Help a beginner out by answering their questions with kindness and experience.
  • Tag friends and family who might benefit from a Paleo way of eating.

Being part of something bigger than yourself adds a level of accountability that you just can’t get from silently reading blogs.

What Our Followers Say

We often hear feedback like:

“I wasn’t sure about going Paleo, but seeing the community here made me feel less alone.”

“Thanks to your page I discovered so many Aussie brands I wouldn’t have known about!”

“Your coconut flour pancake recipe literally changed my weekends!”

Sexy back summit sean croxton underground wellness

What You’ll Learn at the SexyBack Summit

If you enjoyed the Paleo Summit, or last year's Real Food Summit, you’ll be excited to hear about this year’s summit. This year, it’s all about natural sexual health, with Sean Croxton’s FREE SexyBack Summit!

SexyBack Summit

Instead of solving problems with pills, the SexyBack summit is going to explore natural ways of solving sexual health related issues. For women, issues like PMS, frequent UTIs, yeast infections, fertility, or even a non-existent libido will be addresses – and for men low testosterone, high estrogen, E.D. and a dwindling sex drive will be explored. Balancing hormones, nutrition and fitness are all going to be covered. As people are reluctant to talk about a lot of these issues, they don’t seek help and let these issues remain needlessly. Well, not anymore!

If you missed out on last year’s presentations, here’s how the summit works… Sean has put together 24 presentations (videos you can watch at home, with slideshows). The talks are hosted by all different experts, including by Chris Kresser, Dr. Sara Gottfried, Paul Check, Jane Bennett, Dave Asprey, Alisa Vitti, Elliot Hulse and Dr. Jen Landa. From the first day of the summit on the 19th of May, until the last day on the 26th of May, there will be three to four new videos everyday. The videos are free for you to watch for 24 hours, before they’re replaced with the next days scheduled videos. So you can watch the entire event – and all 24 presentations – completely free of charge!

If you want to reserve your free spot on the SexyBack summit, just click here to register! You’ll also get access to some (free) advanced videos that are showing now.

Why Sexual Health Deserves a Natural Approach

Sexual health is often treated as a taboo topic, yet it plays a vital role in our overall wellbeing. When hormones are imbalanced, or stress levels are high, libido and fertility are often the first things to suffer. While mainstream solutions tend to involve pharmaceutical interventions, the SexyBack Summit shines a light on more natural, sustainable ways to restore sexual vitality for both men and women. And it's about more than just intimacy — it's about energy, confidence, sleep, hormonal harmony, and long-term reproductive health.

Modern life places heavy demands on our bodies. Poor food choices, lack of sleep, overtraining, and environmental toxins all contribute to hormonal disruption. When you pair that with the tendency to avoid talking about sexual concerns, it’s easy to see why so many people suffer in silence. The SexyBack Summit creates a safe and empowering space to change that narrative.

What You’ll Learn at the SexyBack Summit

This summit covers a wide range of topics that address the root causes of sexual health challenges. With a line-up of respected speakers from integrative health, fitness, and nutritional backgrounds, the event is packed with actionable, real-world advice. Some of the key themes include:

  • How nutrition directly impacts testosterone, estrogen, and libido
  • Natural strategies for overcoming PMS, PCOS, and fertility struggles
  • How chronic stress and cortisol imbalances undermine sexual health
  • The link between gut health, inflammation, and hormone disruption
  • Safe biohacking tools to support natural libido and vitality
  • Fitness strategies that boost sexual performance without exhausting your body

Unlike the quick fixes promoted by the pharmaceutical industry, these sessions are focused on root-cause solutions — which is exactly what Paleo and ancestral health are all about.

Expert Speakers Bringing the Science to Life

The summit features some of the most forward-thinking names in the health world. Whether you're familiar with the presenters or just getting started, you're sure to gain new insights from their personal approaches and practical tips.

  • Chris Kresser: Brings his deep expertise in functional medicine to explore the nutritional roots of hormone imbalances.
  • Dr. Sara Gottfried: A Harvard-trained gynaecologist who offers a holistic approach to female hormones and libido.
  • Dave Asprey: Known for his work in performance and biohacking, he shares tools for boosting energy, drive, and focus naturally.
  • Paul Chek: An expert in integrative health and movement, offering insights on how physical strength and mental clarity impact sexuality.
  • Alisa Vitti: Author of “WomanCode”, discussing practical ways to sync your diet and exercise with your menstrual cycle for better energy and libido.

Whether you're interested in the science of hormones, the psychology of intimacy, or the physical practices that support a thriving sex life, there’s a session designed to meet you where you’re at.

Designed for Both Men and Women

Many events on sexual health are gender-specific, but the SexyBack Summit takes a refreshing, inclusive approach. While some talks are tailored specifically for men or women, the underlying principles of hormone regulation, stress resilience, and real-food nutrition apply universally.

For women, topics like oestrogen dominance, adrenal fatigue, and cyclical energy patterns are explained with practical tips for reclaiming vitality. For men, there are powerful insights into optimising testosterone, improving cardiovascular fitness, and managing modern-day stress without burning out.

How the Summit Format Works

The summit runs from the 19th to the 26th of May. Each day, three to four expert-led video presentations will be released. You’ll have a full 24 hours to view each session for free before the next set of videos becomes available. This rolling schedule ensures you’re never overwhelmed, and you can absorb the content at your own pace, from the comfort of home.

There’s also a library of bonus preview videos available right now when you register, so you can start diving into the content even before the summit officially begins.

Why This Matters for the Paleo Community

The principles of Paleo — ancestral health, clean nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management — are all deeply intertwined with sexual wellbeing. When you nourish your body with whole foods, balance your circadian rhythms, and move intentionally, hormone function improves. The SexyBack Summit reinforces and expands on these ideas, helping attendees refine their approach for optimal hormonal health.

Whether you’re dealing with specific symptoms or just curious about optimising your energy and wellbeing, this summit is a natural extension of the Paleo lifestyle. It’s empowering, evidence-based, and designed to spark conversations about topics that too often stay hidden.

It’s Free — But Only for a Limited Time

Because the summit is free to attend in real time, it’s worth registering even if you’re not sure how many sessions you’ll get to. You can watch as many or as few as you like each day — and if a particular topic resonates with you, you’ll have the option to purchase lifetime access later on. But the best value is to watch as much as you can during the free window.

Whether you’re tuning in to better understand your hormones, support a partner, or simply take proactive steps towards better health, the SexyBack Summit is an invaluable resource. There’s never been a better time to learn, explore, and reconnect — naturally.

Secure Your Free Spot Now

Which Paleo Event Are You Going To Next?

Having been to many Paleo events, and being involved in some of the Paleo meetup groups, I highly recommend putting some events into your calendar!

When you eat differently to your friends and family, an evening out with like minded people can make all the difference in terms of encouragement and support. I also find local events are the best way to find out about places to eat – and where other locals buy their Paleo supplies from.

Head over to the brand new What's On page, where you'll find all of the Paleo events going on where you live – and around the World. Some events are definitely worth travelling for!

The best way to attend Paleo events is to sign up to a meetup group in your area. If there isn't a meetup group yet, then it's easy to create your own (and if you do, please come back and tell me about it, so I can add your events to the Paleo calendar!)

There are so many events scheduled now. From big, formal conferences, lectures and symposiums – to small casual after work dinners, in local Paleo friendly restaurants, there is something for everyone. Our local Sydney Paleo meetup group has organised barbecues, picnics, pot lucks and dinners. The Melbourne group have regular classes to teach you how to make your owned fermented foods. As Paleo continues to get more and more popular, we should see even more Paleo events in the calendar.

The Paleo Calendar features all of the events in Australia (there are now ten Paleo meet-up groups in the country, at least one in every state!), New Zealand (Auckland and Wellington), the UK (London, Birmingham & Milton Keynes), Canada (Toronto) and of course America (there are LOTS of events and meetup groups in the USA!). If I'm missing your event or meetup group, please let me know!

Are you a member of a Paleo meetup group? What type of Paleo events would you like to attend – and which events have you been to so far?

Why Attending Paleo Events Is So Valuable

It’s one thing to follow a Paleo lifestyle on your own — but connecting with others who share your passion for real food and optimal health can take your commitment to the next level. Whether you're new to Paleo or a seasoned ancestral eater, surrounding yourself with like-minded people can offer fresh ideas, renewed motivation, and a real sense of community that simply can’t be replicated online.

At in-person events, you’ll find people who understand your perspective, share tips and stories, and offer practical support. If you’re feeling isolated or challenged by unsupportive friends or family, even a short evening meetup can be just what you need to feel re-energised and inspired.

The Types of Paleo Events to Look Out For

The Paleo calendar is packed with an incredible variety of events to suit every interest and schedule. Here are some of the most popular formats:

  • Picnics and Potlucks: A relaxed, social setting where everyone brings a Paleo-friendly dish to share. It’s a fantastic way to discover new recipes and try dishes you might not cook yourself.
  • Cooking Workshops: Learn practical skills like fermenting, batch cooking, bone broth preparation, and Paleo baking. These are especially popular in cities like Melbourne and Auckland.
  • Dinner Meetups: Meet after work at a local Paleo-friendly restaurant to chat and connect. Many groups choose venues that are willing to adapt to dietary needs.
  • Guest Speakers and Seminars: Learn from experts in the fields of nutrition, movement, stress, and ancestral health. These events often attract larger crowds and offer opportunities for Q&A and networking.
  • Fitness-Focused Events: CrossFit throwdowns, nature hikes, yoga in the park — it’s not all about food! Movement is a key part of Paleo, and some groups combine workouts with shared meals or recovery activities.

Travel-Worthy Paleo Conferences

Some Paleo events are so content-rich and well-produced that they’re worth travelling for. Annual conferences often bring together top names in the ancestral health world for several days of presentations, panel discussions, cooking demos, and social events. Previous conferences have featured talks from leading experts on topics like gut health, autoimmune recovery, evolutionary fitness, fasting, and hormone optimisation.

Attending one of these larger events gives you the chance to meet Paleo advocates from around the world, browse natural product stalls, and participate in immersive learning experiences. If you’ve been craving deeper knowledge or want to broaden your perspective, these conferences deliver real value.

Making the Most of Your Local Paleo Community

If you're lucky enough to have a meetup group nearby, make the effort to attend a few events — especially the casual ones. You’ll likely find that everyone is welcoming, whether you’ve been Paleo for years or just started eliminating gluten last week. These events aren't about perfection; they’re about shared goals, good food, and encouragement.

Don’t hesitate to bring a friend or partner, even if they don’t follow a Paleo diet. Many people become curious (and supportive!) after attending a single event and tasting how good real food can be. Plus, it can help bridge the gap between your lifestyle and your social circle.

Starting a Paleo Meetup Group in Your Area

No meetup group in your town yet? Why not be the one to start it? It’s easier than you might think. Begin by creating a group on Meetup.com, Facebook, or even through your local community centre or gym. Start small — a coffee catch-up or weekend walk — and see where it leads.

People are often just waiting for someone else to make the first move. Once word spreads, you may be surprised by how many others are eager to connect and contribute. If you do launch a new group, be sure to let me know so I can add your events to the Paleo calendar and help you attract more members.

Tips for Hosting a Successful Paleo Event

If you’re organising an event — whether it’s your first or your fiftieth — here are a few ideas to make it a hit:

  • Choose a theme: A specific focus (like gut health, fermented foods, or primal movement) makes events more engaging and educational.
  • Create a welcome space: Make sure new attendees feel included. Nametags, introductions, and icebreakers can help ease nerves.
  • Ask for input: Let your members suggest topics, venues, or formats. The more involved people feel, the more likely they are to show up and contribute.
  • Use social media: Share photos, success stories, and upcoming event details to create excitement and grow your community.
  • Keep it simple: You don’t need to plan a full-on seminar every time. A walk, a meal, or a coffee meet-up is enough to bring people together.

Why Paleo Events Are More Important Than Ever

In a world that often normalises fast food, sedentary routines, and chronic stress, connecting with others who value a different way of living is deeply motivating. These events offer more than just conversation and recipes — they reinforce the belief that health, vitality, and real food are worth prioritising.

Whether you attend a casual beach picnic, join a local kombucha brewing workshop, or fly interstate for a weekend conference, every event helps expand the Paleo movement — and makes this way of living more visible, accessible, and supportive for others on the path.

What’s Coming Up Near You?

Head over to the What’s On page now to see what’s happening near you — or wherever your next trip takes you. With events listed across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, and the USA, you’ll always find something exciting on the horizon.

And remember: Paleo isn’t just about what’s on your plate. It’s about connection, community, and building a life that supports true wellness. So go ahead — block out a date in your calendar, invite a friend, and come along to your next local event. You might just find your tribe.

PrimalCon

PrimalCon 2013

I’m just back from a fantastic Paleo trip to America (Jet Lag is most definitely not Paleo). A couple of weeks after PaleoFX in Austin, Texas, I made my way to Oxnard, California, for my third year at Mark Sisson’s PrimalCon weekend. Unlike the Ancestral Health Symposium, or PaleoFX, PrimalCon is a hands on practical weekend. As well as hearing about all things Paleo – the focus is on doing.

PrimalCon Oxnard CA 2013

With relatively small numbers of attendees – and lots of different presenters, there’s a chance to meet and speak to everyone. There are lots of regulars, who attend each year, but it was also great to meet so many new faces – as well as some others from Australia and the UK!

With Kelly Starrett and the Gokhale family, there were several session on posture, mobility – and the correct way to stand and move to avoid injury. Whilst these sessions were completely different, it was interesting that their methods and ideas are completely complimentary – hardly surprising as they’re based on how we’re supposed to move.

Another highlight of PrimalCon for me was finally meeting Sarah Fragoso of Everyday Paleo – who really is every bit as lovely and knowledgeable in real life as she is on her podcast!

Chef Rachel Albert gave another fantastic cooking demonstration. It’s amazing how many simple tips I pick up each year, despite being a regular in the kitchen myself!

I also loved William Vives Kettlebell session and as usual, learnt lots of new techniques that I can’t wait to practice at my Crossfit box. There were a few other fitness sessions too, such as barefoot running and sprinting techniques – and I especially loved the Olympic Lifting session – I can’t wait to master that!

As always, the food was absolutely fantastic. A local Paleo food truck (so jealous we don’t have those in Sydney!) provided a lot of the catering, and there was such a huge variety of grass fed meats, burgers, salads, veggies, nut butter – and an amazing coconut bark! It’s so nice to be able to dive into all of the food on offer, without even having to ask what is in the meatball sauce. You just know it’s 100% Paleo!

What would you most enjoy about an event like PrimalCon? The people, food or particular activities?

Why You Should Put a Hands-On Paleo Retreat Like PrimalCon on Your Bucket List

After attending several Paleo-themed conferences over the years, there’s something uniquely special about immersive events like PrimalCon. Unlike more academic gatherings that focus on lectures and research, PrimalCon invites you to live and breathe the Paleo lifestyle in real-time — from how you move and cook to how you connect with others. It’s less about information overload and more about integration. And that’s where the magic happens.

When you’re surrounded by people who understand and share your values, everything clicks. You’re not the “weird one” asking for no bun or wondering about seed oils. You’re in a space where nutrient density, barefoot biomechanics, and ancestral movement patterns are the norm. And even better — you get to apply all that knowledge through workshops, demos, and shared experiences.

Movement as a Central Theme

One of the things that stood out most at PrimalCon was the diversity of movement sessions. Whether it was kettlebells, sprint drills, Olympic lifts or posture-focused workshops, every physical session focused on form, function, and sustainability. No one was there to burn calories or beat personal bests — the emphasis was on moving well for life.

The sessions led by mobility experts like Kelly Starrett were especially eye-opening. Even if you think your posture and technique are solid, there’s always something new to refine. Having hands-on guidance in a relaxed outdoor setting was a real treat — and much more effective than a 10-minute YouTube video or a rushed gym class back home.

The barefoot running and sprinting clinics were also a highlight, teaching us how to harness the natural power of our feet and use momentum more efficiently. Practicing these skills on grass with immediate feedback from seasoned coaches was both fun and educational — and left many of us rethinking our standard running shoes.

The Power of Community

Let’s be honest — living a Paleo lifestyle can feel isolating at times. Whether it’s dealing with social situations, navigating supermarket labels, or explaining your food choices to colleagues, it’s easy to feel like you’re swimming against the tide. But at events like PrimalCon, you’re suddenly surrounded by people who “get it.”

Conversations flow easily. You’re swapping tips about organ meat recipes, discussing fasting strategies, or bonding over shared podcast favourites. The friendships that form over the course of the weekend often last well beyond the event. For many attendees, PrimalCon becomes an annual reunion of sorts — a time to reconnect with old friends and make new ones, all while continuing to grow in your own health journey.

Eating Paleo Without Thinking Twice

One of the most liberating aspects of PrimalCon was being able to enjoy meals without stress or second guessing. Everything on offer was fully Paleo — grass-fed meats, vibrant salads, hearty vegetables, bone broth, fermented sides, and some impressive grain-free treats. No scanning ingredient lists or negotiating with waitstaff — just pure, delicious, nourishing food made with intention.

It’s hard to describe the relief of knowing every bite you take aligns with your dietary values. For those of us used to bringing emergency snacks to social events or eating before we go out “just in case,” this was a true luxury. It also served as a reminder of how delicious Paleo food can be when prepared with creativity and quality ingredients — no deprivation, no blandness, just full-flavoured meals that fuel performance and recovery.

Workshops That Go Beyond Food and Fitness

In addition to the movement and cooking sessions, PrimalCon included lifestyle and mindset workshops that explored other vital pillars of ancestral health. From improving sleep quality and reducing blue light exposure, to managing stress and improving relationships, these sessions acknowledged that true wellness isn’t just about what you eat or how you train — it’s about how you live.

One particularly memorable session explored the importance of play and leisure in modern life. Guided games, laughter and creative movement reminded us that health isn’t always serious business — and sometimes, the best form of recovery is simply having fun in the sun.

Who Is PrimalCon Perfect For?

You don’t have to be an elite athlete or long-time Paleo follower to enjoy a retreat like PrimalCon. In fact, it’s ideal for anyone who:

  • Wants to deepen their understanding of the Paleo lifestyle through practical experience
  • Is looking to reconnect with their body through better movement and mobility
  • Values community, connection, and real-world support
  • Needs a reset from the modern world to recharge and realign their health goals
  • Enjoys spending time outdoors, eating amazing food, and learning from experts in a relaxed setting

It’s not about perfection — it’s about progress. Whether you’re there to fine-tune your deadlift, improve your sleep, or finally learn how to ferment vegetables, there’s a place for you.

Planning Your Own Primal Retreat

If a trip to California isn’t on the cards right now, why not take inspiration from the PrimalCon model and plan your own mini-retreat? Gather a few like-minded friends, head to a nature reserve or beachside location, and plan a weekend of real food, outdoor movement, campfire chats, and digital detoxing. You don’t need a big budget or a famous host — just good people, good food, and a shared commitment to health.

And if you do get the chance to attend PrimalCon in the future — jump on it. It’s more than an event. It’s a full-body, full-soul experience that will leave you recharged, refocused, and reconnected with what matters most.

Have you been to PrimalCon or a similar hands-on Paleo event? What was your biggest takeaway? I’d love to hear about your experience — or what you’d hope to gain from attending one in the future.

Paleofx conference seminar event expo paleo fx-min

PaleoFX

4 Comments

Last weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Austin, Texas to attend the second PaleoFX conference. Three days of talks and panels on all things Paleo – surrounded by like minded people! It was good to see a few other people had also travelled to the event from outside the US.

It was especially great to see Jimmy Moore and Nora Gedgaudas, who have both been out to Australia for seminar series in the last year or two. I also got to meet Robb Wolf, Sean Croxton, Abel James and so many others.

PaleoFX 2013

Having attended the Ancestral Health Symposium, I was interested to see how this event would differ. As well as lectures, PaleoFX had a lot of panels, where a group of “Paleo experts” sat on stage and answered a wealth of questions on a particular topic. As with the Ancestral Health Symposium, up to three talks occurred simultaneously, so it wasn't possible to listen to everyone. Fortunately they are releasing videos, so it will be possible to catch up on what I missed!

The highlight for me was meeting Dr Terry Wahls and listening to her lecture. I also enjoyed Dr Cate Shanahan, who I first heard on the Paleo Summit.

PaleoFX 2013

On the ground floor was a big exhibition set up, with stalls selling all manor of Paleo products. Books I've not been able to get in Australia, jerky, kombucha, fitness products, supplements, vitamins, Paleo snacks – everything you could possibly want.

With such a big Paleo community of our own here in Australia and New Zealand, we’re really excited about the next seminar series we have in the pipeline. I’d love to hear who you would like us to invite to speak in Australia and New Zealand – and what you would like them to speak about? And which cities should the series travel to, each state capital? Please please share your thoughts in the comments below, or send me an email.

Bringing the PaleoFX Energy Back Home

After spending a weekend immersed in all things Paleo at the conference in Austin, it’s hard not to come back feeling completely energised and inspired. There’s something powerful about being surrounded by others who share a deep passion for real food, ancestral health, and questioning the status quo when it comes to nutrition and wellness.

Back in Australia, I’ve been reflecting on just how valuable these events are — not just for the content, but for the conversations, connections, and sense of momentum they create. Attending events like PaleoFX reminds us we’re part of something much bigger than ourselves: a global movement striving to reclaim health through evolutionary principles.

Key Themes Emerging in the Paleo Community

One of the most exciting aspects of this year’s conference was seeing how much the Paleo conversation has evolved. While food is still at the centre, there’s a growing focus on wider lifestyle factors — and it’s clear that this holistic approach is where the movement is heading.

  • Sleep and Circadian Rhythm: Talks explored how modern light exposure, screen use, and disrupted sleep patterns are impacting everything from hormone balance to immunity and mood.
  • Mental Health and Neuroscience: There was a strong spotlight on anxiety, depression, neuroinflammation, and how diet and lifestyle can influence brain health, not just physical wellbeing.
  • Movement Beyond Exercise: Rather than focusing on workouts alone, speakers encouraged incorporating natural movement, mobility, play, and even rest as vital elements of health.
  • Regenerative Agriculture: Soil health, sustainable farming, and food sourcing were hot topics — particularly how we as consumers can support farming practices that benefit the planet and human health.

These conversations are especially relevant here in Australia, where we have incredible potential to adopt regenerative practices, support local producers, and shape how future generations think about food and health.

Could We Host an Event Like PaleoFX Here?

Given how large and passionate the Australian Paleo and ancestral health community is, it’s not a question of if we could host something similar — but when. Events like this spark lasting change, and with the right line-up, structure, and backing, we could create an event that rivals or even exceeds what’s currently happening overseas.

Imagine a multi-day event that brings together the best of our local experts, along with a few international thought leaders, to host workshops, cooking demos, live panels, and practical sessions. Not just lectures — but hands-on experiences to help people truly integrate this lifestyle.

Potential Speakers and Topics for an Australian Summit

  • Dr Terry Wahls — with a focus on neurodegenerative disease, mitochondrial health, and autoimmune recovery through diet.
  • Nora Gedgaudas — revisiting her insights on primal mind and nutritional psychology.
  • Local voices — doctors, nutritionists, regenerative farmers, movement coaches, and those thriving on Paleo in real-world conditions.
  • Practical workshops — such as primal movement, barefoot running, cooking for families, fermentation, or ancestral fitness.

We could easily align topics with common health challenges in Australia and New Zealand — from inflammatory disease and gut health to hormone imbalances, fertility, chronic stress, and ageing well.

What I’d Like to See Next

After absorbing so much information over the PaleoFX weekend, I came away with a few big takeaways that I think should guide the next chapter of Paleo in Australia:

  • Focus on Accessibility: It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the perfectionism sometimes seen in health circles. We need to keep encouraging progress over perfection — showing people how to implement changes even on a budget, with a busy schedule, or while raising a family.
  • Community-Led Support: The more we can facilitate meetups, online groups, recipe swaps, and real-world community building, the stronger the movement will grow.
  • Education Beyond Food: Paleo isn’t just a diet — it’s a way of rethinking modern life. We need more education around sleep, stress, posture, play, natural rhythms, and how they all fit together.

With this in mind, I’ll be working behind the scenes to bring something exciting to the Paleo community here. If you’ve ever dreamed of attending a summit like this without having to fly across the world — this might be your moment.

Let’s Co-Create the Next Paleo Event

I’d love your input. If you could attend a Paleo event anywhere in Australia or New Zealand, where would it be? Which experts do you want to hear from? Would you prefer talks, workshops, or cooking demos? Would you want to attend in person or stream it online?

Please drop your thoughts in the comments or reach out via email. This event is for all of us, and your ideas could shape its direction. With enough interest and support, we can make something incredible happen right here on home soil.

Until Then — Stay Inspired

Even if you weren’t at PaleoFX this year, there are so many ways to stay connected and inspired. Revisit your favourite speakers’ blogs, follow thought leaders on social media, and keep experimenting with what works best for your body and lifestyle.

And don’t forget — real food, movement, sleep, sunshine, and community are always available. You don’t need a conference pass to live well.

How To Kick Off A Healthy (Paleo) New Year

10 Comments

A new year is the perfect time for a fresh start. Whether you want to finally lose some weight, get fit or get on top of some health issues – there's no time like today – right now – to dive into the Paleo Diet

Where To Start

Have you got any lingering treats left from the festive season? Instead of promising to get stuck into a healthy regime, just as soon as you finish that last box of chocolates, throw it away! Your body will thank you for it.

The best way to start is, well – to actually start! Throw yourself right into it.

Organise

Sit down and plan your menu for the next week, meal by meal, then shop for everything you need. If it's in your fridge or pantry it's easy to prepare some great Paleo meals

Look through paleo websites and paleo cookbooks for inspiration for delicious meal ideas. Experimenting in the kitchen is a great way not to get bored. Paleo is no reason to have a bland, boring diet!

Whenever you cook, make at least double what you need. You can take the rest into work for lung the following day, or freeze for future dinners when you don't have time to cook.

Paleo Diet in Australia and New Zealand – Kick Start Your New Year Health Resolution

New to Paleo?

If you've not yet started a Paleo diet before, depending on how you ate before, you may get “carb flu” as your body adjusts to fewer carbohydrates. You can go cold turkey into Paleo (and remind yourself how much better you're going to feel once you acclimatise) – or you can slowly transition into a paleo diet, gradually reducing grains.

The initial period of following the paleo diet is a great time to read as much as you can about this lifestyle. It's great to understand why it works so well. When changing the way you eat, you're also likely to get a lot of questions from family and friends – so being well read up on Paleo comes in very handy

Unfit?

Instead of launching straight into a hardcore fitness routine, it's often great to start slowly. Walking is one of the best ways to increase your fitness, with the added benefit of fresh air and sunshine.

Weight to lose?

If you have weight to lose, Paleo is a great place to start. Once you reach a plateau – it's time to change things up a little. Some people have great results with techniques like low carb (or even nutritional ketosis) or intermittent fasting. Everyone is different, so it's important to find out what works for you

Where are you right now? Are you new to Paleo, or needing to refocus? What are your health aims for this brand new year? I'd love to hear in the comments below!

What Are Your New Year’s Resolutions?

12 Comments

It's nearly the end of the yea, which can only mean one thing – it's time for New Year's Resolutions! Other than the usual quitting smoking* here are my Paleo related goals for next year. I'd love to hear yours too!

Sleep

I'm realising more and more how important sleep is. It impacts everything. No matter how well you eat and how fit you are – without adequate sleep it often feels somewhat futile. So my plan is to allow myself a nine hour sleep window at least five nights a week. If I wake up early, I didn't need it! I will try to do this every night – but have to be realistic about those days when I have no option but to get early (typically to travel for work)

Ferment

Fermented food is so beneficial and I really need to make more time to prepare things like sauerkraut and kombucha! I'd like to have something fermented in my paleo diet every week – and also find a good kimchi recipe!

Offal

Another thing I'm not so good at is including Offal in my Paleo Diet. I plan to make an effort to consume things like liver, heart and kidneys on a regular basis. I think creating a good Pâté recipe will be a great way to do this.

Sun

I'm also going to pay much closer attention to my Vitamin D levels in the new year, so will have my levels tested more frequently and make sure I either get 20 minutes of sun exposure each day – or take a vitamin D3 supplement as close to midday as possible.

Organise

Towards the end of the year my organisation got worse and worse! I'm going to make sure I'm more organised and bring in my lunch each day – instead of spending my lunch breaks searching the city for something Paleo!

Move with Purpose

Exercise is already a key part of many people’s routines, but this year I want to shift from “burning calories” to “moving with purpose.” That means training in a way that’s aligned with functional, ancestral movement. I’ll be focusing more on walking barefoot outdoors, lifting heavy things a few times a week, and incorporating short, high-intensity workouts like sprints or kettlebell intervals. I’ll also make time for long hikes or swims whenever I can.

This kind of movement not only supports physical health but also contributes to mental clarity and emotional resilience. And in the true Paleo spirit, it mimics the variety and spontaneity of how our ancestors used their bodies every day—not just repeating the same gym routine on a treadmill indoors.

Cutting Out the Clutter

This year, another resolution is to simplify. That includes not just food but also the products I use, my surroundings, and even my social media feeds. I'm planning a serious pantry clean-out to remove anything that isn’t 100% aligned with my Paleo lifestyle—no more “maybe one day” packets of processed foods lurking in the back. This reset will help me stay more intentional with what I eat and how I shop.

Beyond food, I’ll also declutter my home to make it more calming and conducive to wellness. Too much stuff—especially tech—seems to disrupt peace and productivity, so I’ll be more mindful of what I allow into my space, both physically and digitally.

Hydration Goals

I’ve always known that hydration is important, but I’ve often let it fall by the wayside. In the new year, I plan to make water intake a higher priority. I’m aiming for at least 2.5 litres a day, more on active or hot days here in Australia. I’ll also be focusing on mineral-rich hydration—adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of coconut water to help with electrolyte balance.

Proper hydration supports digestion, energy levels, skin clarity, and joint health. I’m also planning to keep an insulated bottle with me at all times and track my intake to make this goal sustainable and measurable.

Read More Paleo Research

This resolution is about diving deeper into the why behind the Paleo diet. While I’ve read the basics and followed this lifestyle for years, I want to take a more scientific look at some of the principles—particularly emerging research around gut health, autoimmune protocols, and the effects of modern food processing.

I’ll be setting aside 30 minutes each week to read from peer-reviewed journals, listen to expert-led podcasts, or explore books that cover the intersection of ancestral health and modern science. Staying up to date helps refine my approach and also lets me share better, more informed content with you.

Batch Cooking and Freezer Prep

To support my goals of eating more nutrient-dense foods and staying on track with organisation, I’ll be embracing batch cooking more regularly. Every Sunday, I plan to prepare a few key components that can be mixed and matched throughout the week—things like roasted veggies, shredded meat, bone broth, and fermented condiments.

Not only does this reduce midweek stress, but it also prevents decision fatigue and helps avoid the temptation of off-plan meals. I’ll be investing in quality glass containers, a good set of labels, and maybe even upgrading the freezer storage layout to keep things easy to grab and defrost.

Embrace Local and Seasonal

Instead of buying imported produce or frozen convenience options, I’m making a resolution to eat seasonally and locally as much as possible. That means visiting farmers’ markets more often, supporting ethical Australian producers, and focusing on fruits and vegetables that are naturally thriving in each season.

This approach is not only more sustainable but also delivers better taste and nutritional content. Plus, it gives me a deeper connection to the land I live on and helps me appreciate food in a whole new way—something very much in the spirit of Paleo living.

Mindful Tech Use

Another goal that ties in beautifully with a holistic lifestyle is reducing screen time—especially before bed. In 2024, I often found myself scrolling late into the evening, which undoubtedly interfered with my sleep, stress levels, and overall focus.

This year I’m implementing digital curfews, turning off screens an hour before bedtime, and replacing that time with journaling, reading, or simply winding down with calming music or a short stretch. It’s all about being more present and creating space for restoration rather than constant stimulation.

Reconnect with Community

One of the most overlooked parts of wellness is connection. I’m making a conscious effort this year to spend more quality time with people who inspire and uplift me. Whether that’s through meal sharing, nature walks, or group workouts, I want to re-establish that sense of community that’s so central to ancestral living.

Isolation is often a silent stressor in modern life. By reconnecting with like-minded friends and being more involved in real-world conversations—not just online—I hope to build stronger bonds that support mental and emotional health throughout the year.

If you’re setting Paleo-aligned resolutions this year, I’d love to hear what they are. Are you planning to experiment with fasting? Try a Whole30 reset? Source a better local butcher? Share your goals in the comments below and let’s keep each other accountable!

How To Recover From An Un Paleo Christmas

8 Comments

How's your Paleo diet going this Christmas?

Did you keep it Paleo, or did all the SAD traditional food get the better of you this Christmas?

No matter what your intentions or plans, at this time of year it can be easy to get swept along with family and friends – and find yourself eating all the foods you'd normally avoid. Be it tradition, peer pressure or a one off – at this time of year above all others – it's easy to fall off the Paleo wagon.

So what now if your Paleo diet has gone by the wayside?

How does it make you feel? Chances are a rare gluten exposure will make you feel far worse than it would have before you went gluten-free. Once you get gluten out of your system, a one off exposure often seems to have a far bigger impact that it did when you regularly ate gluten-laced food. If you're used to a relatively low carb diet a sudden influx of sugar can leave you feeling moody, tired and lacking in energy – and above all crave another sugar hit. A vicious circle you don't want to get into!

 

Perhaps you're thinking that as you've been eating un-Paleo, you might as well continue until the weekend? Or New Year? Or until those cakes and chocolates the neighbours brought have finished?

But the best course of action is to get straight back onto your Paleo diet. If you can't bear to throw away the remaining non-Paleo food – give it away to your non-Paleo friends or neighbours! Remove the temptation.

Bone broths are a great nourishing way to get back into a good dietary routine – particularly if you've had a bad reaction to a gluten exposure.

How was your Christmas? Did you keep it Paleo? I'd love to hear your comments below.

Get Back on Track with a Post-Christmas Reset

If your Christmas ended up being a little too merry in the food department, don’t panic. One of the most empowering things about living a Paleo lifestyle is that it’s never about perfection — it’s about intention and consistency over time. Slipping up doesn’t mean failure, and the faster you recommit to nourishing your body, the better you’ll feel.

A great way to begin is with a simple 3 to 5-day Paleo reset. Focus on real, whole foods with minimal ingredients. Prioritise quality protein like grass-fed beef, pastured eggs, and wild-caught fish. Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables, and hydrate generously. By getting back to the basics, you’ll reset your blood sugar, reduce cravings, and begin to feel like yourself again far quicker than you might think.

Support Digestion After Overindulgence

Digestive discomfort is one of the most common side effects of holiday eating, especially if your body is no longer used to grains, seed oils or processed sugar. Fortunately, you can ease back into digestive balance naturally. Begin with light, easily digestible meals like broths, soups, steamed veggies, and simple proteins. Avoid raw vegetables for a few days if your gut feels off — cooked food is generally gentler on the system post-exposure.

You can also support your digestion by sipping ginger or peppermint tea between meals. Apple cider vinegar in warm water before eating can help stimulate digestive enzymes. And of course, fermented foods like sauerkraut and coconut kefir can help restore gut bacteria thrown off by a few days of indulgence.

Rein in the Sugar Cravings

If the Christmas sweets left you with a serious sugar hangover, you’re not alone. Sugar is highly addictive, and even a couple of festive days can lead to intense cravings. The key here is to break the cycle quickly. Don’t try to ‘wean off’ sugar — it only prolongs the dependence. Instead, go cold turkey and focus on eating high-protein, high-fat meals to stabilise blood sugar.

Cravings are also often a sign of dehydration or mineral deficiency. Add a pinch of sea salt to your water, increase your intake of leafy greens, and ensure you’re eating enough magnesium-rich foods like pumpkin seeds and spinach. Within just a few days of consistent, real food, the cravings will fade.

Move Your Body to Recharge

If Christmas left you feeling sluggish, bloated or foggy, gentle movement can help shift things along. You don’t need to hit the gym or go full CrossFit — walking, stretching or a light yoga session can be just as effective at getting your energy and mood back on track.

Try to get outside each day, even for a short walk. Exposure to natural light will help rebalance your circadian rhythm, particularly if your sleep took a hit over the holidays. A short burst of sunlight first thing in the morning can work wonders for both energy and digestion.

Focus on Your Next Meal

It’s easy to catastrophise after a festive blowout, but the truth is: it’s just one (or a few) meals. You don’t need to “start on Monday” or wait for the New Year to make better choices. The best time to get back to Paleo is at your next meal. Don’t dwell on the pavlova or the stuffing — just make your next plate a good one.

Even something as simple as scrambled eggs with avocado, or a chicken soup with leftover veg, is enough to hit the reset button. Keep it simple and focus on momentum rather than perfection.

Reconnect With Why You Started

When you first began eating Paleo, chances are you noticed better energy, clearer skin, fewer cravings, and improved sleep. Recalling how you felt before Paleo — and how much progress you’ve made — can reignite your motivation.

Write down your reasons for going Paleo in the first place and keep them visible. Whether it was for autoimmune relief, weight management, mental clarity, or just feeling stronger — these reasons still matter. A few festive meals don’t undo your progress, but remembering your ‘why’ helps you get back on course with purpose, not guilt.

Plan for Next Year Now

Let’s face it — Christmas and New Year aren’t going anywhere. So why not make a plan for next year while the experience is still fresh? If certain events or situations made it hard to stay Paleo, take note. Could you bring your own dish? Suggest a picnic instead of a formal lunch? Politely decline that tray of Ferrero Rocher next time?

Set yourself up for success by preparing strategies in advance. That might mean freezing a few Paleo-friendly treats ahead of time or creating new festive food traditions that align with your values. The more you prepare, the easier it becomes to stay true to your goals while still enjoying the season.

Your Post-Holiday Paleo Checklist

  • ✔ Clear the house of leftover non-Paleo foods
  • ✔ Plan your meals for the next 3 days
  • ✔ Start your day with protein and healthy fats
  • ✔ Drink at least 2 litres of water daily
  • ✔ Incorporate some movement, even gentle walking
  • ✔ Get outside and prioritise sleep
  • ✔ Focus on nourishment, not punishment

Ultimately, remember that Paleo is a lifestyle, not a diet. It’s not about being 100% perfect all the time — it’s about making choices that serve your health, most of the time. The holiday season is meant to be enjoyed, and if that meant eating a few things off-plan, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Just pick yourself up, refocus, and get back to eating and living in a way that makes you feel amazing.

The Best 12 Kitchen Gifts for Health-Conscious Food Lovers

5 Comments

Whilst you can follow a healthy Paleo Diet with little more than a chopping board and a few pans, there are some great kitchen gadget and tools that surely any foodie would love in their kitchen.

Here’s my list. What’s on yours?

1. Dehydrator

I've had good results making jerky and kale chips in my oven, but I would love to try a dehydrator

2. Vitamix Blender

The Rolls Royce of blenders, able to grind nuts into nut butters and even cook soup. I want one!

3. A Good Set Of Knives

I really miss a good knife set, but have yet to find a good brand available in Australia (without needing a small mortgage). Any recommendations gratefully received!

4. Pressure Cooker

I've seen so many recipes that use a pressure cooker to make exceptionally tender meat – and I’d love to try it out for myself.

5. An Old School Mincer/ Meat Grinder

Even though I have a good butcher, I’d love to be able to make my own minced/ ground meat

6. A Big Slow Cooker/ Crockpot

I didn't realise how much I’d love this method of cooking, when I bought my small slow cooker. I wish I’d bough a much bigger one, as whenever I cook I always like to make enough for lots of future meals at the same time.

7. A Heavy Hardwood Chopping Board

A good chopping board last for years and is so much more hygienic than those nasty plastic chopping boards.

8. Mandoline Slicer

A great way to cut up vegetables evenly

9. Meat Thermometer

The best way to cook a perfect roast is using science after all!

10. Sausage Stuffer

Once I have my meat grinder, I’d love to make my own Paleo Sausages.

11. Water Filter

I have a Brita water filter jug in the fridge – but what I’d really like is a water filter on my tap, to ensure all the water is filtered before it leaves the tap.

12. Salad Spinner

This would be great for summer and making sure the kale is dried properly before making kale chips.

Do you have any of these items? How do you find using them?

More Gift Ideas for the Paleo Foodie

These days, there are so many gadgets and tools that can make healthy cooking faster, easier, and more enjoyable. While this list is a great starting point, the best gifts are always personal — so think about the way your giftee likes to eat, prep and live.

For those who love batch cooking or meal prepping, a large-capacity slow cooker, instant pot, or even vacuum sealer could be a game-changer. A set of glass storage containers can also help them keep leftovers fresh without the use of plastic.

For the serious Paleo foodie, a fermentation kit can open the door to making homemade sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha — all great gut-friendly foods. If you’re shopping for someone who’s really into ancestral health or biohacking, even something like a blue light blocking lamp, raw honey gift set, or sustainable cookware might be appreciated.

And don't overlook digital gift options like online Paleo cooking classes, a subscription to a grass-fed meat delivery box, or even credit for an organic grocery delivery service. These gifts don’t take up kitchen space but make a big impact in daily life.

Whether it's for Christmas, a birthday, or just because — thoughtful gifts that support health, nutrition, and joy in the kitchen are always appreciated.

The truth about Jimmy Moore Paleo Low Carb-min

The Truth About Jimmy Moore

7 Comments

I’ve been listening to Jimmy Moore’s podcasts and reading his blog for a few years now. But I’d never met him. I’m always interested to meet people in real life, because often the “online persona” they’ve created is very different to the reality.

Jimmy Moore recently left Australia after his trip over for the Low Carb Down Under seminar series, and I met him in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

So, what is Jimmy Moore really like?

Does he really eat what he says he eat? Has he really lost a lot of weight?

Well, if you were hoping for some dirt, I’m afraid there is none!

Firstly, Jimmy has lost a lot of weight. He is far slimmer than his pre-Australia blog photos implied. A lot of people on the internet seem to criticise Jimmy, because he lost and then regained weight. But the thing is, Jimmy has always been honest about it. I have a lot of respect for someone who is able to put their hands up, say it isn’t working – and try a new approach.

Nutritional Ketosis

Jimmy’s new approach, Nutritional Ketosis is working. Really working.  He gave some very honest lectures, sharing exactly what he is doing, how it is working and how he feels. He even took his blood readings on stage.

I’ve also read a lot of speculation about what actually Jimmy eats. But after a few meals with Jimmy, there’s no “odd meals”, just normal, fairly Primal meals, that are a lot more bias towards the fat content than mine would be. A lot of the fat content comes from dairy, such as butter (he certainly gets through a lot of butter!), as well as foods like avocado.

Being in Nutritional Ketosis certainly seems to give Jimmy a lot of energy, particularly evident when we did the coastal walk from Bronte to Bondi beach!

Jimmy Moore paleo network Australia low carb downunder tour trip 680-min

With some weight still to lose myself, I’m very interested in Nutritional Ketosis. I’ve been making a conscious effort to eat more fat in the last few weeks, but perhaps it might be time to embark on a more scientific n=1 experiment of my own.

Jimmy is a really nice guy, who clearly cares a great deal about everyone who reaches out to him.  A lot of people in the Paleo/ low carb community have come from a fitness (I.e. crossfit) or a health angle – and whilst the nutrition may be similar, the journey isn’t.  I find it really refreshing and inspiring to hear an honest account of weight loss – what works and what doesn’t. A lot of Australians who attended the lectures have been very inspired by Jimmy’s story – and several people are doing their own Nutritional Ketosis experiments. I can't wait to start to hear the progress reports.

It was also an absolute pleasure to meet Christine, Jimmy’s wife, who is clearly extremely supportive of everything Jimmy does. If there is any dirt on Jimmy Moore, I’m sure Christine will be the one to dish it!

What Can We Learn from Nutritional Ketosis?

While approaches to health and weight loss are always evolving, Nutritional Ketosis remains a powerful tool in the low-carb and Paleo space. By prioritising healthy fats and keeping carbohydrates extremely low, this state encourages the body to use ketones for fuel — often resulting in increased mental clarity, steady energy, and better appetite control.

Many in the Paleo and low-carb communities have experimented with ketosis, especially those seeking better blood sugar regulation, weight loss, or simply more control over their diet. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, but for some, it’s been life-changing. The key is to experiment safely, track your results, and adapt as needed.

If you’ve been thinking about trying Nutritional Ketosis for yourself, it’s worth exploring. Just be sure to do your research, and speak with a health professional if you have any concerns. As with everything in the Paleo lifestyle, it's about finding what works best for you.

Have you experimented with ketosis? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments.
