Michael Ristow, Hormesis, and Do We Even Need to Fast if we are Low-Carb?   Caveman Doctor has recently received many emails (whatever an email is) from readers asking about intermittent fasting. From information online, you would think that intermittent fasting is the key to heal all health ailments. Also, fasting for those of [...]

  Yesterday, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published two important and revolutionary studies examining the surgical management of diabetic patients.  Both studies compared bariatric surgery with conventional medical treatment of diabetes in obese patients.  As the NEJM often does with important studies, an editorial followed.  These significant studies showed some dramatic results in [...]

Since his post on vegetable oils, Caveman Doctor has received many emails (whatever an email is) asking about trans-fats, how they are made, and why they are bad for our health.  As the vegetable oil article was merely an introduction, some readers also asked for some more information on their health effects.  This article will [...]

Caveman Doctor is going to shift gears here and progress from his days as a member of H. erectus to H. sapien in an effort to get a little more cerebral.  This article gets a little (ok a lot) sciency, however, I think the topic should be discussed at length because there is a lot [...]

Caveman Doctor receives many emails (whatever an email is) from readers saying they don’t have enough time to cook these caveman foods, especially vegetables. Caveman Doctor usually spends about 10 minutes cooking his vegetables, and at the most (if he’s feeling crazy) 15 minutes. Often he eats his vegetables raw or soaks them in vinegar [...]

Caveman Doctor has been a follower of a Caveman/Paleo diet for quite some time now (a couple million years) and after the advent of reading, writing, and the internet, there has been a wealth of material published on inflammation, avoiding inflammation, and eating foods that fight inflammation.  Caveman Doctor has always assumed that the foods [...]

As Caveman Doctor often posts on nutrition and its impact on health and cancer, he appropriately receives many emails (whatever an email is) regarding specific vitamins to take. From personal experience, Caveman Doctor has trouble answering this question. In his time, Caveman Doctor obviously never took any vitamins. While there were no labs to check [...]

Caveman Doctor is very excited to celebrate this memorable day. What are we celebrating, you may be asking yourself? Today is the one millionth anniversary of the first time Caveman Doctor bagged a Woolly Mammoth on a hunting trip with his clan. While we are not celebrating killing an animal (vegetarians, if any of you [...]
