Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Hello Paleo Diet Team, I’d like any information you might have on how The Paleo Diet has helped with thyroid issues. I have Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s Disease and am having trouble getting consistent thyroid levels with medication. Thank you for your help. Candice Trevor Connor’s Response: Hi Candice, First a quick clarification on Hyper/hypothyroidism vs Hashimoto’s for our readers. Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is the autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. We measure TgAB and thyroglobulin to track the progess of the disease. As Hashimoto’s progresses, the thyroid stops functioning properly and the patient experiences hyper- or hypothyroidism.…
Raising Paleo Children
Hello Dr. Cordain and Team, I am a passionate Paleo follower and advocate this healthy way of eating to anyone who will listen. My question is in regards to my children aged 2 and a half and 3 and a half. Are there any special considerations that need to be made for small children? My children love to eat meat, chicken, fish, and a large amount of fresh fruit and vegetables which is awesome. They eat small amounts of walnuts and pecans (cut up very small and eaten under supervision), I cook with extra virgin coconut oil, and they have…
Part II: Hidradenitis Suppurativa and The Paleo Diet
Hi Dr. Cordain, I’m not sure if you remember me- I was one of the women who interviewed you last August at the Ancestral Health Symposium in LA. The reason I’m writing you today is 1) to thank you and 2) to ask you some questions. When we spoke, I asked you about Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). You told me that you suspected it had an autoimmune connection, but didn’t have any more information to add. I suffered from HS for over 20 years, Stage II, so I was very motivated to get rid of it for good. Once you mentioned…
Part I: Hidradenitis Suppurativa and The Paleo Diet
Dear Professor Cordain, I read very useful information on your website regarding the importance of nutrition for health, therefore I have a few questions and hope you will find time to provide the answers. My fiance have been struggling with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) for about 12 years. Doctors and antibiotics did not provide much help. The only thing that helped him about 10 years ago was his trip to Malaysia that resulted in total change of food (no bread, no meat – except fish, no diary, but a lot of turmeric). Unfortunately, the illness returned about two years ago and…
One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila… Primal!
Hi Dr. Cordain, I came to you via my research on The Paleo Diet. I’ve found some articles that say tequila and wine are the only two forms of alcohol allowed on The Paleo Diet. Can you speak to this in greater detail? I work for a very small tequila brand and we’re hoping to offer our ultra-premium products to your diet followers as an improvement to what they may be consuming. Cheers and thanks for your help! Serena Dr. Cordain’s Response: Hi Serena, From a purely factual perspective, no alcohol is “Paleo,” as our Stone Age ancestors lacked the…

Can The Paleo Diet Treat Crohn’s Disease?
Hello Dr. Cordain, My husband has had Crohn’s disease for most of his life along with many surgeries. I have been advised to check out The Paleo Diet, but have noticed that it encourages eating leafy greens. Our problem is that he cannot eat any type of leafy greens or roughage, as much as he would love to, it would go right through him and cause him severe stomach pain. I am strongly considering trying this way of life (a lot of which we have already incorporated), but do not want to if its not feasible for my husbands health.…
