One of the main tenets of The Paleo Diet® is to provide our physiology with foods that match our genetically determined nutritional requirements. These were established over a long period of human evolution long before both the agricultural and dairy revolution took place, let alone the industrial revolution which further drastically changed the human food supply away from our genetic requirements. These requirements have led to a number of key concepts that shape The Paleo Diet, and we address those concepts in this section.
A brief history of the “Juice Men”, Norman Walker and Jay Kordich, and how their ahead-of-the-times concept of “juicing” has applicable health benefits today.
By Loren Cordain, Ph.D.In part 2, we explore the official guidelines for treating IBD and how successful they are at helping patients avoid surgery. We also review the non-pharmaceutical interventions such as diet.
By Raphael Sirtoli, M.Sc.Are environmental factors driving the rise of IBDs? See more about the etiology, symptoms, and potential treatments of Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis.
By Raphael Sirtoli, M.Sc.There is an ongoing debate in the nutrition world about protein’s effect on the gut. A healthy gut microbiome is critical to preventing disease and inflammation. Research shows protein actually improves gut health rather than harm it when combined with fiber.
By Robert Yang, M.S.How does obesity, even metabolic obesity, relate to your immune system? Can diet help you fight COVID-19? Author of The DeFlame Diet for Immune Health David Seaman explains.

By David Seaman, D.C., M.S.The focus of the Paleo Diet is not on finding an ideaL macronutrient ratio, but on eating the foods we evolved to eat and avoiding anything processed.
By Trevor Connor, M.S.By examining the environment under which our genome arose, we are able to determine if high protein diets are helpful or detrimental to our health.
By Loren Cordain, Ph.D.Learn how eliminating non-paleo foods can help improve your nutrient density. Browse The Paleo Diet® blog for paleo diet news, paleo recipes & more!
By Loren Cordain, Ph.D.The paleosphere has jumped on the notion that added salt is healthy based on research showing a J-shaped relationship. Learn why there were major flaws in this research and why a high-salt diet is not Paleo
By Loren Cordain, Ph.D.Evidence suggests that the sodium/potassium ratio in the Paleolithic diet is far more beneficial to human health when compared to a typical Western diet.
By Mark J. Smith, Ph.D.Dr. Loren Cordain’s final graduate student, Trevor Connor, M.S., brings more than a decade of nutrition and physiology expertise to spearhead the new Paleo Diet team.
One of the original members of the Paleo movement, Mark J. Smith, Ph.D., has spent nearly 30 years advocating for the benefits of Paleo nutrition.
Ironman athlete, mom, author, and nutrition blogger Nell Stephenson has been an influential member of the Paleo movement for over a decade.
As a professor at Colorado State University, Dr. Loren Cordain developed The Paleo Diet® through decades of research and collaboration with fellow scientists around the world.
