Robb is the author of the New York Times Best-Seller, The Paleo Solution, a former research biochemist, a renowned strength and conditioning coach, and a leading expert in Paleolithic nutrition. Through his best-selling book, top ranked iTunes podcast and wildly popular seminar series, Robb has transformed the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world. But Robb hasn't always been a knuckle-dragger. Robb Wolf rocks some cold thermogenesis For those of you who haven't yet read The Paleo Solution, Robb has a pretty cool back story. Robb in his younger days (like me) "developed an interest in unwashed hippy girls and vegetarianism." But at the ripe age of 26, Robb suddenly found himself crippled by severe ulcerative colitis and the wheels fell off. Once a monstrous powerlifter whose stats could make He-Man blush, Robb could no longer bench his own body weight. Robb's doctors worried that his loss of vitality and an early death was all but inevitable. But after his mother was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, and Celiac disease, Robb smelled what he was stepping in. The base of the food pyramid -- grains and legumes, "the most wholesome and righteous of foods" -- seemed to be out to kill him. So Robb stuck his nose in the books, swung over to Whole Foods, grilled up some grass-fed beef, and the rest is history. Tons more in the show. Podcast Awesomeness Today, Robb hosts an insanely popular podcast, The Paleo Solution, and we've both been muscling for the top spot and nipping at the heels of Jillian Michaels for the past few weeks. And -- awesome news -- the Fat-Burning Man show just hit #2 in the UK and nudged out Jillian Michaels! This is unprecedented stuff. No corporation, no sponsors, no PR or massive marketing campaigns -- Robb and I are just a couple dudes with mics who are passionate about helping as many people as we can. And with our powers combined (and all of the other ancestral health podcasts out there), we're giving conventional wisdom a walloping. I know I speak for Robb when I say that we are humbled and truly appreciate your support. The format of The Fat-Burning Man Show is evolving. I plan to have many of my guests back to answer your questions, explore heady and cutting-edge principles and theories, and chat about changing the world. This will certainly not be the last time you'll see Robb on the show. We had a blast. Quick note: some of you may be aware that Robb and Nicki have a "Wolf cub" on the way. The cub should be arriving soon, so send your positive vibes! Robb and I chat about: How Paleo has recalibrated and become more nuanced since Loren Cordain's, The Paleo Diet How Art De Vany kicked Robb's arse in an impromptu road race The risks and benefits of strategic carb refeeds How we're turning into a country of crack babies (thanks epigenetics) Why the recent "Red Meat is Evil" study is crap science and future opportunities for research Robb's view on intermittent fasting as a stressor The importance of a more nuanced approach to paleo as a template rather than strict dogma The importance of marrying directional accuracy and good science to move the field forward Why extreme caloric restriction for longevity is not worth the misery Why Robb wishes he had posted a shirtless picture of himself as his iTunes thumbnail And Robb answers reader questions including: Is there such a thing as "safe starches"? Robb's opinions about the "hot" topic: cold thermogenesis, Jack Kruse style How much and what style of exercise is appropriate for maximum longevity and overall vibrancy? If Robb were to write another book about Paleo, what new important info would he add? http://fatburningman.com
