The journey to optimal health is highly personal. Each individual will have different contributing factors, different goals, different genetics, and a different environment. Yet, there are some things that hold true for everyone, and in Primal Uprising, Michelle and Keith Norris have taken something very complex and confusing made it simple and clear with the seven pillars of health. What I love most about this book is that they focus less on rules and more on resilience. I believe resilience is the greatest path to health and something I spent the most time covering in my book as well. Its time to reframe stress and this book shows you how to build that resilience with each pillar, which is brilliant. I read this cover to cover and it is something we all need right now.

As a metabolic scientist, my perspective on optimal health is viewed through the lens of the food we eat. However, while food matters, it alone fails to shine light on all facets of a sound body and mind. In Primal Uprising: The Paleo f(x) Guide to Optimizing Your Health, Expanding Your Mind, and Reclaiming Your Freedom, Michelle and Keith Norris illuminate seven diverse and distinct dimensions of human health and wellness that create a comprehensive view and strategy to a long and productive life.

Some of us like to live on the edge, experimenting with our health using all the resources available to us, but genuine full-spectrum health isnt just biohacks and better diets. Health is about looking at your whole life and changing the parts that arent working. Thats what Michelle and Keith have done in Primal Uprising, a stupendously comprehensive approach to health that covers food and movement, mind and emotion, spirit and human connection, money and tribe. Its about changing yourself to change a world in need of an evolutionary kick in the ass. As someone who obsessively considers every aspect of health, and who has recently focused on the less obvious aspects of human optimization like spirituality, family, and becoming a better person, I appreciate what theyve done and recommend this book to anyone who wants to take their health to the next level.

We are in a world where science, technology, and closed belief systems have led us, with all our smarts, to the edges of extinction, but if we were wise, we would be integrating the deep truths of ancestral wisdom lineages with the advanced technology and science today and the proof of our smarts would be harmony, sustainability, and a better future for our children and nature itself. Primal Uprising: The Paleo f(x) Guide to Optimizing Your Health, Expanding Your Mind, and Reclaiming Your Freedom, offers you real wisdom, the application of which will create sustainability, foster responsible use of technology, and more importantly, guide you to finding and using the most advanced technology of all, which lives and breathes within you.

Paul Chek, holistic health practitioner and founder of Chek Institute

Michelle and Keith Norris, founders of Paleo f(x), have created not just a conference but a full-on movement, bringing together thousands of people who want to explore how to live a modern lifestyle rooted in ancestral principles. You can see how ahead of the trends they are, just by seeing who presents at their conference. With their book, Primal Uprising, they are helping people find health freedomfreedom from fad diets and dogmaby simplifying health into a fantastic framework that anyone can relate to. I especially love their perspectives on financial, spiritual, and tribal resilience because these are so often overlooked when people think about health. Really, if you cant afford to be healthy, thats a problem, and if you cant find meaning or purpose, whats the point of health, and if you have no one to share your life with, its a lonely path. Its just so important to go beyond the surface when it comes to truly understanding what health is about and Michelle and Keith have done just that, and beautifully.
