About this listen

Combining modern genetic science and evolutionary biology, The Primal Blueprint dispels a number of the myths that modern medicine and conventional wisdom have come to accept as fact. Author Mark Sisson takes the listener on a fascinating journey through human evolution, comparing the life and robust health of our hunter-gatherer ancestors with a day in the life of a modern family - exposing potential health issues that arise from trying to do the right things living in the 21st century.

Sisson offers a solution in 10 empowering "Blueprint Lifestyle Laws" that can help us reprogram our genes away from disease and pain towards a direction of effortless weight loss, vibrant health and boundless energy. The listener learns how the right high-fat diet can actually help one lose weight; how popular low-fat, grain-based diets might trigger illness, disease, and lifelong weight gain; why doing too much cardio exercise might actually suppress the immune system and how some of today's most common medications might make a health condition even worse.

Where does The Primal Blueprint rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Ive been a podcast listener for about a year now and this for me is the next step in educating myself whilst on the road "working" this book is brief to the point and is my go to book for a Back to basics approach to my now preferred lifestyle....... Primal / Keto / Wild

What about Mark Sisson’s performance did you like?

Mark is a leader in the primal movement who's been there seen it done it wrote the book, and now narrated the book. a true go to guy for results.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, and i continue to listen to this book (3 times now end to end) long car journeys for work!

Any additional comments?

Can't rate audio books highly enough........ forget the radio and CD's! Audio books all the way now on the long (6hrs) drive to and from Scotland each week!

Learn while on the road!

Interesting, but book version preferred for the material

A great read - ideal for anyone looking to find out what going 'primal' involves - it's a lifestyle not just a style of eating!

What a wake up call

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Every time I get determined to lose weight I follow the same routine with success. When talking about my methods with friends. My brother told me that what I was actually doing was akin to the Paleo diet.

The book is short, well informed and full of uncomplicated scientific breakdowns so people with no prior knowledge of science or nutrition can understand them.

If I had to criticise, I would argue that it is not long enough! Another slight criticism is where the author offers a relatively subjective argument against a critic who argues (wrongly) that the paleo diet is elitist and expensive... For instance one could afford to cook these types of food in a slow cooker in bulk with little effort, minimising the cost to the consumer.

This book has provided me with an explanation of how I am able to shed weight, gain muscle and feel better so exponentially, when I try to lose weight.

This book should be read by everyone, especially those who get caught up in the everyday struggles of modern living. Whether you agree or not with the information provided, it should at least open your eyes to a few aspects of your life that have been neglected or could be improved.
