PaleoJays Smoothie CafeStart YOUR Fitness Journey for 2023!Send us a textIt doesn’t matter where you are now. Not at all. This is, as they say, the first day of the rest of your life! So let’s get started.It all starts with diet and exercise. Everything in your future life of fitness and wellness. So, this January 1st of 2023 (or whenever you are reading this, I’m writing on January 1st) clean out your cupboards and refrigerator. Get rid of anything toxic. First and most importantly, get rid of any toxic seed or vegetable oils! Corn oil, soy, can...2023-01-0211 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeThe Paleo diet is Dead- Long Live the Paleo diet!Send us a textOk- the paleo diet was ground breaking in every way! It was actually started by a man named Walter Voegtlin, who was a gastroenterologist. He called it the ‘Stone Age Diet’, a diet that eliminated most all foods that came after the agricultural revolution approximately 10,000 years ago.After him, Loren Cordain is the one who revived it around 2005. This is when I discovered it, and even wrote to Cordain about a health problem of my wife, and he graciously responded. We adopted his diet, and her health problem resolved...2022-02-0416 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeForget Cardio!Send us a texthttp://www.paleojay.comThe truth is definitely in: the whole fiasco of Ken Cooper’s Aerobics mania is dead. Along with the high fat diet is the worst, and the even earlier notion of ‘better living through chemistry’ which promoted the noxious idea that drugs could not only prolong our lives, but improve them.Despite Elvis and all the other following celebrities who were convinced that those ‘god-like’ prescription drugs could only make their lives better- after all, hadn’t science invented all of technology like cars and a...2021-06-2211 min
PaleoJays Smoothie CafePerilous Times in the West on Paleojay’s Smoothie CafeSend us a textIt’s kind of sad to reach the autumn of your years, only to realize that the civilization you were reared in- Western Civilization- the most vital and successful civilization of all time, is foundering! Now, I don’t mean that it is failing, but it is in crisis. Just as ancient Greece, and then ancient Rome, which picked up the mantle only to founder in its turn; the incredible vitality and liberating truth of this ultimate of all civilizations is in trouble. And, just like those earlier incarnations, upon which our own...2021-04-1609 min
PaleoJays Smoothie CafeBitcoin is Paleo Tribal Money on PaleoJay's Smoothie CafeSend us a textIn returning to an approximation of the paleolithic world in modern times, of course the first thing is to eat and otherwise conduct ourselves in accordance with our evolutionary heritage. Move naturally, and often to build our bodies as did our ancestors for millennia, sleep according to our circadian rhythms, and live in a rural, natural environment, as unaffected by big cities and big government as possible. But now, there is another step you can take, my paleo fellow tribesperson: buy crypto currencies! These are currencies tha...2021-02-1214 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeBig Cities are Fatally Flawed on PaleoJays Smoothie CafeSend us a textWe now live in a time when all of our major cities are failing. We panic, wondering what is now different: why, oh why are New York city, Chicago, Detroit of course all failing, all such abhorrent places of crime, violence and mayhem? All bankrupt, and all being run by horrible governments that are hastening their decline??But we forget, all of us forget our own Western history- it has ever been thus. Indeed, part of our decline is caused by us no longer teaching and learning our own history…An...2020-09-1013 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeReligion is in our DNA podcastSend us a textIt’s strange: as paleo people, we believe that our diet evolved along with us, making us what we are. For instance, there has never, ever, been a vegetarian or vegan tribe or culture. Humans have always eaten animal products, some more than others, but ALL rely on the amazing nutrition in animal derived foods. Eating animals and products taken from animals made us what we are- you can’t take animals out of our evolution and arrive at modern humans.This is widely...2020-08-2709 min

PaleoJays Smoothie CafeBuild your Health and Avoid the PandemicSend us a textWith all the scare tactics circulated by the mainstream media, you would think that the coronavirus from China was the new Black Death! It’s not, not even close. Young children can catch it, but they barely get sick. It can kill older people, but here is a secret: unless you are already sick, sick as most Americans are with diabesity and all the attendant ills that come along with it- it is a very small threat to you as well! In other words, if you are som...2020-08-0311 min

But, nowadays, our health is so tied to the politics all about us, that another part of my name, PaleoJay, is being brought to the fore- Paleo Politics, meaning an old fashioned type of political opinion. The idea that Western civilization is the highest form of life, and is indeed what is meant by ‘civilization’ itself. And that isolation...2020-07-1713 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeExercise your FEET!Send us a textIn this time of coronavirus alarm, lawless rioting, looting, and rampant mindless destruction, sometimes we have to be- well, more grounded. Hopefully you, like me, have found a safe, rural tribal homeland within your own country that is safe and civilized. If so, you are necessary in a rural area, far from large, modern, lawless and Democrat run cities! Congratulations, paleo friend. This is job #1 for you and your family. Safety and wellness always come first, and that means caring for your own health and wellness. Good...2020-07-0412 min
PaleoJays Smoothie CafeBlack Crimes Matter on PaleoJays Smoothie CafeSend us a textOh, so PaleoJay is racist?No. A race realist, perhaps. Races do differ, just as do different breeds of dogs. But, that is just common sense, or at least it used to be.Currently, we are embroiled in an endless war of ethnicities warring endlessly, sparring for dominance. It is so stupid really, overall. We should all be treated equally, totally and completely, under the law!!We live in the USA after all, a com...2020-06-1715 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeYour Forever Home podcastSend us a text Let’s talk today about the notion of home. I notice that nowadays, when people talk about where they live, the inevitably talk about resale value, and even decorate and landscape and add improvements mainly with this in mind- RESALE value, as if what they sell their place for someday is far more important than actually making it more and more into their home- the place where they intend to stay, and where their family and friends, and indeed all the things that make them them...2020-06-0911 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeAll is Maintenance!Send us a textWhen we think of important virtues in life, we think of things like goodness and honesty. Very general concepts indeed- helpful as far as they go, but so general as to be largely meaning almost anything at all if you think of it.I think what most of us struggle to understand is simply that life, overall, is about maintenance.If you make a promise, or resolve to do something, that is one thing. But it is the maintaining of...2020-05-2811 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeDestress Yourself- in Nature! podcastSend us a textFirst of all- my FIRST commercial break EVER in over 11 years on this podcast of ancestral, paleo health and ever evolving into more and more. http://www.jessthornton.orgThis is my author link, which is another career path of mine.

I remember back in the 1960’s (yes, I am old enough- 68- to remember those days well), when to be liberal, a college student say, wearing flowers and patched jeans, meant that protests were about free speech! While no hippy, I recognized the intellectual honesty and freedom of that notion of freedom of speech, and I concurred completely. They talked about the Vietnam war at the time, which Lyndon...2020-04-2911 min

That is the quote that has been used by so many on the Left for bad ideas and policies, but we can also use it positively, in our favor as ancestral living people. Most of us in what are called ‘non-essential’ jobs (as if any real work is ‘non-essential’, really) are now staying at home, only venturing forth for necessities. Although this is really painful for most of us (we are social beings after all), we can use this time in our favor! Instead of j...2020-04-0509 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeThe PlagueSend us a textA plague had entered the land. Thousands were dying, and thousands upon thousands more would follow, unless it could be stopped. The wise doctors struggled to find a cure, but for now the only thing that would slow the wild spreading of the disease was for people to stay apart, to not allow the spreading of the virulent virus that rushed from person to person, spreading quick and sure death!But by staying at home, and apart, commerce perforce ended within the country, and the specter of hunger and pr...2020-03-2507 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeA Virus that Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Stronger PJSC podcastSend us a textI spent today enjoying my social distancing! I got up early (as usual), and watched the morning news. Stock market way down, but stabilizing. I enjoy watching Maria Bartiroma (anyone else notice that she looks exactly like the young Sophia Loren?), and getting the gist of the events facing our nation. As I watched, I was exercising as I always do. My thoughts clarify if I am flexing and sculpting my body methodically as I watch. Disciplined thoughts flow from a disciplined body, I have found. I did pushups today for high re...2020-03-1807 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeRebuild your Face on PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe podcastSend us a textIn health and wellness, much is made of building the muscles, and even ligaments and tendons of the body stronger and more healthy. This can be done by exercising correctly, ala Perfectly Paleo Exercise, where the body is briefly taxed near to its limits using isometrics, virtual resistance where the musculature is taxed by generating its own resistance. Isometrics, and calisthenics such as high rep or slow cadence pushups, pull-ups, sit-ups, etc.All of this is wonderful stuff, and goes along perfectly with a paleo type of diet- a...2020-03-0910 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeWork Out Like 4 Year Old on PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe podcastSend us a textMost people work out all wrong! They get in their car, and drive to a gym to exercise. Or, if they have wised up over time- they skip all of that, and have a home gym setup at home, in their garage or basement. That is fine, and what I have done for many years; the idea of driving to a gym and working out is fine in high school or college, and is how I exercised throughout my early 20’s. It’s a good way to learn…Then, you...2020-02-2113 min
PaleoJays Smoothie CafeYour Vegetables Want You Dead!Send us a textI know: sad but true! Even broccoli, and to a greater extent the holy spinach wants to kill you and yours. Because they, just like any animal, want to survive. And, if you eat them, put them in salads, load your smoothie with them, or butter the grains that also want to kill you and eat them as toast- they will have their revenge!You may have heard this said before, but it seems we all forget it- animals have teeth and claws (to fight for survival) or els...2020-02-1009 min

Undeservedly, at least for the most part. Carnivore is cool, and I will admit it has a place, as does Keto. Both, in my mind, have a therapeutic use, meaning that in certain conditions and with certain autoimmune problems, they might be the perfect fit.But, for a lifelong diet- no. You want a diet heavy in plants, loaded with micronutrients, and above all- ancestral. The easiest way to to that nowadays, with our de...2020-01-2409 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeBig Cities are Now Dangerous JunglesSend us a textSad but true! I want for you to go out into nature each and every day that you can, to immerse yourself into that environment from which we evolved, and to which we are ultimately best suited. To go out into the woods, to enjoy the solitude, and breeze ruffling your hair, while you traverse the natural ground as humans have done for millenia uncounted- this is to restore, to recharge both our minds, bodies and spirits. It is a kind of ‘reboot’ of our modern, hectic lives back into our natural, true selves...2020-01-1513 min
PaleoJays Smoothie CafeLeftist Globalists are the Enemy of Your Tribe podcastSend us a textWaste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.” – Marcus AureliusIn the Western tradition of civilization, the chief hallmark is that of individual autonomy, meaning each free individual within that most successful of all tribes can speak their mind freely, and live as they see fit for themselves and their families!

An elite person, surrounded by other elites he has ch...2019-12-3016 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeAvoid Modern Witch Doctors- Do it Yourself podcastSend us a textI don’t really mean to be provocative, but I must state the obvious: the awe in which many hold medical doctors is ridiculous. I see it constantly: doctors, and the medical clinics and hospitals that employ them, are so special and so necessary- Science brought to our lives!Nonsense. Most medical professionals know a very tiny amount about health. What they do know about is disease, and that is what they focus on. And what they do, when you come in to be examin...2019-12-1909 min
PaleoJays Smoothie CafeResponsibility is the Meaning of Your Life on PaleoJay's Smoothie CafeSend us a textWe live nowadays in a highly complex, interdependant Western civilization. This means that every person within that complex TRIBE needs to pull their own weight, and MORE!Only by such action have we built this amazing edifice where machinery works, where our huge cities used to work (more on that later), and science and progress continues onward, unabated. It is by adult men, primarily, realizing that their purpose in life is to work hard to assist others, and to stop those other men who do not do so...2019-11-2913 min
PaleoJays Smoothie CafeDefend Borders, End Welfare, and Save Civilization on PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe podcastSend us a textIn other words, don’t go down the same path as ancient Rome. Rome, which lasted roughly 1000 years, spent the first 500 as a republic of small landholders, who also took time off from their farms and shops to defend the country. They had a strong aversion to kings and other sorts of authoritarian rulers and governments, and pioneered the form of republicanism. This republic was a very efficient and effective government, and one which nourished freedom of speech and the individual. Free men are much better as wariors, since...2019-11-1411 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeBe Your Own Batman on PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe podcastSend us a textI know- this sounds like an extremely unlikely focus for a paleo podcast: you know, eating and living in accordance with our genetic programming, living ancestrally in the manner (as much as possible) in which we evolved. But bear with me…Aside from eating ancestrally (no grains, or at least very little and properly prepared ones like with sour dough ala Weston A. Price), adequate pastured meats, eggs, and dairy along with plenty of vegetables and some fruits like berries or citrus, and sweetening with raw honey and map...2019-10-2909 min
PaleoJays Smoothie CafeCrucial Exercise You Ignore on PaleoJay's Smoothie CafeSend us a textYou should address each and every part of your body on a daily, or at least near-daily basis! For me, each day when I arise, I go through a brief limbering session right away, in the bathroom before going downstairs- rotating all of my joints, and gradually awakening with deep breathing and simple mobility movements. (I hesitate to call them ‘exercises’, since they are simple, easy, and enjoyable, taking a maximum of 2-3 minutes total).Next, downstairs, I brew my coffee, feed the cats, and go into my workou...2019-10-0813 minPaleoJays Smoothie CafeYour MD is a Snake Oil Salesman podcast on PaleoJays Smoothie CafeSend us a textNow I don’t mean that all doctors are snake oil peddlers, showing up on your Main street with bottles of white lightning mixed with cocaine like they did in the old days… but, in many cases, not only are their many prescriptions often worthless, many are downright harmful.

Our ethnic differences, in other words are true diversity in the type of human that we are defines us. If you are of European descent, for instance, or white Caucasion, you are a part of what is the smallest ethnic tribe on earth, and shrinking.
