Good day, Australia. The Primal Hotbed.

Something beautiful is happening across the Pacific Ocean.

For years, I've sensed a strange primal energy coming off the waves that pound the

Malibu coast, carried across the water from a distant nation whose people have embraced

ancestral health and fitness more viscerously than any other.

The citizens of this country read my blog, attended primal cons, and take the primal

blueprint expert certification course in disproportionate numbers relative to their population.

A revolutionary chain of primal cafes, Thrive, spelled with a one, has sprung up around the major cities,

offering breakfast and lunch bowls, healthy smoothies and coffee blends,

and to go fair, whose ingredients you don't have to second guess.

The climate ranges from gorgeous coastline to tropical rainforest to expansive desert, to Mediterranean mildness,

promoting, enabling, and basically shoving nature appreciation down their collective throats.

And that universal bellwether of widespread paleo acceptance, the emergence of the CrossFit box

has exploded across the country.

Australians may be thousands of miles away, but they feel pretty close to me.

Why, though? What makes Australia such a hotbed for the primal lifestyle?

Several national characteristics converge to explain its unique and special relationship with ancestral health.

Food culture

Australia is a young nation that hasn't had much time to develop a single overarching national food culture or cuisine.

Insert, shrimp on Bobby, joke here.

Unfortunate?
