Hey, this is Evan Brand. I just want to give a quick shout out to everyone who I met at PaleoFX.

It was incredibly fun. It was awesome to meet every single one of you all.

Thank you so much for your continued support of this show and my blog.

And we're going to continue to keep bringing you amazing guests and podcasts like this one.

So if you leave a review in iTunes, thank you so much.

Let's get to it.

Well, hey, everybody.

This is Evan Brand, back with the Not Just Paleo podcast.

We have a special guest, Mike Elgin today, and he is from Spartan Diet.org.

And I found Mike just by browsing the Internet, and I heard about the Spartan diet.

So we had to get them on the show just since a lot of

the aspects are related to the paleo diet. So Mike, welcome to the show. Thank you very much,

Evan. Glad to be on it. So as I just mentioned, a lot of our listeners are familiar and followers of

the paleo diet. And we've had great results so

whether it's curing eczema or other autoimmune conditions from a more strict paleo diet you know

there's a lot of great results that are coming out of this thing so could you just give us a little

bit of background on you and tell us how you kind of created this Spartan diet?

Is this something that came from history or is this something that you've kind of manipulated yourself?

Well, the Spartan diet is partly from history, partly from science, partly from the practice my wife has had for many years doing counseling and teaching about food

and cooking, stuff like that. But we get a lot of very interesting inspiration, facts, and ideas

from ancient Spartan and ancient Greek culture.

And, you know, we sort of all came together about five years ago.
