Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Not Just Paleo. I am so happy to be back with you all. I can actually talk this week and it's a good feeling. So thanks for joining me on the show. Today's guest is Tara Grant and she is the author of a book called The Hidden Plague that I was lucky enough to get a copy of. And she is under the primal blueprint

publishing company that Marxist and has developed. And she has a crazy condition called Hydranitis

Seprativa, which is a very poorly understood skin condition. It's believed to affect nearly 12 million people in the United States.

So only a small fraction of those people have been properly diagnosed. And many people end up

suffering from this because the doctors have no idea how to treat this thing. So they're using

antibiotics. They're doing surgeries. They're doing skin grafts to remove the skin condition.

Basically what it is, it's boil cyst, ingrown hairs, acne-like bumps.

Some of them take a very long time to heal themselves.

And some of them cause pain and some of them leak out things.

So we're going to get into what this stuff

actually is in this book here. And we're going to talk about some other subjects, too. There's

actually a lot of other stuff that Tara likes to focus on, including, you know, just giving

people information about leptin and giving people information about hormones and what she's done

and she's actually combined everything out in the paleo community and the primal community

and kind of merged it all into one book so you know she used uh you know our previous guest sarah

the paleo mom she used some of her stuff she used a couple other people's stuff and combined that into her own book and then added

her own research and personal experience to try to make sense of all this health and fitness

picture.

So I will let you get into the show.

I'm really happy to be back with you all.

I'll tell you it was a rough week or two, but man, I'm happier than

ever to be back. Things just seem to be getting better in my life. And, you know, while you may
