The following Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Marksissons and is narrated by Brock Armstrong.

Brock didn't take supplements, so why should I?

The definitive guide to primal supplementation.

Disclaimer.

I derive most of my income from selling supplements.

We don't talk too much about it here on Mark's Daily Apple,

but I get enough questions on the topic that I felt it was time to explain exactly

why I chose to manufacture and take certain supplements.

The main objective of following the primal blueprint is to extract the healthiest, happiest,

longest, and most productive life possible from our bodies, and to look and feel good in the

process. Our 10,000-year-old primal genes expect us to emulate the way our ancestors ate and moved,

and the primal blueprint says we should do exactly as they expect.

While there are many things that we can do, or eat, today, that very closely approximate

what Grock did to trigger positive gene expression, there are also a number

of obstacles that can thwart our attempts to be as primal as possible. Artificial light prompts us to stay up

too late and sleep too little. Electronic entertainment competes for our time when we should be out

walking and basking in sunlight. We don't always have access to ideal foods.

We shower too much in water that's too hot. We use medicines to mask our symptoms instead of

allowing our bodies to deal directly with the problem. You get my point. It's tough going full

primal today.

One of my tasks is to find the shortcuts. The easiest way to get the same genetic expression benefits Grock got, but by using 21st century technology or just plain old common sense.
