As you know from the popularity of the Primal Health Coach program and the 2017 launch of the Primal Endurance Online Mastery Course, we have made a sincere commitment to extend our educational offerings into online, self-study content that you can enjoy at your own pace from the comfort of your home. Today I’m announcing two fabulous new courses that will take your healthy living goals to the next level in 2018:
The Keto Reset Mastery Course: We bring the New York Times bestselling book to life with over 100 videos, along with extensive audio and print programming—the most comprehensive online course on all aspects of ketogenic diet and lifestyle ever developed.
Paleo Cooking Bootcamp: A step-by-step meal preparation course that allows you to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner options for an entire week in a single, highly focused two-hour power cooking session. Four sessions make for a month-long bootcamp.
Following are some details about the courses, including fabulous promo videos, comprehensive websites, offers for free sneak previews, and a one-time bonus offer for Primal Kitchen products with incredible savings. When you enroll in these courses, you receive immediate login instructions to your student portal, filled with downloadable or streaming videos, audio programming, and pdf books and written resources. You can proceed through these courses at your own pace on desktop, pad, or mobile device.
The Mastery Course is filled with the most comprehensive keto-related educational material you can get anywhere: 100+ videos, many hours of audio programming, and several eBooks—including The Keto Reset Diet Glyph Notes (like Clif Notes, an executive summary of the book content). You’ll also receive individualized support from our expert staff via email, and group support with our thriving Keto Reset Facebook Group.
The enrollment fee is a very reasonable $147, as the curriculum has been compared to a year-long upper division course in the health sciences. The Keto Reset Mastery Course gives you all the support you need to attain the ultimate goal of metabolic flexibility—the ability to burn a variety of fuel sources at any particular time to meet your body’s needs, with the emphasis on efficiently burning stored body fat and ketones.
As detailed in the book and in other posts, The Keto Reset Mastery Course takes a measured, methodical approach to go keto the right way, as opposed to the increasingly common shortcut approach that brings a high risk of failure and backsliding. The fad status of keto has confused people into thinking that it’s all about a sudden and severe restriction of carbs for quick weight loss, or stuffing your face with fat in order to generate high values on blood or breath testing. This is a distortion of the big picture goal of metabolic flexibility—becoming expert at burning a variety of fuels, especially stored body fat and ketones as needed.
The Keto Reset Mastery Course emphasizes a sensible, intuitive approach where you never struggle or suffer in the name of keto, and one where you still get to enjoy your life along the way. Yes, the first part of your journey entails a disciplined elimination of the big-three most offensive modern foods—grains, sugars, and refined vegetable oils, and a 100 percent commitment is necessary. Later, when fully-prepared, you will engage in a focused, six-week period of nutritional ketosis. This can take some extra effort and attention even for the most hard core Primal eaters. However, when you complete the entire Keto Reset journey as presented, you will enjoy metabolic flexibility benefits that will last for years to come—even if you decide over the long run to eat more carbs than is warranted for keto.
If you’re interested in keto and want to do things the right way, with maximum support and guidance, or if you aren’t quite sure about keto and want to get full exposure before proceeding, enrolling in the Mastery Course will give you everything you need to succeed. The book is great, but the Mastery Course offers the most impactful educational experience imaginable.
This innovative online course is inspired by creator Katie French’s live class that she presented in the San Francisco Bay Area, where it won the prestigious “Best of SF” designation by San Francisco Magazine.
At the original Paleo Cooking Bootcamp, Katie’s students would gather at cooking stations in a commercial kitchen, follow Katie’s tightly organized prep and cooking sequences for two hours, and then drive away each weekend with tupperwares filled with delicious entrees, snacks and treats to eat in style during another hectic week.
Katie has now brought her intentional cooking method into digital format so you can join her and the featured students in the course—real-life busy moms and career folks trying to up their game in the kitchen—every step of the way.
First, you’ll get a precise grocery list for each week’s Bootcamp session, along with extensive written supporting materials to help you better navigate the videos. Then, you’ll follow along in real time through the recipe preparation videos. Even if you’re a cooking novice, you can jump right in and build the skills and efficiency to quickly increase your confidence and enjoyment with meal preparation.
The complete Bootcamp program consists of four weekend cooking sessions (each lasting two hours), that enable you to eat delicious, paleo-approved meals for an entire month. This is a fantastic way to build momentum for a major dietary transition, or enjoy delicious meals without having to worry about shopping and preparing from scratch every time. Anyone will admit that a two-hour time investment on the weekend is worth the bounty it delivers to ease your everyday meal preparation stress and improve your adherence to healthy eating goals, but making it happen requires a precise, intentional approach where no time is wasted. Paleo Cooking Bootcamp takes the guesswork out of the equation and let’s you go straight the fun stuff in the kitchen!

Birth trauma in mothers is a term used to describe postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (P-PTSD). According to Postpartum Support International, P-PTSD affects around nine percent of women.
The root cause for this illness is trauma during birth. It is important to note that said trauma can be either real or perceived. What this means is that the birthing experience could have a deep and negative impact on the mother if she perceives something traumatic has occurred, or if something traumatic does indeed occur.
Some examples of situations that can trigger postpartum PTSD include but are not limited to:
Reading the list above we may be tempted to think that some of the reasons presented — mainly, the medical emergencies — seem more “legitimate” or “make more sense” for resulting in postpartum PTSD. This, however, represents a problematic narrative in how we view, judge, score, and value women’s birthing experiences.
It is imperative to remember that each woman’s individual experience is valuable, unique, and can have a long-lasting impact on her life.
Furthermore, it’s necessary to explore our own beliefs and biases on the matter, since lack of support is likely to be the primary reason why mothers who suffer from this illness hesitate to ask for help. By recognizing P-PTSD as a legitimate illness, we can be better equipped to identify its signs and be of help.
For a diagnosis of PTSD to be established, the occurrence of an event considered beyond the range of usual human experience is required. Symptoms involve a triad of responses, including:
In order for a diagnosis of PTSD to be made, these symptoms must last at least one month following the event, and must also cause impairment in day-to-day life [1].
As with the PTSD experienced by war veterans, some other symptoms that may occur as a consequence of P-PTSD include:
P-PTSD has also been linked to instances of sexual avoidance, problems with the process of mother-infant attachment or with parenting, and fear of childbirth [2].
Considering the debilitating symptoms of this disorder, and their effect on the social, occupational, psychological and communicative functioning of the mother with her baby and her family, being aware of the possibility of this disorder occurring after delivery, and recognizing the risk factors, is an important issue [2].
A clear distinction must be made between P-PTSD and Postpartum Depression (PPD), even though some overlap may be present since both illnesses can display some of the same symptoms. Still, each illness is unique and should be treated individually.
Postpartum depression is more commonly recognized, and those experiencing it will likely encounter some of the following symptoms [3]:
Again, while many of the symptoms overlap with those of Postpartum PTSD, we must recognize each illness is a completely different and individual matter.
A doctor diagnosing for one or both of these illnesses will have a checklist of key elements to help distinguish those suffering P-PTSD from mothers battling postpartum depression.
Although there is no surefire way to inoculate a woman against the potential development of postpartum PTSD, some research shows promising benefits of having a loved or trusted person who can encourage the woman throughout her laboring process: explaining what is happening, touching, reassuring, supporting, praising, being continuously present, and advocating for her.
For most women, this tends to be the father of their baby or significant other such as their husband or partner, although this role can also be successfully fulfilled by a relative, close friend, or doula (professional birth coach).
Needless to say, the impact of birth trauma — and its potential to deplete a mother’s ability to care for herself — cannot be understated. As coaches, thanks to our close relationships with our clients and how well we get to know them, we can oftentimes be the first line of defense when it comes to help identifying a number of challenges they are experiencing.
If you encounter a client who is suffering or might be suffering from P-PTSD, it is important that you coach from a place of deep compassion.
Remember that this woman is very likely to already be judging herself harshly, and potentially experiencing upsetting thoughts about herself.
As health and fitness professionals, there is no need for any judgment on our part, as this may lead our client to withdraw and shut down. Instead, consider the following guidelines:
Actively listen to your client. Let her know you empathize with her struggle and that you feel deeply for the pain she is enduring.
Normalizing doesn’t mean disregarding your client’s pain as unimportant since she’s “not the only one going through this” — all the opposite!
Normalizing the situation in a gentle and compassionate manner is meant to help her bridge feelings of loneliness and isolation.
For more analytical clients, statistics showing the prevalence of birth trauma in our society may be helpful. In the case of more connection-driven clients, showing them that they are not alone and that you will continue to care, love and support them regardless of the conflict they’re experiencing will be key.
Ideally, you will have a roaster of trusted professionals in different relevant fields to whom you can refer clients when needed. Making relevant connections with health professionals of different fields will be very beneficial to your client’s well-being and your coaching relationship. Some professionals to keep in mind include:
Encourage ConnectionOne of the most beneficial steps when it comes to addressing birth trauma is for the woman to connect with a group of other women who can understand her deeply because they’ve experienced the same. Finding a support group where she can receive companionship and true empathy will almost certainly represent a step in the right direction. The resources and professionals listed above can help find the correct place.
Above all, please be mindful to avoid invalidating a woman’s experience.
We invalidate a woman’s experience and accompanying emotions when we make statements that subtract importance and magnitude from what she is feeling:
“You’re lucky your baby is alive and well.”
“Well, that’s all done now.”
“It could have been much worse.”
“Others have it so much worse.”
“It’s time to move on, to get over it.”
In fact, these often-used phrases confirm the woman’s fears: No one understands. No one gets it. I am alone in this. Something must be wrong with me. It is safe to conclude that none of this will be conducive to her seeking further help or resolution, but instead may motivate her to withdraw and shut down further, much to her and her family’s detriment.
Instead, use words of affirmation, empathy and deep support:
“Speaking up is so courageous and the first step into healing.”
“I am here for you, no matter what.”
“I wish I could take your pain away.”
“You are not alone.”
“I admire your strength.”
“You are so brave to be confronting this.”
“Thank you so much for trusting me with this.”
“You are so resilient, I am fortunate to know you.”
The good news in an otherwise harrowing and difficult situation is that postpartum PTSD is treatable and oftentimes reversed when diagnosed appropriately. In fact, women have reported that having the opportunity to talk with someone about their birth experience was helpful in facilitating their recovery [4].
Various avenues for treatment and intervention exist, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group therapy, psychotherapy, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and in some cases, medication.
All in all, we owe it to ourselves as a society to remain mindful of the existence and prevalence of postpartum PTSD, so we can be a more timely and effective impact on our vulnerable mothers’ health and well-being. This will in turn result in more solid and positive bonding experiences for mother and baby, and a positive impact on our society’s family dynamics.

It’s time for the article that should hopefully shape the rest of your weight loss journey for the better. Let’s first start out with a fact: your metabolism, or your body’s ability to burn calories, has a ceiling. We can increase the number of calories we burn in a day with activity, but there are limits. If all we do is sit on a couch versus running three miles, we will burn more calories. However, if we run six miles versus three miles, we see the increase of calories burned at this distance is less than the 0 to 3 mile option.
