CRAIG’S LIST (stuff I’m reading or listening to.. or talking about):
Let Me Tell You About CrossFit 7 or 8 years old, but still the same amazing place.
“I Tried Intermittent Fasting For A Year: Here’s What I Discovered”. Piper Steele, Medium Jul 25th. Many Diablo members are IF advocates. This is a quick read of one person’s experience. Needless to say, she’s a convert. “I used to have all kinds of stomach issues — bloating, gas, irritable bowel syndrome — but not since I started intermittent fasting and low carb. My stomach issues are gone. Just gone.”
Acute exercise has beneficial effects on the immune system in prostate cancer survivors. College of Arts & Sciences via Rhonda Patrick. “Exercise helps the immune system mobilize by causing NK cells to move into the blood and be transported them to areas of need, such as sites of infection or tumors.”
Netflix “Un-Well” Episode 1: Essential Oils – This is a documentary exploring the exploding natural wellness market. Episode 1 covered the essential oil business. It was a well-balanced presentation and made no claims either way. However, the real disturbing part of the Essential Oil market is that it is dominated by two very large and wealthy multi-level marketing companies that have exploited many eager entrepreneurs.
Make it an awesome outdoor week!
Craig
