Primal Life Kit: Feed Your Brain

UPDATE April 10, 2013: This special sale is now over, but you can still buy the individual products. Be sure to check out the excellent ebooks, meal plans, magazines, and paleo products below!

Ah, Spring! It’s a great time to start thinking about fresh starts, getting outside, and emerging from winter hibernation… unless you live in Texas like me, in which case it’s already hot and muggy and all you want to do is stay in the air conditioning and read good books. Ahem. Anyway…

Neely Quinn, author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Paleo and the founder of the Paleo Plan web site invited me to be part of a really great package called The Primal Life Kit, and I’m excited to share it with you guys. It’s more than a bundle of books! The Primal Life Kit includes ebooks I haven’t seen before, plus meal plans, magazines, and discounts on badass paleo products. The Kit is worth $485, but the cost is only $39. Here’s what you get:

• 22 ebooks (in PDF format)
• 2 meal plans
• 3 magazine subscriptions
• 2 fitness programs
• 1 short audio book
• 8 discount codes

What’s in the Primal Life Kit?

I think my favorite ebook in the Kit — besides Well Fed, of course — is The Obstacle Course Race Training Program. Back in the day, I really, really, really wanted to get good at parkour. It was all part of my plan to be an international spy (see posts here, here, and here for my previous attempts at badassery). The PDF of the obstacle course training program isn’t super fancy, but it’s packed with great training ideas that require very little equipment. It’s perfect for our upcoming trip to Europe and my re-commitment to superhero/spy training. I’m also super excited about the subscription to The Performance Menu (plus back issues!) — such a great magazine!

What I like about this Kit, as you’ll see below, is that it covers some of the practical challenges of living paleo — like affording high-quality food and dealing with autoimmune challenges — and really is an educational tool kit for navigating life as a paleo person in a non-paleo world.
