This week Brett interviews Glen Lomman from BPM Holistic Wellness and Adelaide Paleo about his personal journey and his experiences with cold thermogenesis.

Find out why people are deliberately dunking themselves into ice baths, how breath work is an important part of the process and just who is this crazy dutchman they call The Ice Man. Tune in for a fascinating episode of That Paleo Show.

TPS 249: The wisdom of Grandma

This week Brett interviews owner of Tribali Foods Angela Mavridis about what she learnt from her Greek Yiayia (grandma) and how it has influenced her food philosophy and now her company. Growing up in America as the daughter of a fast food hamburger shop owner Angela was heavily inflenced by summer vacations to Greece in her youth and so after a time spent being vegan, vegetarian, raw and overdoing the protein shakes, bars and supplements she returned to her roots for her own diet, embracing real food sources of healthy fats and proteins. Sufficiently inspired she now helps others get an easy source of healthy protein with her beef pattie range that is quickly expanding into an even bigger range.
