Dear Mark: Coronavirus Questions

Okay, so this situation is upon us. There's no denying that all anyone can focus on is the coronavirus.

I asked across different venues for your questions and concerns about the topic. I tried to get to as many as I could. Let's get into it.

Primal Provisioning for Staying Home

Where I live, a lot of people saw the writing on the wall at the end of last week and prepared to self-quarantine. Stores were suddenly packed as people stocked up with the necessary supplies to stay home for several weeks.

If you haven’t stocked your homes with supplies that will allow you to avoid going out as much as possible, now’s the time. I’m going to focus on prepping your kitchen today. Don’t forget the other parts, though: prescription and over-the-counter medicines, basic hygiene (soap, laundry detergent), pet food.

10 Ways to Stop Self-Sabotage

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients who’ve battled their self-sabotage demons and you can, too. It starts by understanding the science behind why you do it. When your logical, conscious mind has a goal that is at odds with your subconscious mind, your subconscious or “inner critic” tries to protect you and keep you safe from potential failure by sabotaging your efforts. Primal Health Coach Erin Power gives her tips for ending the self-sabotage cycle.

No-Dairy Dirty Chai Latte

A little sweet, a lot spiced, and topped with cloud-like frothed (or warmed) milk, a chai latte is black tea steeped with milk as well as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and often black pepper, fennel, and ginger. Add a shot or two of espresso to make a dirty chai latte. To find a Primal and Primal-keto version, forego the coffee house and make your own at home with the new Primal Kitchen Chai Tea Collagen Keto Latte mix.

Primal Pantry and Freezer Recipes

In times when you’re staying home and trying to avoid going out or ordering food out, it counts to have plenty of Primal-friendly pantry and frozen foods. Of course, we love our Big-Ass Salads, fresh produce, free-range poultry, grass-fed beef, and organic eggs, but when those staple fresh items run low or out, a strategically-stocked pantry and freezer can keep you nourished.

Learn how to substitute fresh produce for frozen in recipes, the best ways to prepare large cuts of defrosted meats, and how to use pantry items like chia seeds, nut flours, collagen, and canned or vacuum-packed foods (those are Palmini noodles in the recipe photo above, for example) to make satisfying meals.
