Robb Wolf is a former research biochemist and 2X New York Times/Wall Street Journal Best-selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat and co-author of Sacred Cow, which explains why well-raised meat is good for us and the planet. Robb, one of the best-known names in the Paleo movement, has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide via his top-ranked iTunes podcast, books, and seminars. He co-founded the 1st and 4th CrossFit affiliate gyms in the world and then went on to co-found LMNT Electrolytes. Robb also holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, is a former California State Powerlifting Champion, and is a 6-0 amateur kickboxer.  It’s been almost ten years since my first appearance on Robb’s Paleo Solution podcast, with the interview that ultimately launched NBT as a business. Today, Robb and I discuss the Paleo movement and why it declined in popularity, his latest business and personal ventures, his current love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and why you might like to try the sport, too. We also discuss red flags when choosing a gym, preventing injuries during BJJ, and staying sharp as you age.
