I just wanted to give you all a quick update on the blog and podcast. As you’ve no doubt noticed, I haven’t been writing or publishing new episodes as regularly as I usually do. If you’ve guessed that has something to do with the recent birth of my daughter Sylvie, you’d be right. 
I feel like I’m just now getting back in the saddle. The plan is to return to a more regular schedule for the podcast and blog. Starting next Tuesday, a new episode of the podcast will be published every other week. Blog articles will be published – for the most part – every other week on either Thursdays or Fridays.
Since I’ve retired The Healthy Skeptic name here on the blog, Danny and I are also planning to rename the podcast. We haven’t settled on a name yet (if you have any ideas, leave them in the comments section.) This won’t affect the feed or your subscription to it. One day you’ll just notice that it has a different graphic and name.
I’ve also got a couple of exciting projects in the works. It’s too early to say much about them, but I can give you a little hint. One is related to weight loss for those who’ve tried everything without success and the other is related to creating your own customized Paleo-type diet – rather than following a canned approach. I’ll keep you posted as they develop!
Happy Fall!

Really looking forward to the next podcast!
Possibly corny, but The Health Detective might be cool…
GMTA
Yeah, fits with the intro music too!
How about calling the podcast “The Health Detective”?
I’m pretty sure you should call it “I’m Batman!”
Customised Paleo sounds really interesting and original. Can’t wait.
Call it “Gut Justice.”
How about “beyond dogma” (funny little dog graphic), and if you’re not afraid of a little cheese, the tagline could be “sniffing out the deeper truths about health and nutrition”.
….or “Intrepid investigations into deeper nutrition (and/or health)”…..
Chris, I can’t wait for your thoughts on how to lose that stubborn weight. I’ve been agonizing about it for a few years now. I lost 75 pounds in 2000 on Protein Power, gained back 45 over the years. Low-carb will not work like it did before. Grrrr… I’ve been scouring the web trying to learn why. Several theories seem reasonable but not very helpful. I’ve tried reducing my low-carb/high-fat/adequate protein calories but then just get hungry and eat what I shouldn’t. My weight won’t budge. I’m so frustrated!
I thought Kris Kresser “health detective” as well, I think it will draw attention without anyone being confused about content. I don’t think it’s corny either, just accurate. Good luck and I’m looking forward to whatever is upcoming.
PS. I just wanted to add that I think if you get too cerebral or clever with the name that the average Joe looking for health advice, i.e. myself, will just pass over it and open something like Jillian Micheals. So keep it simple. Peace!!!!
How about the “Ancestral Health Detective”?
Sorry, “CHRIS” Kresser, my bad.
…”the healthy life code”
What’s good for baby is good for Daddy.. and Uncle Danny
So I like “Healthy Human Code” or “Health Decoded”. I would stay away from paleo/primal/ancestral labels, as you never know how your info will evolve.
Love you guys
deb
I suggested ” The Alpha-Beta Strike Force Delta Podcast,” but Chris didn’t approve.
Danny I love the ABSFD!
So far Health Detective wins by far. Staying with the theme, how about “Investigative Health” or “Decoding Health” podcast?
awesome man! thanks for all the wonderful work you do!!!
Chris Kresser the Health Investigator (like Bill Nye the Science Guy)
or anything that rhymes with ‘Kresser’ at the end
Hi Chris,
I’m a big fan of the blog and podcast. You have definitely opened up my eyes to some issues with lowcarb eating. Thanks to you and PHD I’ve adjusted my diet (safe starches, real fish rather than capsules, etc). After a month my uric acid levels have plummeted. Hopefully this addresses this issue with kidney stones that I have encountered since going low carb now paleo several years ago…
I’m a big fan of Ken Wilber and his Integral philosophy, stating his integral approach he says that we should, “exercise body, mind, and spirit in self, nature, and culture”. I find your approach to be similar, so one recommendation for your blog/podcast would be “Integral Health”?? Rational Health? Best of luck with your endeavors.
The Healthy Human Code is good for an eventual book title, but not so much for the podcast.
George, what changes did you make to your paleo diet to reduce your uric acid levels?
The Health Detective might work for the podcast, although it suggests you would be trying to solve hard cases. That is a big part of what you do, but you don’t do that on the podcast (although I suppose you could–that would be interesting.
Hallo Chris,
. Do you or your wife take Iodine?
maybe you could write about your experience with your patients with Iodine and Hashimoto? I would really looking forward

Hi Chris,
I’m a HUGE fan of your work and have been about 80% paleo for about 8 months now. I’ve lost about 30 lbs and am a crossfitter (about 4x a week). I seem to have reached a stalling point in my journey to a healthier me, I can’t loose the extra fat! I’m hovering around 24% (and have been here for about 4 months) but have a goal to be sub 20% by the end of the year (I currently weigh about 153 and am 5’7.5″). I’m wondering if maybe I should take a closer look into investigative medicine. I’m generally pretty symptom free but do seem to wake up for about an hour or so around 3 am, I get occasional skin rashes/hives. I’ve never had ANY type of blood test done and am curious to know if you can recommend a Dr. in the Santa Barbara area. I’d also be interested in a consultation from you.
Thanks so much for all you do and looking forward to hearing back from you! Check out my blog http://www.sheshredss.wordpress.com
Live to Thrive,
Lauren
Hi Lauren,
I don’t know anyone in Santa Barbara, unfortunately. I’d be happy to work with you, but I have a 9-week wait list for new patients currently. If you’re okay with that, head over to http://chriskresser.com/appointment to set up an initial consult.

Travis: probably the best bet would be to take a research methodology course at your local community college, or try to find one online. It’s much easier to learn that way than from a book.
Hi Chris. On Sean’s show earlier this year you made a statement that we should not worry about Mercury in fish. You stated that most fish are high enough in Selenium to offset the negative effects of the mercury. Two quick questions: I can’t seem to support your comments that most fish are high in selenium. Can you support that with studies? Can you please provide or point me in the right direction for research that supports your comments that Selenium will protect us against the harmful effects of the mercury? Including pregnant women? Thanks for you time. Steve
