Inside each of us is a unique blueprint – a genetic guide that makes us who we are, and governs our appearance, our personalities, and our health.
While there is a lot that we all have in common, each of us is an individual with particular needs.
Seems like every time you turn around some one else has figured out a ‘secret formula’ for boosting energy, losing fat, building muscle or curing illness.
You’ve heard it all before. You’ve probably tried it all. Maybe you’ve even tried the Paleo Diet (or know someone who has). But either it is too restrictive, or too confusing, or just haven’t found any tools that:
And above all, there are very few programs out there that allow you to personalize the diet and food choices to really fit you… your body, your goals, your life.
There are so many diets floating around today. Each one is presented as if it’s the RIGHT way for everyone.
Many popular diets like The Zone, Atkins and The South Beach Diet prescribe a very specific approach. They might advise people to limit carbohydrates to less than 50 grams per day, for example, or to eat a certain ratio of carbohydrates, fat and protein.
While these programs might work for some, they don’t for others. Or they may work for a short period of time, and then stop working. I bet most of you who’ve tried one of these diets know exactly what I’m talking about.
The problem with a cookie-cutter approach is that we’re not robots. We’re living, breathing human beings with different genetics, constitutions, life circumstances, goals and environments. All of these factors – and more – determine what an ideal diet is for each individual, and what works for one person may not work for another.
Over the past 15 years or so, the “Paleo diet” has gained in popularity. The Paleo diet – which emphasizes the fresh, whole foods human beings have consumed for the vast majority of our evolutionary history – is an great starting place because:
What’s the best diet to follow to lose weight, feel great and prevent disease?
How do you end the confusion, get past the hype, and find something that works for you?
This confusion arises because people are trying to find THE right answer once and for all. The truth is that there is no one right answer anymore than there’s a one size fits all solution to your unique health needs.
The way to resolve this confusion and contradiction is not to find the RIGHT answer, it is to personalize your answer.
There may not be a single right answer for everyone, but there is a right answer for YOU.
Only the Personal Paleo Code can help you discover what YOU should eat to reach your goals right now. Only the Personal Paleo Code can provide answers, guidance, and requirements that grow and change as your needs and goals change.
I developed the Personal Paleo Code as a result of my work with patients – all with unique circumstances and goals – who needed a way to make the Paleo diet work for them.
Your history, body, lifestyle, DNA and needs are unique. So why would your diet be identical to anyone else’s?
Just because you share similar goals, and follow the same Paleo Diet principles, doesn’t mean that the way you apply those principles to your particular life circumstances should be identical to anyone else. There is no single answer, no single diet, no single program for everyone.
I’ve combined over 10 years of education and thousands of hours of research with my experience working with hundreds of patients in my clinic – patients with problems and goals just like yours – and I’ve turned it all into a practical, easy-to-follow system that allows you to personalize your diet, test and measure your results, and get all the support you’ll need to make it work for you. And I’ve done this with a level of passion and commitment that only someone who has had their own personal success story can do.
What is the result of all this work?
The Personal Paleo Code will help you move from confusion and uncertainty about nutrition to clarity and confidence. You’ll find that I’ve been able to simplify the process of starting the diet and transitioning into it with a simple 3-step process, workbooks, targeted support guides, cheat sheets, progress tracking tools, and more.
I’ve created a simple - yet highly effective – system for helping you personalize your diet. I’ll walk you step-by-step through the process just like I do with the patients in my clinic. I’ll be with you every step of the way until it sticks and fits you like a glove.
I’m Chris Kresser, a practitioner of integrative medicine, creator of the popular online health resource, ChrisKresser.com, and creator of the former Healthy Skeptic blog.
In my early 20s, after completing my undergraduate work at UC Berkley, I took off to see the world. While traveling in Indonesia, I got very sick with a tropical illness. After seeing numerous doctors with no results, I realized I would have to take matters into my own hands. This initiated a multi-year quest to heal myself by studying integrative medicine and diving deeply into scientific research. I later graduated from the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, CA and now have a private practice there. I also consult with patients nationally and internationally via telephone and Skype.
In my practice, I focus on helping patients who are motivated to play an active role in their own healing process and who are willing to make the necessary dietary and lifestyle changes to support health and well-being. I then use nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, supplements, stress management, and lifestyle changes to restore proper function. I practice Functional Medicine, which is investigative, holistic, preventative and evidence-based.
If you’re like most of my patients, you’ve tried a lot of diets over the years to try to feel better or lose weight, to boost your energy or improve your health.
Some of them failed, some did nothing at all, and some even worked – at least for a little while. Or maybe they solved some problems (being overweight) but caused others (low energy, hair loss, cold hands and feet).
The biggest success stories with patients in my clinic share these common factors:




What you will end up with is a diet that is personalized exactly for you – a diet that is comprised of foods and guidelines based on your own experience and your own experimentation. You’ll have the solid foundation of a time tested, genetically sound, and scientifically proven philosophy, but with the added personalization that really makes it fit your body, your goals and your life.
But you’ll get more than that…
Changing habits, changing the way you shop, cook and eat can be challenging and time consuming. So, this program also includes tools and support to help make that transition as smooth as possible for you. We focus not only on personalizing the diet, but on helping you fit that diet into your lifestyle. A simplified 3-step process, a motivation guide, and 10 support guides, as well as a personal progress tracking application, make it easy to stick to your personal plan.
Your purchase of this program includes lifetime access to a full online arsenal of information, resources, support, tracking tools, and more:
The main program is divided into three simple stages delivered sequentially over time – making it easier for you to focus on each step and keep up with the program at your own pace.

Chris was the first to tell it like it is: I needed a Paleo-type diet designed for me, in part as an elimination diet to find out what was causing me trouble. He didn’t sugar coat it nor give me half measures. Only by doing it right all the way was I going to get results. And I did.
Between the diet and the extremely specific supplements recommended for me, I have lost 25 pounds, gotten almost all my energy back, almost all joint pain is gone and for the first time in my life my gut is functioning properly. I have stamina, I have been able to go out dancing with my husband for the first time in years without “paying for it” the next day with exhaustion and depression. We’ve taken bike hikes and long walks, and I haven’t had to pull myself up the stairs by the handrail in weeks. Brain fog is gone, I’m able to memorize song after song of lyrics – in Spanish! I feel like I’ve lost 10 years off my age.
Feeling like a whole new person does a lot of things. I’m ready to take on new career challenges that I didn’t have the energy for before, I’m thinking more clearly and living life with gusto instead of sitting like a mushroom wishing I could actually live life. And when my dear hubby is happy that I’m healthier, more energetic, and fitting into clothes I never thought I’d wear again, I’m happy, too!”

After a comprehensive blood panel review, Chris provided me with food guidelines and taught me how to listen to my body. I must admit that the first week was difficult, as I had given up coffee only because I used sugar in it. At the same time, I immediately started sleeping more soundly. By week 2, I started feeling better and noticing a difference in how I feeling after eating a meal or a snack. After the first month, I began to reintroduce foods to see how my body would react.
I continue to use these guidelines today and feel better than I ever have. My overall blood panel resuts improved alot in just 4 months. Additionally, the results I get from my workouts have changed. My body has physically never been in better shape and it continues to get better as I continue to stay committed to working out.
There were two important lessons I learned from Chris. First, nutrition is a highly personal thing–what works for me may not work for others. And second, don’t be dogmatic about using the guidelines. Day in and day out, I’m generally 80-90% paleo-like with my nutrition, but if I find myself having a piece of birthday cake, I simply return to the principles afterward with no guilt or no regret.
I’m grateful to Chris for sharing his knowledge with me.”


Chris’ personalized approach to diet has been very beneficial for me. He was able to target all of these issues and help me make necessary adjustments to resolve each one. As far as the anemia, we were able to add some foods to my diet to help support my digestion and absorption of nutrients. After struggling with headaches for several years, they resolved immediately with Chris’ anti-migraine/anti-headache protocol. With Chris’ help I discovered that I had hypoglycemia. Although, many people on a paleo diet can easily eat only once or twice a day, this was not the case for me. Chris also helped me adjust my macronutrient ratios based on my personal needs to optimize my health and energy levels.
Since working with Chris, my blood work is the best it has ever been. I finally feel like I have found a way of eating that is ideal for me.”
You could keep chasing the holy grail of diets – the latest trend or fad. You could keep feeling sick, living with pain, fatigue, or moodiness. You could keep picking yourself up and trying yet another new solution. You could get yourself psyched to follow yet another Guru.
You could do what I did in my 20′s, going from doctor to doctor, trusting that the next one would know why I had chronic symptoms. You could continue to struggle to follow confusing, overly restrictive, impractical diets that don’t empower you or give you the tools to succeed.
Or, for less than the price of one meal at a fancy restaurant, you can enroll in the last program you’ll ever need. Why the last? Because:
How much would you pay to tailor a suit or get the perfect earrings and shoes for your special outfit? $100? $300? How much would you pay a personal trainer for just one month of weekly sessions? $250? $500? How many $1000′s of dollars would you pay doctor after doctor trying to solve your chronic symptoms?
For less than any of these – you can get a 100% personally customized, scientifically sound diet, with all the support you need to realistically make it a part of your day-to-day life.
Once you purchase the course, you’ll get immediate access to Step One of the course and all the support tools, the progress tracker, the guides, and support workbooks via a password-protected website. No waiting for the DVD or printed course to arrive or dealing with shipping hassles. Even better, as an owner you’ll have life-time access to the program. As you complete step one, step two will be delivered at no additional cost to you. When you are ready to move to step three, new content will appear in your members area. For your initial one-time investment, you will get access to all future updates of the content and bonuses, as well as exclusive offers for other products and services.

Why 6 months?
People have different approaches to making changes. Some prefer to dive right in without much preparation at all. Others like to take their time to prepare and get acclimated before going full throttle. There’s no right or wrong way to do it, and both approaches can be successful. It’s more a matter of personality and preference than anything else.
I’ve designed the Personal Paleo Code as a self-guided program for exactly this reason. It’s okay to start slowly, because your program is self-paced. This isn’t a race, and there’s no reward for going faster. It’s not how you begin that’s important, but whether you finish and reach your goals.
That’s why I offer a 6-month, no-hassle refund policy. I want to make sure you’ve got all the time you need to get the benefits of this program. If something comes up right after you buy the PPC that makes it hard to get started, no worries. You can just set it aside for a few weeks, or even months, and it will be there for you when you’re ready to begin.
That said, you should understand right up front that it takes a minimum of 90 days to truly personalize your diet. If you’re like most people, you’ll start seeing benefits right away – often within the first week of getting started. However, to move through all 3 phases of the program requires more time. If you don’t give it at least 3 months before determining whether it will work for you, you’re shortchanging yourself.
I suggest you purchase the program (at no risk) to evaluate it and decide whether you can commit to the process for at least 90 days – even if you’re not ready to begin immediately. If after a few months you decide that you aren’t ready to make this commitment to your own health, you’ll still have plenty of time to return the program for a full refund.”

So, what were my complaints? Well, about 30-40 extra pounds that I’ve been carrying around for over 10 years (after a lifetime of yo-yo dieting); hair that was coming out way too much in the shower; plantar fascitis and achilles tendonitis; sleep issues that were driving me crazy—couldn’t get to sleep for an hour or two or more, woke up around 3:00 or 4:00 most nights. Not bad for a 60-year-old woman, but not optimum by any means.
Listening to Robb’s podcasts, I often heard him recommend that people find a functional doctor to give them an assist. I looked around, and based on his blog, his podcasts, and interviews I listened to on other podcasts, I decided to contact Chris to see if he could help me.
Well, help me he did. By putting me on an elimination diet, and recommending a few specific supplements, he gave me the assist I needed to really put Paleo to work for me. After a few short weeks, my sleep began to improve, my hair quit coming out in the shower, and my “itis” issues cleared up. Now, in less than two months, my sleep is great, I’ve lost over 10 pounds, and my mood and energy has improved. Not bad for a 60-year old woman.
This is what I would call “Paleo for the rest of us.” You can’t always figure it all out by yourself; I know I couldn’t. I’m extremely grateful to Chris for the guidance that has put me in the place I’ve been wanting to be for a long time. I’m finally able to really say that Paleo worked for me.”

As a student nutritional therapist, I find your blog/facebook/twitter extremely useful, scientifically backed and in-line with my beliefs on nutrition and health (when in some cases this is different to what I am being taught).
In class I always refer to your blog and send the emails round to the group. The work is written in a clear and concise reader friendly and engaging way that anyone with any interest in food and nutrition should find enjoyable, useful and critical to their health.”







Does the Personal Paleo Code Program include or require blood tests or lab work?
The Personal Paleo Code will teach you a systematic approach for discovering what works – and doesn’t work – for your body. The only proven way to do this is by methodically eliminating and then reintroducing foods to your diet. Other programs that promise a customized diet based on your “genetic code” or blood test results aren’t credible because they’re not based on legitimate scientific evidence.
No blood testing is required or suggested for this program. There’s no questionnaire or magic calculator that will tell you exactly what to eat. You have to do the work yourself. But if you follow this program to the end, you’ll know from direct experience what your own optimal diet is. And don’t worry – you’ll have plenty of support along the way in the form of reference guides, workbooks, and tracking tools.
I have a specific health condition, disease, or chronic illness. Will the Paleo Code cure my illness?
The Personal Paleo Code doesn’t substitute for being under the care of a qualified medical professional. If you have serious health problems, optimizing your diet is the first and often most important step toward resolving them. That’s what the PPC is designed to do. It does not, however, cover lab testing, diagnostic procedures or other non-nutritional treatments for specific medical conditions.
How long before I start to see results?
It takes a minimum of 90 days to truly personalize your diet. If you’re like most people, you’ll start seeing benefits right away – often within the first week of getting started. However, to move through all 3 phases of the program requires more time. If you don’t give it at least 3 months before determining whether it will work for you, you’re shortchanging yourself.
How quickly should I move through the 3 steps?
People have different approaches to making changes. Some prefer to dive right in without much preparation at all. Others like to take their time to prepare and get acclimated before going full throttle. There’s no right or wrong way to do it, and both approaches can be successful. It’s more a matter of personality and preference than anything else.
Will It be hard to keep up with your program?
I suggest you purchase the program (at no risk) to evaluate it and decide whether you can commit to the process for at least 90 days – even if you’re not ready to begin immediately. If after a few months you decide that you aren’t ready to make this commitment to your own health, you’ll still have plenty of time to return the program for a full refund.
