Choose Between Two Options

During each in-home cooking class, paleo guru Nell Stephenson customizes a menu based on individual needs before demonstrating some techniques and recipes that embody the principles of the paleo diet. Alternatively, the lifestyle makeover includes Stephenson demonstrating a few dishes that can easily fit into a fast-paced, leftover-grabbing, auctioneering lifestyle in a one-hour private cooking class.

Paleoista, by Nell Stephenson

A woven basket of berries, foraged greens, and a wild boar with a spear in its side––these were the feasts of Paleolithic humans, who ate only what they could hunt and gather on the move. Grains, dairy, and legumes were not available to our early ancestors, and adherents to the paleo diet maintain that our bodies are best served by eating that same pre-agrarian diet. Author, nutrition coach, accomplished Ironman athlete, and exercise instructor Nell Stephenson guides her clients to vibrant healthy lifestyles within the diet's parameters.

In an interview with Lava magazine, Stephenson outlined her journey to the paleo diet, which began by identifying a latent gluten allergy in 2006 and continued on with her co-penning a cookbook with Dr. Loren Cordain, PhD, the “father” of the diet. Her experiences led to her current philosophy, which mimics the Hippocratic view that food should be medicine and vice versa. On CBS, Stephenson demonstrated some of her recipes and explained that one of the goals of her Paleoista book was to assure the diet is accessible to anyone.

Stephenson channels her enthusiasm for and expertise in paleo living through diet and lifestyle services designed to introduce clients to pre-Neolithic ways and Paleo living in a modern-day setting with style and panache. Phone or Skype consultations help determine individual plans of action and abilities to hunt and trap wild avocados. After that, alternatively, clients can commission her for custom nutrition plans, private fitness training, hands-on coaching, cooking lessons, and kitchen makeovers.

The Groupon Guiding Light: Real Advice for Real People

It is incumbent upon the learned of a society to help those with lesser cranial machinations. That is why we have started The Groupon Guiding Light: Real Advice for Real People. Because here at The Groupon Guide, we know that Knowledge Is Helping™. (To receive your own Groupon Guiding Light in the next installment, email a problem that needs advice to cat@groupon.com.)

Problem:
Dear TGGL:RAFRP,
My bf of five years still won’t move in with me. Should I stick with him or move on?
—B. Sanderson

Guiding Light: Many advicetronauts (industry term) would suggest that you analyze whether or not this relationship is going anywhere. That’s dumb. Perhaps your house is not cool enough. How many marble pillars are there? If you are able to tally them without losing count, the answer is not enough. Make it nice. Hang some paintings of old Italian horses fighting or bowls with fruit in them. Get it together, B. Sanderson.

Problem:
Dear TGGL:RAFRP,
My dog has been acting really strange lately. He wakes me up barking and sometimes even growls at me and bares his teeth. What should I do?
—Tony R.

Guiding Light: Dogs are beautiful, innocent creatures whose eyes seek justice and whose hearts live in the truth. Your dog is angry because it knows about all of your wrongdoings (slander, pickpocketing, lewd art, bad body smells, etc.) and now it wants to hold you accountable. Let your perfect pooch shower its wrath upon your home and family so that you can finally be free of sin.

Problem:
Dear TGGL:RAFRP,
I'm 24 and still unsure what to do with my life. I tried art and wasn't any good and didn't excel at photography. I hate corporate culture. Please help me find direction.
—Laura D.

Guiding Light: According to an online personality quiz we took on your behalf, you're a Seeker, Not a Five-Days-a-Weeker! Continue pursuing various idle hobbies, ideally at the expense of a parent or significant other. Eventually you may find one you excel at—if not, you can always move to a country where idleness is appreciated, i.e. every country but America.

Problem:
Dear TGGL:RAFRP,
I'm not good at cooking, but I told this girl I was. She's coming over for a dinner date next week and I have no idea what to do. What is an easy way to look like a good cook?
—Stephen B.

Guiding Light: If you aren't the best chef, fool her by wearing one of those floppy chef hats and using fake skin to cover your hands in thick, hideous calluses, which professional chefs have from years of handling frying pans with no gloves. Also, I guess buy some food from a food store.

Seriously, to receive your own Groupon Guiding Light in the next installment, email a problem that needs advice to cat@groupon.com.

Our advice is so good, sometimes we even ask ourselves (for advice).
