“Primal” is a distinction with a difference.
Primal Stands For
Primary
A back-to-the-basics approach to wellness that emphasizes real, nutritious food, physical activity that utilizes our muscles and cardiovascular systems, and life choices that keep stress at a minimum, sleep at a maximum, and balance at the center.
Ancestral Health
An evolutionary perspective that follows the dietary and fitness patterns of our earliest ancestors to prevent and reverse modern health conditions.
The Primal Blueprint
A system of eating, moving, and living in the modern world developed by our founder, Mark Sisson, that’s changed the lives of millions around the world.
An ROI you can count on.
Our programs tackle all facets of wellness so that our coaches can better serve clients with common health and fitness challenges, as well as those with more specialized needs. Advanced continuing education options help you hone your craft, develop your niche, expand your knowledge, and grow your business.
Founded by the preeminent authority on ancestral health, Mark Sisson
World-renowned, bestselling author Mark Sisson—credited as the “godfather” of paleo/primal—teamed up with other thought leaders to create the Primal Health Coach Institute, the world’s first coaching school based on the evolutionary health movement.
