Primal Kitchen Founder: Mark Sisson

Wellness expert and New York Times bestselling author, Mark Sisson, founded Primal Kitchen in 2015. After retiring from his career as a competitive endurance athlete (5th place at the 1980 U.S. Marathon Championships, and 4th place at the 1982 Hawaii Ironman World Triathlon Championships), Mark took up ancestral eating to combat the draining effects of the commanding training regimen and his previously highly inflammatory diet. He was blown away by the dramatic benefits this shift brought, and Mark wondered how many millions of others might be suffering the same fate. So, Mark set out to educate others through his blog, Mark's Daily Apple, and bestselling books that have inspired millions to incorporate real-food eating and Primal living into their daily routines.
