From Primal Health to Mental Resilience: Lorraine Cuff on Empowering Veterans and Breaking Free from Fragility

On this insightful episode of The Patrick Bass Show, Patrick Bass sits down with Lorraine Cuff—known as Coach Lorraine, a veteran, Air Force Senior Master Sergeant, and primal health expert. Lorraine shares her powerful message for veterans and civilians alike: take charge of your health and break free from over-dependence on quick fixes. Lorraine’s 30-year military career has given her unique insights into the challenges service members face in maintaining their health, especially as they transition from active duty to a more sedentary lifestyle. Veteran Health & The Power of Primal Living Lorraine advocates for a “primal” approach to health, emphasizing the benefits of nutrient-dense, natural foods over processed ones and refined sugars. She explains that adopting this way of eating can empower veterans and civilians alike to stay healthy, improve their energy, and manage their health independently. Lorraine also dives into the transformative impact of intermittent fasting, which she sees as a necessary tool to give the digestive system a break and improve metabolic health over time. Taking Control of Health through Knowledge Lorraine emphasizes the importance of health education, urging listeners to learn about their bodies’ unique needs and how different foods impact them. By making informed dietary choices, individuals can avoid the rollercoaster of energy crashes and metabolic issues often caused by excessive carbs and processed foods. Lorraine’s work is a call for all of us to be proactive health ambassadors for ourselves—understanding our bodies’ specific needs and learning what truly works. Breaking Free from Fragility in Health and Life This episode aligns perfectly with the themes of Patrick’s latest book, The Snowflake Generation: How Fragility Became the New Norm, which explores how overprotective cultural environments are eroding resilience. Just as Lorraine promotes self-reliance in health, Patrick’s book champions self-reliance in all aspects of life, encouraging readers to reject entitlement and embrace the grit and determination that drive true progress. Together, they offer a powerful narrative on why it’s essential to rise above fragility and how we can reclaim resilience in our health, workplaces, and society. Practical Steps Toward Health & Resilience For anyone struggling with their health, Lorraine’s practical guidance is invaluable. Her advice—focus on nutrient-dense foods, explore intermittent fasting, and monitor personal reactions to different foods—can serve as an accessible blueprint for self-care.
