What PaleoHacks does

PaleoHacks is a private US-based digital wellness media and e-commerce company headquartered in Eden, United States, that operates a content-and-commerce platform targeting health-conscious consumers interested in the Paleolithic and ketogenic diets. The company's core assets are a blog (PaleoHacks Blog) covering recipes, health, fitness, mobility, and lifestyle topics, and a weekly podcast (The Paleohacks Podcast) hosted by Clark Danger featuring interviews with health and Paleo experts such as Mark Sisson, Dr. David Perlmutter, and Dr. Loren Cordain. The technology underlying the platform is a standard content management and digital publishing system that hosts an extensive library of free articles, recipes, and educational resources (Paleo 101, Movement 101, the Paleo Recipes Library, the 21-Day Paleo Meal Plan, and the 14-Day Keto Meal Plan).

The company's monetization model combines free content for audience acquisition with paid digital and physical products sold through its own e-commerce storefront at shop.paleohacks.com. Paid offerings include the Paleo Sweets, Keto Sweets, and Keto Slow Cooker cookbooks, as well as the structured 21-Day Keto Challenge program. PaleoHacks additionally operates an affiliate program managed via Clickbank that pays 75% front-end commissions to third-party promoters, distributing both digital and physical products across multiple health, fitness, and lifestyle sub-markets. The stated audience scale is 1.5 million-plus monthly visitors, reached through blog, podcast, email newsletter, and organic social channels (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram).

Operationally, PaleoHacks runs with an 11-50 person team, has not disclosed external funding, and has not announced acquisitions, executive hires, or formal partnerships beyond its affiliate channel. The business is fundamentally a niche content-and-commerce property rather than a venture-backed platform business.
