Until Art's book comes out, can I recommend Frank Forencich's "Play As If Your Life Depended on It". Frank arrived at similar conclusions to Art, but took a totally different route (including field work in Tanzania). Like Art, Frank gives you the information and inspiration to define your own - holistic - program; he does not give a program. I'm surprised that you have combined the Zone with Paleo as a basis for nutrition. Although they have a lot in common, the concept of voluntary caloric restriction (including the Zone's 'blocks') appears to me to be distinctly anti-Paleo. I certainly got a lot from Sears' "Omega Rx Zone" by way of background understanding, but unless I wanted to lose body fat quickly, I wouldn't drop the pure Paleo approach to food volume, macronutrients, eschewing groceries, eating seasonally and locally (as you recommend) etc. I'm tempted to subscribe (having read the interview with Art), but I must admit to being repelled by the recipes. I avoid all books with recipes unless they have some other redeeming feature, You certainly had a redeeming feature this time! Good luck with your venture!
