I want to start out by saying that we need to be mindful that we cannot know everything about anything, but we can surround ourselves with people that are better than ourselves to collectively figure this stuff out. I came to this ancestral health movement via The Paleo Diet channels. I grew up with chronic… Continue Reading
Testimonial – Female Hormones: Finding Balance
FINDING HORMONAL BALANCE When you hear the word hormone it often invokes images of once sweet, cuddly children who overnight turn into angry, irrational adolescents covered in acne.

Testimonial: “I’ve officially lost over half of my original body weight.”
I used to weigh over a quarter of a ton. The last weigh in I did before I started my weight loss campaign showed 538 pounds on the $250 scale my wife had to buy me with our tex return in March of 2010. As of today, I weigh 268 pounds, and I’ve officially… Continue Reading

I can lose weight. I am master at losing weight. Since the age of 15, I’ve battled to lose the same 40-90 pounds over and over again.

Myra’s Story: “You don’t have to be perfect…”
The only thing I can see as a “starting factor” to my eating disorder is that I began taking birth control about the same time and started dealing with depression off and on. I have been battling with bulimia, bingeing and purging, since I was 19. Now, almost 32, I look back and wonder how… Continue Reading
“I was a vegetarian for most of my life…” – A Life Changing Revelation.
This is an odd statement to use in this particular situation, but here goes: I was a vegetarian for most of my life, and it actually didn’t completely ruin me. Yep…I started abstaining from meat when I was about four years old, oddly enough, for moral reasons. The rest of my family ate meat, but as… Continue Reading
Brissia’s Story – How a Paleo Diet Helped Her Fully Live Life and Reduce Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Everyone starts life the moment they come into this world…or so it would seem it should be that way. I was always the sick kid, I knew all my doctors on a first name basis by the time I was 5. My favorite blanket was one I had taken home from one of my many… Continue Reading
Paleo Athletes Uncovered: Olympic Hopeful Ursula Grobler
Can an endurance athlete be successful eating a paleo diet? I hear this question all of the time and I was actually the one asking it a few years ago. Does it work? Yep. How do I know? I tried it and actually won a marathon eating paleo. My experience completely changed my life –… Continue Reading
