"Headaches, allergies, and skin problems are gone ... "
"...I just want to let you know how incredibly grateful I am for your research. I own both
of your books and have read through all of the research ... I've been following the plan for well over a year now
and have never looked or felt better. Headaches, allergies, and skin problems that used to constantly plague me have
vanished and people constantly comment on my "radiant appearance." The Paleo diet combined with an excellent
exercise program (CrossFit) has allowed me to effortlessly optimize my body composition. I've stabilized at a lean
(single digit body fat)/muscular 160 lb (I'm 5'6). My workout performance continues to increase as well. The benefits
have extended to my family as well. In the past couple of months I've managed to get my mom and dad on the wagon and
they have both experienced enhanced health and vitality. The plan has helped to alleviate aches and pains and is
providing a route for my mother to get back to her ideal weight. Both of them are also experiencing higher levels
of energy and greater resistance to fatigue. Needless to say, the plan has been a panacea for all involved..."
"...free of debilitating headaches..."
..."For a while I did experience daily leg cramps. Once I read one of Loren's papers on
potassium and what contained the most I try to get those vegetables most and throw mushrooms into everything when
I have them. And as I said earlier I went back to my normal salt intake, well maybe somewhat less, and lately
I have not had those cramps. Once I started eating more mushrooms though and increased my stem and leafy vegetables
in place of more fruit it got better instantly. Who knows?
I forgot to mention the most important thing: since I have been on the diet I have
been virtually free of almost weekly, random, very debilitating headaches. I feel so free and at this point take
it for granted! There used to be day where I just would have to stay in bed, because the headaches were so bad
and the doctor alway said they were tension headaches. Yes, I get very tense neck muscles - the cause of the
arthritis to be sure - but I manage that when I can, yet I think it is the diet that makes the main difference..."
"...Changing our household to eat properly has changed all of our lives..."
"...About 5 months ago I decided to make the big change in my life. It ended up being a change for my entire family.
We are a very active family. We all love to hike, I help coach my 8 year old's soccer team, my daughter does soccer and gymnastics -
we are always out doing something. I did not make this change because I wanted to lose weight, although it is a great benefit/side effect.
I made this change because of the constant battle I have had with migraines. With every child my migraines became more frequent and more intense.
I have done all the food testing, seasoning testing, medicines, etc. I did not want to live like that anymore. It was to a point where it was
more noticable if I did not have a headache than if I did. This is no way of life, it effected everyone in my household.
So, after hearing much about Paleo and reading the book I decided that it was well worth a try. After the first week something major changed for
me - I was sleeping. I have had to take meds to sleep for longer than I care to remember. After the second week something more incredible - my
energy level was incredibly higher. From there it was all good. I started exercising more because I had the energy. My 5 year old was taking
walks with me 3 times a week. The best part? My headaches were gone. No headaches, no migraines and I felt like I was 10 years younger.
Ok, maybe that was not the best part - the best part was my kids noticing how much more I could keep up with them.
Changing our household to eat properly has changed all of our lives. The huge bonus is that I have lost 15 lbs as well. Now that is the type of
bonus I like.
Thank you Dr. Cordain - you and your book have changed the lives of my family for the better, for life..."
