Words of Brilliance
From Mentors
“There is an underlying order to our health. Getting sick isn’t random. We get sick because our genes didn’t get what they were expecting one too many times. Most importantly I’ve learned that food can tame unruly genetic behavior far more reliably than biotechnology. By simply replenishing your body with the nourishment that facilitates optimal gene expression it’s possible to eliminate genetic malfunction and with it pretty much all known disease.”
“Deep Nutrition” by Catharine Shanahan M.D.
“In almost all cases primal humans were healthy and strong for their entire lives until they met their sudden demise. There was simply no such thing as todays abysmal decline into old age. In general every individual hunter-gatherer was expected to make a contribution to the clan and there was no ability to support those, for what ever reason or misfortune, were unable to support themselves. My advice is to live long and drop dead.”
"The Primal Blueprint" by Mark Sisson
“You can be your own doctor if you learn and understand the laws of nature and how your body, food and exercise interplay with those laws. In Ayurvedic tradition, every action is either bringing you into balance or pulling you out of balance. Disease is inflammation. Truly...dis-ease of the body in which certain elements are out of balance due to inflammation. “
Emily Fletcher
“If you truly love yourself, you will remember that you are a physical, mental, and spiritual being. Loving yourself as God wants you to means that you use wisdom in protecting your life and conserving your health in order to complete your mission on earth.”
Clark Swain PhD
“A diet that emphasizes meat, fish, foul, eggs, nuts, seeds, and colorful natural carbs from vegetables and fruits is the primary way to improve your general health, control your weight, and minimize the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and other diet influenced medical conditions. If you’re carrying excess body fat, it will disappear without you having to work at it when you focus on eating the delicious filling nutritious foods that have nourished humans throughout the course of evolution. Seriously! It’s as simple as breaking free from a lifetime of wildly excessive insulin production thanks to a standard American diet (SAD) that’s rich in grains and sugar and choosing the right foods to moderate insulin production and enable your body to mobilize stored body fat and burn it for energy. You do not have to struggle and suffer with calorie restriction and exhausting exercise to shed excess body fat. You simply have to reset your appetite and metabolic hormones that have been disregulated by a lifetime of wildly excessive insulin production.”
"The Primal Blueprint" by Mark Sisson
"There is a myth that you need to count calories to avoid disease to be slim. That’s obviously false. Here’s why it’s false. No one knew what a calorie was, let alone count them, for every generation of humans that have ever existed, up until the last two (which have also been the fattest and sickest). So how could it possibly be true that we need to count a thing that we weren’t even aware of before we had this problem to avoid this problem? We can get into all the science we want...but bottom line… there’s a solution to this as evidenced by every generation up until the last 2. It is eat food… defined by the stuff you find directly in nature...Gogurt is not found in nature… Pringles are not found in nature...Even bread is not found in nature. There’s no such thing as a bread bush. If you want to eat wheat off the stalk go ahead but no one does. If we just ate and moved the way we did before we were heavy and sick we wouldn’t get heavy and sick."

“Exercise is valuable. But what you eat far outweighs the impact of any exercise you could ever do. It’s your food choices that literally determine what you’re making your amazing body out of.”
