Hello. My name is Ray Campbell, and like so many others, I submitted myself to a very poor lifestyle when it came to my health. I ate what I felt like eating, drank what I felt like drinking, chose to become idle and not excercise any longer, and pretty much gave up on becoming healthy. I know I am not the only one who has found themselves in this state along the way. Life seems to get in the way sometimes with responsibilities of raising a family, full-time employment, pursuing college, engaging ministry within our church, etc. I chose to not make my health one of the priorities until I hit the bottom of the barrel in December 2014.
Future posts will explain in detail what I went through and what drove me to the point of even seeking to change my diet and activities (or lack thereof). I will also share step by step what changes I incorporated, how I incorporated them, some recipes that I have been using regularly, coffee mixed with grass fed cow butter (Yes, you read right! See video at top of page) and implementing supplement and some smart excercising along the way.
I know for those of you that are concerned about a paleo diet, how it was developed, additional costs when using grass fed meats, organic vegetables and fruits, cutting out grains, breads and pastas, etc. I am confident that I will be able to explain things to you in a way that makes sense, shows that you do not need to embrace evolution in order to engage a paleo diet, and how the foods we eat are created by God and offer all the nutrients we could ever need for our bodies and our health.
My health has improved dramatically over the past 3 and a half months including increased cognitive abilities, increased strength/stamina/energy, elimination of neurological medication, decreased joint pain (I suffer from Psoriatic Arthritis), elimination of acid reflux/heartburn (I could have kept Zantact in business by myself), and an added/unexpected benefit of losing 37 lbs since Christmas and still losing!
I hope you check back again for more information that it will be helpful as you consider making changes in your life as well!
Happy Health to you!
Ray Campbell
