Happy Birthday, Gusto!!

Happy Birthday, Amy!!

Some of you may have run into problems finding health care compatible with your paleo lifestyle. Conventional Wisdom (oxymoron) and most doctors will tell you red meat, bacon, and egg yolks are the devil and praise whole grains instead. Some are still under the impression that cholesterol is the key cause of heart disease, where now we have information that says inflammation is the marker instead. Big Pharma becomes a part of your everyday life as one pill is prescribed to lower your cholesterol while another lowers your blood pressure.

One doctor in Louisiana, Ernie Garcia, saw the truth soon after one of his patients died from his fourth hearth attack.  This patient did everything by the “books.”   He took his pills; he stayed away from the evil foods and ate vegan; he was by all accounts ‘skinny.’ This baffled the good doctor and nagged at him until a neighbor introduced him to the paleo diet.

Eventually, Ernie decided it was his turn to take an honest crack at the W30 and saw the same results most of you saw this last January when you participated in our gym challenge.   Hopefully, he’s just one of many doctors that will see the benefits of a paleo template lifestyle.
