Here’s the goal: look fantastic, feel fantastic, and actually be fantastically healthy, inside and out. Can it be done? Absolutely. Can you do it? No doubt. What will it take? Here is the simplest answer: embrace a holistic natural health lifestyle. More specifically, eat a plant-based diet, sleep 7-8 hours a night, exercise 3-4 times a week, and reject the Standard American Diet (SAD) and associated sedentary lifestyle. What I’m talking about is a radical view on health. Not radical in that I want you to drink any koolaid – radical in that a natural health lifestyle flies completely in the face of what most Americans think of in terms of health.
Health is NOT the absence of disease, as much as it is the presence of abundant clarity, energy, and vitality. I have experienced a radical shift in my own health in the last few years. I went from a guy weighing 215 pounds, eating whatever I wanted, exercising occasionally or not at all, and suffering from the common ailments most Americans have come to view as normal. I had bad allergies, frequent intestinal problems, low energy that had to be supplemented with caffeine, and I was sick multiple times per year with everything from the cold and flu to bronchitis and strep throat.
The Transformation
Where I am today is a very different story. I weight 175 pounds. I eat a low-fat raw vegan diet. I run marathons and ultramarathons several times a year. I do not require caffeine for energy (though I do still consume it on occasion). The best part? Those common ailments that I used to experience (and accept as normal) have virtually disappeared. Besides losing 40 pounds, I have minimal allergy issues, zero intestinal problems, significantly more energy, and I only get sick about once per year (and if things continue as they have in the last few years – I will likely never get sick again).
My story is not unique. I am not a freak. I do not live a crazy lifestyle that you too cannot duplicate easily. I do simple things every day that add up to huge results over the long run. If my story inspires you, perfect, read on. If what I’m saying comes across as a lunatic radical who wants to push his hippy lifestyle down your throat, read this section again. Then contact me and ask as many questions as you want. I have no secrets. I live what appears to be a normal life, but the little choices I make every day add up to the holistically healthy guy I am today – and of course my results speak for themselves.
I want you to experience what I have experienced. I want you to be as healthy as you possibly can be. There truly is no limit to what your body is capable of becoming. Become someone fantastic. Be your own inspiration.
