Learn how eating like our hunter-gatherer Paleolithic ancestors can save your health!  This 2 hour intro class includes a delicious Paleo dinner and dessert.  You will learn how your body’s metabolism works and how it could function more optimally.  Past participants experienced easy weight loss, loss of bloating and other digestive upsets, decrease in headaches, dramatic increase in energy level, improved sleep, clearer thinking, and greater enjoyment of their food.

After the class, you are automatically signed up to take the 30 day Primal Challenge!  This includes an informative email everyday with ideas of how to go primal plus email and phone support throughout the 30 days from Elie Cole and a follow-up class after day 30.

I encourage people to take this class with the person they live with and eat with the most whether that’s your wife, husband, partner, or room mate.

What some past participants have to say about their 30 Day Challenge experience and beyond…

“The Paleo Diet has also been a help to my Irritable Bowel.  I have been experiencing far less pain in my bowels since being on this diet.  I have lost a total of 20 pounds since I began this diet three months ago.  That, of course, has helped to lessen my hip pain and improve my health overall.”  Kathryn, age 64

“My body feels so much better. My energy levels are steady and I never crave sugar.  I just finished a 3 hour bike ride today at a steady tempo with only one banana. That was at least 1500 calories that I burned and only took in less than 100.  I could not have done that 3 months ago because my body hadn’t learned to effectively burn that (inexhaustible) energy source called fat.  Now it has because I have trained well and eaten well.  I’m a believer.” Scott, age 33, extreme athlete

“(My wife and I) started Paleo in June. After losing 16.40 pounds on Paleo (a 5.04% weight loss in five weeks), I went into the Doctor in July and got permission to stop taking Spironolactone (blood pressure drug).  We did a quick follow-up on 2 months later. My weight spiked up 2 pounds but after a check-up I got permission to also drop Amlodopine (another blood pressure drug) in August.  There has no been as dramatic a loss in the six weeks that followed, but I have a lot more energy, have almost no symptoms of asthma and am able to exercise and walk about four times more then when we started. I have also added some muscle.  Another eight pounds of lost weight and I’ll reverse two years of weight gain.”  S.W.
