About Beverly Beverly Meyer is an MBA, a Clinical and Holistic Nutritionist in San Antonio, Texas, and a passionate advocate for the art of self-care.

She is also the host of the popular internet radio show and podcast, Primal Diet - Modern Health. Beverly's DVD The Diet For Human Beings DVD will help you change your life as quickly as you want to. I’ll tell you WHY you want to eliminate foods that Humans never ate until 10,000 – 13,000 years ago. And HOW to change your diet correctly. The Diet For Human Beings is the way Humans are built to eat, a diet similar to the Paleo Diet, also known as an Ancestral Diet, or the Primal Blueprint Diet. It explains how humans ate before agriculture and the domestication of animals, and why our digestive systems prefer animal proteins, fats and fresh plants. Warning Do NOT stop taking prescription SSRI's or other antidepressants without a very slow reduction and only with your doctor's knowledge and consent. Sudden cessation of antidepressant medication can have very serious side effects. Join Beverly's Social Media Follow Beverly's Newsletter.

Paul Jaminet, PhD, talks with me about the foundations of his Paleo-based Perfect Health Diet. He and his wife, a cancer reseacher, spent seven years developing and researching the tenets of this diet. Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #14 The Perfect Health Diet with Dr. Paul Jaminet. Both have successfully healed their own “middle-age” and chronic health problems with this diet and have learned a great deal about the benefits – and pitfalls – of the Paleo diet that they would like to share. Learn more about it on Perfecthealthdiet.com. Their Beliefs Disease, premature aging, and impaired health have four primary causes: malnutrition, food toxicity, evolutionarily discordant lifestyles, and chronic infections by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. These causes go together. People who eat toxic, nutrient-poor diets are more likely to contract chronic infections and do not easily recover from them. Yet the body has amazing powers of recovery. On a healthy diet, the immune system can tackle and defeat most infections, especially with the aid of antimicrobial drugs. A diet like the Perfect Health Diet should be the first treatment option in most diseases and an adjunct to therapy in all. Paul and Shou-Ching Recommendations About 3 pounds [1.4 kg] of plant foods per day, including: About 1 pound [0.45 kg] of safe starches, such as white rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and taro; About 1 pound [0.45 kg] of sugary in-ground vegetables (such as beets or carrots), fruits, and berries; Low-calorie vegetables to taste, including fermented vegetables and green leafy vegetables. One-half to one pound [0.25 to 0.5 kg] per day of meat or fish, which should include organ meats, and should be drawn primarily from: ruminants (beef, lamb, goat); birds (especially duck and wild or naturally raised birds); Shellfish and freshwater and marine fish. Low omega-6 fats and oils from animal or tropical plant sources, to taste. Good sources include: butter, sour cream, beef tallow, duck fat; coconut milk or oil palm oil, palm kernel oil, olive oil, avocado oil, macadamia nut butter, almond butter, cashew butter Acids to taste, especially citric acid (lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, grapefruit juice), lactic acid from fermented or pickled vegetables, vinegars, tannic acids from wine, and tomatoes. Broths or stocks made from animal bones and joints. Snacks or desserts from our pleasure foods: fruits and berries, nuts, alcohol, chocolate, cream, and fructose-free sweeteners like dextrose or rice syrup. By weight, the diet works out to about 3/4 plant foods, 1/4 animal foods. By calories, it works out to about 600 carb calories, primarily from starches; around 300 protein calories; and fats supply a majority (50-60%) of daily calories. In the shadow of the apple are foods forbidden because of their high toxin content. Notably: Do not eat cereal grains — wheat, barley, oats, corn — or foods made from them — bread, pasta, breakfast cereals, oatmeal. The exception is white rice, which we count among our “safe starches.” Rice noodles, rice crackers, and the like are fine, as are gluten-free foods made from a mix of rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch. Do not eat calorie-rich legumes. Peas and green beans are fine. Soy and peanuts should be absolutely excluded. Beans might be acceptable with suitable preparation, but we recommend avoiding them. Do not eat foods with added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Do not drink anything that contains sugar: healthy drinks are water, tea, and coffee. Polyunsaturated fats should be a small fraction of the diet (~4% of total calories). To achieve this, do not eat seed oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, or the like. We highly recommend certain foods for their micronutrients. These include liver, kidney, egg yolks, seaweeds, shellfish,

Shawna Kemp is an occupational therapist that has worked with autistic children for over 13 years. We will discuss why autism is now affecting 1 in 54 males and 1 in 67 children (as of March 2013). We want to give you information about what signs to look for and treatment options. Autism can be completely turned around in many cases, but early intervention is key.

Causes of Autism, Signs of Autism, Treatment of Autism, Nutrition for Autism, Education options for Autism, Importance of Detox, Seeking Help. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disorder in the nation, according to Autism Speaks, an autism science and advocacy program. At present, about one in 67 children has the disorder. Most of them are male. According to The American Academy of Pediatrics, recognizing symptoms early is crucial, and checkups at 18 and 24 months should include “developmental screening for autism spectrum disorders for all children.” Knowing the signs can help identify a problem early. Those signs include lack of eye contact, repetitive behavior, including spinning, arm flapping or lining objects up; developmental delays, especially in speech or motor skills; a preference for playing alone; and odd eating behaviors, according to the Mayo Clinic. Parents should be observant of their children in case any of these signs emerge. Looking at typical developmental milestones and making sure your child is staying on track with motor, communication and cognitive development is an excellent idea. Begin your quest to figure our if there is a problem if your child is not speaking at the same time as other children. Do not rely on the often quipped saying, "Children just develop at different rate. Don't worry." Parents should request a developmental evaluation with a speech-language pathologist or an occupational therapist as soon as they suspect their child is not developing normally. Even though most doctors wait until a child is 3 to issue an official diagnosis, parents can help their children earlier. Shawna and I will help give you the information and tools you need to get your child evaluated for free by your county or city. The earlier you intervene, the better the prognosis for your child to develop normally and integrate into kindergarten or first grade with their peers. Do not wait.
