Leave a comment

From Brother Normandy – “I’m really grateful to have heard of the Primed lifestyle 5 months ago. It really opened up possibilities for me.”

“Well, I’ve lost count how many people have commented on how good I look and the great changes they see in me.”

“I am looking forward to your Primed seminar at De La Salle this Saturday. Thanks.”

Also from Br. Normandy:

“Hey Chad! You always have impeccable timing. My blood sugar clocked in at 99 this morning. The lowest I’ve had in years! the other day though, I made the mistake of eating rice, somehow it just felt all wrong in my mouth and my tummy. By-the-way my watch and pants are much looser now.”

Top 3 Ways to Better Health (Means Better and Longer Life)

1. Get a Knowledgeable Coach Who Can Train and Motivate You

I make it my mission to help you achieve your goals.

I explain the why and teach you how. It becomes easy and fun to maintain the Primed Lifestyle.

2. Jump off The Sugar Roller Coaster (Grains = Sugar in your body)

Sugar coaster

A cool way to do this is by eating more eggs and green vegetables as this then crowds out the cheap carbage.

I teach you how sugar harms you. There is no doubt about it. The sugar spikes and crashes hurts your body and brain. It could also lead you to become overfed and undernourished which reduces your immune systems ability to fight illness.

Did you know that bread, pasta and noodles = sugar in your body?

3. Examine your Why?

I help you identify your goals, keep them in focus as we go through the many Primed Protocols that ensure you reach them. And then maintain them.

That Paleo Show quote1

I treat all my Primed clients as individuals and tailor a program to suit the needs of you and your family (ideally).

The Final Word

Here is my initial reply to asking if I could help Normandy, the other Brothers of De La Salle and the children in their care.

“We can. I am passionate about helping people (children in particular) about getting healthy so as to improve the quality and quantity of their lives. My program absolutely does that. If your brothers follow it and live the Primed Lifestyle your example will help others with both their mental and physical well being. The information is priceless as you cannot put a price on health, happiness and longevity. I want to help EVERYONE in the Philippines. They deserve to be happy and healthy.”

Primed Jun de Castro is Thriving

After Just 5 Months Primed Down 7 Kilos and Doc Says “Stay Primed.”

“Hi Chad. For my 5 months of the Primed Lifestyle I lost 7 kilos. Sometimes I cheat with a cup of rice but to my dismay I can hardly finish it. My Doctor advise to continue my Primed Lifestyle. I just do brisk walking, marching in place and stretching my arms and neck. I feel great actually. Thank you mate.”

Bye Bye Arthritis

“Hi Chad I’m doing fine and follow your recipes and menus. I feel light and nonetheless no more arthritis pain…”

What You Eat Matters

Please remember, with everything you eat and drink you are either promoting:

(1) Anti-inflammatory fat burning mode; or

(2) Pro-inflammatory fat storing mode.

Less inflammation means less pains and faster recovery. More inflammation means more pain, slower recovery and a reduced immune system to not fight illness/disease as well as you should.

Primed Super Family – Etienne, Sarah and Liam La’Brooy

2 Comments

I have been friends with Etienne and Sarah for most of my 15 years in the Philippines. They are a wonderful family with their son Liam. Luckily I convinced them to adopt the Primed Lifestyle just a few short months ago. Please see their story in their own words below. We can all be healthier and happier.

Etienne and Sarah6

See comments from Etienne and Sarah La’Brooy after 3 months following the Primed for your Life Lifestyle:

From Etienne:

“Sarah and I are powering along with a Primed lifestyle. I am down to 86kgs, so a 9 kilo (20 pound) drop in 3 months!

I feel healthier, sleep better and feel my moods are much better. Sarah is pretty much the same being under 50kg for the first time in many years.

Liam is also MUCH easier to talk to nowadays which we feel is attributable to his Primed Lifestyle (although as a kid he cheats every now and again).”

Etienne had debilitating gout in his foot which was painful and even interrupted his golf game sometimes. Within weeks of going Primed the gout went away and has no ever returned.

Chad’s Sick then Fat Food and Exercise in 2013 compared with Healthy and Fit 2015

1 Comment

I was once a sick, then fat, athlete. I was training too much (up to 25 hours per week) with a misguided formula to be fit and healthy.

I was eating the Standard Australian Diet (SAD) with lots of “healthy whole grains” (there is no such thing) and fueling my exercise with the sugarades, sugar gels and the carbo loading (sugar bread, pasta and noodles) that my fellow athletes were also doing (not the smarter ones though like Jenson Button).

Below is how I looked like with all my excessive cardio (cost of time, money, mental energy, sleep, recovery etc.). I have also included what were then my favorite food.

I was not healthy, vital or as happy as I should have been. I suffered from brain fog, lack of energy and sometimes bad skin.

#Chad sick then fat

Now I train a maximum of 6 hours per week on average, eat according to the Primed Lifestyle and have more energy and mental clarity than I ever imagined.

Primed Anthony Vargas – A Cool Role Model for His Family and Others

1 Comment

When you go Primed all sorts of great things happen. Just ask Anthony Vargas.

From Anthony – “I now have: More mental clarity, not bloated, glowing skin and a lot more energy.” No mention of weight loss here because it pales into insignificance compared to having a better brain and body thereby extending the quality and quantity of your life.

How did Anthony achieve this in Just a Couple of Months?

By eating real food. No vegetable oils, no grains, no sugar and no processed foods. These are not real food. Grains cannot be digested in their natural state (are already GMO) and must be highly processed so you can digest them. Yikes.

Anthony kettle ball

Exercise helps you to become healthier ONLY AFTER you have the great nutrients from your food to give you the energy you need. You need vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Anthony was previously overfed yet undernourished. Not any more.

Ironwoman Berns Tan Personal Best by 1 hour plus with a Primed Lifestyle

1 Comment

One of my idols is Berns Tan. A wonderfully talented lady who smashed her Ironman personal best by more than 1 hour after adopting the Primed for your Life/Wheat Belly/LCHF lifestyle.

So, how did Berns go from a 13:17:58 Ironman Malaysia on September 27th 2014 to a 12:15:15 Ironman Taiwan on April 12th less than 7 months later?

Berns adopted the Primed Lifestyle which is very similar to the Wheat Belly Lifestyle of Dr. William Davis where grains, sugar, processed foods and vegetable oils are eliminated in favor of more nutritious, real foods that do not spike your blood sugars nor cause inflammation.

It is all about optimally fueling your mind and body.

Berns Tan Ironman4

Questions and Answers with Ironwoman Berns Tan

What were the main reasons for you smashing one hour off your Ironman personal best?

★ I was able to shed off 3-4lbs of body weight even when I was eating my favorite food – meat. However, like you said, not too much meat but less cheap carbs (like bread, pasta, rice, noodles, white potatoes) and more quality fats like olive and coconut oil.

How was your energy during Ironman Taiwan?

★ Sustained energy all throughout the race. I only needed a quarter of the amount of energy gel (Home-made Primed of course) that I took on my previous full Ironman in Malaysia. I even walked 5km to my hotel after the race 😉

How was your recovery?

Wow, what a difference a year can make.

Mailyn ran Milo Marathon last year with Natasha and I but a lot has changed since then.

Mailyn, who now lives in Canada, has joined the growing number of people becoming Primed for your Life.

I don’t need to say a lot seeing a picture often says a thousand words.

Mailyn Janette Lucas Leyeza

Mailyn looks amazing.

Glowing skin, increased confidence, more energy, better mental clarity, less aches and pains and looking simply stunning. Congratulations Mailyn. I didn’t mention weight loss because that is merely a side benefit compared to increased energy, happiness and peace of mind now being enjoyed by Mailyn.

The best part is the wonderful example she is setting to her three children, other family and friends. What a tremendous role model for healthy living.

160km Ultra Marathon on Olive Oil & Nuts – Well Done Primed Low Carb Champion Rose

5 Comments

Primed for your Life is what Rose Betonio is. Not only did she win her 160km ultra marathon on olive oil and nuts (no processed carbs at all) but Rose was fully recovered by the following day (except for sore lips) when her competitors were still sore and limping.

Rose fi

The reason Primed/Paleo/LCHF/Wheat Belly Lifestyle is on everyone’s lips at the moment is because so many people want to be healthier and are realizing that there is no magic pill, no healing potion and not even running ultra marathons will get you healthy. Sometimes doing too much exercise makes things worse.

However, in the case of running machine Rose Betonio she found a good food formula to augment her love of running.

Rose’s new Primed Lifestyle allows Rose to run fast, recover faster and still be a healthy, dynamic and energetic person with a killer smile!

Rose Benito

The Primed for your Life Lifestyle is basically a delicious recipe of paleo real food principles, Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint, Lower Carb with Higher Healthy Fat/LCHF together with the Wheat Belly Lifestyle where individuals discover what real food ingredients work best for them whilst avoiding modern toxins like grains, sugar and veg oil.
