Primed Rose Ann’s Inspirational Story to be Healthier and Happier

“Hi Chad,

Here’s my primed testimony 🙂 I’m not perfectly doing Primed (I cheat sometimes hahaha) but I hope you’ll find it well. Thank you!

December 2015 was a great time to be delighted on the festive foods that are being prepared on the table. I am a sweet tooth person and I really love desserts (cakes, fruit salad, cheesecakes, doughnuts, rice cakes… you name it, I love it). I am also a fan of coffee which I enjoy a lot during a conversation with a friend (cappuccino, mocha, caramel macchiato, frapuccino, and all that attracts my taste buds to be tickled.) Pasta gets me so crazy…be it red, white or green sauce rocks me so soundly.

One morning around end of December 2015, I woke up that it was really hard to grip my hands. As I tried to close it, I felt the pain and I’m powerless. I was feeling bloated (which made me hard to breathe and feeling heavy) and inflamed which I cannot put my feet on my crisscross sandals.

Period Pain

I also used to get a lot of pains before and during my menstruation period which makes me so emotional and craving for something to eat (as in whatever pops on my mind). Good thing my boss (Judith Staples) had reminded me to start being Primed.

I started doing my Primed meals since January 4, 2016, I get rid of the rice, bread, pasta, noodles and even chocolate drinks and coffee (with cream & sugar) on my meals, to name a few.

Rose Ann breakfast

“Primed breakfast for today! Scrambled egg with cheese and Fried banana in butter with cream cheese and Black coffee!  #EatRight #PrimeForYourLife

Rose Ann Salad

“My Primed salad version of Lettuce, sliced apple, tomato with olive oil and balsamic vinegar with grated cheese.”

Rose Ann Breakfast1

“What’s for dinner? Hooray for scrambled egg and cheese with tomato toppings partnered with fried sweet potato all cooked in Primed Organic coconut oil.”

It was not easy as I kept on thinking that I will get hungry (which I’m quite afraid to be: P). Nevertheless, I pursued my thoughts and body to adopt on the fronting lifestyle.

Where is TOXIC Veg/Seed Oil Hiding & Why?

Firstly, why do they dump TOXIC veg/seed oils into so many

products? Because it is cheap.

Secondly, do they know it is TOXIC? Yep.

Killer veg oilfi

Lastly, why do they then dump in in products like baby formula? Because it is cheap and they do not care about your health over PROFIT. See another great article here.

Toxic baby frankenfood

Are you sure you want that doughnut?

Ok if you wish to eat a perfectly formulated obesogenic combination for yourself, but please do not give it in the name of a special occasion.

Toxic oils hiding in plain sight yikes

The list of ingredients is FRIGHTENING and people give this as a treat. What!?! It is probably kinder to punch them in the arm. Don’t punch anyone, but at least that bruising goes away. However, internal bruising (inflammation) can, and does, lead to illness and disease.

Imagine giving someone a box of this carbage? Yikes. What a lovely combination of TOXIC artery clogging veg/seed oil, sugar, grains (same as sugar), chemicals, preservatives and whatever other garbage these type of companies dump in there.

5 Easy Steps to Start Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

You can reverse the condition of Type 2 Diabetes once Primed. So many people are including my Mum.

This is from my Mum: “Hey I’m no longer diabetic boys, it can be done, just lost 10 kg’s, once going Primed I cut down on the amount of food  I ate, fasted one day a week. It works. Hey Sean call, miss you. Mother.”

Back Story from Chad:

I saw my Mum, Sonja Parker, for the first time in more than a 1 year recently. It was via skype as she lives in Adelaide and I live in Manila. She does not have her pictures on facebook but only those of her dogs and her favorite dogs!


I was amazed at how good she looked. So much more youthful, thinner in the face and with more vibrant eyes and skin. I asked her why?
She said “I have been following your posts and am Primed for your Life.”

Hippocrates

5 Easy Steps to Start Reversing Type 2 Diabetes Condition:

(1). Get a Wellness Coach to guide you with respect to what toxic foods to avoid and what fabulous foods you can enjoy. I teach you the why and the how to. My cell is 0434-100-564. Email is chad.davis.1@gmail.com and skype of primedforyourlife;

(2) Start drinking more water. Deuterium depleted water like Evian and San Pellegrino rock. Especially first thing in the morning and throughout the day. Not with your meals though. Allows your digestive processes to work more easily;

(3) Once your food is more nutrient dense you will have more energy. Use this energy to stand more, walk more often (especially post meal) and to start a fun activity like using weights;

(4) Get quality sunshine on your skin daily where possible;

(5) Prioritize quality sleep.

There are a lot more Primed protocols and hacks that my Mum and others are using to Reverse their Type 2 Diabetic condition, these are just some simple ones to get you started.
