My name is Bob Blaisdell. I grew up like most American children in our quick moving society. Our family, like many others, ate what we saw marketed on television. Over time in our society, our lives have become so consumed by technology and marketing that we seem to have lost track of the physical, emotional, and spiritual bond that we have with the nourishment of our mind, body, and spirit.
I am still on my journey of discovering the lost truth about ourselves including the natural nourishment that is needed for our body to function as perfectly as they were so divinely designed.
As a child, my activity levels allowed me to maintain adequate physical health. As I grew older, my activity levels slowed due to the increasing amounts of electronic stimuli that were becoming more readably available. By the age of 12, I was nearly 15-20 lbs overweight and suffered from certain illnesses like headaches, lethargy, asthma, allergies, colds, flu, insomnia, and some minor skin ailments.
Since many people around me had similar symptoms, I thought that these conditions were normal. Through exercise and sports, I was able to improve and maintain my physical appearance although most of my ailments still existed.
It wasn’t until my freshman year of College that things took a drastic turn for the worst. This was due to lack of exercise and rest as well as increased amounts of processed foods and alcohol in my diet. By the end of the year, I had gained almost 25 lbs, lacked significant energy, contracted mononucleosis, suffered from slight anxiety/ depression, and had many other symptoms of disease.
Dis-ease is defined as the lack of a feeling of ease and an impairment of health or a condition of abnormal functioning. What many of us do not realize is that one’s body/ mind becomes diseased by disrupting its natural state with outside negative influences.
After my first year of school, I was determined to change the emptiness that I felt physically, mentally, and spiritually. And so began my journey to discover the truth.
My journey has consisted of reading, researching, and implementing many aspects of physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. It wasn’t until I discovered natural nutrition, that a sense of clarity was reached. I realized that being healthy in all aspects of my life meant surrendering to nature and the truth of our innate being.
Since the beginning of my journey, the quality of my life has improved significantly. I no longer suffer from any of the ailments that I had learned to live with in the past. My new found level of health and clarity has improved all aspects of my personal and professional life.
Because I have learned so much along my journey, I have become very passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with everyone around me.
