Vegan Army Vet? No More. Meat Eater Paul Tijerina's Story Now Includes a Passion for Healthy Living
08/02/23 • 63 min
In my "talk story" session with Paul, we talk about his life, but also about his health related passions. Here's an excerpt from Paul's buy me a coffee link which I included in the notes.
"I am a West Point graduate and Army veteran. After leaving the military in 2002, I was in poor health - 275 pounds, pre-diabetic, suffering from high blood pressure and major digestive issues, and extremely inflamed.
After trying a vegan diet for two years with minimal improvement and additional problems, I discovered what I call Ancestral Health and have never looked back.
I have been practicing Functional Nutritional Therapy and Health Coaching for over a decade and speak on a regular basis. Currently, I am working with 6 to 12 health coaching clients and have an online community of amazing members that I support. I have thousands of hours of experience connecting with others.
After a recent divorce, I refused to go back to renting an apartment or looking for a home to purchase. I DECIDED TO PURCHASE A TEARDROP TRAILER AND LIVE OFF GRID.
My mission is to travel the nation, sharing the gift of simplified nutrition, health, and LIFE by documenting my experience."

A Life of Perseverance Describes Dean Jamison.
I asked Dean Jamison to describe himself. Here's what I got back. "I'm a good natured, determined competitor who thrives on a good challenge. I busted my ass all my working life to provide for my family by working every shift possible. Now that I'm retired, it's time to have fun".
Dean is a friend of mine. He's proud of his Pennsylvania roots, and he loves his country. When sitting around after a game or practice, Dean is a contributor to the conversation, but he's one who thinks before he speaks. I can't say that about too many folks I know.
As with a number of friends I have, I met Dean through softball. Dean mentions this as it's a part of his story. I recruited him to our team and it's worked out pretty well for both Dean, and our team. When we won our division at the Tournament of Champions last February in Florida, Dean was our team MVP.
Six Things to Know About Dean:
1. He loves his wife and kids
2. He loves Yuengling beer
3. He's a patriotic dude
4. He is into softball
5. He is into pinball
6. He loves music
