Thriving at 57

Why I’m Thriving at 57 While Others Struggle

Have you ever wondered why so many people around you are struggling with their health—battling chronic diseases, relying on medication, or experiencing premature aging?

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on this and some eye-opening conversations I’ve had. Here are just a few examples that stood out to me:

  • A friend my age recently confided that he’s been using Viagra for the past 10 years. I was stunned—Viagra? Meanwhile, I still enjoy the same level of intimacy I had at 21—no pills needed, thank you very much!
  • I recently spoke with a friend my age who nearly died from bacterial meningitis—likely due to gut dysbiosis caused by his carnivorous diet. Nearly losing your life at 57? That’s not a wake-up call anyone should have to endure
  • Another good friend of mine, also 57, confessed that he regularly takes statins to manage high cholesterol, antihypertensives to control high blood pressure, and antidepressants. Wow. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve known this guy since I was a teenager, and I don’t have any of the health problems he’s dealing with.
  • My 88-year-old mother shared a story about her meat-eating friends who suffer from severe bone diseases and frequent fractures. In contrast, she enjoys vibrant health, remains incredibly active, and has strong bones—thanks to her plant-based diet.
  • I’ve read about DJs developing tinnitus after much shorter careers than mine. Before transitioning to this job, I was a professional DJ for 33 years, played over 4,500 gigs, and my hearing is still 100% perfect. Amazing, isn’t it?
  • I see far too many people succumbing to cancer in their late 40s or 50s—it’s heartbreaking.
  • Even within my own family, many are battling complications from type 2 diabetes, a disease that is entirely preventable with a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Tragically, they’re so hooked on meat and the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) that they refuse to see the truth.

Why am I sharing all this?

Because if I hadn’t discovered the principles of Natural Hygiene, I would likely be suffering from the same horrendous health issues.

Why is this happening?

  • Most people eat diets that are shocking: carnivorous, high-fat junk food, or the Standard American/Western diet
  • These are not human foods—they’re abominations. And the consequences are devastating.

What path will you choose?

Will you follow the same trajectory of illness and premature death? Or will you break free from disease and live a vibrant, healthy life?

One thing is certain: If you eat what everybody else eats, you’ll most likely get the same diseases everybody else gets.

The good news?

Eating a low-fat diet of raw, fresh fruits and vegetables with small amounts of seeds and nuts is our biologically adapted way of eating. 

It’s no coincidence that people who follow this lifestyle avoid the chronic illnesses plaguing so many others.

When we align ourselves with Mother Nature, the body has an incredible ability to heal and thrive.

The choice is yours: health and vitality or illness and suffering. 

Your future depends on what you decide today.
