Local Couple Improves Health Through Paleo Diet

Tammy Jackson swears she hasn't blown her nose in seven months. The credit, she said, goes to a change in diet.

Jackson and her boyfriend, Will Poole, started the Paleo diet in an effort to help Poole deal with Type I diabetes.

The Paleo diet eliminates processed foods and focuses on hunter-gatherer foods, much like cavemen would have eaten during the Paleolithic era. The philosophy is centered on the theory that our bodies respond best to food that is, and has been for thousands of years, naturally available to us.

Breads, cereals, potatoes, legumes and dairy products are prohibited in the strictest versions of the diet. Jackson and Poole have adapted their diets to include more meats, vegetables and nuts.

And eggs, Jackson said. "We eat a lot of eggs."

Health advantages

Jackson and Poole are convinced that the Paleo diet has improved their health.

Before the Paleo diet, Poole's food choices were adversely affecting his health.

"I didn't do a good job," he said. His idea of managing his diabetes well was, "I wasn't having to have to go to the ER on regular basis."

"Will's diet was a big concern of mine," Jackson said. "He ate anything. He would eat food that would spike his blood sugar and then treat it with insulin."
