Author Biography
Andrea Huffington is an author, professional speaker and health coach extraordinaire. Growing up in Southern California, Andrea has struggled with being overweight since early childhood. After completing a degree in chemical engineering at UCLA (where she also met her husband James), she took an internship in India. Shortly thereafter she had to return to the United States to receive treatment for her progressively worsening diabetes. After this health scare and trying various different diets and approaches, she found the Paleo way of eating and has never looked back. Today she is a picture of health and wellness, and participates in triathlons and frequently gives talks on the subject of how the Paleo diet impacts sports fitness and emotional health. She believes that in keeping things simple we can achieve so much more. This has certainly worked for her! Recently Andrea has spent three months with the San people of the Kalahari Desert in a quest to discover the secrets of their endurance and stamina in hot desert conditions. Andrea lives in Hawaii with her husband, three children, two dogs and a pet Boa Constrictor.
