About Neely Quinn

My name is Neely Quinn
(of NeelyQuinn.com),
and I'm a Certified
Integrative Clinical
Nutrition Therapist living
in Boulder, Colorado. In
2009, after many years of
weird health issues and
weight struggles, I
realized my body didn’t
tolerate grains, legumes,
or dairy very well, so I cut them out of my diet. I immediately started seeing my
health issues disappear one by one. I realized after the fact that I was what was
being called "Paleo", and soon implemented it with a lot of success into my
nutrition practice.
!
I teamed up with Paleohacks.com to create Primal Beauty because I've found that
most of the people taking an active role in changing their health and transforming
their bodies are women. But in my opinion, women aren't given enough guidance
on how to take care of their special health needs (and we do have special needs, as
I've learned personally over and over again).
!
I wanted to help get that information to you, so here in this program, I put
everything together to make sure you are taken care of in your weight loss journey.
I really hope the gems in here help you start feeling better and getting the body you
want - starting right now :)

Before setting up shop at NeelyQuinn.com, I was with PaleoPlan.com, starting in
2011 until July of 2014, as the blogger and nutritionist there. I wrote over 400 blog
posts about the hows, whys, and whats of Paleo, weight loss, and optimal health. I
watched as thousands of people's bodies and lives were changed just by making
simple changes to their diet - something that will never stop inspiring me.
!
I’m a no-nonsense kind of girl, and I generally cut to the heart of the matter,
whether it’s in my writing, my teaching, my interviews, or in my sessions with
clients. I like to see people get better as quickly as possible because I know what
it’s like to feel awful. While I'm definitely interested in the science of nutrition and
the nitty gritty details of how things work, I'm more interested in how to best put
that science into practice in real people's lives.
!
I've dealt with parasites, bacterial infections, asthma, constant dizziness, temporary
blindness in one eye, being overweight, eczema, endometriosis, and terrible
digestive problems, among other things. I know what it's like to be uncomfortable,
and my mission is to use my personal experience and my education to help you get
out of discomfort quickly and live a life you love.
!
This program, Primal Beauty - is just that. It's me providing all the information
from my brain (and the experts I’ve worked with over the years), trying to get you
the most useful, practical information so that you can, indeed, lose that extra fat,
and be a healthier, more vibrant version of yourself.
!
If you have questions about the program or anything at all, please email me at
[email protected] - I’d love to hear from you!
!
However, please do not send tech support or product support questions to that
address – please send them directly to the customer service team at Paleohacks –
the e-mail address for that is [email protected].

Hello, beautiful.

I'm really excited for you right now.

Why?
!
Because this is the beginning of a new journey: a journey towards emotional
balance and wellbeing; a journey towards cleanliness—starting from the inside out;
a journey towards discovering (or rediscovering) your NATURAL beauty, without
resorting to chemicals and products created by companies that only love your for
your checkbook; yes, this is a journey towards a healthy, sexier, more naturally
confident you…and we begin with your skin.

Let's consider that your skin is the outward expression of your inward health. You
may have been led to believe that any acne, or blemishes, or weird patches on your
skin may be genetic—something outside of your control. But today I'm going to
tell you the truth—anything less than flawless, gorgeous skin is because of YOU.

That may be difficult to hear, but its true, and it's exciting! Just think of how
empowering that is. If you are less than happy with the way your skin looks and/or
feels, then it's entirely within your power to change it—your power. You no longer
have to sit back and mope and be upset and shake your little fist at the gods, angry
at them for damning you to a life of less-than-amazing skin. No, sexy skin is within
your grasp, if only you learn—and act—on the principles that I'm going to share
with you.

You see, I used to be that woman. I used to be that angry, depressed woman that
never took responsibility for the way I looked and felt. Sure, I didn't know that it
was my fault. I thought that I didn't have control. And I was angry. But if I had
taken initiative like you took, by seeking out more information and learning from
�7
people who could have shown me the light, maybe I wouldn't have wasted all those
years being a depressed Negative Nancy.

But, alas, life is a beautiful ride, and we all get on the train at different points along
the track. I do not regret those years of discomfort, for they created the sexy
princess warrior that is writing these words to you today. And if I may quote
someone famous who said these magical words:

"I love me some me!"

And I know that you love you some you. If you didn't, you'd be on the couch with
a pint of Ben & Jerry's in one hand, and a remote in the other, eyes glued to some
craptastic reality TV melodrama, instead of hear with me, your new BFF Neely
Quinn, learning how to take charge of your life.

So if I may…let us begin.

But first, I must say these very important words:
!
DISCLAIMER OF SORTS

I am not a doctor. I am a Certified Integrative Clinical Nutrition Therapist, and
what I tell you here has come from lots of schooling, research, but more
importantly: EXPERIENCE.

Yes, during and beyond nutrition school, I used my own body and own skin as a
lab experiment, because I was desperate to discover natural ways to become
healthier and sexier.

Everything I tell you in the following pages has been thoroughly tested on ME, and
my friends and clients.
�8
I may say some things that shock and awe you.

I may suggest practices that repulse you.

I may give you advice that goes against everything you've ever known to be true.

But it is true: true for me; true for my friends; and true for the clients who trust me
and pay me thousands of dollars for my advice.

You love me and trust me or you wouldn't be here reading these words.

Imagine that you have climbed up a very tall mountain and have reached a
monastery. You climbed up that mountain because something in you recognized
that everybody in the town below you was full of bat poo, and you came up here
seeking the truth.

I opened up the large, finely engraved wooden doors, and I let you in. And please
trust that I did so because I love you, I see potential in you, and I want to share
with you THE TRUTH. But the only way that you may enter the hallowed doors of
my monastery is by leaving your ego at the doorstep.
!
Do as the great Bruce Lee says and empty your cup, for if your cup is already full,
you will not be able to receive what truth I seek to pour into you.

Are we on the same page?

Bueno.

You may enter. :)

HOW THIS WORKS

Okay, so what I hope to achieve in writing this guide is to give you a no-holds-
barred, ACTIONABLE, manual for revolutionizing your skin through natural
methods.

This is not a textbook. You will not find theories and graphs and pages of scientific
studies backing up every single word I write. I am too damn lazy to create all that
nonsense, AND I definitely wouldn't want to read all that if I were you anyway.
What I, Neely Quinn, would want is something that is fun and easy to read, and
something that I could use NOW to get IMMEDIATE results.

Before I discovered these principles my skin and body were out of control. I was
fat, covered in acne and falling apart at the seams. I felt like a lost cause and didn’t
even pretend that buying new clothes would make me look a little better. I just
focused on the things that made me happy, which were mostly made of chocolate,
and avoided looking in the mirror at all costs.
!
Ever since I was 12 my skin was absolutely terrible. I had cystic acne all over my
face, neck, and back that I was constantly scrubbing with caustic chemicals just to
try and make it go away. It looked so bad that some dude actually asked if I had
smallpox! There was no way to cover it up and nothing I tried ever brought me any
relief.
!
Because of my acne I completely gave up caring how I looked and comforted
myself by eating. Chocolate was my crack and I was eating a 600-calorie
Chocolove chocolate bar almost every day. Every bite of the sweet delicious flavor
took my mind off my problems if only for that moment but tragically what I was
eating to ease my pain was actually causing me tremendous indigestion.
