About this title

About the Author

Wesley Camp trained as a Living Foods chef and instructor at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona - one of the most well-respected institutions within the live-food movement. He has been preparing living foods and studying vegan nutrition for over five years. Wesley is also a 500-hour certified teacher of Atma Yoga and a representative of the Atma Yoga school of Yoga teacher training. He holds a B.S. in organizational effectiveness from Vanderbilt University and an M.B.A. from Georgia State University. Wesley was born on January 9, 1980, in the small Atlanta suburb of Monroe, Georgia. He left home at the age of 15 to attend the McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Afterwards, Wesley went on to attend Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Upon graduation, he remained in Nashville intending to work in the music business but found himself managing a restaurant instead. He moved to Atlanta in the fall of 2003 to work for the corporate headquarters of the restaurant franchise. In 2005 Wesley decided to return to school yet again and graduated from Georgia State University in 2007 with a Masters degree in Business Administration (focus in entrepreneurship). Since then, Wesley has been busily pursuing his interests in food and Yoga. Wesley became a vegetarian in 2002 at the age of 22. He had struggled with his weight since he was a teenager, and had grown up on a fairly standard American diet. After years of emotional turmoil, Wesley decided to take claim of his health by slowly incorporating more healthful foods into his lifestyle. Within a year of becoming vegetarian, he had taken the next step to vegan and began experimenting with raw and living foods. Along with eschewing dairy products, Wesley also gave up his use of alcohol and tobacco. Upon committing to these two changes, Wesley s health immediately began to improve. He dropped about 60 pounds after only a few months, and he realized that he had stumbled onto something profound. Now, several years later, Wesley still enjoys vibrant health and is still as excited about healthy vegetarian food as he was when first experienced the self-esteem boost brought on by his weight loss. He makes it a point not to endorse any products or miracle cures, preferring rather to encourage health through commitment, hard work, natural foods and spiritual discipline. Wesley s mission is to de-mystify health, wellbeing and spirituality in an attempt to make them accessible to anyone who seeks them sincerely. In his free time, he enjoys reading, hiking, playing music and singing kirtan (Sanskrit devotional songs).
