Welcome everyone to our new GoodPūD Store!

I am Scott Campbell, Founder of Love in My Tummy Foods™ LLC and maker of GoodPūD™ Healthy Snacks. GoodPūD™  started as Dee'lites Pudding, some of you may remember. We evolved to GoodPūD™ in 2023 as it made more sense to our mission.

Love in My Tummy Foods™  came from the thought that what I was doing is putting love in my tummy when I ate the foods that made me healthy and vital. I have discovered in my journey with heart disease and thyroid issues that food is either medicine, or poison. There isn't much in between. My wonderful naturopath, and let me say, Dr. Lori has helped me get healthy and stay healthy through love of her patients and her work as a naturopath and acupuncturist. She has shown me how changing my diet and maintaining a healthy gut biome is the path to health, without prescribing a single pharmaceutical to me, ever. This is my experience and in no way am I telling anyone to not listen to your doctor or stop seeing your doctor or change anything your doctor suggests you do.

For over 25 years I had not been able to sit in a squatted position. My knees and back were too painful. But after 2 weeks sticking to the strict anti inflammatory eating list Dr. Lori gave me, I was pain free and squatting! I was shocked! I had no idea, what I thought was eating well, was the cause of the joint pain stopping me from moving as I should be able to.

The anti inflammatory food lifestyle is the reason for GoodPūD™. Had I not been eating this way, GoodPūD™  may never have happened for me, or you. The anti inflammatory lifestyle is the reason my thyroid nodules have not grown significantly since found in 2017. I haven't had to go through the painful biopsies, sticking a needle into my neck 150 times, to get samples of the thyroid nodules. I hope neither you, nor I, have to endure that again.

My grandfather died at 51, my dad at 45, and my brother at 41 from heart attacks. I was 37 when I buried my brother and knew with these odds, I had little chance of living past 45. I turned 59 last April. Aside from the 3x bypass in 2012, I did not have a heart attack, I was 100% blocked in three main coronary arteries and 100%, 80%, and 60% in the collateral arteries, food has been my longevity medicine. The doc said I was a walking time bomb. I was lucky they caught it and I am grateful to the entire cardiac team at Providence St. Vincent Hospital.

Food has been my most effective medicine. Am I perfect at eating healthy, no. I slip at the Farmer's Markets with the delicious cookies and pastries and handmade breads, of course I do. However, I have none of that in my kitchen, the temptation is too high for me. I haven't eaten fast food since 2019 and I am choosy about what I eat at restaurants as well. I tell you what, that occasional marionberry poppyseed layer cake at a local cake shop is hard to resist! 

The point is, no one is perfect at eating well and we all have our moments of weakness, it makes us human. It is the everyday choices that matter. It is what is in our kitchens that matters. GoodPūD™  came from my kitchen. In all flavors, I use the ingredients you will find in my kitchen because that's what I eat. Clean, organic whenever possible, and non-GMO always.

I would love to hear from you how your journey with what causes you food restrictions and how you are living in the solution to them. 

Thanks for coming to the GoodPūD™  Store and I am eager to engage with your replies and comments!
