Get stubborn pounds off for good, boost your energy levels and libido, stop mood swings
What if every day you woke up and:
... liked what you saw in the mirror?
... felt no aches and pains?
... had a digestive tract that worked?
... felt energized?
... felt purposeful, focused and joyful?
... felt restful?
... were disease free?
What would your life be like? What things would you be doing right now that you are not, because you do not have the energy or focus or self confidence?
I want to help you find your way to being the best you can be by showing you the keys to getting your body back. There are 7 basic keys to keeping your body full of life, energy, looking and feeling good, no matter what age you are. I want to give you these keys to unlock your body's wisdom so I am inviting you to a free Webinar that I will be giving on December 11th.
Once you understand these keys, you will be on your way to becoming disease free and feeling and looking wonderful. Now, how is that for health care reform? The insurance and pharmaceutical companies would not know what hit them if we all knew and really believed that our bodies were designed to heal themselves and not be riddled with cancer, diabetes, digestive problems, obesity, heart disease, depression, anxiety, ED, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.
To find out what these 7 Keys are, please join me for this free Webinar on December 11th, 5:30-6:30 PST. These keys will unlock the mystery of how to heal your body, lose stubborn weight, get rid of heartburn, food sensitivities, depression, migraines and feel and look ten years younger. For many of you, these 7 keys will be life changing. They will be the beginning of the way back to feeling well enough again to live life with energy, excitement and joy. This is more than just looking and feeling younger, although that is always nice, it's about getting your life back again.
If you can not make the designated time of the airing, no worries. A recording of the Webinar will be available for you to listen to for one week after airing but in order to have access to the recording, you will need to sign up for the Webinar. And again, this is free. I would like for everyone to know, that there is no need to be overweight, sick and/or tired. You do have the innate power change your body. You just need the right tools and that is what I will give you.

Please pass this on to anyone you know who may be interested in taking charge of their health and well-being and staying or becoming disease free. The more people I can reach and empower, the better the world will be. And I know that that may sound a bit overstated but if people feel good and whole then what they put out into the world can be wonderful! I have been privileged to watch this happen many times over with my clients from West to East coast.
This webinar is the first step to a renewed life. And you men, out there...this is for you too :-).

Your Fork is a Powerful Tool
Perhaps The Most Powerful Tool You Have…
The most powerful tool you have to transform your health or to keep your health is your fork! Use it well and you will thrive. Use it poorly and you will more than likely suffer. In my practice, I find that the less a person uses their fork, the more likely they are consuming foods that are high in bad fats, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, additives and preservatives, all of which are found in abundance in fast foods, chips, sodas, baked goods, and prepared and processed foods. What your fork needs to find are foods that are “whole” and real and living.
Whole, Living foods not only taste better, they make us feel better and are part of preventing disease. When we give our body Living, real food, it has the raw materials that it needs to heal and protect itself. Mounds of scientific evidence points to the power of food as medicine. These “medicinal” foods are simple and are what our bodies need to make us sparkle and feel alive!
We can treat and prevent most chronic illnesses with a whole, organic, real, unprocessed diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, small omega-3 containing fish like sardines and herring, and lean grass fed animal protein. These are basically,foods that our ancestors gathered and hunted. We have not evolved much over the past years and our bodies basically need the same nutrient rich food for fuel and optimal health. Whole, real, living foods are our first line of defense against disease, including autoimmune disease, cancers, depression, ADD, heart disease, diabetes and the myriad of other chronic diseases that we suffer from because we do not feed our bodies what they need.
So, how can you easily tell if a food is a Living food? It's actually very simple. It will spoil or change at room temperature in 7-10 days. (the exception is a dehydrated food) The fact that the food is changing means that it is still living and full of enzymes that our body needs to operate at a peak level. An example of this: Tortillas and breads should become moldy in about 7 days at room temperature. If they don't, they are no longer a living food but have been made inert with added preservatives, chemicals and/or heat. Dead foods do not help to keep our bodies energized and disease free and they "dumb" us down.

Foods to Avoid Forever:There are certain foods that should be avoided forever. They are not meant for human consumption. These are Frankenfoods that have been created by food scientists that benefit the food industry's pocket book, not you! They can be found in abundance in your friendly big grocery store chains, and in the myriad of fast food establishments.
Go into your kitchen: Look through your cabinets and throw away anything that contains ingredients on the list below. And when you go to the grocery store, make sure to read the ingredient labels of all foods you purchase to avoid reintroducing these substances into your home and diet.- High-fructose corn syrup (and corn syrup) This is a manufactured byproduct of corn (which 90% of is genetically modified in the US) and is a marker of poor-quality food, and has more harmful effects on your health than regular sugar. This sweetener is metabolized differently than sugar, through the liver and can actually cause a fatty liver and liver damage, in much the same way that alcohol can. Take a look at your Wheat Thins, Breakfast bars, cereals, ketchup, BBQ sauce, even your peppers in a jar to see if this sweetener has been added.
- Trans Fats.(aka as hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated oil) Do not be fooled by packaging that states there are zero trans fats or the nutrition label that says zero trans fats. You must read the ingredient label to see if there is hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils in the product. These fats are used to extend the shelf life and add creaminess and texture of baked goods, peanut butters, etc but these fats have been proven to cause heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. New York City has banned trans fats, and I hope you will too. (Read your Skippy and Jiff peanut butter ingredients. Take a look at your Mission Flour Tortillas.)
- Food additives, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners: The average person consumes pounds of these compounds every year. Aside from being harmful themselves, they bring with them many other poor quality ingredients. Stay away from the following:
- Artificial Sweeteners:Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal), saccharin (Sweet n’Low), sucralose (Splenda), acesulfame-K (Sunette, Sweet-n-Safe, Sweet One) What can you do instead? How about using a little bit of Stevia which is a natural herb or even a little bit of Inulin which is a mildly sweet powder that the beneficial bacteria in your gut gets nourishment from and grows. A couple of other sweetening ideas include, sucanat, and raw local honey.
- Any food additives:Potassium bromate, propyl gallate, sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate, monosodium glutamate, maltodextrin (you will be surprised at how many products have this little sweetener and interestingly enough, it is not counted as a sugar).
It really is simple. Just start eating whole real, fresh, organic (when you can), unprocessed food and watch how you look and feel so incredibly much better!
