Your career is probably one of your greatest stressors. You want to earn more income. You want to receive more recognition for your hard work. You want more of a challenge. You want to be more dedicated. You want to thrive and succeed.

Many clients come to me burned out from working day in and day out. They have low energy and trouble sleeping. They lack passion for life. They are searching for that drive and focus that they used to have.

All of my successful clients shared certain traits. Perhaps the most important trait was trust. They trusted themselves and they trusted me. Their body was screaming for

In the age which we live there is an unprecedented focus on getting and staying healthy. As more and more research points to the effect of fitness and nutrition on our overall health, the findings become more difficult to ignore. There is no doubt that the food that we eat and the physical activity that we perform significantly impact our weight and our body s overall health and longevity.

When you look at fitness and nutrition and the consequences of ignoring their importance, it is not difficult to see how large a role they play in our health. First and foremost, it is important to understand how powerfully diet can affect us. Natural, whole foods such as

fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins give our bodies the vitamins that it needs to function effectively. We have energy when we eat right. And when we have energy we burn fat. Eating properly allows us to maintain a healthy weight and keep undue stress off of our hearts; it also allows us to keep our blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the healthy range. Most importantly, good nutrition keeps our bodies stocked with antioxidants that fight off a range of illnesses including cancer.

The doctors encourage her have an abortion, but she refused. Her refusal saved my life, but threatened hers. Fortunately, both of us were healthy.

Born with three holes in my heart and rheumatoid arthritis in my joints, my entrance into the world was rocky. This should have foretold my future, and it did. At 14-years-old, I was diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever. They have only been 714 cases in the United States. Symptoms of familial Mediterranean fever are flu like with drastic weight

lost around 20 pounds per week. The doctor prescribed antibiotics, but they reacted with other medication I was on and sent me into convulsions. When the convulsions were under control, the doctor mentioned the side effects of the antibiotics I was taking. They included bleeding and sterility. At 14-years-old, I made a tough decision not to take the antibiotics.
