INTRODUCTION
I’ve trained thousands of clients, worked with some of the biggest celebrities and
operated top medical clinics for more than two decades. I have been in the
trenches of weight loss and well-being, turning breakdowns to “breakthroughs.”
Everything I’ve learned has led me to write this book, which is a groundbreaking
program to help you recapture your good health and energy.
You will learn the simple reasons that you are feeling less than great and the
simple solutions to regaining vitality. I have been blessed to work in a preventive
care industry where I get to help people “wake up” to a new truth and a new way
of being. The life-changing program you’ll find in this book includes all the
tools in my arsenal to first give you an understanding of yourself and your body
—and then give you a permanent solution for health and happiness.
IS THIS YOU?
My grandmother is from the South and has many colorful phrases for how
people should live their lives. When she is really fed up with something and her
frustration hits an intolerable level, she says, “Honey, I’m just sick and tired!”
This sentiment is what I am hearing all over America—men and women are fed
up with being literally sick and tired. We have become frustrated, frazzled and
unhealthy—run-down and lacking the energy to live up to our true potential.
Many of us feel like we are rats on wheels, striving to keep our heads above
water while desperately trying to succeed at the things that matter most to us.
For some, it’s our careers; for others, it’s our families, or the desire to partner
and create a family. For many of us, it’s both.
You may feel as if you are fighting an uphill battle with yourself, relying on
quick fixes like energy drinks, processed foods and prescriptions to get you
through your days. We are living in a highly stressful and chemical-infused
country, where big companies make decisions based on the bottom line instead
of our well-being. Technology has changed our society into a fast-moving
freeway of constant information, with the average person checking his
smartphone 150 times a day! This connection to the world is wonderful but has
some serious side effects. The constant bombardment of information and
communication through advertising and social media can have an anxiety-
causing effect that makes your other lifestyle choices that much more important.
It’s a double-edged sword; our continual exposure to information, news (much
of it bad) and chatter makes us anxious—but then being unable to “connect”
makes us anxious, too! Take the recent research that found that 45 percent of
people unable to access their social media networks or email felt worried,
uncomfortable and anxious as a result.
We live in a “must-have-now society.” The problem is that our biology has
not fully adapted, and cellular breakdown, adrenal fatigue and sleep dysfunction
are wearing us down. The creation of many foods, products and environments
that cater to a busy lifestyle have startling and devastating effects on our
biochemistry and emotions. The foods we automatically reach for and those that
are easiest to find are all too often toxic to our bodies. This rampant exhaustion
doesn’t just ruin the quality of our lives today; it is also the warning sign and
beginning of inflammation and chronic illness down the line. It’s time to break
free from the environmental and biological drains that keep us exhausted.
Being sick and tired makes us:
Being sick and tired makes us:
Too tired to work out
Too cloudy to make the best food decisions Too stressed to be happy
and peaceful Too imbalanced to sleep deeply Through the years, it’s
become very clear that our health crisis runs deeper than weight, to the
very foundations of our energy and well-being. My clients don’t come to
me just so they can look amazing. They come to me so they can feel
amazing. And the two go hand in hand.
I’ll bet that you have spent a lot of time and energy attempting to start a
better lifestyle but low energy absolutely affects your ability to set and reach
your goals. You will learn that a lot of things you thought were right are actually
wrong, causing your body to function at constant “red alert.” In this program you
will learn how to: Reinvigorate cells and glands Have a body that’s lean
and clean Sleep like a baby
