| Introduction | As of June 29, 2011 I have begun a new journey in my life. Yes, after living in Utah for the past 31 years, I have finally traded my snow boots and sweaters for flip flops and tank tops…I moved to Maui. Looking back, I had set this intention long ago. I have said many times “I was meant to live in a warm, tropical location” while having a conversation with someone and complaining about how cold I was. About 5 years ago I started making a lifestyle change that has evolved into a passion for Health and Wellness. The changes I’ve made through healthy eating and exercise have changed my life and set me on a new path. I feel better now than I did in my 20’s. Once I started making changes and seeing results it was like a snowball effect, I wanted to learn more about nutrition and health. I have done a lot of research and experimenting and learned a lot over the years. I feel a calling to share this information with others so they can improve their health to whatever level they desire. I will be starting a course with The Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become certified as a Holistic Health Coach…..A new chapter begins for me! |

| Favorite books | Thrive- The Vegan Nutrition Guide and Thrive Fitness, both by Brendan Brazier. He is a professional Iron Man Tri-athlete. These books are awesome for understanding how both fitness and nutrition can raise the quality of your life in all aspects. China Study by T. Colin Campbell- the best research book I've read on how nutrition so profoundly affects your health. Eat to Live or Eat for Health by Dr. Joel Fuhrmann- A foundational book on Reversing and Preventing disease through the basic concept of nutrition with Whole Foods. Engine 2 diet by Rip Esselstyn- He's a fireman and a triathelete that challenged his coworkers to follow a 28 day challenge to improve their health (weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar levels) the concept is Plant Strong, no sugars, oils and low sodium. The results are awesome- anyone can do this! |
