t was so much fun serving at the Senior Adult Valentine's Day Brunch at my church this past Saturday. Kudos for all who showed up on that snowy day! Everyone had so much fun, and I was blessed to be part of it. This video shows all the fun! No photos of me in the video, but I am in the "credits". Thanks, Teresa for putting this together, event and video!

Out of the 80 seniors who signed up for this brunch, we didn't think any would show temperatures were in the 20s with 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. So I ...

Some people ask about my journey towards being a health coach, so here is a video explaining that and why I am passionate about helping others transform their health a step at a time. Sit back and enjoy the story...

My journey:
🥬started when I was young
🍎a family health scare drove me to change
🥒people asked my opinion about health
🍋I became a health coach client and learned I had been misinformed (gasp!!)
🥦After many obstacles I became a coach
🫑Helping people is so inspiring
🥥People end up with a new healthy life they love.

What's in your bag of chocolate chips?

I get it.
I felt this way too. I felt I couldn’t afford to be coached or add organics to my routine. However, I did decide to invest in being coached, and that investment was pivotal for me.

❓Why?

😮I learned that even though I had been doing some things right, I had been misinformed about SO much more.

✅I learned that 60% of our health is determined by our behaviors, and only 30% is determined by our DNA. I have some measure of control over my health!

💰I learned that investing in my health now will allow me to enjoy that investment I’ve made in my retirement years, rather than spending it sick 😷 in bed or at medical appointments.

✅I learned that food 🥬quality is key so I switched to buying organic and shopping the store perimeter as much as possible.

✅I realized that spending more on quality food could end up being cheaper in the long run if I can reduce the risk of or prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other illnesses along with reducing or eliminating the need for expensive medications. I have to eat anyway, so why not?

The RESULTS 📈of investing in a coach and some new habits?

✅I felt better. I had more energy ⚡️. I had better thinking. I slept better. I still enjoy physical activities. 🥾🚴‍♂️

You have to understand that I was fairly healthy when I learned all this science-based information. Or at least I thought I was. And I improved. And I try to learn more every chance I get.

The coaching was pivotal in my life, so much so, that I became even more passionate about wanting to help others experience what I did, so I changed my career!

♥️I’d love to help you experience feeling better and living a full life.
