Facing the Facts of
Today's "Food" & Nutrition
We all have to grow and adapt to our surroundings every second of each new day we get to be a part of and this is a blessing. The present is just that – an always giving gift that many take for granted. We are here to play an active role as the superstar of our lives! Yeah, I just got a little cheesy (maybe), but seriously what is stopping you? For whatever reason our lives are OFF, so why would we not fix this?! For lack of better words to describe the many reasons or excuses people come up with to complain about this or that throughout the day or what could seem like every day is off, or out of balance. At our core, all we need is to restore the natural, balanced state of ourselves – body, mind, and soul.
For each of us, how we do this differs. But, at the most basic level, to allow our minds to open to the wonderful possibilities that are just as much at our fingertips as information – and where facts, stats & data show to be the most detrimental part of our lives – it all starts with our health. We have all seen people who seem like they have it all and look so “perfect and healthy” from the outside to those who struggle to get up from the couch, rich or poor, book-smart or dumb-smart, and the list goes on and on. NONE of this matters! No, Seriously, NONE of it matters!! When we don’t take the time and responsibility – I know, watch out, people really don’t like that word these days lol – to actually make time for ourselves and our health.
We all hear the words diet and supplementation being used together often along with staying active or working out. Since I have never really been one who is into the last piece of that (exercise), I have always played team sports and been particular about my food. But, no matter how healthy I thought I ate (no fast food, minimal fried food, no soda, a lot of water, salads, etc.) and worked out my tail end like crazy – even going to gym classes before 6AM before commuting to work as someone who is NOT a morning person – I still managed to have high cholesterol, eczema breakouts, allergies, hypothyroidism, barely there 1½-2 pack, lactose intolerance (since birth), occasional depressive, shut-myself-away-from-everyone periods (2-3 times a year), stress-related Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and other not pleasant diseases that are probably too personal for our purposes right now (Trust Me) before the age of 25. I wasn’t complaining, though, and always thought it could be worse.
But, going organic was a no-brainer for me after finding out about all the artificial, GMO-filled junk that is being sold to us as “food.” It made a great deal of sense, was beneficial to the environment, others and myself, and honestly just felt right. Trusting our gut and intuition (or for the more awakened individuals – allowing ourselves to give into our spiritual selves) I don’t believe could ever steer us in the wrong direction as long as we are being honest with ourselves. As a business, money, and sweet-talk skeptic having grown up in New York, however, I had to see it to believe it – it had to make sense to me AND I had to feel it to believe it!
I hadn’t ever before even considered that vitamins weren’t all the same or could ever really have a substantial impact on my life, but then a single strip of Shaklee Vitalizer turned my world rightside-up. Within hours (Yup! Just hours), I can and do swear on my life and that of everyone I love – I actually felt a difference AND Still Do. Sure, I can share all the over 55 years of scientific research behind these products that are environmentally friendly, natural, never animal tested, Olympic athletes safe, non-GMO, non-toxic; or the longevity, history, integrity, and authenticity of the company and its incredible leaders (Dr. Shaklee, founder, & Roger Barnett, present-day CEO); or the many, many personal stories I have had the pleasure of hearing by meeting people who themselves have overcome obesity, cancer, fibromyalgia, asthma, infertility, diabetes, arthritis and this list really could go on forever of things way more serious than I would ever wish upon anyone. None of this matters, in my opinion, if you don’t see if or how YOU feel a difference.
Changing to a healthy, organic diet is progressive and takes time, but is beyond worth it! Diet alone isn’t enough now, though, and high-quality, scientifically backed natural vitamins from Shaklee are effective, easy, and have more immediate results than other vitamins with its cutting-edge delivery system. We have generations of junk clogging up the cells and organs in our body that keep us OFF, or out of balance, all starting back with our umbilical cord. This vital, feeding tube is cut for us, though, forcing us to change how we operate. Now it is our turn to cut a more abstract cord that the medical, pharmacy, and corporate systems use to diminish and eventually suck the health and money out of us. NOW it is our turn to cut the crap and lead with love – starting with ourselves & our health. I can and will help you as an honest friend who wants to see you reach your goals while getting on a nutritious track.
Together, I will work with you to make the most effective diet changes that work with your lifestyle and alleviate unpleasant symptoms or weight that is holding you back. I call it my combination of being smart with heart to C’est la vie with a sensible, holistic strategy!
