Why do people lie? And, if you choose to lie, why do you then shamefully verbally and/or physically assault the person who called you on your lies? I apologize, but this article is not my usual health-focused-inspire-you-kind-of-article. Rather, it’s about what I’ve tragically discovered, while running my business solo in GA for the past nine

Perception of One’s Self


I’ve often wondered how some people can gain 50, 70, even 100+ pounds, but never realize it. After 44 plus years of working in the health/fitness industry, I finally understand “how.” First of all, I gladly devote most of my time to training women over 45 years of age. I do so, because these women

Speak Up, Ladies. It is Your Moral Obligation.


This article is with regard to Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Bill Shine, Bill O’Reilly, and the many other predatory men like them. It is a harsh reality that (some) men with power, feel they have the right to abuse women, be it sexual or otherwise. The many actresses who are speaking out against Weinstein is just

BMI: Inaccurate. Ineffective. Dangerous.


I would hope that in this year of 2017, medical professionals would have the basic knowledge about what constitutes a healthy body. And it’s not BMI. Body mass index is not based on science. It is false. It is misleading. Yet, doctors everywhere are using this useless scale to determine their patient’s health. I recently
