Amazing! I have been preaching this with clients since first certified as a Fitness Trianer in 1995! This approach was a natural as I counceled patients on it as a D.C. for 6 years previous to that! Even recently had a book published about this and how to go about it! DrDavidRobinson4Health

You have my full support! I am a professional Health and Wellness Coach and have been dealing with weight loss issues for 5 years. I am the owner and founder of my own Health Coaching Company, BodyVision SL, and we work using the philosophy that 'health' is like a pyramid shape with you standing on top of the foundation you have build for yourself below. Health is a combination of things, not just a 'race' to the 'finish'. When you form the base of mental, physical, emotional, one might' include also spiritual health, what once seemed like the ceiling above your head now becomes the floor under your feet and forms the starting point of other great things to happen to you, other great goals you want to pursue. Good luck with the program and I am sure the fabulous professionals will help the community really make significant and sustainable progress! from Tatiana Abend
