My grandmother had a stroke. My mother was diagnosed with cancer and had a double mastectomy. Of course, the medications we're prescribed as we get older, whether or not we have severe problems, create harsh side effects.
My grandmother stopped taking her daily walks after she started taking statins... Her health started slipping when she stopped her walking. That's when I realized there has to be a healthier way to stay healthy!
Initially, I thought it would be tough: Eating right, exercising and watching my stress levels. After all, I live in LA where stress is a competitive sport and Dodger Dogs are a rite of passage! Then I found a variety of holistic alternatives and ways to change my lifestyle in moderation, allowing me to be healthy and still enjoy life.
Now, my work is all about helping others find healthier ways to stay healthy!
