AREAS OF FOCUS
Here’s My Approach

What are the benefits:

As many as 60-70% of Americans are obese this has and will lead to a myriad of medical problems both curable and preventable.

Fasting is a method or tool to change many things including decrease inflammation, eliminate type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, Hyperlipemia, high cholesterol and prevent cancer.

Fasting is an excellent avenue to health for those who may use it. Additionally, it may also increase confidence and general well-being. It can be an avenue to clarity of mind, happiness, realization of dreams and health, which everyone should experience.
