50) Have you always been nutritionally oriented or is this new?


This will be enough to get you started. I think you should print this and answer the questions. You yourself will find a pattern and will almost for certain link many of the problems you may be experiencing to your own bad habits. We sometimes are such creatures of habit that the craziest things become normal until you see them in print.

This list is also something to take with you when you start researching nutrition. If you are lucky enough to find someone nutritionally well versed and trained, they will be able to look at this list and give you a much focused nutritional program that you yourself will get great benefits from. If on the other hand, you go somewhere where the individual knows next to nothing, kindly say thank you and leave and go somewhere else. Never feel obligated to compromise with your health, NEVER.

Nutrition is like buying a car. Not everybody will fit in a corvette; some people need a truck, an SUV, or an economy car. The great thing is when you ask yourself questions and get a better grip on your own health, you actually narrow down the choices, which is a good thing. Good luck...

Away we go

 As 2011 is directly around the corner I have decided to start a new blog that will chart all the things I am doing in the media field as well as keeping you up to date with the field of health and nutrition. Being on the radio and working with the best guests in the industry I am in line for great information so that allows me to pass the information to me listeners and readers daily.


I hope to bring you new tools, literature, new testing and give you the best quality choices that WILL help you make changes every day that can and may change your life forever. As older aged diseases are trinkling down to younger ages every year we need to all be aware all the time of our health and everything that does and can influence it, both good and bad.
