Straight talk on helping people save their own lives through education and motivation
This website is dedicated to helping people change their lifestyle in a reasonable way. I live in the real world, not some theoretical one, and I’ll provide you with the down-to-earth information you need to get healthy and stay healthy. I’ll do my best to keep you motivated as well—I can’t do it for you, but I’ll show you how you can do it for yourself in your everyday life.
Good health is a choice.
I’m here to help you choose wisely.
There are many organizations and websites that are dedicated to helping save people’s lives; it’s admirable, but that’s not possible. Every person has to make the decision to save his or her own life by making the right lifestyle choices every day. It’s not easy. Fast food, drive-thrus, television commercials, convenience foods, refined foods, and portion sizes as large as Connecticut make maintaining a reasonable body weight challenging. Work, kids, voice mail, yard work, volunteer work, email, and spending time with your spouse make time for exercise seem impossible. The deck seems to be stacked against us.

Add to this mix an attitude typical of many men: whatever’s wrong, they have to tough it out. And women often take care of everyone else first and themselves last. Funny thing about a heart attack—you can’t just walk it off, and you can’t wait until later to deal with it.
The result of all these influences:
we don’t live as long
and we don’t live as healthily as we should.
So let’s work together to change that end point. Let’s get healthier for ourselves, our families, and our communities. It all comes down to a single question:
