dedication

we have all been dedicated to something at some point in our lives

obviously certain things take center stage

others we brush aside

but sometimes you can be that person that triggers something in someone

for me there is on greater feeling

my clients have all been so on top of their game

for the past few months

some have done the "2 week challenge"

a handful of those

have seen such great results in those 2 weeks

and turned 2 into 6

(some still on it)

along with those clients

the rest,

have been here every chance they could

& THEY WORK THEIR BUTTS OFF!

THEIR MESSAGE:

The secret to healthy beautiful skin is really no secret at all....

It's simple.

Pure and Simple Workout

Physical exercise promotes stress reduction, muscle strength, youthfulness, and energy, not to mention an overall balance of mind, body and spirit.

There is nothing more rewarding when you start to feel your muscles work and your mind and body reconnect. Circuit training provides a sensible way to concentrate on strengthening and toning different muscle groups. With the same objective in mind, our Skin Fitness workout routine concentrates on perfecting your skin by rotating different treatments.

Any qualified trainer will tell you that ones body adapts to a specific form of exercise to the point that it is no longer as effective. In the same way our skin constantly needs to be introduced to a new routine. Initially, when we try a new product our skin looks and feels great, but after a while we no longer feel the same benefits. With our unique rotation therapy your skin is constantly being challenged, energized and revitalized.

Just as your body needs supplemental minerals and vitamins, Skin Fitness provides your skin with essential daily nutrients. Unlike commercial products containing chemical additives that are often harmful to your skin, our therapeutic treatments combine the purity and potency of nature's healing agents. Skin Fitness effectively stimulates and redefines your skin with the finest of all natural ingredients and ultra concentrated formulas. With our commitment to creating a healthy youthful appearance Skin Fitness provides you with 'Back to Basic' nutrition for your skin.

will give you a full product report

over & out

addiction/suppression

it's amazing the connection we have to food

our associations with contentment

happiness

joy

pleasure

excitement

even companionship

sugar

salt

grease

carbs

processed "goodies"

my my......the power of suppression that food holds

INCREDIBLE

you are feeling something and what do you know

the next thing you know

your head is in the fridge

WHO HAS BEEN THERE?

the addiction i have felt to food is ridiculous

"i know this is bad for me"

"i know i dont need this right now"

"i know that i doing this because my mind is telling me not to"

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

being a nutritionist

working with blood sugar stabilization

eating every 3 hours

food is your life

food/meal planning takes over

you can plan properly

or you can let food rule your life

once you realize that food is fuel

not pleasure

or a stress reliever

then you can really face your problems

SUGAR

CAFFINE

ALCOHOL

NICOTINE

all effect Brain Chemistry

our emotions

and sugar

"The Society of Neuroscience claims drugs,

such as morphine, and sugar act on the same pleasure receptors

in the brain which makes certain individuals want more of the substance."

two brain chemicals,

serotonin and beta-endorphin,

tend to be lower in sugar sensitive individuals.

These two chemicals can influence your mood and energy levels.

They make us feel mellow, content, and even help block pain

similar to the way you feel at the end of a GREAT workout!

withdrawals can lead you to feel emotional, depressed & just out of whack!

Eating sugar increases the release of these brain chemicals,

but the effect this has in a sugar sensitive person can be dramatic. Sugar can make the sugar sensitive person feel giddy, confident, lively, talkative, and other symptoms similar to having too many alcoholic drinks!

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW YOURSELF FOR REAL?

thoughts become more clear

your body will start to function properly

things will start to happen

many issues will probably surface

this is your chance to get to the root of the problem

you can conquer this!

AS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ONCE SAID TO ME

"GO OUTSIDE

LAY IN THE GRASS

STARE AT THE SKY

AND WAIT FOR THE EARTH TO MOVE"

IF YOU CAN SIT WITH YOURSELF

THE PROCESS HAS BEGUN

BE STILL

LISTEN

& START TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
