About Kaizen Total Wellness

Foreword

As the founder and CEO of the Kaizen Total Wellness program, I am pleased to recommend this book to all of our patients, friends, and anyone looking for a practical and encouraging approach to improving their health. Please look at this more as a reference book rather than a HOW TO or novel.

Several years ago, I too got caught up in an unhealthy lifestyle consisting of too much work, eating too much sugar and not exercising. Yes, it was always, I’ll start tomorrow. But one day tomorrow finally came. Utilizing the methods outlined in this book, I slowly changed my lifestyle. This meant healthier food choices, not diet or deprivation. It meant increased activities, not exercise(sounds too much like work.)

After a few months, the pounds were coming off very quickly. Because I was so successful and it was so easy, we decided to offer this as the first stage of the Kaizen Total Wellness Program. We know that nutrition is very important but too many people have their own misconceptions of what a diet should be. We still NEED sugars, fats and proteins, but the RIGHT sugars, fats and proteins.

Exercise will increase endorphins and serotonin, which will give you more energy and improve your mood. Exercise will also naturally increase natural growth hormones which are also a very effective anti-aging agent.

Consistent with my philosophy of health (smart choices, no gimmicks) Barbara explains in a very engaging style how anyone can benefit from using the Kaizen approach.

Hopefully reading this book will help with a positive attitude about your health. Like they say in the golf world, visualize a bad shot and you have no chance of being successful; picture the ball going in the hole and the odds go up dramatically!

Good luck and please call us if you have any further questions.
