On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn how to Never Be Fat Again and Never Be Sick Again from Raymond
Francis, founder of Beyond Health. Raymond is an M.I.T.-trained scientist and an expert in supplement chemistry. He has been called “one the few scientists to achieve a breakthrough understanding of health and disease.” And that endorsement wasn’t given to him by his good friend actor, Rob Schneider.I don’t know how he did it but Rob Schneider went on the Jimmy Kimmel show and basically did an infomercial for Raymond’s philosophy and books. You have to check it out on his website.
Raymond has created an interesting model of health that addresses the causes of disease rather than treating its symptoms. When you address the causes, he says the problems disappear. He believes there is only ONE DISEASE and only TWO CAUSES of disease. He wouldn’t tell us what they were but he said his website could give us a lot of good information about it.
The health information on his website and in his books Never Be Sick Again and Never Be Fat Again as well as his newsletter Beyond Health News is designed to inform you of health choices that will empower you to choose health, helping you to get well, stay well and never be sick again. During the interview he gave us great tips like eat fresh fruits and veggies, don’t eat processed foods, use high quality supplementation and make sure you get enough calcium. He also mentioned that because the soil contains much less minerals and nutrients you have to eat a lot more vegetables and fruits to get the same level of nutrition as you would have 50 years ago. So he thinks supplements are the way to go. Please check out his website www.beyondhealth.com for more information.
We started the show and we ended the show with Danielle Tiano and Karen Child. They flew all the way from Southern California to meet with us live int he studio. They are the creators of the Temptation of a Generation series of books. While this may seem off topic for us, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy are both parents who care deeply about protecting children from unnecessary harm and that’s exactly what these two brilliant ladies do.
The Temptation of a Generation series is the first children’s series to tackle the tough issues today’s kids face in the information age. The series addresses pre-teen and adolescent issues such as self-image, technology addiction, relationships and more. With beautifully detailed illustrations, the books create a visual experience and teach important life lessons that will serve children well into adulthood.
Both Danielle and Karen have a passion to protect, educate and entertain children and they believe that the best way to do that is through the parents.
Their books begin by encouraging young readers to think about what effect technology has on their lives, specifically the 
activities and relationships they miss out on by focusing on the Internet and other electronics. The first in the series, Temptation of a Generation, explains the stages of Internet addiction and how the pornographic industry targets children as young as 8-years old.
Many families do not know how to open the forbidden lines of communication regarding sex and pornography, yet it needs to be addressed in every home…their books are the tool to do so. Some parents want to have “the talk” but don’t know how; others are too busy or naive thinking that problems will never find their child. After introducing the tough topic to your child, Danielle and Karen provide questions to facilitate a discussion and a worksheet to help develop Internet boundaries for your home. This series of books is a must have for every parent of kids who are online. Please go to their websites and get more information and buy their books. www.temptationofageneration.com, www.beyondyourwords.com, www.karenchildmft.com and www.lifestarsocal.com. They have a newsletter and they are available to help you help your kids.
We also had on Minda Burr, author of The Art of Fun and The Power of Play Workbook. Minda shared her experiences helping people regain their sense of fun. She does exciting workshops on the Art of Fun and uses her background as a drama coach to get her clients to loosen up, let their hair down and wake up their inner child. Please check out her website www.mindaburr.com for more information about her book and to see if there is a workshop coming to your city. BTW she designs the most amazing jewelry, you can see some of it on her website as well.
Next we had on Michelle Bersell, author of the book Emotional Abundance: Become Empowered. This book has been called an owners manual to your emotions. Michelle is a psychotherapist and life coach who teaches us how to honor our authentic selves and utilize our emotional process to reveal the direction that will support us to live our best life.
She believes that most of us have been going about our lives getting by with what we feel we can handle. Our lives do not feel balanced because they are so full. There is so much that we must be responsible for that our days feel dictated by those demands. When we are living like this, she call it “survival mode.”
Survival mode is living our life based on what we need to do to get by each day and fulfilling the demands placed on us.
Unfortunately, when we are in survival mode, we feel depleted and run down, which means we are not truly living. this is where we are susceptible to being overweight. If you are struggling with your weight Michelle says “Don’t be a victim to your weight” Instead of “shoulding” yourself with put downs try focusing on what is going to best serve you. Are you really willing to honor yourself? For more information please go to Michelle’s website www.michellebersell.com. You can order her book at www.emotionalabundance.com.
