About Me

When I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis a year ago after a bone scan, I was offered a prescription for Fosomax. Since I knew from my own research that Fosomax is not good for you, (See Osteoporosis Information) I sought other ways to increase my bone density. I increased my weight bearing exercise, walking and rebounding, and improved my diet.

Being thin, it was hard to get the weight-bearing exercise I needed. Then I discovered the weighted vest. A weightvest enables even the thinnest person to have good weight-bearing exercise without going to the gym. I tried many of the vests on the market and none of them felt good so I designed my own. I was a movement therapist for many years so I knew how to design a vest that will improve movement and feel safe.

Now I feel happy to add the weightvest to my products. It seems that I always have plenty of new ideas and enough energy to carry them out. For this I am truly grateful. A couple of years ago I realized I had Candida and I had very low energy. I was diagnosed shortly after with Diabetes and realized that a lifestyle change was in order. I avoid doctors as much as possible and don't take drugs so I set out to learn how to heal myself. The internet is such a blessing for people who want to take back control of their health. I know there are many scams and I got caught by some, but there is also an incredible amount of information that I could never have accessed any other way.

I have experimented with many different diets in the last two years and went down to 100 lbs while trying to keep my blood sugar under control. Now I am feeling very robust and strong and hope to regain a little more muscle so I don't look so scrawny. I am eating Dr Rosedale's diet and it feels very healthy and nutritious to me. With this diet and my regular exercise I can keep my blood sugar levels in the safe range.

Looking back, my fifties were the hardest decade for me, so this year when I hit sixty I made up my mind it would be my best decade yet. It's working so far. The power of Spirit, the power of mind, good nutrition and plenty of exercise are all lined up to keep me the best that I can be.

Update: 2008

Since I was giving out so much nutritional advice to women who called me I got a Nutritional Counselor certificate so that I could share my knowledge with more credibility.

I am actually doing phone consultations on nutritional matters. If you are interested please call 1805 684 4071.
