Living the Dream

 

 

To live out our dreams, most of us need to stay in good health. Looking ahead, there are steps we can all take now to prevent the chronic disease that may be lurking around the corner, like diabetes and cognitive decline. The good news is that we now know our genes alone don't predict our future.

 

Dramatic reductions in the prevalence of illness in our society could be achieved if more people initiated a preventive program long before any symptoms appeared. The belief that you can choose new actions to change your future and your family's responsibility of care is really powerful.

 

My name is Janine Garcia, and I am a Board-Certified Ambulatory Care pharmacist. Hundreds of patients have taught me by their live stories how small everyday choices can have a big effect on our health later. So when my husband and I turned 40, we started to make smarter decisions on what we ate, prioritized our sleep more and made a conscious effort to exercise.

 

After both feeling and seeing the benefits of our lifestyle change, I decided that I wanted  to help others through this health transformative journey. Just be warned, improving your lifestyle is contagious, and you will likely positively lift up those around you.

I been there and perserved to figure out how to simplify things. Given my experience and training, I am offering the Living the Dream course to individuals who want to build up their energy ad resilency as they age.
