My son Noah, a Mixed Martial Arts competitor, placed 3rd in his division at the North American Grappling Association ( NAGA ) event on July 8, 2023 earning him a bronze in NO-GI Jiu-Jitsu !   Muscle cells hold the key to endurance because they house 95 percent of the body's mitochondria, the digestive system of our cells.  Mitochondria take in nutrients and break them down using enzymes and oxygen creating energy for every part of the body. Mitochondria have their own set of mini DNA which are affected by lifestyle choices. Establishing consistency in proper nutrition including quality calories and supplements along with a commitment to workout, Noah 's mitochondria were multiplied, powered up and ready to take on the physical demands of his matches.  He currently is in training for his next NO-GI Jiu-jitsu competition August 26, 2023. 

GOLD MEDAL WINNER!  My son Noah placed 1st in his division NO-GI NAGA Tournament at the Long Island Garden Center, Long Island, NY on August 26, 2023.! Noah moved up a weight class and captured the gold. "He won all his matches via submission within a minute and a half or less!" My son Taylor, an aspiring film maker & a stellar man of God, stood by as Noah's coach.  What we behold - we become.  Keep your spiritual eyes, hearts, minds, and spirits gazing toward the end goal.  Keep your hearts upon the ultimate joy and not get side tracked with the process.  Hold steady. Listen to the Holy Spirit deep inside - your compass!

Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Psalm 103:5 ~ Who satisfies my mouth with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's

The body craves movement. Our body's natural state is to be healthy and strong at any age. Yes, our body's change as we age and, as we enter new phases in our lives, we are often faced with new personal experiences and challenges that can impact our health, behavior, and how we heal.  I will listen to to all of your health concerns and goals and I will stay alongside to support and encourage you.  Together, we'll tailor a nutrition program specific only to you. 

Did you know that your body will take about 3 weeks before it recognizes and adapts to a change in eating and/or to physical activity?  In 3 weeks time your cells, tissues, and organs will begin making adjustments, so that you may begin to look and feel healthier.  We'll discuss how to make lifestyle adjustments and how to be patient with yourself.
