We are the most obese nation on the planet.  How can this be?  We have more doctors, nutritionist, hospitals, gyms, health-clubs, and finances than all other nations put together!

This symptom, which is epidemic and is currently  trying to be legislated away, which will never work.  Did this work with prohibition? Did it work in the war on drugs?  The war against cancer?  Heart Disease?

This symptom is a result of our unwillingness to live in a healthy manner, both in our individual choices and as a consumer nation.  This includes antibiotics, hormones and environmental pollutants in our food , water and air!

The average cost to the insurance companies, disease care system (Allopathic Medicine), employers, etc is $5,000 per year for males and $2,500 per year for females for obesity.  This from the report ” A Heavy Burden: the individual costs of being overweight and obese in the United States” which considered lost wages, disease care costs (allopathic), short term disability, productivity loss, absences etc…

The principle added cost of obesity is your health and symptomatology.  Many people then seek relief through a magic pill, procedure or “guru”.  The only true cause of our suffering is in our HABITS and BELIEFS.  So to get healthy we must be willing to change at the core level.  Core level willingness is a self-honoring FIRE that will sustain you even when your body or memory resists.  See our previous blogs for some helpful hints.  If you are truly committed give us a call to start your journey in Health, Happiness & Success.
