Jan 22 The 7 year Old Hamburger....It's True

This McDonalds hamburger has been passed between my client and I for 7 years, much to his wife’s irritation. It all started as a simple conversation about a YouTube video I saw that he didn’t believe. The video was about a guy who forgot about a McDonalds hamburger in his coat pocket for several days, but nothing happened to it. My client didn’t believe me, and rightly so, it should have started to mold and decompose, but didn’t. So we decided to do a little experiment ourselves, 7 years ago!! We bought a McDonalds hamburger and it did not decompose, mold or go rancid. How is that even possible?? I don’t know, what I do know that if it doesn’t decompose like real food it is safe to assume, it’s not real food and it is full of preservatives. When we eat food that is not natural, how does it impact our bodies? Does it create stagnation, toxicity, and digestive upset? Yes, to all of the above. Words of advice, be very mindful when eating out, and what you are putting in your body. Ask yourself, is this real food? Will this help fuel me or will it cause disease? Happy eating all!

Hey there!

Eating, body awareness, my overall health and self esteem have always been a struggle for me, so I understand and have intimate knowledge about what you may be going through.

I started out as a wheezy asthmatic kid in and out of hospitals and often attached to oxygen. I was told “No” a lot for fear of triggering an asthma attack, so there was minimal exercise and limited exposure to potential allergens.

I never really thought about being “fat” or how my body looked until I had to take steroids and gained a lot of weight which I definitely did not grow out, as hoped by the doctors and my parents.

This started my journey towards self hatred and my poor relationship with food. After years of struggling I decided that I needed to educate myself on how our bodies work, how food affects our health and how to properly exercise.

I have been a Personal Trainer for over 15 years and a Holistic Nutritionist for over 5 years.

I know what it feels like to be lethargic, sick and have no idea why. It doesn’t have to be this way, I can help you learn how your diet is directly affecting your energy levels, your over all health and your moods.

You must be tired of feeling crappy all the time, I know there is a better way. Let’s figure this out together.
