Youthing Essentials

Does this sound familiar?

Your week consists of running from business meeting to business meeting, eating on the go, sleeping when you pass out from exhaustion and putting your needs last - until your body demands attention, making you miss that important meeting or robbing you of the ability to focus. As a female executive, you barely have time to take a breath, let alone care for your health.

Poor Decisions = Lost Productivity

According to a recent article in Corporate Wellness Magazine, the CDC estimates that poor lifestyle and health behavior choices are responsible for as much as 70% of healthcare costs. Associated reduced capacity from poor health results in thousands of dollars in lost productivity annually. You can't perform at your best if you don't feel your best.

I Understand Stress

As a vice president at a Silicon Valley investment group, my work, association and family challenges left almost no time for me. I struggled to maintain balance. Luckily, I had a background as a nutritionist so I experimented with all the different products out there to cut through the hype and create a simple routine for fitness, energy and vitality.

Where to Start?

Everyone wants to feel better and experience increased focus. But where to start? I researched all the options out there. I put each product through a 10-step process that included evaluating the source of each ingredient, researching the viability and integrity of the vendor, and rating the experience I had using a product as recommended. I found that the best way to dramatically increase my energy and clarity levels was an integrated approach that addressed the four main health areas:

• Brain Health
• Nutrition
• Fitness
• Skin Care

Consistently using a 30-minute regimen of organic, certified products, along with specific brain and body exercises, I was able to improve my outlook and my effectiveness at home and work.
