My Mission
As a health & wellness professional my genuine purpose is to reach people of all cultures and backgrounds on a personal level in order to enable them to achieve their most personal health goals. By being the conduit through the essence of nutrition, fitness and overall wellness,  I believe that it is important to think Bold, otherwise we may be missing out.

I believe that by empowering people to change the way they think and feel will ultimately lead to a healthier lifestyle that they are more likely to maintain. 

 
FEATURED ARTICLES
Here are articles related to the field of health and wellness that chose to Go Boldly into the world of fitness and nutrition!

This information is potentially useful to anyone with ambition to improve their health and fitness, various medical conditions, physical rehabilitation or simply in need of improvement through a fitness program specific to weight loss or nutrition. 
Workplace Wellness

By Jennifer Koslo, PhD, RD, CSSD, CPT

Professor, Kaplan University School of Health Sciences

Workplace Wellness was selected due to my general interest in creating optimal wellness and healthy habits for either the average person or a seasoned athlete. The research being presented here is designed as a series of articles that provide clear and simple recommendations with tools for creating wellness and improving healthy habits while at work. With focus on key areas associated with wellness including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, CAM, and various strategies designed for the establishment and maintenance of new habits, each article provides a detailed overview and recommended activity for them all.
Stress Buster
By James Porter, President of Stress Stop.com
Health Day News
Stress Buster is a general reminder that we can simply resolve a stressful moment or prevent stress from happening through mindfulness. Beneficial to anyone including health care providers, mindfulness can be applied to consuming issues, while taking a walk or driving, but never loses its effectiveness when simply focusing intently on what is happening right on front of you. Our thoughts are illustrated as potentially toxic when inconsistently moving either forward or backwards.
  • When thinking moves forward --> creates feelings of anxiety and worry that issues are permanent
  • When thinking moves backward --> the past can create anger and upset about what cannot be changed
Applying the Principles of Exercise
By Dr. Hector R. Morales-Negron, PhD
Adjunct Professor
Kaplan University School of Health Sciences
The article Applying the Principle of Exercise to your Personal Fitness Program, can be beneficial to the fitness specialist for efforts in providing the most accurate and proactive formula for individual wellness. Frustration and lack of motivation are commonly associated with the average person, a rehabilitating athlete or even the elderly who find it a little more difficult to achieve goals that were once simpler. The article challenges any personal fitness program to the concepts of progression, regularity, overload, variety, recovery, realism, balance and specificity as means of evaluation of the program's potential.
