Back in the Saddle Again. Part II

Here I am finally sitting back down in front of my computer able to spend some time blogging again. My apologies for the delay in writing, but things have been a little hectic lately. As I mentioned in an earlier post, things are starting to come together for Evelyn and I at Physicians Fitness Solutions, LLC. We are finally gaining some traction in a lot of areas, and I believe 2009 will be our best year ever. I am working with a group of local health, fitness and wellness experts to promote our Phytness Solutions platform throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counites in the coming weeks, with statewide roll-out in early 2009. This leads to the Bigger and Better News about our expansion plans for 2009.
As you know, Dr. Wells has been a featured author on http://www.jumpsnapnation.com/ and will be featured in their upcoming infomercial. We are following up with plans to release a series of instructional videos and webinars aimed at promoting the interaction between disciplines within the health and fitness arena. We will be hosting forums with MD's, DO's, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, Personal Trainers, Dieticians, Nutritionists, Holistic Nurses and many other health care providers in search of finding common ground in the fight against Obesity, Diabetes, Cancer, and other common health problems.
Often times clients complain about the wide range of contradictory information they recieve from their primary care physician, various specialists, personal trainers, etc. They are constantly bombarded with the "Next Big Thing in Weight Loss", only to be disappointed and left in a dazed and confused state. It is the responsibility of Health Care Providers to try and find a common sense approach to working together to get the best results for their common clients. Alternative Medicine has to a degree been accepted as Complimentary Medicine, but their is still a lot of resistance to more holistic approaches to health and wellness. Their is a HUGE casm between MD's and DO's when it comes to treatment options, and this must change in order for us to come to terms with the current health care crises we are facing. We have to lace our boots up and get back in the saddle, because this is one journey that must be taken before it is too late. Please let me know your thoughts on the state of healthcare in America???

Another Phytness Weekend!!

Although the weather wasn't very cooperative, this was a great weekend to spend in Asbury Park.  On Saturday we participated in the Liberty Natural Gas Boardwalk Relay Against Hunger.  This was a wonderful event put on by Liberty Natural Gas, NJBankers, and the Jersey Shore Running Club (JSRC) to emphasize National Hunger Action Month.  All proceeds went to the NJ Federation of FoodBanks to fight hunger in New Jersey.  As a member of JSRC, it was a pleasure to participate for such a worthy cause.  Race Day Registration and the After-Party were held at The Stone Pony, with music by GOLDENSEAL.  Refreshments were provided by WINDMILL. Although the course was a little wet, the rain stayed away and a good time was had by all.  For future events vist www.JSRC.org

On Sunday I participated in the FIZIKEL Empower the Youth Day Paddle for Power, which was a celebration of Founder Jay Taylor's paddling from NY to the Jersey Shore.  The weather held out for most of the day, allowing Jay to make his way to Asbury Park and a wonderful event.  Their were fitness and agility classes, skateboarding, unicycle, and BMX demos, a Silent Auction, and a variety of vendors all getting together to help the youth of Asbury Park.  The FIZIKEL Foundation is a great organization founded on the principles of Focus, Intention, Zeal, Intensity, Knoweledge, Endurance, and Leverage.  These principles help the Youth of Asbury Park discover their hidden talents inspiring and educating them on a wide variety of topics.  Tim and I look forward to working with Jay, Pam, Ty and the rest of the FIZIKEL team to enrich the lives of as many local children as we can.

Members of Team Phytness Solutions also participated in the Men's Health Urbanathalon in NYC on Saturday and had a wonderful time at an after party BIG enough for the City That Never Sleeps!!  Visit MensHealth.com for information.  If you look REALLY close to some of the pictures of people scaling the wall, you can catch me waiting patiently for my husband Tim to finih last years event.  That's one of the benefits of running the first leg, your well rested enough to cheer on your teammates at the finishline.  Due to procrastination on Tim's part we were unable to join our friends in NYC this year, but as I mentioned earlier we had a GREAT time in Asbury Park at the Boardwalk Relay Against Hunger!!! 

That's it for now.  I'll post more often moving forward.
