Individually we all have the Power to make the decisions we know to be best for us. We also have the power to Influence ourselves and our loved ones to take Responsibilityfor out actions. When we take responsibility for our actions we can then make the necesary Changesto improve our individual health, contribute to a healthier America and help to reduce to the long term cost of our healthcare.
The only institution able to produce this type of change is the American Family!
1. Quality Family Relationships – Mother, Father, Brothers and Sisters
2. Proper Nutrition – Metabolic Typing
3. Proper Exercise – Movement
4. Spiritual/Emotions – Motivating Interest – Desire To Be Better
None of the 4 items listes above requires a politician. Each requires all of us to prioritize our health over other less important pursuits. If you are a parent, health and wellness must be one of your top priorities. If not You and Your Family will live a less vital, less meaningful and shorter life!
The answer is simple they both stink. When you view the video above you will learn that in 2008 we spent $2.3 Trillion on healthcare. It is estimated that by the year 2019 we will spend $4.5 Trillion on healthcare.
Guess how long it would take us to pay off $2.3 Trillion if we paid $1 every second of everyday? how about if we tried to pay off $4.5 Trillion the same way? The video above has the answers.
I have a favor to ask you. If you feel like you have friends who might benefit from the information in this video interview series be sure to send them to this site!

Current Healthcare:
In 2008 Americans Spend $2.3 trillion on healthcare. In contrast we spent $253 billion in 1980 and $714 billion in 1990.
It is estimated that our National Health Expenditure will increase from 16.2% to 17.3% of our GDP from 2008 to 2009. This would represent the largest one year increase in history.
Seventy Five percent of national healthcare expenditure is spent on chronic disease.
Since 1999 family premiums for employer based health coverage have increased by 131%.
Based on past behavior of politicians most Americans are skeptical about thier motives as they relate to healthcare.
