Why Trust Me?

Because you are easy prey for cosmetic, supplement, food and drug companies. 

These are billion dollar industries who know that if you are insecure regarding body image, wrinkled, athletic, aging, in pain, bodybuilding or overweight..they have just the product for you to make a change.  But the only change you will ever see is in your bank account.

I have spent a lifetime becoming educated and staying educated in order to separate the scams from the legitimate claims.

I have been formally educated in Biomedical Science, Chemistry, Human Physiology / Biochemistry, medicinal Chemistry, Disease States, Muscle mechanics, Core training and Nutrition.  I also hold:  a license as a Texas Registered Pharmacist; PFIT national certification in personal training; Pilates certification; certification in Diabetes Disease State Management and various bodybuilding awards.

I deliberately and with thought, chose tried and true institutions with records of success and longevity.  I am confident that I received top notch education and training from Texas A&M, The University of Houston College of Pharmacy, University of Texas, PFIT Personal Fitness Instructor Training School and Joetta Dickerson the official Pilates instructor of the Houston Rockets Basketball Team.

Twenty-five years of working with real life patients, clients and health and fitness professionals allows me to apply my knowledge.

I spend most of my non-working hours reading reliable abstracts, reports, or the latest research, attending as many seminars and continuing education programs as possible and picking the brains of my colleagues.  I don't rely on Muscle & Fiction magazines for information.  I chose bodybuilding as a hobby because it exemplifies what the human body is capable of through proper nutrition and exercise.  It allows the body to exist in its cleanest form to carry on all of its physiological processes.

Marketing hype is my pet peeve.  There are some products that have merit and some I find valuable enough to use myself.  I have sorted through hundreds of studies-many of them are faulty and coincidentally (Not!) are the ones used by the big corps to dupe you into believing in their magical product.  I will help you separate the hype from the truth so you will only spend hard earned money on what will best benefit you.

A 55 year old man thought he was doing the right thing when he stopped by the health food store and was advised to take several supplements.  If he had known me I could have told him that one of the natural medicines he bought, ginkgo, could reduce the effectiveness of the regular prescription he took to control his seizures.  He had a seizure while swimming and died.  Anything that is pharmacologically active enough to provide some benefit...is active enough to provide some adverse effect.

Before you try to exercise or take things to improve your health...check with someone you can trust.
