Body Composition 

Fat to Lean Muscle
The number on the scale is not always the true measurement of your health. Excess fat to lean muscle can greatly increase your risks for high blood pressure, stroke, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and impaired glucose.  I can help you lose fat, maintain muscle mass and improve bone density.  It is never too late to change if you want to improve your health and maintain a high quality life.  It is not how old you are, it is how young you feel, act, and behave.

Here's the Good News

Unhealthy body composition can be stopped or reversed.  since I did not start exercising until I was 59, I am living proof that body composition can be reversed.  A healthy low fat, high fiber, low glycemic diet along with exercise will lead to converting fat into muscle.  Since muscle weight is heavier than fat, you will start seeing your body change before seeing the numbers on the scale drop.  You will look more fit.
