"Catherine and James' Total Fitness radio show has been a wonderful addition to our format and has contributed to the network in the most positive way.

It is a pleasure to work with such professionals who pay very close attention to quality content and enjoy what they do. With its continued success, Total Fitness is a show that the listeners enjoy. Even the professional world of fitness is paying attention to what Catherine and James have to say."

James and I want to thank all our great guests, who come from the world's greatest experts in fitness, nutrition and natural healing.

A new client who came to me recently put it really well. She said, "I told my neighbor to go home to his computer and listen - I told him Catherine and James explain things really simply, in a very well-organized way so that everybody can understand."

Healthy Bedtime Snack
By Nina Lynn

Many clients ask us what they can eat before they go to sleep that will empower them to rest more deeply, and satisfy their cravings for something emotionally rewarding in the evening. This recipe definitely fits the bill.

Frozen Bananas with Yogurt and Sunflower Seeds Ingredients:

  • 2-3 frozen really ripe organic bananas
  • 1 quart organic plain goat milk yogurt
  • 1/2 cup organic non salted sunflower seeds
  • ground ginger and cinnamon to taste

serves 4.

Directions: Freeze bananas overnight. Thaw slightly and mash. Serve over plain goat yogurt and sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Add ginger and cinnamon to taste.

If you are sensitive to cow's milk, goat yogurt is a great discovery. In addition to healthy bacteria that build up your immune system, the yogurt contains tryptophan, the precursor to serotonin and melatonin - the hormone that enables you to sleep most deeply. The calcium in the yogurt helps with the conversion to serotonin and finally melatonin production, and the cinnamon helps the body regulate blood sugar. The sunflower seeds are full of Vitamin E as well as moderate levels of tryptophan. Finally, the ginger aids the body in digesting this delicious bedtime snack.

 

Client Success: Gale Shafer: A Convert To Weight Training
By Catherine Carrigan

It was Gale Shafer's neurologist who initially made the recommendation - her health would dramatically improve, he told her, if she started a program of regular walking, weight training and yoga.

At age 62, Gale is the coordinator of admissions for Atlanta's prestigious Wardlaw School, which assists children with learning disabilities. Although she loves her job, she had been plagued for years by bouts of vertigo and episodic migraines. "I would get dizzy just walking down the halls," Gale recalls.

About a year and a half ago, Gale took up part of her doctor's recommendations - she stepped into our yoga class at Holy Spirit Catholic Church and quickly became an avid fan of the peaceful practice and our loving, supportive atmosphere. Frequently, she would show up at class wearing a T-shirt that read, "Addicted to Yoga."

Although her dizziness diminished with yoga, it did not go away. I encouraged her to come and see me for private healing work, but she didn't take up my offer until an accident forced her to reconsider.

No-one knows how Gale broke her left foot, but shortly before spring break this year, she took herself to the doctor to figure out why it was hurting. The doctor told her she had fractured it and informed her she had osteoporosis. Upset that she couldn't come to yoga class, Gale reluctantly came to me to learn how to lift weights. She never thought she would actually like it - what happened surprised her.

"It was much easier than I thought. I feel like it's a piece that I needed. I never thought I could have a strong upper body," she said, showing off well-toned biceps for a woman of any age. "I think it's really important to have a sense of your body. So many things happen when you get older that you have no control over. But this is something you can do that makes such a difference."

In our one-on-one work, we began with a re-evaluation of her nutrition. Although she had always been slim and didn't need to lose weight, identifying Gale's food sensitivities allowed her to free herself completely from dizziness and migraines. She has only had three headaches since we first began - all after eating foods we had identified as problematic for her body. We also used kinesiology and healing work to improve her vestibular system and balance, and after her cast came off, James Williams did a thorough postural assessment and wrote a therapeutic exercise program to help her stand strongly and squarely on both feet.

Since then, Gales' workouts have begun to inspire others. Her husband, David, took up weight lifting after she brought her exercise ball home to practice and a neighbor joined our yoga class after noticing that Gale's breathing had improved.

Now that she has all three aspects of her fitness program working - walking, weight training and yoga, her doctor advised her, "Now you have to do it until you die." But there's no complaint from Gale. "The more muscles you get, the easier it gets," she says.
