“Unfortunately, we are so misguided by the media as to what is considered “healthy” that many people don’t even realize that they are doing more harm to their bodies than good. It is my sincere belief that you can start living a healthier lifestyle today and start feeling better. I was raised on a typical American diet of fast food and junk food.  Not surprisingly, I was constantly sick and on antibiotics as a child and I developed numerous health problems by the time I was in my teens, including psoriasis, high cholesterol, digestive problems and chronic headaches.  In addition to that, I was out of shape and had no idea how to exercise properly.  I knew I had to do something so I studied many aspects of health, fitness and nutrition to learn how to live better, feel better and be more fit. I started Real Health & Fitness to share this knowledge with you and to help you every step of the way towards reaching your health and fitness goals.”
