Thanks for visiting!

We are beginning to hear just about everywhere that there is a growing epidemic among our children and that is the very important subject of childhood obesity. We welcome local pediatrician Dr. Lisa Ramey whose practice, Integrative Pediatrics is located in Oveido, Florida. She and I have a very candid discussion regarding the sad fact that this generation of children will be the first generation ever to not live as long as the previous generation. I was shocked!!!! Dr. Ramey continues to tell us even more shocking statistics that will be a reality check for everyone who listens. We talk about the problem and also about some very easy and practical ways to help our children avoid being a part of the statistics. Did you know that our children are now beginning to suffer from once adult only related diseases such as hypertension and cardiac disease?!? Listen to find out how you can save your children.

We also introduce you to a local mom Erin Vertolli from One Lucky Baby, a fabulous online resource for handmade baby and toddler items! Michelle and I met her at a Baby Loves Disco event and we were totally impressed at her special handmade items. I immediately saw so many things that I loved and saw gifts for all those special children in my life! I also found out after our interview that Erin and I have something really cool in common. She used to also work at the University of Central Florida and we had a fantastic post-interview discussion about wellness and female related issues with our young women of today! She has health education as another of her passions as well. So, listen and log onto her site. Get that special little one something unique and cool.
