Happy and "Soon2bhealthy" New Year!

The year is starting off great so far.  Tammy and I were both surprised and honored to have our new "Soon2bhealthy" venture featured in the Turlock Journal yesterday, and today we finally hit the "publish" button on our new website.  It has been both a labor of love and a thorn in my side because I am "technology challenged".  We need to thank 3 special people who helped make this a reality.  First, Amy (aka Mrsplantintexas), who a year ago spent time tutoring me on the basics.  Next, a new friend, Vicki Law, heard about what we were doing and offered up numerous hours of her time to help design our site because she believes in what we are doing.  Last but not least, my awesome son-in-law Eric has helped me get organized and put needed finishing touches so we could get the site launched.  It is still a work in progress, but now it is manageable.

In the last 24 hours we have received dozens of calls from people eager to make optimal health and weight their priority in 2017.  The recurring message we got from callers was that of gratitude and excitement for a local support system that would give them the boost they need to achieve their goals of restored health and vitality.  And possibly reduce their reliance on dangerous and often ineffective medications.  They also voiced concerns for the future health of their children and grandchildren if they continued consuming the SAD (standard American diet).

We are eager to share with you what has worked for us and thousands of others we have met over the past 6 years.  When you reduce the consumption of toxic, processed foods and replace those with nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and legumes, the body has the ability to heal it itself.  As I studied the research and witnessed the results others were achieving strictly by changing what they ate, I decided it was a small price to pay for the potential of healing my body and failing mind, getting off medications and regaining my quality of life.  Both Tammy and I are delighted with the results we have achieved since committing to this lifestyle (you can read my full story under the "about us" tab on the website, and Tammy's under the "Inspiration" tab). The best part is (after a short adjustment period) your body soon craves the healthy food--and the recipes are delicious!

"Soon2bhealthy" was created as a means of sharing the tools and resources with others (like us) who were seeking to improve their health and quality of life--without them having to spend the hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars that we did to get there.  It is a labor of love several years in the making that we worked on  between the joys of helping our children and grandchildren, and the heartache of caring for critically ill family members.

 We realize this dietary lifestyle will not appeal to everyone; some may find it easier to continue taking medication rather than put forth the effort to change their eating habits.  And that is their right--but everyone deserves to know their options, so they can make informed choices.

Our passion is to bring awareness and renewed hope to family and friends dissatisfied with their health, and disillusioned with their current options.  Our mission is to live life vibrantly and help others do the same--never again helplessly watching a loved one suffer or die prematurely from a preventable illness or disease.

Now is the time for change-
"For the Health of It!"
