Diabetes

This is from Dr. Joseph Pinzone:


“Don’t eat so many sweets, your teeth will rot out of your head!” I remember my mom telling me that growing up, but she never breathed a word about a worse offender: Diabetes.

Diabetes affects 26 million Americans according to the CDC, but worse: 79 million Americans are currently suffering from Pre-diabetes (Metabolic Syndrome).

But there is good news, Pre-Diabetes is reversible. Dr. Joseph Pinzone – an Endocrinologist, the CEO and Medical Director of Amai Clinic, and the Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA – regularly treats pre-diabetic and diabetic patients.

Amai Clinic is particularly apt at reversing diabetes, mainly due to the fact that Dr. Pinzone employs fitness trainers and a Registered Dietician on staff to work with all patients as a supplement to his medicinal interventions.  Doctors nonchalantly “prescribing” diet and exercise is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Obstacle Course Fun!

Obstacle course races are all over the place these days, and they are so much fun! My two older daughters finishing Rugged Maniac at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds July 2017 Races like Tough Mudder (the original), Spartan Race , Rugged Maniac and Warrior Dash are encouraging all sorts of people to get out there and try something new; to challenge themselves! You may not think you are strong enough or brave enough to try an obstacle course race, but you are! I thought the same thing a few years ago, before doing Tough Mudder. I was SCARED!  A personal training client was doing it for the third time, and when she invited me I knew I couldn't turn her down. I'm terrified here, before the race. June, 2015 We formed a team with some other ladies and had a really intense 18 km together in the cold and mud of Whistler. What a day; I 'll never forget it. This is making memories! Now I've done Rugged Maniac twice (LOVE IT!), Spartan once, Battle Frog once...
