Having taken control of my own wellbeing, I knew I wanted to assist others after that visit.  I remember thinking, “I can watch my mother and others her age continue to let their health decline, or I can do something to help.”

So at age 57, I decided to invest in myself by pursuing a new career, combining my knowledge as a nutritionist with that of a fitness professional. This is how “Enduring Fitness 4 U” came to be.  I realized that my skills and experience gave me the tools to help others who wanted to stay strong, active, and independent as they age.

My journey to a plant-based lifestyle started a couple years later when I was researching my first book, Building Your Enduring Fitness.  This diet plan–rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds–supports a plethora of health benefits, all backed by science. And so now I do my best to help others incorporate aspects of a plant-focused, whole-food diet into their eating habits.

With my business, I’ve been able to transform the lives of my clients. They see improvements in their own strength and confidence, and can make more nutritious food choices. Through an enduring fitness program, customized for my clients, I can help them become more self-sufficient to maintain their quality of life.
