Read a free copy this month to find out about David Brown who recently appeared in the 15th season of NBC's Biggest Loser - weighed in at 409 pounds at the outset of the first airing. At 6 feet, Brown hit the Biggest Loser Ranch with a Body Mass Index of 55.5 - dangerously obese. His ongoing battle with weight loss - a battle he's fought for over a decade - shows why shedding pounds doesn't always just come down to eating right and exercising frequently. Sometimes it involves emotional and spiritual healing, as well.
Brown was on several different medications to treat various weight-related problems. The Biggest Loser's dedicated physician, Dr. Robert Huizinga, has more than a passing familiarity with this scenario.
"First, I actually have to put his health situation in terms he will understand and remember - how many years of life he's giving up! Second, I have to give him hope. The medical journal articles on prior seasons of Biggest Loser contestants show that through an exercise-centric, fat-loss approach he can stay off all the medication," reports Huizinga.
Other features on wellbeing besides David Brown's long journey to wellness include, Paige Hathaway showing how to achieve flat abs in the gym with trainers Bailey and Jeremy Minihan of Size & Shape Fitness of OKC, barre3 owner Andrea Mason illustrates how to work fitness in at your desk and Olympic wrestler and boxing champ, Danny Hodge of Perry, OK talks about staying fit for life.
The publisher and founder of Thrive Oklahoma and the OKC Health & Wellness Group, Ltd. is Angela C. Slovak, Ph.D. She is an ambassador and spokesperson for wellness and is available for comments, motivational speaking and corporate training. Contact Dr. Slovak via Facebook (okchealthandwellnessgroup) or call 405.210.8205.
