A 55-year old Fortune 100 executive contacted me after his doctor said his lifestyle was killing him: he was overweight, smoking two packs a day, hypertensive, and had high cholesterol. We evaluated his negative lifestyle choices and integrated progressively challenging lifestyle changes (baby steps). Using diet, mindfulness based stress reduction, visualization, and exercises he enjoyed, he lost sixty pounds, stopped smoking, normalized his cholesterol and blood pressure, and is now living a happier, healthier and less-stressful life.
