Book Cover & Preview Text
For many of us, we’ve allowed ourselves to get so far into a condition of poor health that we have come to accept it as the “new normal,” as just a part of growing older. We are resigned to the fact that there’s nothing we can do about it. We feel as though we just have to accept our fate and deal with it. It’s not so bad, anyway, once you get used to it, right? A growing number of people have decided that this is not how their lives are going to turn out. They cannot completely reverse the effects of growing older, but they can mitigate or even eliminate the problems they have developed as a result of a poor diet. They seek for themselves a newer way of living, a newer course of action to divert their lives from one of inevitable deterioration to a life filled with happiness, lightness, and the freedom to continue to enjoy the things they did when they were younger. They are ordinary people like you and me, far removed from celebrities and know-it-all authors of self-help books. They lace up their running shoes one foot at a time, same as you and me, and they go out there every day and try to make a difference in their lives. For their efforts, they have developed a renewed energy and stamina. They find that they don’t get tired so easily. They sleep through the night and awake refreshed. They are able to spend more and better time with their kids and grandkids. Their bodies feel lighter, and simple movements have become easier. Aging, physical decay and death await us all, but these are people who work hard to fend off that eventuality for as long as possible. Each of us gets the exact number of hours in each day, though we all get our own allotment of days that we get to be here. Some people see that as a challenge, an empty bucket to be filled up with as much activity, experiences and people as possible before they reach their ultimate end.

About the Book
Have you ever asked yourself why you can’t seem to be the person you imagine yourself to be? Do you find yourself making the same bad choices repeatedly without knowing why? Are you fed up with having too much weight and not enough energy? Do you think that this is all life has to offer you?
There’s great news! Change is possible, and you are the one who can make it happen. In this book, you will learn the secret of “getting over your self” to get out of your own way and stop being your body’s worst enemy. With just a little effort and a lot of self-love, you can end decades of self-harm and begin a new life of enjoying optimal health.
“Just as a hatchling pecks away at the shell that confines it and prevents it from further growth, so must we destroy and discard the shell that’s kept us inside our old ways of thinking so we can create whole universes of possibility. Getting over your self opens up new pathways for empowerment, ultimately creating a new life that greatly surpasses the predictable.”
About the Author
Jeff Woiton has been around food most of his life, starting in a hospital kitchen at age 16 and, more recently, running an upscale cafe on a downscale Caribbean island. As a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, he’s combining years of experience in culinary arts, restaurant management and helping others in order to create an environment that cares about the client first and foremost. Though most of his career has been in the technology sector, he’s recently made a transition into helping people rather than things.
He firmly believes that food is medicine; more specifically, whole, natural foods are essentially medicine and most else is a slow form of poison. In his practice, he seeks to help people undo years of poor eating habits and adopt a new lifestyle that embraces wellness. Jeff recently brought his own battle with Crohn’s Disease into complete remission and now feels as though he’s in the best health of his life. He’s been where you are, and he can show you how to go beyond what you may have learned or believed, and then helps you create a clearing to step into what you can make possible for your self.
Jeff is a member of the Nutritional Therapy Association, the American Nutrition Association, the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, the Alliance for Natural Health USA, and the Weston A. Price Foundation. He also serves on the board of Washington Action for Safe Water, an anti-fluoridation organization, as their Nutritional Sciences Advisor.
