Turbo Metabolism is about lifestyle choices and
lifestyle choices are made at the level of the mind,
the soul and the spirit. Healing must start on a level
that is much higher upstream than the physical level.
Lifestyle choices are all about emotional resilience,
mental well-being, meaningful social connections and
support. One cannot heal the body without first
healing the mind, the soul and the spirit. Behavior

follows cognition. The mind and body are intimately
connected.

In Turbo Metabolism, you say that the typical
American diet might be the modern-day
equivalent of the Trojan Horse. Please explain
what you mean by that.

The standard western diet could have been designed
by a terrorist organization motivated to wipe out
modern civilization. We are being poisoned with an
excess of refined sugar, unhealthy fat, and animal
protein, along with thousands of synthetic chemicals
that are being added to our diet to enhance taste,
texture, or shelf life without any attention to the health effects that this may
have.

Here’s a quote from your book, “When you change your mind-set, you
can develop the motivation and ability to change your destiny.” What
advice would you offer to those who are having a hard time finding
the willpower to start a new habit and/or break an old one.

Everything starts with mindset. We cannot accomplish any change without
having a strong reason to change. That’s the why. I like to meet people
where they are by suggesting they start with small bite-size pieces of change.
Once they start to see some results and how those results can help them get
to their destination (which is their own unique why), the what, where, who,
and when fall into place to align with the why.

You say that Turbo Metabolism is about story, state, and strategy. Tell
us more.

To paraphrase Tony Robbins, story is the internal dialogue/narrative we tell
about our lives. State is about our physical, mental, emotional condition.
