Hello, Today I am excited to introduce you Ellen Patrick, of EllenPatrickYoga.com. You are in for a real treat as she shares her passion and knowledge for yoga, mindfulness and living a connected life.
Ellen Patrick, E-RYT 500, Certified Yoga Therapist, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher

A long time ago, before personal computers; when telephones had rotary dials; and you had to get up off your butt to change the few channels on your floor mounted television set, there was a little girl who obsessively watched old Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire movies on that TV set.

Ellen loved to dance, so much so, that as a young woman she pursued a career as a Broadway dancer. Alas, a back injury curtailed that dream. Not to be defeated, she chose a corporate career behind the curtain only to discover she was a round peg trying to fit into a square hole (except for the time she actually got to meet Ginger Rogers!).

And then along came yoga and meditation to save her starving soul! Yoga/meditation gave Ellen permission to continue to express herself through movement and introduced her to the workings of her mind, body and soul. Soon the call of the yoga/meditation teacher beckoned and Ellen embarked on a journey to share this amazing philosophy and science with those who chose to listen.

With a personal yoga/meditation journey that has spanned over 4 decades, Ellen has spent of 20 of those years teaching and inspiring her students. She is among a minority of teachers who have earned advanced certifications in Yoga Therapy and Mindfulness Meditation. She works with adult students of all ages and specializes in areas of injuries, chronic illness, cancer, mental health and addiction. She believes in yoga/meditation as healing modalities and her approach is caring, compassionate and light-hearted.

Currently, Ellen teaches classes, private sessions, corporate settings and mindfulness meditation. If you are looking for someone with experience and expertise, who will empower you to awaken your inner healer and inner guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out and embark on your own journey to more vibrant health and well-being.

Today we are talking about fat burners. NATURES FAT BURNERS - Are you taking fat burners? Do you really know what they are doing to your body?

Most fat burners can increase the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. Cortisol works hard during times of fear or stress. Cortisol has some very cute kick names like “the death hormone” and “THE FAT STORAGE HORMONE.” So cute right?
When your cortisol levels are elevated your body is in stress or "fight & flight mode". It will temporarily shut down bodily systems such as your metabolism and fat burning so it can get escape danger. If you are walking around all day, as most people are in the state of "fight & flight", your digestion is going to be at a stand still.

If you are suffering from anxiety, fat burners can worsen your problem. The side effects include anxiety, insomnia, palpitations, dizziness and vomiting.
Healthier Natural Fat Burners

Here I discuss some easy to implement tips on including natural fat burners into your health and weight loss toolbox. It's time to shift to a more natural approach. Consider switching from chemical laden fat burners and switch over to green juices, or organic green tea instead. Your body will be much happier.

CELERY = an excellent source of antioxidants and beneficial enzymes, in addition to vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin B6.

GRAPEFRUIT = Helps the liver to cleanse unhealthy toxins from the body. Helps to turn up your metabolism. The essential oil in grapefruit helps to support your immune system.

LEMON = A natural detoxifier. Helps to promote hydration, supports weight loss, loaded with vitamin C and more.

KALE = Kale is high in iron, Vitamin K & A, filled with powerful antioxidants, great anti-inflammatory food. Kale is great for cardiovascular support.

It is hard to believe tht this handsome dad of 4 was ever overweight. Sit back and listen to his amazing weight loss story. You are going to learn a lot from this Fit & Fabulous Dad, I know I did.

Just a little over 3 years ago I was in the WORST shape of my life. Not only physically, but also emotionally and mentally. I believe these all go hand in hand.
In 2008 I had ballooned to almost 300 lbs standing at 6' and my body fat percentage was well over 40%. My blood pressure was elevated, I felt tired all the time, if I walked a flight of steps I would lose my breath, my joints were hurting, and I was always getting some type of flu or cold.

One day I had what many would call an epiphany, I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't believe how unhealthy and just plain fat I had allowed myself to get. At that moment I knew I had to do something to change this downward spiral.

As I thought about past attempts to lose weight I realized that the "quick fixes" and fad diets I had tried, although successful short term, were not going to work if I wanted to make LIFE-LONG changes.

That is when I decided to try a different approach and came up with the principles of ONE STEP AT A TIME = SUCCESS!Small, consitent changes allowed me to acheive the body I have today 180 POUNDS with 10% body fat. My drive and passion today is in helping inspire, motivate and teach others how to acheive fitness success too.

ONE STEP AT A TIME!
