​ THE THIRD STEPDream Reality: Part ThreeIn part one, we introduced the importance of setting clear goals—your “Haves”—and then complimented our Haves with the second component, who you need to Be to achieve your Haves. The next step is to connect your Be (your identity) to your Have (your results) with what you need to Do (your actions). The example we came up with for the Me strand:
The example we came up with for the Them strand:
Remember, we have dedicated one quarter of this year to each of the four strands of life. We are to dedicate one-quarter of the year to concentrating on one strand because science tells us we are more likely to find success that way. Now, let’s look at what you must Do to make your Dream a Reality for the Me Strand. DOIt's time to build a bridge between our example, Be and Have "Be" I am a Mesomorph, and your "Have," who weighs 135 pounds. THE HOPE BRIDGEI call the bridge that connects your Have with your Be The HOPE Bridge. The components of The HOPE Bridge are:
THE FOUNDATIONThe Foundation of The HOPE Bridge is REAL GOD-MADE FOOD. If you want to switch from your current to a healthier menu, the first step is to eat food as our grandparents ate. Food that wasn't adulterated with homemade chemicals. What that means is to avoid processed foods. Processed foods have been altered from their natural state in some way, generally by adding artificial flavors, preservatives, and other additives. They also contain refined grains, added sugar, excess sodium, synthetic additives, and other ingredients that can diminish their nutritional quality. Real God-made Food contains one or very few ingredients, which are usually things you recognize (e.g., “beef,” “broccoli,” etc.). Processed Human-made Food: Usually has a long ingredient list, including added sugars, flavor enhancers, colorings, and chemical preservatives. Real God-made Food has natural fibers intact that keep you satisfied for longer. Processed Human-made Food removes most of the fiber. Authentic God-made Foods are centered around whole, nutrient-dense foods linked with reduced risks of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Processed Human Food contributes to weight gain, inflammatory responses, and other health issues. Stay tuned for Dream Reality: Part Four, where we will build The vehicle you will drive from your Be to your Have. “If someone came to me and asked what the best menu to eat is to increase their health and life span, my answer would be simple: EAT REAL GOD-MADE FOOD. Attaining health is that easy. Look at all of the modern diseases. Nearly all came about with the invention of Ultra-processed foods.” ​ BE COACHED FOR FREE!I only accept new clients through referrals from current and past clients, and my roster is nearly always full.

I have practiced hormone and weight optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 10 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated several medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. We discovered that as a woman enters menopause, her hormones become disrupted, causing many women to gain weight rapidly, and no matter what they do, not be able to lose it. If that has happened to you, text me at 209-345-9799. I have found that those who text me are serious about creating the body they desire. Once I receive your text, I will find a convenient time for you to speak with me. During our conversation, I will customize a gourmet weight loss menu for you, and tweak it until it works. Our menus have no caloric restrictions or frequency of meals. There is no charge! 👍 Doc
