    About this ebook

    My Story: I was born on Dec. 26 1959 in Washington DC. Now I don't tell everyone my birthday, however because you have decided to read this, I thought it best that you get to know how I became a doctor.

    The decision to become a doctor was planted in my mind when I was 5 years old. My uncle, who was an anaesthesiologist, Dr. Julio Perez, has this amazing way about him. When he would walk into the room his smile, his positive attitude, would light up the room. He would just make you feel happy, and you would start smiling. It was at 5 years of age that I decided, and said to my mom, "I want to be a doctor like Tio Julito (uncle Julio in spanish)"

    After 22 years of being a doctor now I have seen my patients become more unwell and more overweight. They just aren't getting any better. So over the last 10 years I have been studying Functional Medicine, which focuses on the root cause of disease and its treatments. One passion of mine is weight loss because I know how distressful even an extra 5 pounds ( 2.2 kg) can be, let alone 100 pounds (45 kgs).

    Let me give you and overview of my previous health. During my medical training a typical breakfast was a packet of skittles and coffee. Then throughout the day just to stay awake I would have at least 6 cups of coffee . When there was time I would eat a meal. Then when work was done and I didn't have to sleep in the hospital, I would go home. To me 5 o'clock meant wine o'clock, and I would have a glass or two to wind down from all the caffeine.

    Not only was I hooked on caffeine and sugar, but also a nighttime wine to wind down. I also parttook in cigarette smoking. Yes, I was a model child for health. It took me 41 times to quit smoking but I finally did it. From that comes my motto to my patients " Never,ever,ever give up, Giving up!"

    With my second child, I went into the hospital weighing in at 198 pounds ( 90 kg) and came out at 189 pounds. I am only 5 feet 6 inches (166cm) ! It took me 16 years to get down to 160 pounds (73 Kg) and I did every diet possible except take diet pills. I was deeeeeesperate. Now over the last 2 years, from all my studying, I am 61 kg (135 lbs) at 53 years young and I am so excited to share with you how to get rid of excess weight safely and keep it off.

    My conversion to the other side of the medical spectrum happened gradually, and hit it's stride when I had my 50th birthday. I just realized that I really wanted to be healthy and walk my talk. And so here we are together. Let's start walking together, and I'll share with you what worked for me and can also work for you. I want to give you hope.

    "Hope is not pretending that problems don't exist. It is the hope that they don't last forever. That hurts will heal and difficulties overcome. That we will be led out of the darkness and into the light".

      Introduction:  <><><><>

      If you don't like it, change it.

      -Unknown

         I have been a doctor since 1991, and the only reason I went into the medical field is because I wanted to help people. Looking at what is going on in medicine today, I have come to the realization that, we do not have a Healthcare System, we have Disease Management. Not only did I become disillusioned and burnt out, I just got frustrated treating conditions, not the cause of the problem. My goal is to see people healed.

         I wanted to get to the root of the dis-ease.  Not just throw a band-aid on it. My patients weren't getting any better, they were just existing.

         Hence the reason for the above quotation ...If you don't like it, change it. I had to change the way I was doing medicine, and let me say it is not easy. But I knew I had to do it for the people I care for, and my sanity.

         Over the last decade I began to learn about nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices to help you live a more healthy life. Yes, I want to help make a positive change in your life. My goal is to add value to your life, by depositing simple back pocket principles that you can use everyday.

      If you want to lose weight permanently, have more energy and infect the lives of your family and friends with health, then I welcome you to Your PureLifestyle Way.

      Dedication:  <><><><>

      I want to dedicate this book to two very special people in my life. 

      To Mima (aka Mom, Silvia): Your beautiful love and faith in me I will never, ever forget.

      To my husband, Michael: Your devoted, love, patience, and maximizing friendship steered me while I said, Let's go this way.

      Opening Quote:  <><><><>

      Within every patient, there resides a doctor, and we as physicians are at our best when we put our patients in touch with the doctor inside themselves.

      Success Stories:  <><><><>

      #1.  Attending Your PureLifestyle Plan gave Murray and I the impetus to make several big but necessary changes to our lifestyle.  The course was presented in a fun interactive way and gave us the motivation to make some healthy changes.  Before attending the course we had often talked about making some changes but had never got around to it or even where to start.  Since doing the course we have built regular exercise routine and big changes in our eating habits.  Thanks Mike and Izzy!  We would definately recommend this course to anyone who is thinking they could do with a healthier lifestyle.  The benefits are well worth it.

      Murray and Vicki Crozier.

      #2.    I chose to take part in Your PureLifestyle Plan for a number of reasons, but most of all because I knew the way I was living, eating and thinking was not going to see me through life in good health, after all take-aways and rubbish food are so convenient not to mention life is so busy that we all forget that we still need to find a balance.

      Throughout the course I was blessed to be given the tools that would ensure to see me through life not only as a healthy individual but also to be able to hand down those tools to family, friends and the wider community. These tools include healthy cooking and eating, which foods are going to cause illness and damage to
