      Introduction

      This book is designed for busy executives who, by the very nature of their profession, work incredibly long hours, remain sedentary for long stints, are under constant stress, and often have to travel for business. If that describes you, then you may have gotten off track in taking care of your most precious natural asset—you!

      One of the natural consequences of working this much—and having too little free time to pursue your own wellness —is that you reach for food that may be convenient, but is not necessarily healthy for you. Most of it is probably filled with sugar, and so sets a pattern in which about every 2 to 4 hours, your blood sugar will drop and your body will signal to you that it needs energy. When this vicious cycle emerges, it is often very difficult to break. Another consequence to this cycle is that you don't have the energy to exercise, so you continue to sit and eat and can't get out of the rut!

      If that describes your life right now, then I can help. This book is designed to assist you in getting out of the ditch and guide you along the first part of your journey back to better health and wellbeing. I have designed a 4-week program called Get-Back-On-Track (GBOT) that will eliminate your sugar cravings and help you to regain your focus and energy, maximize your productivity, remain resilient, and begin exercising.

      My intention in writing this book was based upon my experience at looking how our bodies are made—how our physiology works—and how far away from that we have gotten in our current lifestyles. In my earlier book, Soar to Success—Minus the Stress (ISBN: 978-0-615-23238-6, available on Amazon.com), I described how stress is affecting all of us and even killing a number of us, because we don't understand how our bodies function and how our lives today are way out of sync with how we are made.

      There are certain laws of life—cause and effect—that should not be violated, and there is a price to be paid when we do. It's not our modern world that's the problem; it's the fact that our bodies have functioned in a certain way for thousands of years, and the more our modern behavior is misaligned with that natural functioning, the more problems we end up having.

      When you are young, it's possible to be fit but not necessarily healthy. However, with rare exceptions, when you're over 40, you have to be healthy to be fit. This is a crucial distinction. So, if you focus on getting healthy first, then you can become fit and lose weight much more easily.

      Genetics plays, at most, about 30% in determining
