Hi! I am Penny Steward and I want to personally welcome you to my website where you will discover everything you need to know to take advantage of my speaking, training, consulting and writing skills in the most important area of all of our lives-- Wellness.   My definition of wellness encompasses the daily practices that cause us to maintain physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance. I call it "The FRESH Approach To A Quality Life". FRESH stands for food, rest, exercise, stress-less, and hydration. The information I share is based on scientific research, education, and over 12 years of experience, not industry propaganda or the latest fad. One of my favorite quotes is "The greatest obstacle to optimal health isn't ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge." Unfortunately, many of us are victims of that illusion because we confuse marketing information with fact. Wellness education is powerful. It helps us understand why we must take responsibility for our own health rather than depend on a health care system that focuses on what to do after we are sick. This is my passion in life -- to educate individuals and organizations so they can have more energy, less fat, and no disease so they can feel better, look better, and spend their time and money on living their lives to the fullest rather than on illness. So, come with me to peruse my site and discover how I might help you through live seminars or training, phone consultations, listening to my CD programs, or publishing my column in your newsletter. I hope you find the answers you seek to help you save money and time by living your healthiest life. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Be well. Choose carefully the foods you feed your body, the thoughts you feed constantly through your mind, and the perceptions you ask your spirit to accept as your truth.
