WELLNESS CONNECTIONProject Transformation Winner: Kasi BeutelJune 28, 2010 - 3:00PM Kasi Beutel, one of our Project Transformation winners from Newbury Park, California, is similar in many ways to a comic book superhero. By day she is a soccer mom, taking care of her three young children. By night, she guards the community in the role of police officer with the city of Santa Barbara. Kasi joined the police force in 2006 after graduating from the Police Academy. Due to the demanding training she received at the Academy, she was in the best shape of her life upon commencement. Unfortunately, her health and level of fitness has since declined - a considerable danger in her particular line of work. While working the overnight shift to protect the community from intoxicated drivers, she routinely chases, physically apprehends and arrests suspects. In addition to these “routine” duties, Kasi never knows what unexpected risks or actions a suspect may take on any given night. Anticipating the known and unknown elements of her job requires a high level of physical fitness to perform at optimum levels. Kasi entered Project Transformation at California Health & Longevity Institute to get back on track to being healthy and fit enough to protect herself in her occupation. She is well on her way to accomplishing this through rigorous personal training sessions focused on strength and endurance and informational nutrition consultations to learn how to eat right, particularly on the overnight shift. During her health strategies sessions, she learns how to manage stress and how to balance work with her family life. When she completes her transformation program in October, Kasi is aiming to be in the best shape of her life for a second time, ensuring that she comes home safely to her children after every single shift.

Recently, however, she has been working her way back towards the person she wants to be on the inside, but needs to learn the necessary skills from the experts at California Health & Longevity Institute to transform herself on the outside. With a family history of obesity, heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes, Christy is also very motivated to change directions in her life to avoid these negative health consequences. She now feels that she is finally in the correct place and mindset to make positive changes in her life. At the Institute, Christy has been participating in a custom-designed transformation program that includes hypnotherapy and energy healing sessions with Barbara Savin, the Institute’s Clinical Hypnotherapist and Energy Healing Specialist. These treatments have enabled her to embark on her external transformation journey. Together with education in nutrition, fitness and life balance, she hopes to improve her well-being before, she says, “it’s too late.” Rated by 0 people:

Project Transformation Winner: Dave FuglebergJune 10, 2010 - 8:00AM Project Transformation winner Dave Fugleberg is an aerospace and mechanical engineer from Westlake Village, California. Dave grew up in the Panama Canal Zone and was very active as a child, participating in many outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and racing canoes. He attended college at the United States Merchant Marine Academy, where he achieved his pinnacle of fitness by participating in crew for a short period of time during his freshman year and the rugby team throughout his junior and senior years. Upon graduation, he took a job refueling nuclear reactors all over the U.S. and Europe, a position that also required a high level of fitness. However, as Dave grew older and gained more experience, he was promoted into sedentary, office-based occupations. The combination of the those jobs and an increasingly inactive lifestyle took a toll on him, leaving Dave with excess weight and a desire to change his daily routines in order to return to his previous health, all of which led to his entry in Project Transformation. Upon beginning the program, Dave’s goals are to lose weight, exercise regularly and become more active to regain the mobility and energy levels that he once had. As a current MBA student at Pepperdine University, he also needs the strength and energy to balance his rigorous academic studies with his career. He is currently working with the experts at California Health & Longevity Institute to reach his peak, both personally and professionally. Rated by 0 people:
