Description
If you want to live a long healthy life, you need to take care of yourself. This includes three main categories: Healthy eating, physical activity and sleeping well. If you are missing any one of them, you will be out of balance.
Healthy is not just the absence of disease, rather it's your ability to repair and regenerate your body. How long does it take your heart rate to come down after running? How long does it take a wound to heal? How long does it take you to get over the seasonal flu? All of these questions are similar to asking, how healthy are you?
The food that you put in your mouth serves as the building blocks for your body's regeneration process. You need to make sure you are giving your body the best quality and proper food in order to allow yourself to be built properly. How do you know what the right food is? With so much information floating around the internet it's easy to get lost and forget the bottom line.
Another major challenge is that you are fighting AGAINST multibillion dollar companies who want you to be addicted to food, and unfortunately the food that they have to offer isn't the best for you. You need to take your body and health into your own hands, and make informed decisions that are right for you.
Knowledge is the first step to this process. In this course you will learn:
Basic science of food
The basics of metabolism
The health benefits/defecits of each food group
The truth about different celebrity endorsed diets
So much more!
Come with me on this journey so that you can understand the proper way to take care of yourself, the foods that are best for you, and how to eat differently when you have different goals like weight loss, muscle building, etc.

Hi, my name is Dr. Jeff Petroff. I'm a doctor, former Lieutenant in the army, a health coach, an advocate of preventative medicine by means of healthy lifestyle. When I went through my studies in medicine school I was appalled at how the entire focus was on curing disease, and nothing about preventing them. We speak about managing disease, which is like trying to put out fires. But we can manage these fires much better if we prevent them ahead of time.
The three pillars of health that I teach and preach are physical activity, healthy eating, and sleeping well. Through these three things we can seriously increase how we enjoy life. The ability to wake up in the morning, take a deep breath of clean fresh air, and walk around as we please is not to be taken for granted. These are gifts that we have been given, and we should take care of ourselves to keep this ability to enjoy life to the fullest.
Come along with my on the journey to find different techniques and methods of maintaining a healthy lifestyle so that you too can enjoy life to the fullest.
