I’m so excited to introduce you to Your Health is Non-Negotiable Podcast. This is now the Episode # 2  of my brand new series, which I hope to bring to you everyday at 11:00 AM EST live on my Facebook Page.In these motivational moments, it's my goal and my passion to help you make your life and your health nonnegotiable. No matter what is happening in your life, you need to protect yourself. You need to love yourself.In this episode, I would like to talk about Setting Standards that are going to last a lifetime. And it's really important that your standards come from a place of education.It's really the foundation of what the 6 Week Transformation Program is really built upon because so many people, so many of us women have been following fitness plans. Whether it is traditional plans or trendy diets for a certain amount of time. But, we tend to listen to what worked for somebody else. And of course we stay very focused on following the instructions very closely for X amount of weeks. And then, once that challenge or program is over, all of a sudden we stop following the directions of what someone else gave you.And what I love to do in my program is to help you set your own standards that is built on education that focuses heavily on helping you understand:How your body works. How to fuel it.How to move it properly. Then, you can start setting your standards based on something that you believe in. And when you believe it by heart, and when you know it in your mind, you're more likely to follow something based on what's important to you versus what someone is telling you to do. So it's important that you start to create ideas. That's something you know and you believe in.  The best way that I can give you an example of this is: You could have decided that it's a good idea not to Rob a bank. If I told you tomorrow you could go to ABC bank on the corner of the street and if you rub it, you will get $100,000. Although the idea of $100,000 sounds pretty darn awesome, the consequence of robbing that bank is far greater than the money, right? Nobody wants to get caught by the police. Nobody wants to be thrown in jail. And at some point you've said that the consequence of going to jail is far outweighs the wants and needs for that hundred thousand dollars. You can be starving, but you're still not going to go and Rob that bank. You're going to find other ways, right?When it comes to your food and your fitness, I like you to try and make that mindset shift. When you start making decisions based on what are the chemicals or lack thereof that you're going to put into your body, you want to understand what would be the consequences because it far outweighs weight loss.The point is not just that, because weight loss is just a side effect of what we receive in this program. We want to focus on healing the body from the inside.We would like to learn the consequences and understand:How some food damages our body.How it can disrupt our entire endocrine system.How it can really, really play with our mental cognition,How does it affect the overall functions of the body.It's not a situation of saying, “Oh, I'm going to gain 10 pounds now if I eat those Doritos. ”No, it's understanding all of the chemical, dyes, MSG, and what they are doing to my brain and how it affects the functions of my body.Or, all of a sudden the idea of eating Doritos anymore is not an option. It's not a matter of seeing something like I don't want to or I’m not allowed Doritos. And then the first thing I do when I’m off the program is run to the store and buy a bag of Doritos. But at some point, when I  made a conscious decision that I like, and refuses to put that
