Kartchner Optimal Health

Being a music composer/producer, means being on my feet, a lot. In December 2008, I was 50 lbs overweight with plantar fasciitis in my right heal. Walking had become difficult, and standing while conducting in a recording studio session was painful. Then some friends told me about a physician-led lifestyle program that had helped them which included weight management. I decided to try it, and not only did I reach my weightloss goal, I also learned new healthy habits to incorporate into my life that have enabled me to gain more energy and stay at my healthy BMI, which reduces the risk of diabetes and other chronic health conditions. This ignited a new passion, a new purpose, and now I love helping others do the same.
