Fitness, Nutrition, and Environmental Consulting for Optimal Health “I had been wanting to get more exercise, not only for physical fitness but improved mental health as well. Problem is, I have a busy schedule and I don’t like running and I’m not a member of a gym. What was so helpful about Eddie’s consulting is that he didn’t set up an “exercise regimen” for me that put pressure on my schedule. He showed me how to integrate exercise into my life and make it seem easy by doing things that are good for me and that I truly don’t mind doing – such as walking briskly home from work rather than riding the bus. I’m impressed how intuitive he was about what would really work for me, and I soon started seeing results, especially with regard to decreased stress in my life. His advice seems simple, but it’s deceptively so and gets right to point. One session with him, for ${XX}, has done me more good than hundreds of dollars in gym fees or “personal training.” Highly recommended. – M.K., Society Hill, Philadelphia.” Consulting (individuals and groups) in: Nutrition
