Taking Health and Wellness Head-on with USANA

If you've followed my Twitter stream lately, you probably are aware that I have been hinting about my health concerns. For now, my only issue is cholesterol; however, if left unchecked, this can lead to other problems downstream, like heart disease. This has made me reconsider and take steps to change my lifestyle. I love technology and the Internet; but the truth is, doing this stuff all day is not healthy. Unchecked geeking has a detrimental effect on the body because of its sedentary nature, not to mention the skinny arms and legs from lack of muscles.

If you need an expert, find out who the experts are. Look at their work. Are they doing for themselves what they claim they can do for you? Are you, as a client, getting a one-size-fits-all solution? Are you being sold a product rather than a tailored solution? Are you paying for expertise or outsourcing? A big clue is, are they showing you how to fish, or giving you the fish? Do they help you understand what you're getting into? There's always "more to it than that". Do they make any attempt to dissuade you? You might be expecting something that can't be delivered by what they offer. Most importantly, if...
