Taking "In Step With Jonny" To A New Level!

We've got some very exciting news! Just as the world of nutrition has evolved, so has our desire for a fresh, clean and breezy new look for our website and blog.

Ever been to South Beach, Florida? Or to the beautiful islands in the Caribbean? The deep blue water, nearly white sand and tropical feel of these places speaks to me of serenity, beauty and endless possibility. And that's the look we're going for in the new website design. Look for it soon! We hope you like it as much as we do.

And, speaking of new, I've got a new book coming out January 1^st: "The Most Effective Ways to Live Longer" is filled with usable, practical, scientifically supported information on everything you can do to insure you live a long, healthy, productive, joy-filled life.

You'll learn about the four "Horsemen of Aging" (hint: Number one is Inflammation) that are part of every disease of aging, and how to prevent them. And you'll learn about the heart, the brain, the hormone system, the immune system, the muscles and the bones, and the most effective strategies to keep all of them functioning beautifully deep into your ninth decade and beyond.

Finally, I'll share with you the secrets of all the "Blue Zones" on the planet, places where people routinely live to 100- and not in assisted living homes, either! I've put all the conclusions into a simple to follow, "take-home" program called the 7x3 Matrix of Anti-Aging: Practical steps that you can take right now to make sure you live the wonderful, joy-filled, healthy life you're entitled to (and to help you stay out of the medical system!). You can pre-order "The Most Effective Ways to Live Longer" here...

Last, but very far from least...

I know economically, many are struggling as our nation stumbles through difficult times with debates raging on Health Care Reform. What's not being discussed are the pro-active approaches to health- and to staying out of the medical system in the first place-- which has always been the focus of JonnyBowden.com.

It is true in difficult economic times, many people curtail their spending on "non-essentials," which often include the very things that will help keep them healthy (like vitamins and supplements and really good food).

We don't want to see that happen to our readers. In fact, we don't want to see it happen to anyone!

To help you through these times, we'll bring great sales each week on selected items. We don't want you to scrimp on your health - and we'll do our part to make our fine products and supplements in our on-line store within your reach.

Look for announcements of these sales in every single newsletter!

The Diet Boot Camp Challenge ll Winner is...

I'm really thrilled to announce the winner of the Second Diet Boot Camp Challenge for 2009:

The one and only... Jennifer K from Lake Hiawatha, NJ.

I'm so proud of Jennifer because she embodies the spirit of this program in every way:

1. She's participated on every level.
   
2. Her commitment hasn't waived (more on that in a moment).
   
3. She's been a constant source of support and encouragement to her fellow "boot-campers", always there with a kind and motivating word for anyone who asked.
   

Besides losing over 21 pounds Jennifer has made some significant changes in other areas of her life. In her own words:

I have been able to take control of my whole life, starting with nutrition & exercise. I'm dealing with things and doing things that I never would have before. I've proven to myself that I *can* "stay in the game" and overcome barriers. That in itself is indescribable for me.

When I say her commitment hasn't waived, I don't mean she hasn't had challenges. She'll be the first to tell you that she has- many of them! But that's not the point. The point is that she stayed in the game. She didn't let the little "gremlin" voices disempower her. She "thanked them for sharing" and then went about her business- the business being pushing herself into areas that might have been uncomfortable but that have the potential for producing extraordinary results.

So thank you, Jennifer. For believing in yourself, for sticking with it, and for being a great example of the power of commitment.

If you're ready to "take control of your life" like Jennifer did then get your hands on Diet Boot Camp »

Diet Boot Camp Challenge I Winner

It's time to announce the winner of the first ever Diet Boot Camp Challenge, and the winner is...

Pamela S.!

Pamela has been consistent about posting, has supported her fellow Diet Boot Campers and inspired others, and she herself has had admirable results. Here's what she wrote after week eight:

"I lost 8 pounds, four inches off my waist from 39 to 35 and my hips are now 43". I feel like I'm 20 years old. I have so much energy and joy. I've found exercise that makes me happy and hope to keep moving on to the life of my dreams."

Well, it doesn't get much better than that!

My greatest hope for the Diet Boot Camp Challenge was that it would bring people together. True, the main reason most people got involved was to lose weight, but many- like Pamela- have written that they've learned lessons and found inspiration that goes well beyond anything that can be measured on the scale.

Take Christopher Loch, who wrote "Now I know I just need to make smaller goals that are more attainable and as I reach them, reset the bar a little higher".

He also wrote: "My Word can be Law in the Universe (just like God's). This kind of integrity goes above and beyond the weight loss applications and extends into all other areas of my life."

Congratulations to Pamela as well as to Christopher, and to every single one of you who participated and were up to the challenge of examining old (and disempowering) beliefs about food, weight and life.

You are all winners in my book... but Pamela wins all of this:

Last call for the 2009 "Dr. Jonny Weight Loss Coach Certification" course

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I'm very proud to announce that the Weight Loss Coach Certification Course is finally ready and will begin this month!

Coach Training Alliance, one of the finest and most reputable schools for life coaches, (and one of the few to hold the prestigious accreditation of the International Coach Federation) is now offering my new course in Weight Loss Coaching.

• The course takes place over ten weeks
  
• It's done by teleseminar
  
• It's a small-group format with plenty of interaction, practice sessions and time for questions and discussion
  
• We'll focus on the skills needed to help clients reach their weight loss goals and- equally important- attain optimal health, energy and overall well-being in the process.
  
• Those enrolled in the course will become licensed to implement my trademarked Diet Boot Camp program with individual clients and in groups

The course will be filled with nutrition and myth-busting information, and practical tips for effecting change and dealing with problems and pitfalls in the weight loss journey.

The International Federation of Coaching defines coaching this way

Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

Right now, we're limiting the course to those who have some coaching experience, but will consider personal trainers, nutritionists and others in the helping professions.

Each course is limited to only 14 participants.

The start date is Wednesday, September 9 and there is still room for a few motivated folks! We'd love to have you!

If you're interested, you can read (and hear) more about the course here.
