You must fuel your body with the right nutrients, so it can function at its peak.

You offer i-Lipo treatments at your health and wellness facility. Do the treatments hurt? What are the side effects? Customers do i-Lipo treatments before they workout. A low level laser penetrates the fat cells in whatever area you are targeting. It changes the pH of the cells, so the energy or adenosine triphosphate (ATP) within the fat cells can escape into the lymphatic system. This releases roughly 360 calories of energy into your lymphatic system, which you then burn off in exercise. This merely expedites and targets what your body does naturally when you exercise. The only difference is you are telling your body where you want to take the energy (fat) from. There is no pain, no downtime, and the common side effects are increased energy and appetite suppression.

What are three things someone can start doing to begin their journey to a healthy lifestyle? One, drink water! It is very important to keep your body hydrated.

What is your biggest fear as a young entrepreneur? I would have to say failure. But instead of letting that fear blind me, I use it to fuel my determination to succeed, grow, and gain knowledge and experience through this venture. Failure is a part of life, and I chose job security, not monetary security, when I decided to jump into this.

How important is social media to increasing exposure for your business? We live in an age where technology rules all. You really need three things to start a successful business. First, you need a great website that is interactive, informative, and easy to navigate. Second, Facebook and Twitter accounts allow your clients to generate buzz about your business and build relationships for themselves. Third, you need a blog where clients can go to get quick, useful information that is not easily accessible on the Internet itself.
