“Getting older is mandatory… Deterioration is optional.”
Most of us think of aging as a slow downhill slide. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We now know the illnesses that seem to crop up over time are mostly influenced by our environment and how we live our lives – ‘the cumulative damage of a thousand little insults’ we experience every day. I help people heal the damage and dodge the cuts, so youthfulness and health can be carried throughout life.
Fast With Me!
A Life-Changing Key to Healthy Longevity
“Fasting is a powerful and natural way to help the body recover from the incremental damages inflicted by an unhealthy lifestyle and to rejuvenate its cells and systems.”
Dr. Valter Longo, Director, USC Longevity Institute
When I first learned about fasting, I was hooked.
Yes . . . it meant I had to stop eating – at least for short periods. And while Initially even the intermittent fasting was a challenge, I soon settled into a rhythm and things started to change.
When you stop eating, the body goes into a deep healing mode. Fasting stimulates growth hormone and stem cell production to make repairs at the cellular level. It triggers a process called “autophagy”, the cleaning out of harmful cellular debris. Surprisingly, It gives you more energy and supports the genetic pathways that slow aging and keep you youthful and resilient.
But a key element of a fast is the length of time you sustain it. And for most, going even one or two days with only water can present a challenge. That’s where Dr. Valter Longo and the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet comes in. Through his extensive research as director of the Longevity Institute at USC, Longo has created a 5-Day fasting mimicking diet that anyone can follow.
I fast quaterly and invite you to join me on this healing journey.
Fasting is your gateway to deep healing and rejuvenation. It’s a process that may just change your life…

New life starts here…
At some point in our lives, we start to notice little things starting to change: a new wrinkle, a sag, some aches and pains, forgetting a name, clothing that’s slightly harder to zip… and the thought of aging creeps into our psyche, hitting us like a ton of bricks…
“Am I gonna lose my marbles like my dad and his dad?”
“Will I still be able to do the things I love?”
“Will this pain in my joints ever go away?”
“Why in hell can’t I lose weight?? Am I going to become a big fat blob?”
“Why can’t I shake the fear of being alone?”
“Will I become invisible?”
“Sounds shallow… but how do I stay beautiful?”

“When I think of someone who can instantly change my way of thinking, it is without doubt Elaine. Elaine’s energy and enthusiasm makes it easy to work with her. She has an extensive knowledge of health and wellness and fully understands how important it is to have balance between mental, emotional, and physical components of the body. As a coach she is strong and when you need that push she is right behind you giving you that gentle nudge.”
My cravings have diminished! I love how she would send text messages every now and then with suggestions. It was great motivation and kept me on track. Everything I have learned, I will use for the rest of my life. With Elaine, I feel like we developed an awesome partnership that truly changed my life.
From the moment I met Elaine we just clicked. She has an understanding and compassion for uplifting my spirit. As a coach she was a hand-holding guide who encouraged setting attainable goals. Her technique of life style living has enabled me as not only a client but a friend to achieve and believe in better choices and to reach my goal as a healthy person. I thank her for her friendship and support.
“Elaine has an intense interest in people and a passionate desire to help them make their lives better, more productive and fulfilling. She has that rare ability to just listen without being judgmental or having to assert her own ego. You feel that she values what you say, values who you are, and that it is okay to be who you are. This makes it easy to talk to her; to confide in, to trust, and to ask for advice; all things I have trouble with otherwise. She radiates energy, enthusiasm, and a zest for life that you feel she truly wants to share with you so that you can experience it to.”
“Elaine is dynamic. She is a force and will bring out your best – if you want that. She’ll pace you with humor and skillful thinking. All of her interests bear fruit because she makes a commitment to them. She has pursued mastery in well-being and health: whether exercise, nutrition, food and being beautiful inside and out. She can even help you transform and create an environment that is healthy and chic. You didn’t think that could be done?! Just watch her!”
