The month is dedicated to GT Newbies and keeping it real with our mythbusters… Myth:  Daily High Intensity workouts will result in a fit and defined body FAST.  Rest days only hold me back. Busted:  Many people will overtrain their bodies for quick and short-lived WEIGHT loss, not fat loss. These people are burning ALL […]

WATCH THIS:  Supersize Me 2004, 104 minutes, PG-13 Directed by & Starring Morgan Spurlock For this edition of ‘Watch This’ I decided to offer my thoughts on a rather unpleasant cinematic spectacle. A 30 day carefully monitored and documented experiment of one man, Morgan Spurlock, eating NOTHING but McDonald’s.  Furthermore – whenever offered to ‘supersize […]

By: Kelly Elmer In 2009 I could not walk up a single flight of stairs without having to pause and catch my breath before continuing.  Over 15 or so years I tried all the diets, some of them several times.  I lost 40 pounds, gained back 60, then after a year or two did it […]

In preparation of writing this article for the “Newbie” edition, I started thinking about where I am at, and realize I’m a little jealous. After years of being a part of Genesis Transformation, lately I have felt myself getting a little complacent. Just rolling along…doing what I do… day in, day out, feeling pretty OK. […]

I take it you are searching for the most reliable method for fat loss?  I was too. I tried it all: pills to speed metabolism, extra hours in the gym, calorie counting, point counting, low-fat, no fat, no carb, no meat, only meat, infomercial gadgets and any NY best seller that promised weight loss.

Let today be the day; a new beginning, a clean slate, a fresh start, a new page.  Call it what you will, but today can be the day you […]

I had the pleasure of taking care of my granddaughter for 3 days while my daughter delivered baby#2.  Within 2 hours, Remy’s nose started running quickly progressing from clear to thick yellow crusty mucus, my husband came home from the office (where he said they were ‘dropping like flies’) running a fever, coughing and general […]

Embarking on this program can be exciting, overwhelming, and scary all at the same time.  Can I do this?  What if I fail?  Does this really work?  Where do I start? These are normal concerns, after all probably every diet out there has previously failed you! Genesis provides a doorway of opportunity for successful transformation.  […]
