A Health Crisis

Life Change Starts Here

As a spiritual leader and biblical teacher with an extensive background in health and fitness, I have a unique perspective on holistic living and complete wellness. I have come to understand that physical wellness and spiritual wellness (wholeness) are inextricably connected. We were designed by God to be whole in every aspect of our lives and when one area is lacking it has a negative impact to all other areas.

As this nation engages one of the deadliest epidemics in history (obesity), I am reminded that obesity is the direct result of a more profound issue. There are an endless amount of statistics that connect obesity to numerous health issues, such as cancer, hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, osteoarthritis, infertility, stroke, coronary heart disease and more. What is lacking is not in the way of scientific research that reveals the negative impact of obesity, but a more concentrated focus on the source or the root issues rather than the symptom.

As deadly as obesity has been proven to be, it is not the origin, but rather, it is the consequence and direct repercussion of a deeper issue. The issue in question is poor nutritional and lifestyle choices. America, as a whole, has drifted further and further away from good sound nutritional diets in lieu of convenience. The fast food movement has created a culture in which the value meal has replaced the wholesome and nutritious meal once was a mainstay in the American home.

One of the reasons that many of the programs aimed at obesity have not proven to be efficacious is because they are heavily centered on the symptom without any emphasis being given to the root. There has to be a concerted effort on behalf of medical professionals, nutritionists, and fitness professionals to educate this nation on the importance of proper nutrition and adequate exercise.

Obesity will continue to increase in its prevalence in America until it is addressed at the source. Although the National Campaign Against Obesity is designed for all, whether Christian believers or not, I am a Christian and therefore I understand the massive spiritual implications involved with this epidemic. So many people have been rendered physically, spiritually, and emotionally dysfunctional by all of the issues associated with obesity. It is the goal here at Master Fitness 21, Stay Fit Fitness & Training, and RWM (Rick Wallace Ministries) to bring lucidity to this nation’s struggle with obesity and numerous other health issues.

Our primary objective is to create a culture that is centered in living a holistic lifestyle; bringing balance, strength and clarity to your life in a manner that will not only allow you to visualize and understand your purpose, but also empower you to fulfill it.

Poor health robs you of your ability to be effective in your designed purpose. It relegates you to a lesser realm of effectiveness and it shortens your lifespan, which also limits your overall impact.

What you eat and how you eat will have a massive impact on your physical well-being. The perpetuation of a sedentary lifestyle will also wreak havoc on your health. We will discuss proper nutrition, organic foods, lifestyle change, natural health remedies and more.

It is important to understand that the battle against obesity and being overweight is not about aesthetics or pulchritude; it is about living a natural and healthy life that will allow you the freedom to be an impacting force to the world around you. It is about increasing the length of your life while increasing the quality of your life.

The debilitating health in this nation can be reversed, but it begins with education and understanding of the root issue. From that point we can actively progress toward making better choices with our eating and implementing a more active lifestyle. It requires that each of us take responsibility for our own actions.

Stewardship over your body is one of the greatest responsibilities that God has entrusted to us because our bodies are the temple of God (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

(Living Change 1 Day at a time)

There are many fad diets and products that promise to give you the perfect body, but they simple feed the cultural lusts for a quick fix and a superficial presentation. A true healthy body is far more than what others may see externally and the focus should never be centered on appearance, which dissipates the true gravity of the importance of our bodies. We should take care of our bodies; not because of the external beauty it presents, but because it is the vessel through which God functions in us to reach a world in need of his saving grace. It is also His place of residence as he indwells us.

I encourage you to become a part of this movement as we begin the process of taking our lives back. You will be exposed to multitudinous resources and concepts that will help you assume the healthy lifestyle you so desperately need. We want to work with you to insure that you have the best opportunity to achieve complete wholeness.

Thank you,
