    From Fatigued to Fabulous with Adrienne Simmons

    From Fatigued to Fabulous with Adrienne Simmons

    Partying too much?  Feeling sluggish? Wondering if it's just "aging" or if there's more you can do to boost your zest for life? Tune into Adrienne Simmons, creator of "Energy Edge: Unlock Your Energy Potential," who opens the books on her own transformation from exhausted to energized. She'll tell you about her five pillars of vitality and share why your 'why' is the secret sauce to sustained energy.  So, if you're ready to live and love life to the max and not just settle for the minimum, this is one episode you can't afford to miss!
    Adrienne Simmons' Bio:
    I was born with boundless energy, even into my 40's they used to call me the 'energizer bunny'.
    That all changed as I crossed over my 50 year line; my precious energy levels plummeted, I gained about 20 lbs and for the first time in my life, I was diagnosed pre-diabetic.

    I lost my VITALITY
    Why, because I was playing the fool, not paying attention, thinking I was invincible and living the same lifestyle that I'd lived in my 30's & 40's.
    I worked full time, socialized after work, partied into the wee hours of the morning and with that came lots of take out food, alcohol & party drugs.
    As a result, most days my energy levels felt like it hovered around a 3-5/10 as I dragged myself through my work day and into my early evening fatigued, in a fog something akin to being lost in a dark tunnel.
    Scared that if I did not make some drastic lifestyle changes, I would not like what my life looked & felt like in 1-5-10 years. I would not be able to enjoy my life of vitality & longevity (that I've always dreamed of in my second season like my role model, Miss Betty White).
    Starting with a 180 mindset shift, a healthy lifestyle strategy, a few friends who had my back (and held me accountable for cleaning-up my life), over a 9-month period, I cleaned up my life, rebuilt my energy (from a cellular level) and reclaimed my VITALITY.
    With my re-found VITALITY, my precious energy levels climbed back up to 8-9/10 allowing me to enjoy sustainable energy as I POWER through energized from sunrise to sunset (which I continue to enjoy up to today:)
