He is joined by fellow Marine, Rich Dreyling to talk all things veteran.     Transitions from War Sponsors:   Leanness Lifestyle University Leanness Lifestyle University was founded in 1999 by David Greenwalt. As an early adopter of the Internet, David saw the potential of two-way real-time communication unique to this form of media. Leanness Lifestyle was launched from inception with a science-based educational framework. Having worked directly with clients since 1986, David had already realized that “calories in calories out” messaging didn’t work. Telling people their weight was all their fault and all they needed to do was “eat less and exercise more” was, and is, the standard, and a grossly ineffective approach. David knew the only real way to help people lose fat, keep muscle, and then keep the fat off permanently was to educate and provide a truly personal touch. Leanness Lifestyle was the first online program to couple nutrition, exercise and emotional-fitness education with accountability, motivation, and personal support. Many evolutions and advancements have occurred since 1999 and continue today. David is a Certified Wellness Coach earning his certification from the leading authority of wellness training—WellCoach™. Today, now more befitting of the original and continued education mindset, the website is called Leanness Lifestyle University (LLU).
