CORE VALUES
I remember when I first noticed my belly fat at age 9.
I was pudgy compared to the other young athletes at camp,
And when we went to shirts and skins I went into my early vacuum practice–
Sucking in my gut as often and as consciously as I could.
For the next couple years I hid in baggy shirts and then finally I was fortunate enough to have a soccer coach show me how to properly do bicycle crunches. He happened to be a goalkeeper coach and I wanted to be the best keeper. He told me the best goalkeepers have amazingly strong abs and he advised me to do 100 bicycle crunches per day and that in 6 months I’d have a 6 pack.
The burn was insane. It felt like I was being stabbed and like acid was pouring on my abdominal walls. I fell in love with the burn. I figured, why just 100? Why not 200 per day? So I did that and in 3-4 months I had a six-ish pack. At age 12 I had a six pack, and I haven’t let that change since. I took what I learned from my abs training and attempted it with other muscle groups and found very little success with high rep, daily training.
This was when I began my in depth study into bodybuilding and strength training–at age 12 I bought Arnold’s Encyclopedia of fitness and read it from cover to cover. Then I thumbed through every Flex, Muscle and Fitness, and whatever other muscle mags I came across. When they were too good to put down, I’d buy them. After a little while I had quite the collection of literature and I had friend’s that were doing the same thing so we shared our muscle magazine knowledge.
This was a trial by error, bro-science study bodybuilding program. Yes I stumbled across lots of great training info and tips, but mostly I developed many bad training habits, ignored nutrition to a large degree, and overlooked important principles that would have really set me up better for the future. Assuredly so though, I fell in love with resistance training at an early age.
Since the age of 12, I have learned a few things. There are many things I wished I had known about and done sooner. More so, there is always more to learn and room to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Teaching and coaching others through the fitness path as I continue to develop, is very important to me and an integral part of my growth process.
Since abs were my first muscle group to properly feel, “Working,” abdominal training is one of my favorite things to teach and share. If you are curious about learning the breathing, bracing, and contraction techniques for abdominal/core training, check out the BEEfit Saturday Core Camp @9am! Sign up via email ryanbeefit@gmail.com I am ABSolutely confident that I know what I am talking about!
Having a well developed core has done more than just provide aesthetics. Having a strong core has undoubtedly had a positive impact on my sport’s performance, injury recovery, posture, overall health, and I would definitely include my ability to adapt into bodybuilding in my late 30s to having a well developed midsection before ever seriously and strategically lifting weights to achieve optimum aesthetics.
Having good abs led to me getting a job as an underwear model. Getting that job made me take my health and physique more seriously–standing around in your underwear can make you self conscious after all. This experience occurred just before turning 30 and I had spent the latter part of my 20s in the bottom of a bottle, glass, cup, boot–you serve alcohol in it and name it I’d drink it I didn’t give an F–yeah, well this underwear modeling thing had me looking at and thinking more than twice about my belly–which was more in the 4 pack range, but could be flexed into a good 6 easily. Well I wrote an article on that whole experience titled, A Brief Minority Report, it should be posted on the ryanbeefit.com website.
The brief foray into getting more trim and looking great near naked got me back into fitness. I was running, lifting, skipping rope, playing soccer, drinking, but being very active. I got into taking a post workout protein shake, a daily multivitamin, eating protein centric and pretty wisely so pretty much only protein since I was drinking plenty of carbs.
Fast forward a few years and I have been lifting weight 4-5 days a week for a few years, skipping a lot of rope, and doing my abs training everyday to avoid the dreaded beer belly. This was going okay. I wasn’t really progressing, I wasn’t really regressing. I was treading physical matter. I liken it to a child collecting Easter eggs without a basket. They can only carry so many before they drop 1-2 for every 1-2 they grab–it’s a net loss. Classic basket case.
Well it turns out that if you train 3 x a day you can be a rather in shape basket case. That was my case. See the Rainierman daze/days…this is when I was working as a PE teacher for a preschool and as coach/trainer at a local MMA gym. I had gotten the trainer job there as my first gig training after they had seen me skipping rope and then my abs after I changed out of my sopping in sweat wet shirt. So my obsessive abs training, coupled with jump rope, got me my first training job.
Well it turns out that if you train 3 x a day and your meal plan consists of 60 plus alcoholic drinks per week, the wheels eventually fall off and important screws come loose at various points.
It also turns out that the best thing that can happen to you is to STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL. Oh I know it is sooo GOOOOD, and does so MUCH good for you I am sure. Habits are our doing and undoing. What’s your habit doing for you? I am certainly sure that after two alcoholic beverages your body prioritizes the expulsion of the chemical poison from your body, putting the processing of nutrients second to the detox.
After one month of not drinking, I put on at least 10 pounds of lean muscle. It was probably more. I wasn’t measuring it at the time and this was just the beginning. I was ready to pour myself fully into the training job, but they laid me off before I could do that. So I was on the move, again.
Just over a year later, I was back into personal training again. This time I got exposed to a better understanding of nutrition and I was introduced to the world of bodybuilding. This was also where I was introduced to my one and only supplement brand, dotFIT.
It wasn’t long until I got assigned to teach an abs class at the globo gym I was working at. I did well enough with that class that I was tasked with running a larger division of the training program. From there I went on to become a fitness director at another globo gym. You can see how I can ABsolutely say that having great abs and a strong core has been integral to my fitness journey.

Consistency and Quality
Don’t stress over being “Great.”
Get good at consistency and focus on quality.
That’s what I look for in things I bring into my life.
Consistency and quality.
As a Gym owner, “Fitness” guru of sorts and All Natural bodybuilder, I definitely search for this in supplementation.
Since I know what to look for and have found it, it is disturbing to see the marketplace trends and strategies.
I hear it and see it all the time.
30 day cleanse.
Gummy vitamins.
Snake Oil sales preying on insecurities and then peddling uncertified crap** recent studies have shown that 50% of what is sold in the mass consumer market is mislabeled/contaminated/contains illegal substances. REMINDER: supplements are not regulated.
What does one do?
In a marketplace full of empty promises, the best certification system in place for the USA consumer is with the NSF certified for sport program. This verifies that the product has had its label claims verified by a 3rd party. From the ingredients to the quality and efficacy, you know you are getting what you pay for.
(https://www.nsf.org/about-nsf/nsf-mark)
This is very important since you are depending on these products to fill in nutritional gaps that exist in everyone’s diets and especially for those that exercise regularly.
Your supplements should properly support your eating habits.
If you don’t eat wild fatty fish 3-5 times per week, you should be taking an NSF certified omega supplement with the right amounts of EPA (360mg) and DHA (240mg) for clinically effective doses:
“SuperOmega-3 contains the fatty acids DHA and EPA in the proper amounts and ratio to support heart/cardiovascular system, brain and eye health. Contains no mercury or harmful PCBs. Made from wild caught Alaska Pollock, from a certified, sustainable source. 3rd Party tested and NSF Certified for Sport!”
SuperOmega link
There are many more reasons that I exclusively use and recommend dotFIT. When it comes down to it, there are so many variables in nutrition and fitness, your supplements shouldn’t be one of those things.
Take away the guesswork. You don’t need a myriad of products to fill in essential nutrients.
EVERYONE should be on a multivitamin from womb to tomb.
WOMB? Whom?
PRENATALS. Your mother likely took them. That’s a multivitamin.
No matter how well we try to get all the nutrients we need from our food, there’s going to be deficiencies in key areas due to many variables outside of consumer control.
A high quality daily multivitamin is a big help in shoring up the gaps in the daily diet. Having your daily multivitamin won’t turn you into a superhero, but it will go a long way in helping your body maintain consistent nutrient levels.
“Properly designed, full spectrum multivitamin & mineral formula includes a “controlled release” delivery system. This formula has levels of Vitamins A, C and E to support the antioxidant needs of exercising individuals. Now includes Choline and higher amounts of Vitamin D and Vitamin C not typically found in other formulas. 3rd party tested and NSF Certified for Sport!”
(Multivitamin Link)
What other things are you not getting from your food each day? A tasty shake or two per day can help you control your eating habits, get ready faster, save money, get a satiating-no guilt treat that fulfills a meal requirement…the reasons go on and on. There are many powder choices available from dotFIT to cover every need out there.
From the classic low carb, high protein WheySmooth (Which can be added to any of the other blends to bolster the protein count when needed), to the youth formula FirstString, there’s something for everyone.
Plant based–vanilla, chocolate, and unflavored with optional flavor packets.
Pre/post: a perfect blend of protein and carbs for active individuals that need a few more carbs then the WheySmooth offers. Tastes great with just water or pair with the other powders in a smoothie for a larger meal.
There is also the LeanMealReplacement powder. This is great for those that are strictly using the powder as a morning or midday snack. This is not a pre/post workout formula. You definitely can add WheySmooth powder to this one too in order to meet your daily protein needs and it is quite tasty.
Well there’s a quick rundown on those products.
I put a list of various “Stacks” below.
Even if you don’t exercise on a regular basis, you will benefit greatly from proper supplementation. If you do exercise on a regular basis, proper supplementation is essential to your continued progression.

As you can see, the more advanced you become in your training regimen, the more need you have for recovery and the more gaps there are to fill in your nutrient replenishment (nutrition).
Move over Gatorade, BEER is here!
Beer as a sport’s drink? There is more science and evidence behind the consumption of non-alcoholic beer to aid in recovery than there is for Gatorade or other “sports” drinks. Performance drinks like Gatorade are not that popular in Germany and non-alcoholic beer can be found in vending machines at sports clubs there. Germany’s love for beer was well publicized around the 2018 Winter Olympic games with Germany brewer, Krombacher outfitting them with over 3,500 liters of the non-alcoholic beer and an additional 11,000 liters of their alcoholic version.
Why beer though? Based upon a double blind study conducted by Johannes Scherr, (financed by a brewing company), in which he gave runners in the 2009 Munich Marathon nonalcoholic beer every day for three weeks before and two weeks after the race. These runners suffered significantly less inflammation and fewer upper respiratory infections after the race than runners who had been given a placebo.
This study was conducted by Scherr to determine if there were in fact health benefits to beer, specifically non-alcoholic beer. “After that, we really had the proof: It’s really healthy and not only a marketing gag,” said Holger Eichele, the chief executive of the German Brewers Association. From 2011 to 2016, German consumption of nonalcoholic beer grew 43 percent even as overall beer consumption declined, according to Euromonitor International. Brewers developed new techniques to improve the flavor and offer more varieties of non-alcoholic beers. In response there’s now more than 400 nonalcoholic beers on the market in Germany. Iran is the only nation that consumes more non-alcoholic beer. As German alpine skier Linus Strasser says, “It tastes good, and it’s good for the body,” adding, “It’s isotonic. That’s why it’s good for us sports guys.”
An isotonic solution is a solution that has the same salt concentration as cells and blood. Think of an IV bag that you drink and tastes like beer because…it is beer. Further evidence needed?
Chilean doctors did another study on non-alcoholic beer in 2016. This study took seven professional soccer players of similar age and experience and put them through a double blind study. This study was not funded by any third parties like the German study, most notably, not funded by a brewer.
Conclusion of the 2016 Chilean study:
“The consumption of 0.7 L of non-alcoholic beer before exercise could help maintain blood electrolyte homeostasis during exercise. The consumption of 0.7 L of alcoholic beer before exercise increased plasma K+ and decreased plasma Na+ during exercise, which could negatively affect sport performance and health. Water ingestion before exercise also resulted in a decrease in plasma Na+ during exercise. Non-alcoholic beer, but not alcoholic beer or water, may be an effective sports drink before exercise.”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4924186/. In simple terms, non-alcoholic beer helps you maintain your electrolyte balance, and thus, heighten your endurance.
Based on these studies, the success of the German sports programs use of non alcoholic (The 2014 World Cup winning side became the first european nation to win a World Cup in the Southern hemisphere–Brazil. They had lots and lots of non-alcoholic beer), advocation from numerous athletes from around the globe, and my own experiences using non-alcoholic beer, it is recommended to ingest non-alcoholic beer for its numerous health benefits–and yes, it should replace your Gatorade and it should be part of your pre and post workout hydration and recovery plan.
In addition to the clinical studies on non-alcoholic beer, let’s review some of the “Benefits” of beer that are sure to exist in non-alcoholic beer (it just won’t make you dance better or other people prettier).
Beer contains polyphenols and antioxidants from the wheat, barley and hops. In addition to helping reduce inflammation, these wonderful beer byproducts are evidenced to boost the immune system, especially in the upper respiratory tract. Let’s also not forget XANTHOHUMOL, a flavonoid in beer, which has been proven in clinical studies to improve cognitive function.
Then there’s all the anecdotal evidence…beer can protect your heart, prevent kidney stones, lower bad cholesterol, strengthen bones, reduce stress, improve memory and do your taxes. (No, not the last part, just making sure you’re paying attention).
The known and assumed benefits of beer are even greater in nonalcoholic beer as proven by the above named studies and the known detriment of alcohol. There ARE benefits for 1-2 alcoholic drinks per day for adult males, and 1 alcoholic drink per day for females, but all benefits are lost once one exceeds those amounts and we all know too well how difficult those lines are. In other words, alcoholic drinks are not a health tonic, but you can and should consider a nonalcoholic beer as a health tonic and sports drink.
Other things of note in terms of NA beer (nonalcoholic beer) are that there are far fewer calories compared to its alcoholic counterpart. In addition to reaping all the known and associated health benefits from beer, many athletes struggle to get the replenishment necessary for continuous bouts of exercise. NA beer is emerging as a great response for this need. Many brewing companies are fashioning entire lines of NA beer to satisfy this expanding market. These brewers don’t seem to be dead set on punishing a drinker for choosing a NA beer, which is a far pour from their predecessors (Odouls, Sharps, etc). Like their predecessors, NA brewers are kind enough to package the product the same while also helping you feel the experience by charging you every bit as much as the supremely tasty micro-beer just down the aisle–so don’t worry, the experience is maintained. (Not complaining by the way, the cost of production for NA beer is no less than that of it’s crazy uncle Al).
My top two brewing companies that you can find just about anywhere for NA beer are the German brewer Clausthaler, and the American brewing company, Athletic Brewing out of Stratford, Connecticut. I would compare the lager from Clausthaler to a refreshing Rainier beer/Heineken/pilsner, while the Athletic Brewing Company offers an array of beers currently, three of which I have had many of, and enjoyed. The three I have had and liked are the “All out extra dark”–which is essentially a stout. The “Run Wild IPA”–which is a malt forward IPA with a touch of citrus. My favorite of these is the “Upside Dawn Golden Ale”–it is crisp and refreshing and tastes super great after a workout! The NA beer market as a whole will be predicated by the promotion of NA beer as a health drink. In the name alone and with sports celebrity endorsements, Athletic brewing has signified this and brands like Gruvi are right there with the science backed taglines.
BEST of the Near Beer Best?
1.CRUX NO MO IPA
2.FREMONT N/A IPA
3. GUINNESS DOES A GREAT N/A IRISH STOUT
4. DESCHUTES HIT THE MARK WITH THEIR N/A PORTER
I use NA beer in the crucial pre and post workout windows, and throughout the day–literally whenever I feel the want. I love having them along for before, during, and after hikes. For bodybuilding specifically, NA beer has been very helpful in the “Carb Up” process leading into a show, to keep inflammation down, and to help calm the nerves leading up to performing near naked in front of judges and an audience.
In the end for me, NA beer has been a godsend. I love beer. I have been drinking it since I was a kid, no kidding. I was a very unofficial, rather inebriated, and unapologetic spokesman for Rainier Beer as, “Ranierman” for many years (picture attached). I understand the thirst for beer. Furthermore, I know my thirst for beer with alcohol in it doesn’t produce my finer moments and hinders my ability to progress to the person I want to be. Alternatively, I have discovered through research and application that NA beer aids and promotes my progress. NA beer alternatives offer a healthy option to those looking to maintain social connections in alcoholic environments without stigma and with all the benefits of beer (minus the clouding of inhibition). NA beer also provides a myriad of health benefits that warrant its inclusion into the daily diet. The evolution of NA beer in regards to science backed proof of its benefits and the expansion of brewing technology and marketplace, promises more good brews to come!
“ NA beer leaves me with no restrictions-I can have the beer whenever and not have to worry about any side effects of alcohol like impairment, dehydration, or a hang over. NA beer really lets me unwind and not worry about a thing, and it does not sacrifice on taste. That helps me get the fluids necessary to keep my body running”
— BEN KANUTE, OLYMPIC TRIATHLETE
2019 Ironman Overall Victory
“I Drank NA beer throughout my prep and especially the night before in my Carb Up process! I prefer Clauthauler or Athletic Brewing Company for my NA beers.” …Ryan Bee, Classic Physique overall winner 2019 NW Ironman Naturally, WNBF physique Pro, and owner/creator of BEEfit training systems and studios.

5 Essential Dietary Tips that are Undeniable!
Number one: Drink More water
-aim for one ounce of water for every pound of weight–or simply a gallon a day is great for most!
Number two: Reduce your sugar intake. This includes fruit juices, “Sugar Free” additives that emulate sugar, and there is likely a lot more sugar in processed foods–so watch out.
Number three: Eat more veggies! It is hard for most people to habituate this habit–taking some greens in a supplement form just isn’t the same. Prep yourself for success!
Number four: Eat more whole foods! (And less processed foods!). Nutritionally dense foods are typically loaded with protein, slow release carbs, healthy fats, fiber, and more–so load up your fridge and pantry with the right foods!
Number five: Fill in nutritional gaps and times in your day with a practitioner grade supplement to ensure against malnutrition and promote optimal health. There is getting by and there is thriving. You might be getting by without proper supplementation, but YOU WILL NEVER THRIVE WITHOUT IT! I am being blunt and honest here. The body demands a lot from your nutrition and the foods we consume are typically low in vital nutrients we need. By doing the simple act of taking a high quality multivitamin and mineral complex, one can have the assurance that they are getting the nutrients they need. Additionally, most people are in need of additional protein in their diets, or have other deficiencies brought on by their diet or environment. Using the certified, practitioner grade supplementation I recommend to address these deficiencies is an essential way to progress towards optimal health.
Which Supplement Brand do I recommend?
dotFIT…see link below
Additional tips:
Keep your eating windows to 12 hours.
Eat every 2-4 hours–prolonged starvation windows are not helpful and eating/snacking less than 120 minutes from your last meal is not likely to be utilized by the body! In other words, if you are wearing it, you ate it!
Consistency is key!
Most food cravings are habits and not needs!

My Goals… (as shared on IG)
Classic bodybuilding. I’m an all natural bodybuilder—no synthetics in these aesthetics. A lot of inspiration for the physique I aspire for comes from the golden era of bodybuilding and greats like Frank Zane (I’m not saying one way or the other that he was all natural btw). Like a statue saluting muscular proportionality. My results are indicative of my training and no shortcuts have been taken–in fact, mostly long routes wrought with obstacles…so I have a good sense of the terrain here…
I recognize I’ll probably never be over 200 pounds at this point in my lifting career (I’m nearly 40 and I’m 175 pounds stage weight here—goal is 10 more pounds!). But I’ll keep working hard to add quality muscle in balanced deposits and continue to develop better habits and systems for achieving the best physique. This is just one of the ways I continue to add to my arsenal of teaching techniques.
There are so many nuances to improving the physique to its peak. Working in the bodybuilding community with other professionals and aspiring professionals keeps the inspiration fresh. Iron sharpens iron. Anyways. I’m coming for you Frank Zane and my goals are to be a #wnbfworlds champion in #physique and #bodybuilding and to go pro in #classicphysique putting it in writing makes me have to keep my word.

Habits you can implement today that will make you healthier…
1- drink water. Consume 1 oz. h2O for every pound of weight
2- take 3 separate 10 minute walks per day–preferably following meals.
3-Eating within established eating windows–12 hour window and eat every 2-3 hours.
4-take an NSF certified, daily multivitamin and mineral complex. Why? Because the average diet is deficient in key micronutrients and minerals.
-But I eat healthy you say…Great, so do I, and I still take my multivitamin and benefit from it. There is no way to account for varying nutritional deficiencies from our food sources. A high quality multivitamin is insurance against deficiencies.
-Oh I take a gummy multivitamin from Costco you say…well bully for you, you’ve gotten into the habit of taking something you “think” is good for you. Now let’s address the FACT that even if that gummy had label claims backed by science and a third party (which it DOES NOT), your body wouldn’t be absorbing those key micronutrients and minerals at the proper time in the digestive system. In other words, the gummy is broken down so fast and absorbed so rapidly, that any nutritional value fails to be dispersed when you actually need it. You do get a refreshing and habit building fish of glucose though.
-I actually take this really expensive vitamin pack from my friend who sells supplements and shakes you say…Oh great, are those NSF certified supplements? Oh they’re not tested by a third party at all? But they come in a variety of super nummy flavors and fantastic label claims and the value is so good you say. Well I think if you hear what you are saying, you know you are full of shit.
-keep it simple here when it comes to supplementation. I stand by ONE brand. It is the ONE brand I take and the only brand I recommend to my clients and my family, dotFIT.

It is time to constantly be more consistent towards your aspirations and dreams
As some of you know, and a few appreciate, I am a writer. As some of you may know, and a few appreciate, I am a bodybuilder. I bring the two together in my training. The mind works better when in harmony with the body and the body works best in motion. This is what I mean when I speak of “Neuroplasticity.” The mind awakens during activity and new thoughts and patterns of thought emerge as the mind is more apt and able to expand and develop.
Daily activity for the body, daily activity for the mind:
As I mentioned earlier, I have a passion for bodybuilding and an affinity for writing. These are my two main habits of health. I pour my spirit into these activities consistently, and they constantly provide my spirit, mind, and body opportunity for growth. Growth, aka, change, are constants. Why would we choose anything other than consistent growth?
Where do you start?
We all begin at different stages.
The key is to begin a plan that allows for consistency and progress.
If you are not consistent, the habit can’t change you.
If you are not progressing, the habit won’t intrinsically motivate you, and you quit or consistently simply “go through the motions,” missing out on the valuable mind-muscle connections and fail to find the value in the activity.
Without progress we feel like failures and most folks won’t continue to do things they consistently fail at.
Mind:
I recommend a daily journal. Write whatever you want for 15-30 minutes a day. Perhaps it is just a series of expletives or a run-on sentence ramble, or an opus of sorts, or anywhere in between–fabulous, get the thoughts out on paper or into the word processor screen. I ask that you actually write and don’t use dictation methods, as they disrupt the physical link of your mind to body as you shape and trace language onto the page.
-I recommend a monthly, “Rantpad/journal” that you fill up each month with your thoughts, feelings, expressions, and so much more. You are not limited to the non-fiction section of your life. -Expand and get fansical, comical, whimsical–put yourself on a pedestal, drag yourself through whatever hell or heaven you want on paper–then step back and see what story you’d rather attach yourself to.
-If you just cannot get yourself to do this journal step, reach out to me for some writing prompts please.
Body:
Keep it simple.
Keep it consistent.
Form: Range of motion, time under tension, and proper execution of motor patterns.
Exercise variety: Personal goals, body types, equipment access, etc will dictate the needs here. The thing is though, that if you properly do a steady regimen of even body weight motions, one can maintain an established physique and improve upon a, “Non-established Physique.”
That is to say, if you’re, “Out of shape” and waiting for the right gym to open up right near you with the right schedule, etc: you are falling for an excuse for failure or suffering from ignorance–which is just another excuse for failure.
If you don’t know how to do something that you feel/know can help you progress, LEARN.
Learn on your own or from an expert in the field.
Learning on your own is often more time consuming, wrought with errors and setbacks, but in my experience, rewarding.
If you are in, “No hurry,” are a self starter/learner, then going it on your own can be rewarding. One cannot argue that having someone with more experience/knowledge to learn from/with, can provide tremendous opportunities for additional growth.
Conclusion:
If you are the smartest/hardest training/thinking person in the room, find a new room or invite more knowledge into your room.
Most of us have been hosts to bad habits and EXCUSES.
We all hear that lazy, adversarial voice in our heads.
How much you listen to that voice is a matter of habit, a matter of choice.
You can rewire the voice(s).
You can make the choice(s).
Recognize that the body is more willing than the mind.
If the two of you combine and strategize, you will realize a progressive potential.
You won’t see the glass as half empty or full, you will see the full glass getting larger.
The vessel is always full, so it will need to consistently expand to meet the demand of the contents that are not content to keep their volume down.
Let’s get loud.
Let’s be proud of our progressions but not prideful.
Let’s get rid of the excuses that tie us to bad habits, this will be wonderful.
Time to formulate a plan:
I am here on Earth to share my passions for writing and fitness.
With God as my witness, I am committed to this.
I believe the two will save the world.
Writing for expanding the ability of communication.
Fitness for providing proactive health care that also makes for healthier minds, so we can better express ourselves verbally to one another and through our daily actions.
I have my teaching systems rooted in experience and nurtured by application.
