Woodland, CA MY PERSONAL BIO:
When I grew up, we often viewed the “elderly”or “retired” people on Social Security as those that were ready to sit back in a rocking chair and do nothing. Well, that is changing! I am a father of 2 boys and 3 grandchildren. I have spent my life enjoying each moment of their lives along with my wife of almost 41 years.

When I grew up, we often viewed the “elderly”or “retired” people on Social Security as those that were ready to sit back in a rocking chair and do nothing. Well, that is changing! I am a father of 2 boys and 3 grandchildren. I have spent my life enjoying each moment of their lives along with my wife of almost 41 years. I started dating my wife in high school and today our common bond and commitment to God is something we share with each level of our family. We are proud to be “senior citizens.” My wife also is a MDB coach and she will tell her story in her own personal Bio.
I have only been a coach with MDB for two months, yet I can already see tremendous changes in how I feel and what I can do. I spent most of my adult life working as a Manager of Retail Pharmacies involved with people, their illness’s, and explaining medical questions to them. I actually retired when I was 50, back in 1997, but when the reality of Sept. 11th hit me, I realized I needed to be able to take care of my family financially if the need arose. Most of my Pharmacy career has been spent in California, but I didn’t hold a Pharmacy license this state, because I managing people, not dispensing medicine. In 2002 I went to the Board of Pharmacy to learn about getting my license in California and I was told that no one my age (56 at that time), had ever tried—so probably the odds were zero. My wife and I studied 10 hours a day for almost a year and I was able to pass the boards and obtain my Pharmacy license. I praise God and thank my wife for this. At the present time I hold licenses in 7 states—it allows us to enjoy traveling to a variety of places.
Then, 3 years ago, my sciatic nerve became pinched in my spinal cord and I had to have major surgery, a fusion of the spinal cord in that area, and I have 2 titanium rods and 4 titanium screws in my back. Obviously, I felt my active life was pretty well over.
By working out using the MDB program, I have been able to strengthen my entire body, but especially my back and legs. Most of the time, the pain that I had become used to living with is now gone. I am again able to play golf and do the things I enjoy. THANK YOU MDB!!!
You too can share this program if you desire. There is no doubt that it will transform your life and prove to you that aging is largely a state of the mind. If I can do it—you can do it.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions about the programs, the products, and how I worked with them to obtain my results, or how to have the rewards of becoming an MDB coach and all it can bring. May God bless you as you start this walk of a healthy life style.

Transformation Story 4/07/08 60 days
Since the major back surgery I had done 3 years ago, I wondered if I would ever be able to do the things I used to do. I had my some of my disc fused and I have two Titanium rods and 4 Titanium screws in my lower back. I love to golf, but my muscles were so out of shape and weak that I couldn’t do it well. My wife and I enjoy hiking and traveling, but again the low back stopped that. Everyone said; strengthen your muscles and you will be much better, but the ability to stay on an exercise program wasn’t there. Then I heard about MDB. A good friend had made such a difference in her strength, weight, and total physical presentation that I felt I had to look into it. I have always depended on my Lord for the direction I need to go, so as I took this to Him in prayer, I found that MDB was a program that could work if I just decided that it can make a difference if I work at it. Thus, my resolve was set. Since starting on Feb 8th, I have lost 11lbs and almost 2 inches around my waist. But the Biggest difference is my stamina and muscle strength along with my mental attitude. Instead of sitting around being depressed by what I couldn’t do, I focus on what I can do. To do this, I have used many of the MDB products such as the “Meal Replacement Shake,” the “P90X After-Workout Drink,” the Peak Performance Protein Bar,” the Beach Body Performance Formula and the Activite Vitamins. The DVD that I use the most is the “Power 90, Phase 3&4”. I am getting ready to switch to the “P90X Extreme Home Fitness DVD’s” to isolate more muscle areas. I really like the ability to vary my exercise program daily and work on different parts of my body without stressing any of them out. It is a wonderful program with exercises of all different types and ability levels that anyone of any age can do. At age 62, I can! The MDB products make suck a difference in my ability to keep at this level of Exercise and the workout DVD’s give such a great variety of workouts that there Is never a reason not to do them. If any one has a question as to what I use and how I use it, please feel free to email me and I will get back to you immediately. May you be blessed in all you do: Garya
