Everybody talks about a healthy, strong, toned body. But what about our brains?
In Greg Crawford’s book, The Brain Detox Diet, he addresses the very thing most people neglect when shifting into better physical health ~ their brain. He tackles the aspects of our thought processes that keep us stuck in bad habits and negative thinking, which can lead to poor physical fitness. Greg is the owner of My Training Gym in Morristown, and he knows fitness!

Fitness as a total soul concept is often overlooked. Our bodies are the houses for our souls. Therefore, our body is, indeed, a sacred temple. For so long, I did not understand this. I treated my body like a thing to do what I told it to do. And I was always pretty lucky in that regard. I was a ballet dancer and gymnast until my mid-20s. Then I became a runner with weight training thrown in. I have exercised, in some form or another, at least five days a week for most of my life. I thought I was doing all the right things to keep my body strong and healthy.
And then the day came that my body did not respond the way it always had, and frankly, I was a bit lost about it all. My body had changed with the birth of my two children and while I was still in good shape, I couldn’t sustain the same exercise regime.
Not being able to do what I was accustomed to left me feeling very blue and I discovered a host of unhealthy thoughts had been living inside my brain just bursting to get out and take hold of me. That was when I realized that my brain had as much power as my body and it was time to trim it down and tone it up!
I’ve had to reprogram my thinking. It was crazy what was whirling around in my head! One minute I heard that I was a loser because I couldn’t do as many situps as I used to, and the next minute a voice would snidely talk to me about being too sexy for a mother.
Geesh! All those negative messages that I received as a girl and into my adulthood needed to go! I had to learn to love my body and its new changes and stop judging myself. I realized that I had grown up with mixed messages about body image and I couldn’t run from the damage it had quietly caused me my whole life. I had already shifted so much of the negativity surrounding me. But now it was time to detox my brain and shift what was hiding inside of me…
