"As a single parent...IT MATTERS...if we don't make it! It changes EVERYTHING in our kids' world(s).  Having a healthy weight MATTERS.  Not just that though...emotional, physical, mental, financial factors impact our health as well. If we are not the best for ourselves, we cannot fill our kids' lives. The more we can be the best for ourselves, the more we can affirm and love our children."

Meet Melissa Brown is the co-founder of My One Healthy Life LLC located in the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Florida area.  She's veteran of the United States Navy, has a blended family of 5 adult children, 5 grandkids and 2 fur babies. 

She challenges single parents to imagine our future self in 5 years.  What is that future person asking you to stop, start, do more of, or do less of?  Health, Finances, Exhaustion, or something else?

In her own life, she actually let go of 40 lbs and 5 dress sizes. This revealed a passion in her heart  to help others achieve the best version of themselves. In addition, many others wanted her help for themselves their families and friends.

She gives us 5 quick tips:

1. Write down the goal you want to achieve - especially if it is related to our health

2. Meals every 2 hours after waking up (1st w/in one hour of waking up)

3.  DRINK MORE WATER.

4.  Get UP and GO. MOVE your body hourly for about 5 minutes.  

5.  Make time for self care that gives you 7 hours of sleep nightly

 

Melissa's mission is to guide others, especially singles, toward their own healthy life through a transformation process to live healthier, happier, lives for as long as possible.
