thriving moving forwarD - a Guide to healthy aging

Thriving Moving Forward represents the integration of scientific, evidence-based information and the tools to make lifestyle changes that produce healthy outcomes that last.

I teamed up with healthy aging guru, Debbye Omlie, to produce this healthy aging beginner's manual for creating a customized plan for lasting health.

How do you want to spend the limited time you have left?

Managing chronic disease or terminal illness?

Chasing down what it is to "feel normal" again?

Or do you want to achieve the highest quality of life possible, with a lower risk of disease and disability?

Many people believe they are doomed to decline based on their inherited genes. However, the plethora of research shows that your genes constitute only up to 20% of the risk of inherited disease(s).  How we decline is up to us.

We control more than we think.

A mysterious transformation sweeps the globe overnight.  A shared dream awakens humanity into a world of light, love, and unity.  Fear vanishes.  Conflict dissolves.  Hunger, grief, and despair are no longer part of the human condition.  Society reorganizes itself around peace, purpose, and effortless cooperation.

But some are left behind—trapped in their old selves while the rest of humanity moves forward without them. They endure pain, isolation, and quiet erasure under the guise of enlightenment. When a small group of the Unawakened escapes a brutal confinement, rebellion and scientific inquiry begin to peel back the dream’s surface, pointing to the possibility that its source is anything but divine.

As the truth emerges, peace reveals its price. Moral certainty collides with survival. The Great Awakening confronts readers with a haunting question: if an entrancing paradise ends human suffering, but quietly decides who belongs—and who doesn’t—would you let it continue, or would you dare to wake the world?
