Wayne focuses on Nutrition and a basic philosophy, "If you want to be tough, you have to eat good stuff!" An amazing man with an awesome story. Give him a minute and he'll give you a lifetime!

From the moment Dr. Wayne rolls out of bed to take some time out for Spiritual Growth putting into his mind the most Positive Aphorisms to jump-start his day until he retires in the evening, it's a healthful day.

A lifestyle that is the envy of anyone at any age.

• 7:30 - 8:00 AM = rolls out of bed and does devotions daily; drinks a glass or two of room temperature DISTILLED water; breathes some fresh clean air and enjoys the great sounds of nature, i.e. ocean sounds, birds singing and the wind through the trees.

• 8:00 - 9:00 AM = eats whatever fresh fruit that's in Season and eats it in abundance as it's truly Nature's FAST FOOD! He prepares his Noon Meal and puts the Salad for part of his Evening Meal in the refrigerator as he likes to have it ready when he wants it… strictly for convenience sake. This way everything is done at once. Everything he eats is exactly like you'll find in his "The Perfect Diet Program"!



• 9:00 - Noon = He works in his office at his home doing his marketing of his Seminars and doing his Nutritional Consultations via the phone and any other scheduled business for the day. And if he's a bit hungry before his Noon Meal, he'll have some more Fresh Fruit that's in Season also found in his "The Perfect Diet Program"!

• Noon = He eats his Noon Meal and goes back into his office until 1:00 PM



• 1:00 - 2:00 PM = One of his favorite times of day = 1 Hour NAP TIME



• 2:00 = 4:00 PM = Fitness portion of the day. It always includes a warm up of about 15-30 minutes on his trampoline or 15-30 minutes jumping rope along with some stretching and a little abdominal work.

This is always the same throughout the entire week.

• Monday & Thursday = Upper Body Day = The training varies from May 1 - Nov 1 with a good swim in the ocean at the end of his street and some good upper body calisthenics, i.e. push ups, dumbbells curls, chin ups, pull ups and dips along with some bench presses.



• Tuesday & Friday = Lower Body Day = Either a good walk/run on the beach with a combination of lunges, calve raises, and some light squats.



• Wednesday & Sunday = Bike Day = Does a minimum of 25-40 miles on each day. He does "The Loop" which is around the old Florida Swamp Plantation Route and about 25 miles. Quite a bit of the time he'll do the Sunday ride on the beach to check out the sights as it is the World's Most Famous Beach = Daytona Beach, so lots is happening all year round. And of course to catch some surf and throw the Frisbee with one of his beach buddies.



• Saturday = "PLAY DAY" & his SABBATH DAY!

No work on that day unless he's on the road speaking to one of the many Corporate Conventions that hire him to Motivate and Inspire the audience to make health their first concern and not their last resort. Corporations realize that a good health care program in the corporate world definitely reduces absenteeism and disability; increases productivity and competitiveness; allows for employer health benefit savings; reduces mortality and morbidity along with enhancing company morale.

• 4:00 - 6:00 PM = Daily chores in town, i.e. bank, post office, grocery shopping; office supply, or whatever he needs to do in town for that day!



• 6:00 - 1:00 AM = Eat his Evening Meal and relaxes a bit and goes back into his office to do less communication work and more of the technological side of his business = research; written correspondence; or maybe an In health America Meeting with some of his Distributors. And of course since he's a single man, there is definitely some social time there as well!

Wayne feels the whole country is in a gridlock with their lifestyle and can't enjoy themselves by being just with themselves that they have to go out and find ways to enjoy themselves. He's noticed that a pretty normal lifestyle includes getting up about 30 - 60 minutes before a person has to go to work, eat something quick like coffee & donuts, etc. then rush to work fighting traffic as they go to get a 15 minute break in the morning and ˝ hour - 1 hour for lunch then back to work at usually something people hate to do.

They are just working for money, hence taking a mortgage out on their lives, proclaiming that they are only worth a certain amount of money…how unfulfilling They've never found out how to find their true uniqueness, which is one of Dr. Wayne's excerpts in his seminars.

Now they get another 15-minute break only to fight the traffic on the way home to usually a house full of stress. They eat something that wasn't really that good for them to begin with and found themselves in front of the TV to escape that dreadful lifestyle they've worked themselves into never thinking that it's all a matter of choice and not chance! Now off to bed to start that humdrum lifestyle all over again. It's not much wonder people die a way before their time.

Now the big reward comes with putting in 40 hours (minimum) a week for 40 years of our life for a $40.00 watch to live on a retirement income that is ˝ of what they could barely live on before they got retired. What a reality check.

Most of the time people start the day with caffeine, get through the day with nicotine and relax in the evening with alcohol and tranquilizers just to start the next with something that fizzes. Not something Dr. Wayne wants any part of and that can all be changed with his message and his working with In health America has helped to change lives for the better. He realizes that we either get old and better or old and bitter. And we are all on the Road to Death, so why jump in the Passing Lane? To be in total harmony with oneself knowing that your life definitely has purpose is one of the most gratifying things a person can experience. The person who dies with the most toys----still dies and the best things in life aren't things, it's life! Our lives are not dress rehearsals. We only go around one time. And we are not garbage dumps with hairy lids. This is our corporate headquarters and we own 100% stock in a blue chip corporation. Don't sell your stock cheap. Put a high price tag on your stock, serve your fellow man/woman, honor God in all you do and you have to win at this Game of Life! And by the way, a game is all it is, so start having fun in your life as the amount of people who attend your funeral usually depends on the weather that day.
