About the Book
"Better Body Wannabe" is a simple guide told straight from the mouths of some of today's hottest health and fitness experts in a way that very simply, but bluntly, gives you the basics about what, when, where, why, and importantly how to start living your life the right way, the healthy way, to get a Better Body! It is a sampling of what some of today's brightest, finest, most dedicated and most helpful health experts have to say about what you eat, how you move and why achieving a healthy weight is the one investment we can all afford to make - and can't afford not to make! What This Book Is About: - Going from being a better body wannabe to, "Yeah, baby!"
- Making simple changes that stick
- Gathering information from many sources
- Finding ways to make wellness affordable
- Adopting a can-do attitude
- Valuing the opinions of professionals who value the opinions of other professionals
- Eating junk food sometimes, especially if it means spending time with our friends, but trying to prepare and plan well so that is rarely necessary
What This Book Is NOT About: - Judging the shortcomings of a sincere effort
- Letting food become the boss of our lives. Whether it dictates that we eat poorly or it pulls at our tendency to obsess about eating perfectly, food is NOT the boss. The people around us are far more important than the food we eat.

About the Author: Tiffany Youngren is the founder and CEO of www.TransferofHealth.com, a website-slash-blog featuring recipes, wellness tips, fitness articles, and more, which she started in 2011. In the process of researching food and exercise for her own family's wellness, and to develop TransferofHealth.com, she has met and developed relationships with countless bloggers, dietitians, foodies, naturopaths, and other health and wellness professionals, as well as fitness experts. Tiffany and her husband of over twenty years, Duane, have three grown children. Both grew up in scenic Skagit County in Northwest Washington, where they sold real estate for over eighteen years. Tiffany was active in the community, business organizations, and her church, where she sang with several of the worship teams at Christ the King Community Church locations in Northwest Washington. She moved to Austin, Texas, with her family in 2008, then to Columbus, Montana, in 2012. She continues to thrive in the business world where she assists entrepreneurs, management, and employees in a variety of industries including real estate and finance. You can see what Tiffany is working on now by visiting her LinkedIn profile at www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanyyoungren/. Tiffany has always loved to cook, and considers herself a huge foodie. Nutrition has been an interest of Tiffany's for some time, and she has an innate fondness for physical fitness. She was an athlete in high school, and enjoyed sampling many of the workouts featured in her new book, Better Body Wannabe, including P90X, yoga, pilates, and Zumba. Fitness has also played a big role in Tiffany's interest in health and longevity. Like readers of her book, Tiffany struggles with making time to work out-and talking herself into doing it when she does have time. Compiling the trainers' interviews for Better Body Wannabe has allowed her to see that fitness is a lifestyle, not an event-a truly encouraging thought! She sincerely hopes the book encourages others as well.
