About Me

Thank you for visiting my blog! My name is Brenda Ajay and I am a health & fitness coach with Team Beachbody. My husband and I have 3 wonderful children and I feel like the luckiest girl alive for being able to stay at home with them as they were growing up. A few years ago, when I decided to go back to work, the last thing on earth I thought I would become is a health and fitness coach. That thought never even entered my mind! But sometimes the best things in life come unexpectedly.

In 2011 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes pain and inflammation in the joints and limits mobility. Waking up every morning in excruciating pain, I hated how I felt. And when I looked in the mirror I hated what I saw. I am a busy mom and keeping up with my kids and all their activities is a full-time job and I suddenly found myself unable to keep up.







Treatment for RA is a process and it's different for every patient. And although there's no cure, it is possible to manage the disease and its symptoms. Gaining control of RA, and most chronic illnesses, means that you have to make your health and wellness a priority and that is not a selfish act. Think of it this way, you can take much better care of the important people in your life by first taking care of yourself.

I remember sitting in the waiting room at the rheumatologist's office surrounded by people of all ages, young children to the very old, who were fighting this disease. I had no idea how serious RA was and it was sobering to see it's devastation right there in front of me.

RA, and auto immune diseases in general, force you to slow down, Begin by taking a closer look at your lifestyle and become an active participant in your treatment. Look closely and you'll begin to see that there is a direct relationship between how you  eat and how you feel. The driving force behind RA is chronic inflammation which may also contribute to other diseases like heart disease, diabetes and many forms of cancer. Chronic inflammation is like a wildfire within your body. You can't see it but you sure can feel it's destruction. 

For most of us, medication is not an option - it's a necessity. But it's also only part of the treatment. The best way you can help yourself is to eliminate the things from your diet and environment that trigger inflammation. Begin by eating clean - eliminating processed and fast foods and limit sugar and alcohol. Then make an effort to manage stress and exercise to the best of your ability and you're off to a good start. The transformation for me was slow; but through food, exercise and lifestyle changes, I was able to successfully turn my health around.

Make a promise to yourself today to treat your body and your life like the precious gift that it is.

Start today!

• Learn about clean eating and an anti-inflammatory diet. 
• Educate yourself and seek support, share ideas and "team-up" with others who have similar health concerns. 
• Talk to your doctor about fitness options like yoga, pilates, walking, swimming & Beachbody (You'll be surprised by how many doctors support Beachbody). 
• Don't expect too much too soon. 
• Remember that this is a process - a lifestyle change, and every day is a small step towards regaining your health. 
• Focus on progress not perfection. 
• And, most importantly, never give up. Everything that you do or fail to do has affects someone else too. Most directly your spouse and kids. Become the person you want them to be. 

Everyone's situation is different and I'll admit what worked for me may not be the answer for you, but eating clean and regular fitness is something everyone can benefit from no matter what physical condition you are in. In my opinion, Beachbody has the best programs to help beginners ease into wellness. They offer simple fitness, simple meal plans and support to meet all your needs. I believe in Beachbody's programs and products and I'm convinced that you will like them too.
