(736 words) If you turned to this page, you are most likely thinking it wise to give Nature’s Lifestyle Change System with its six-step formula a chance at repairing your lifestyle. After all, who can go wrong with Nature’s wisdom guiding the steps to a permanently healthier lifestyle? Conceived by Nature, the six all inclusive steps—1-Internal Strength, 2-Mind-Body Harmony, 3-Nutrition-Movement Harmony, 4-Lifestyle Change Line, 5-Ongoing Challenges, and 6-Healthier Outcomes, take you from tapping into your internal strength at step one and relying on that strength to take you all the way to step 6—healthier outcomes. Nature programmed into the core of each step the capacity to assist followers to gain strength, flexibility, balance and relaxation. Since its formation, Nature’s Lifestyle Change System with its six- step formula had remained in an embryonic state. It was patiently waiting centuries for someone like me capable of tuning in to Nation’s wisdom intensely enough to respect the astuteness of the System’s development. To shake the six steps awake—and to do so at a time when they are needed most by society worldwide. The time is ripe because according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and other experts, a massive health tsunami is already upon us since two-thirds of adults and one-third of children in the USA are in health trouble simply because of their troubling lifestyles. In addition, the World Health Organization says that 40% of the world’s population is overweight or obese. These disheartening statistics are powered by lifestyle choices. Let us begin by looking at the one and only challenge that Nature absolutely insists that you accomplish to have any chance of taking full advantage of improving your health according to her wisdom. That challenge is that you must change your lifestyle. Lifestyle changes under Nature’s wisdom mean changes in the two most important lifestyle areas, nutrition and movement. Within Nature’s six step formula are aids to provide you the support you need to make these changes. Science is in agreement that the body is made up of eleven systems, (nervous, skeletal, integumentary, muscular, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, urinary, immune, digestive and reproductive) Nature lets all who will heed her wisdom know that each part of each of the body’s systems is equally important and have been designed to work together with all other systems for efficient functioning of the entire body. Simply put, automobiles, for example, have systems similar to how the body was designed to function. We all know that if all auto parts are running efficiently the car will run smoothly. If one part or another is not operating up to par the car will not run smoothly or not run at all, depending on which part is deficient. It is the same with the body. If the respiratory system, for example, is not up to par, the functioning of the entire body will not run smoothly, or not run at all, depending on the extent of the deficiency. In laying out her plan to focus on nutrition and movement, Nature pointed me to two qualities of success that she programmed into all of her creations. These two qualities are passion and perseverance. Passion and perseverance are Nature’s weapons of choice as they work in tandem with her to meet her own challenges. They fit so snugly into Nature’s six step formula that I coined the word passionverance to symbolize the fact that passion and perseverance are more powerful when applied together to meet life’s challenges. Without both, challenges will go unmet. Nature has already revealed the health realities that you struggle with due to your unhealthful lifestyle through her communications of pain and/or functional deficiency. Your doctor may also have uncovered Nature’s information about your health situation through examinations and lab tests. At any rate, you are well aware that it is time for you to get serious about your health. So this book does not preach to you about the importance of taking better care of yourself, especially now that you are older than you were “yesterday”. You already know the additional risks to health that aging bring. This book lays out how Nature took hold and guided me all the way to super health step-by-step. If you can meet her requirements, meaning if you are willing to work hard to learn from my years of experiences, you will be able to follow Nature’s guidance step-by-step towards a permanently healthier lifestyle. It took me years to figure out and to apply Nature’s powerful passionverance secrets. The developmental work and the informal trials are complete. The results are all in. After 30 years of living according to Nature’s six step formula, I have gotten younger from the inside out at the cellular level, which is the most critical way to change, according to Dr. Henry S. Lodge, coauthor of “Younger Next Year”. Lodge declares, “Most aging is just the dry rot we program into our cells by sedentary living, junk food and stress”. My healthier results are verified by official medical exams such as a healthy, strong resting heart rate that hovers around 28 beats per minute. A blood pressure reading that hover around 105/68. Femur bones on X-Ray show thickness rather than thinning as I age. Blood panels taken before and after a six day ultra-marathon foot race, I ran in my early seventies, showed thickening of my oxygen-carrying red blood cells in response to my muscle’s need for additional oxygen. These are but a few of the healthy results due to long-term lifestyle changes. Know that your results will depend on your level of effort, the amount of time you devote, your desire and your beginning health and fitness levels. At a minimum, however, you have the opportunity to move closer to becoming healthier than you are at this moment. The opportunity to reap all of Nature’s necessities of life is actually living not with Nature but taking up residence inside Nature. Anyone fortunate enough to understand and submit to the powerful benefits that Nature provides (as I have) will automatically have access to a life long lifestyle that is healthy and fit in spite of aging. If you choose to follow my example, you can begin to take full advantage of Nature’s wisdom as quickly as you wish. You won’t need 30 years to figure things out. All you need do is to pack up your existing lifestyle, leave it outside and move inside Nature where you can take the first step now. Imagine, before the wheel was invented, people had no clue to what extent their life would change for the better. It is the same with Nature’s six-step formula. The wheel’s inventor came up against the same challenge that Nature’s six-step formula is now facing. Although Nature’s six-step formula was not invented by human hands and the wheel was, they both needed to explain the worth of something that never existed in society before. Someone obviously did a praiseworthy job explaining the worth of the wheel since it has affected civilization to the highest degree. In this book, I attempt to do an equally praiseworthy job of explaining the worth of Nature’s six-step formula to the health and well-being of society, so those who need it most will value its worth over the next temporary quick fix but unsafe and unhealthy brief lifestyle change. It is your decision. You can return this book to its place on the shelf along side the books that had led to your frustrations and continue to struggle with your health as you age. Or you can buy this book and take a chance on Nature’s wisdom to help you take steps to a healthier lifestyle.

About the Author
Betty Holston Smith grew up in the 1940s and 1950s in Chevy Chase, Maryland, amidst nature-rich virgin woods, in a family whose parents imparted passion for learning to all six of their children. Betty’s passion for learning manifested as wondering about everything in nature’s virgin woods and beyond. As a child, Smith devised an investigatory routine that helped to satisfy her passion. First, she played up her passion for wondering by simply wondering—about most things. She then copiously scrutinized the situation her wondering focused on at the time. Next, she dissected the focused situation and extracted its essential parts. And finally, she satisfied her wondering of the focused situation by becoming a copycat, attempting to replicate or imitate it. For example, as a child Smith wondered if she could successfully transplant one of nature’s colorful wildflower gardens from the woods into her own yard. She wondered what it might be like to shriek in fun like the white kids in the deep end of the county’s segregated swimming pool. She wondered what it would take to continue her education through the terminal degree as a part-time student and a full-time wife, mother, and employee. She wondered what it would take to give up junk food, lose weight, become active, and stop smoking. In her thirties, Smith took five years of swimming lessons and did indeed shriek in fun in the deep end. As a part-time student, she completed three degrees, which took thirty-two years beyond high school. She trashed diets in favor of using the biomimicry process of copying nature’s lifestyle change wisdom to maintain an eighty-pound weight loss over forty-four years and becoming a non-smoking, vegan-eating, ultra-marathon runner. She did all of this and much more by living nature’s Lifestyle Change System’s six-step formula.
