Tell us a bit about your approach to weight loss and your weight loss program.
Several try to lose weight and then stop or give up. What do you tell those whom don’t have the willpower to continue?
They say weight loss is an overall mindset and lifestyle change. Do you believe that and what do you think about these fad diets are on the marketplace today promising rapid weight loss in a month.
What are some of your weight loss tips for getting healthy and staying healthy this summer?
How about breaking unhealthy habits. You talk about it doesn’t just take 21 days to change a habit. Why is that?

In 2006, she tipped the scale at 247 pounds, heavier than, Mike Tyson, the once Heavy Weight Boxing Champion of the world! The hardest part was how she could not run and play with her three young sons due because her heart could not handle the stress.
For years Christina felt trapped by her weight. In one year, Christina took control of her health and shed over 113 pounds and 16 dress sizes. Her weight loss transformation was so dramatic that even her own family members did not recognize her. She has now kept the weight off for nearly 10 years and has easily maintained her weight with her healthy, balanced lifestyle. Motivated by her own struggle with her weight, Christina has gone onto earn her Masters in Nutrition and is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Naturalpathic Medicine I order to help others in their weight loss journey.

She has easily maintained her healthy weight for nearly a decade, while raising her three sons with her husband, Derek. Working as a Master Nutritionist, pursuing her doctorate in Naturalpathic Medicine and serving as Mrs. Arizona.
