title: Your Body: An Owner's Manual (Volume 1)
author: Mr. Jeff Cordeiro
description: My name is Jeff Cordeiro and I am no Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is exactly why you should take my word on health. I am not built like a tank  more like a sports car  high performance but not very durable. About a year after my father died, the pain in my knees was so severe that I almost couldnt get up from my desk chair. After a doctors visit, blood tests and MRI, I learned I was overweight, had high cholesterol and a torn meniscus in my left knee. The doctor wanted to put me on statins. Having seen what medications had done for or to my father, I refused the drugs and asked for alternatives. After about 5 minutes of back and forth, the doctor gave me a flyer on a low cholesterol diet. This made sense. I had higher levels of cholesterol in my body, so less in my food should work. After 60 days of strictly adhering to each point in the diet, I returned for a new blood test. I got a big change. My cholesterol shot up. At that point, any remaining hope I had that the medical industry knew how to get me healthy went right out the window. My own research then led me to a low carb diet. Lo and behold, after two months, my bad cholesterol went down, my good cholesterol went up and the excess weight was coming off. Now, after 20 years of research, trial and error, I have discovered the holy grail of nutrition and exercise. Personally, I have lost 60 lbs. of fat, gained 10 lbs. of muscle, optimized my cholesterol ratios, eliminated my arthritis, scoliosis, neck and knee pain and, at 59, I am in the best shape of my life; stronger and more fit than when I played football or ran track. My journey inspired me to become a personal trainer to help others improve their health and avoid the maze of misinformation that leads so many to poor health. I am a walking talking meta-analysis. Many things in my books may be contrary to what youve heard before but that is exactly why my methods work. Ive helped clients who were obese, had lupus, MS, arthritis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, orthostatic hypotension, hyper and hypo thyroid, diabetes and more. Ive helped people add weight and train for athletic competitions. If you provide your body with what it needs, it will provide you with a greater quality of life for decades longer. Daily choices can either add up to improve health or lose health. Jeff Cordeiro is a certified personal trainer, author of YOUR BODY, creator of The Rejuvenator Reset and inventor of the King TUT exercise methodology.
