Introduction	We all have the good and the bad in our genetic makeup. We give credit to good genetics when it includes those features that we are proud of, those traits that make us successful and confident. Then, with bad genetics, we start pointing fingers at our elder ones, who have obviously caused our perfections to go amiss. Well, it's my turn. So, I will now do my own finger pointing. From my dad, I've started having cardiac "concerns" that include a history of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and from my mother..."My Natural Girlish Figure" (which Mom loved to call "the Applebaum stomach"). This is my journey to thwart bypass surgery and diabetes, both of which happened to my parents. My journey includes several lifestyle transformations with the goal of becoming a more holistic person. And, although it's hard to see, I'm eating a piece of cauliflower in my profile pic.
