The Saguil Approach
• The Screen• Listen to your Inner Doctor• Re-start an Exercise Program• Get Nutrition Education• Choosing a daily supplement• Be Ready to “Hit the Wall”
(all blogs available online)
The Screen
• Need a clean bill of health for moderate to extreme exercise
• Need to make sure the medicine wont interfere with the exercise (BB pulse, histamine bike, diuretic Bikram)
• A good doc will have a repertoire of people that help change lives
• May need to prevent injury first (PT, pulm tx, couchtime)

Listen to Your Inner Doctor
• No money - No honey (ok to start out slow/mild)
• If provider/healer/trainer doesn’t make sense, question; if they hurt you….RUN AWAY!!!
• Sculpt a lifestyle as you go (feedback to the 3rd party is imperative)

Re-Starting your Exercise Program Design on a Dime
• Know pain, Know gain (watch for push/crash)• Think outside your box with a 3rd party• List what you have done in the last 10 years
with cost, copays, visits to IC/ER, presciption meds, medical premiums
• List price for an exercise physiologist (4 weeks 2xweek)
