W-Guest #2 - Dawn



Hello everyone! I'm Dawn Dillard, a Beachbody Coach and TurboKick instructor certified. I was in almost every sport possible growing up, but somehow lost my way in college. After having kids and with the increase of obesity in America, I became progressively concerned about the foods we eat and getting back into a regular workout schedule. I was very lucky to find Beachbody. My journey started with drinking Shakeology and doing Beachbody’s P90X home workout. Now, two years after finding Beachbody: I am a Beachbody Coach, have done numerous Beachbody home workout programs, completed their 21 Day Ultimate Reset (clean eating detox), have become TurboKick instructor certified, and play soccer. I can now say that I am the fittest I have been in my adult life, all due to Beachbody. I also have a great network of Beachbody and Facebook friends that love to share their knowledge on clean eating and working out. So I love what I do, and my health and life is better for it! And no matter where you are located, I would love to help you too! Please don’t hesitate to contact me for questions or free advice. Beachbody is focused on getting everyone healthy and ending the trend of obesity. See more information on Beachbody below.

When: The Website began on 1/7/2010.

Why: I started sharing recipes with friends and family and the easiest way to do this was through the internet so I created a website called www.superchargedfood.com to enable my friends to find the recipes whenever they needed them. The website became more and more popular and then friends of friends were sharing the recipes and it just grew from there.

The principal behind Supercharged Food is to use food as medicine to heal the body at cellular level. This is done by finding the foods that work for you. If you have food intolerances or allergies - have tests or do a food elimination diet to find out what those foods are and avoid them as they cause inflammation and an immune response in the body. Supercharged Food is about eating as healthily as possible, banishing fatigue, providing more energy and bringing out the best in you. Keeping processed foods to a minimum and combining nutrient rich super-foods into your diet helps to supercharge your health.

W-Guest #1 - Julia





Who: Julia

Where: Melbourne - Eastern Suburbs :: Australia

What: I have a double degree - Bachelor of Arts majoring in Drama & Media and a Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary). I take dance classes in a variety of styles. I enjoy going to the theatre, concerts, the beach, walking, tennis, skiing and spending time with family and friends.
I am a Secondary School Teacher, Year Level Coordinator, the Performing Arts Coordinator and Director of the School Musical Productions. I teach Drama, Dance, Media and Pastoral Care which is like a wellbeing type course. I have also taught Health. In the classroom these subjects look at developing the creative mind, the development of oneself, intra-personal and inter-personal skills, learning to communicate and express yourself, developing a range of skills for life. As Drama and Dance are practical subjects, theory and techniques are covered in looking after the body, voice and nutrition. The students explore issues related to all facets of life - social, political, historical and create performance pieces based on themes or issues, which make points or raise questions for the audience.
Directing the musical productions gives the teenagers confidence, learn performance skills, work in a team, take direction & make new friends. It's a very important part of the experience!
As a year level coordinator I have to work in a team supporting the sub-school and am responsible for carrying out duties such as uniform, attendance, the progress of the student in their subjects for the year levels I'm responsible for. There is an emphasis on the wellbeing/welfare of the students and I liaise with the Wellbeing/Welfare coordinator if students are at risk.

When: Began teaching in 2001.

Why: I teach because I am passionate about my subjects and passing on the knowledge they provide, helping develop young people to have creative minds and develop life long skills. I especially like to see young people develop confidence in themselves.
