In recovering from COVID, is there anything special we should do?
Yes, spend time in the sun. Soak up your fruits and veggies with cold-pressed juices. In Atlanta we have Arden’s Garden, it’s a local favorite. My hairstylist, @QLovesYou gave me all the steps to keep myself healthy after getting sick this year.
What products are your summer musts for health and fitness?
Black seed oil definitely. I am not big on supplements, everything you need can be found in your diet.
What should we avoid doing when getting ready for summer fitness?
Avoid doubting yourself. You can get your health and fitness on track this year. Life and death is in the tongue and you can speak what you want in life.

Do waist trainers really work?
Waist trainers work for women who recently had babies via C-section or women who are looking to support their midsection as they get healthy. Yes, it works. However, they should be used under the guidance of a personal trainer if you desire to train your waist.
Are you a proponent of weight loss teas?
I believe that tea is just good for you, especially when you drink it hot. I encourage everyone reading this to drink more hot liquids during your day.
