Kids Journey to YoPower for Life™
An Open Letter to Health- Conscious Parents
Dear Parent,
Congratulations! Heather, the YoMedics™ team and I commend you for taking action to improve the health of your child. Your participating in YoMedics™ Kids Journey to YoPower for Life will start your child on the path to health. If the childhood obesity epidemic continues at its current rate, it is projected that this will be the first generation of children to have a shorter lifespan than their parents. It is pivotal that we take action now to stop this current health crisis.
As you and your child proceed through this program you will be given the tools needed to educate your family on the importance and benefits of maintaining optimal weight, proper nutrition, exercise and positive mental attitude. YoMedics™ does not believe in DIET’s. We believe that healthy lifestyle choices are what is needed to improve the health and future of our children. The knowledge your child develops will allow them to continue through life with a powerful alliance, the gift of health!
Along this incredible journey, you will also find empowering messages encouraging and modeling character development for your child. Each YoMedics™ character will guide you and your child through an educational journey to learn about medical risks, proper nutrition, exercise and having a positive attitude. They will discuss and model key character qualities such as commitment, responsibility and respect. In addition, the simple daily tracking process of using YoMedics™ Sunburst teaches children to be personally responsible and accountable for their choices in a fun and creative format. Kids learn by example and practice!
You will encounter some good days and bad days. Stay strong. Changes do not occur overnight. During these “trying days” remember your reason for participating in this program. Enriching your lives with the benefits of improved wellness and character development are worth the effort. Remember you are doing this to improve your child’s LIFE! The long-term benefits of optimal weight, nutrition and personal development are even more significant than the short-term benefits.
Again, congratulations on your commitment and enjoy your family Journey to YoPower for Life.
Sincerely,
Heather Quillen, Co-Founder/Creative Director
Lisa R. Ramey, D.O., Co-founder/Medical Director
