This hour, Suzanne is joined by Tracy Cromwell, a nutritionist and fitness expert who works with seniors, to talk about the connection between physical and emotional wellness, part of Answers for Elders' Vitality Revolution podcast series sponsored by Humana. Tracy is the author of Your Personal Journey with Food: A Roadmap for the Confused and Frustrated Dieter.

Tracy shares her health journey. Being told by her doctor in 2006 that she was pre-diabetic and headed towards a future with Type 2 Diabetes, Tracy had to start making better lifestyle choices. A Yo-Yo dieter most of her life, the news was frustrating but put her on her path to wellness. Today, Tracy is healthy and strong, taking on century bike rides, eating in a way that supports her body, and finally feeling good in her skin. Tracy's health journey inspired her to go back to school and get trained in both Integrative Health Coaching and Personal Training. She is certified with The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Precision Nutrition, and the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

If you can work with your doctor and change your lifestyle so you don't have to take as many medications, she was given that option. It wasn't easy, but she did it.

Tracy wrote Your Personal Journey with Food: A Roadmap for the Confused and Frustrated Dieter. She is also an international best-selling co-author of ''One Crazy Broccoli,'' ''My Body is Smarter Than My Disease!'' and ''What's Left to Eat''.
