The Heart of Yum • Perfect Health • Melanie C. LeFur, Chopra Center Certified Instructor

Welcome, and thank you for visiting The Heart of Yum, where our sincere desire is to make “yum” your mantra. How can we help you? We currently offer a compelling course entitled “Perfect Health,” which was designed by Deepak Chopra, M.D., as well as personalized, empathic lifestyle coaching. Both are designed to enthuse your health and enrich your quality of life.

Your life may be good already, yet chances are that there’s some form of “yuck” going on that you’d like to turn around. You are not alone.

The EPA has reported detectable levels of SSRI’s (anti-depressants) in our major metropolitan water supplies. That’s a lot of depression!
One-third of adult Americans are obese, and nearly 62 percent of women and 67 percent of men are overweight.
In spite of all the breakthroughs in pharmaceutical research there are still no drugs that cure chronic ailments like arthritis, IBS, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and asthma, not to mention vaccines for the top killers: heart disease and cancer.

We in Western society are living in the land of plenty, during an age of unparalleled medical and technological discoveries. Why, then are so many of us sickly, overweight, and/or depressed?

“Technology has provided us the luxury—or the liability—to ignore substantially nature’s rhythms of sleeping, waking, and nourishing ourselves. As many of us have lost connection with the natural forces in our environment, we have simultaneously lost our connection to the healing forces within us.”

Dr. David Simon, cofounder and medical director, The Chopra Center for Wellbeing

We’ve done the best we could with the state of awareness we have had. Yet simply put, we’ve been in the dark. We’ve inadvertently minimized the mind body connection, and we’ve suffered as a result.

When you’re equipped with the essential wisdom available at The Heart of Yum, you’ll begin to take control of your own health, happiness and peace of mind.

We look forward to helping you find your way and inspiring you to focus on what can be, rather than what is.
