Comic Relief/Speaker's bureau topics

Our assessment – You need some comic relief…Now!  Minky…The Joking Fitness Nurse & Health Info-tainer has some good news for you!  Each comedic lesson is on a health topic we feel that affects mothers & grandmothers in our P.I.P. and target market.  Here are samples of our topics. These topics also (for a fee) can be delivered at your location for entertainment and education for your group.  Fee depends on number of people, AV equipment available, length of time (usually 50 min.-1.5 hrs.), and location of delivery.  Laughter guaranteed!:

• Why is Everything I Want to do BAD for Me?  Very Popular! Please see home page. 60-minute minimum.
• You must be healthy to lose weight, not lose weight to be healthy  How to get healthy first by preparing and eating politically incorrect meals and doing politically incorrect exercise; and then start to feel great and lose weight fast while you are feeling healthy!
• You are what you eat? Funny, you don’t look like a Slim Jim” – about Energy Up! Eating crap and feeling like crap. How to let go of eating Twix bars and coffee for breakfast, stop skipping meals, and keeping your blood sugars stable.
• Protein-Powdered  Donuts (Nutraceuticals)– How, as a nation, we're just getting in nutrients any way we can. Very expensive.  And we're paying for man-made processed ingredients; NOT real food! Traditional eating is cheaper!  Your body craves real food.
• The Seduction of Spot Reduction – If you’ve ever asked yourself or anybody else, “How do I get rid of this----?” Then you definitely don’t want to miss this!
• White Elephant Party - This creates giving freely and feeling good about it.  Giving each other used or new, but never used, health & wellness items/gifts.  They can be an old gimmick, a diet book, a massager, a video. Funny! (House party/gathering)
• Are you a sinker or a stinker? – Digestive problems that start to get worse in our 40’s.  You know the culprits: bloat, gas, GERD, constipation, diarrhea. Scented candles, Beano and Lact-aid available at this session.
• “3 Men & a Minky” – Is living with men making you fat?
• “I’ll Have Some Lobster With My Butter” – Stop fighting your 35-55 y.o. female fat cells & satisfy your cravings with control!
• “10 lbs. in a 5 lb. bag” – I sure hope you know how to sew; ‘cause that button on your blouse is ‘bout to blow! Good.  Don’t buy bigger clothes. Get a smaller waist! Strategies to get you going and keep you on track.
• ‘Your Manopause’ - This has less to do with ‘his hormones’ and more to do with your curiosity.  This information can be anything from a tips about dating, to settling power struggles, meeting Mr. Right online, Q & A  sessions; example question:  “How many calories you think you burn during sex?” If your married more than a year or have kids, you better get on the treadmill. 
• “Don’t hate me ‘cause I exercise” – Staying motivated to exercise has a lot to do with getting paid to do it. Quit your job and become a kickboxing instructor. Or learn ways to squeeze it in. Some exercise (consistently) is better than none. Workable exercise plans for your body type and your lifestyle.  Just 10 minutes a day and you can be hated too!
• Stressed Out & Loving It – One nurse told me that people love being stressed out that’s why they stay that way. Is she right?  Anecdotes and stories that get you laughing. And laughing improves your stress resistance immediately!  Let’s give it a shot!
• Dine with Deb – We actually meet at a restaurant with our Registered Dietitian Extraordinare (R.D.E.) and she give us tips on what and how to order at your favorite restaurants. (2-month advanced scheduling needed)
• Don’t eat cottage cheese! If you want to lose weight. Why? ‘Cause I only see fat people eating it! Remember…all traditional foods can fit.  No reason to order the ‘diet plate’ anymore. Unless you actually like it. What are traditional foods?  Foods that your grandmother and great-grandmother cooked and ate. Sample meal plans/recipes.
• Trashy Minky Party – We ask you to bring in your ‘clean trash’ (the containers/packages of food) for the month. We examine it (the package's ingredient list 1st, the nutrition facts 2nd) and you re-learn what some other choices might have been better to buy/bring into your kitchens for your best Curve-It-Down results.  Best done at a house party/gathering.
