Debra Ross' Story

I’m Debra Ross, and I’m 46 years old. I have been a personal trainer for over 24 years. I was diagnosed with MS when I was 25 years old. The doctors told me that I had probably had it since the age of 9. Those of you who know me, know the struggles that I experienced all throughout my school years, and at age 25 I finally knew what all the struggles were all about. There were many people around me who took that news as though it was my death warrant, but not me. I used that information to learn — and I learned plenty!

One of the things I learned first was the importance of water, and I didn't hear it from my neurologist. I also began to see the importance of being positive, and I worked very hard changing negative situations into positive ones. If you were to ask someone today who knows me well, they would say that I can find the good in anything.

Then I learned the importance of oxygen, and how we need to have enough oxygen in our system for our body to function properly. Our body can heal itself when given the proper tools, whatever those tools may be.

Now I'm sure you are saying, “What about nutrition?” Well, for me that was number four — the other three were more important.

I took all that information and developed a unique exercise technique/program as well as a breathing technique, all of which I have used to help other people overcome their obstacles in life, whatever they may be. I’ve written a book about this, called OxyFlex, which is available on Amazon.

Your health and wellness is not just about eating right and exercising; it is so much more than that. Everything that you do throughout your day affects your health, either in a positive way or a negative way.
