ABOUT THE FOUNDER OF LIVING DISEASE FREE. COM
Editor and founder of LivingDiseaseFree.com Tony Long knows first hand what it means to live with chronic disease. While in his mid 30′s, he was diagnosed with severe cardiovascular disease and later survived a near fatal heart condition.

Shortly after recovering from heart surgery, Tony made the decision to be healthy again and became determined to cure himself of his heart disease. After intense study and research of chronic diseases, naturopathic medicine and organic foods, Tony found the key for his cure and in less than two years after nearly dying, became free of his chronic disease.

Afterwards, Tony became an strong activist in the fight against chronic diseases. Through his own experience, the experiences of others, and the more than 15 years of dedicated self-study, research, classes, seminars, and conferences, Tony has a complete understanding of what causes chronic diseases in today’s modern, real world and why the rate of these diseases are so high among Americans. Tony believes that, “Living healthy and free from disease in the America we live in today is not as easy as it once was because our diet, our food, our environment, and our lifestyles have changed in ways that are no longer conducive to good health.”

Since overcoming his chronic disease, Tony has worked as both a personal fitness trainer and health consultant, helping others to become healthy and stay healthy, and has written many articles on nutrition, fitness, and living free from chronic diseases. He is a resident expert in the field of alternative and natural health on the popular self-help website selfgrowth.com along with other well known names such as Andrew Weil, Bill Phillips, Denise Austin, and Kathy Smith.

Because he wants to continue to share the truths about disease, health, and natural healing, Tony founded LivingDiseaseFree.com, an online source of news and information about why chronic disease has become so prevalent in the United States today and what you can do to protect you and your family in today’s modern America.

Born and raised on the coast of southeastern North Carolina, Tony was nominated for scholarships in both physics and chemistry from East Carolina University, but instead decided to further his education at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where he studied biology.

She is an accomplished power lifter having set numerous records and has held several titles. Her greatest accomplishment came in 2002 when the U.S. Power lifting Federation declared her the world’s all-time 2nd best bench press lifter for her weight class.

Becky’s journey started in the year 2000. After settling into a sedentary lifestyle and gaining about 10 pounds a year for several years, she decided to join a local gym. There, she met Phil Harrington, then chairman of the U.S. Power lifting Federation. “I learned a lot from Phil about good, sound nutrition and exercise and it wasn’t long before I noticed how much better I felt.” Through hard work and dedication, Becky went from 165 pounds to a lean 120 in just six months!

Shortly thereafter, she began competing and broke the North Carolina state bench press record on her first attempt. “Little did I know that joining that gym would lead to power-lifting records and a whole new career and lifestyle, in health, organic nutrition, and nutritional products”.
