I am a C.H.E.K. (Corrective Exercise and High-performance Kinesiology) certified Exercise Coach, a Nationally Certified Structural Integration Practitioner (realignment of the body through manual therapy), an ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) certified fitness nutrition practitioner, and an all around fitness motivator and champion of personal growth.

I am the founder of Rock Your Life, an online fitness studio with live streaming home workout classes, 30 day Challenges, healthy recipes, and an empowering women's fitness community. I’ve written multiple cookbooks, and nutrition and fitness plans that have been successfully used by thousands of people. You can browse my programs right here.

I work with people all over the world, helping them transform from the inside out!

I created The Betty Rocker to empower you to live your life as the best version of YOU – to help you develop more confidence, deepen your inner strength, and make choices that not only make you proud
of yourself but that you want to model to others.

I’m here to share the knowledge I have to help you make the best choices for yourself, so you can achieve the result you’re looking for while enjoying yourself along the way.

My passion for fitness and health developed after treating my body very badly for many years and choosing to educate myself and do the work to develop good practices based on science, my own intuition and a deep love and compassion for other people who were struggling as well.

That compassion comes from the compassion I had to grow in myself to own my own fears and overcome the inner resistance and negative self talk I struggled with for years. One of my daily affirmations is “I am compassionate with myself and others” because I believe that to be in integrity I must practice on myself the things I talk about and tell others.

Growing up, I had a LOT of questions about what it meant to be healthy.

I used to think it was the size of my clothes, or my weight on the scale.

But the more I focused on those things, the more problems I had!
My weight fluctuated a lot – and despite my very consistent, active lifestyle and eating what I thought was a healthy diet, I couldn’t figure out why the flab wouldn’t come off my belly, and why sometimes I’d be up as much as 20-30 pounds.

I developed some pretty bad alcohol, drug and food addictions that probably came in large part from the lack of control I felt over my body, and my deep insecurities about how I measured up in a world
that seemed to judge me for being either “smart enough” or “pretty enough” – but I didn’t give up.

I studied, I learned, and I conquered – and I’m here to share the ride and help you do the same thing!

This site can be one of the tools in your tool kit for strategies for the fit lifestyle, healthy and delicious recipes, workouts you can do anywhere, and support as you make lasting changes to your attitude, your body, and your life!

WHAT’S BEHIND THE NAME “BETTY ROCKER?”

Someone asked me recently why I named my company “Betty Rocker” and why I use that name.

Growing up I got called “Punk Rock Betty Crocker” a lot, but I actually chose “Betty Rocker” for a different reason.

A lot of people who follow me have the impression I’m like this “rock” of a person, lol that’s my name, right Betty “Rock”er – and a lot of the reason I chose this name for my brand is because I do want to be like a rock for the people I take care of and model to – but it’s also because “Betty” to me was always like the universal word for a cool girl, like “she’s a Betty” – and Rocker wasn’t for Rock n’ Roll, it was for being able to ROCK at life.

I wasn’t always very sure of myself, and I wanted to be. I wanted to learn more and be more confident and make the best choices I could.
Choosing “Betty Rocker” felt a lot like choosing a name ANYONE could be, any girl who wanted to feel like she could totally rock at anything she wanted to.

And it also felt like choosing something I could affirm to myself that I wanted to be true.

Like I wanted to BE a total rockstar in the kitchen, have a healthy body and live a life of integrity and purpose.

To me, every time I said that name, it felt like I was leaning into the best version of myself, and something that connected me to all the other women out there who were also striving to grow,transform, evolve, thrive and ROCK their life. We’re all Betty’s. We all can Rock.

So just know that while I may be THE Betty Rocker, YOU are a Betty Rocker too, and you can ROCK in any way you choose.

Why I love Fitness….

I love working out. It grounds me. I was a runner for years. I grew up doing gymnastics and ballet, and I enjoy a multitude of fitness styles. I love body weight exercises, Olympic lifting, circuit training, explosive cardio, kick boxing, and all kinds of exercise.
I was a structural alignment practitioner for many years, running a traveling business where I treated athletes, motorcycle racers and all kinds of active people. It was my racing clients who first started asking me for more a nutrition plan, and the amazing results they got that initially inspired me to write the Body Fuel System.

As a C.H.E.K. exercise coach, form and function are at the top of my list when it comes to putting challenging workouts together – and you’ll learn a lot about your body watching my workout videos and
integrating the form tips.

I’m really into Traveling…..

I’m a traveler at heart,born with the wanderlust and an innate curiosity and interest in people and cultures.

I was an anthropology major at Tufts, my first college stint, and tackled journalism and nutrition at FIU (Florida International University) several years later. I’ve lived and worked in Alaska, traveled all over the world – but my all time favorite place is yet to be determined!

I love Cooking….

I learned pretty traditional baking and cooking methods growing up – and we had a garden and shopped at the co-op so I got to appreciate the value of good quality food from an early age.

My primary focus at Tufts University (which I attended on af full academic scholarship – I felt very fortunate!) was nutrition in indigenous cultures.

I left college to travel and pursue hands-on learning, because I just could not seem to sit in the classroom for very long! I traveled around the world, observing, eating and interacting with people in
the Czech Republic, Croatia, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
When I returned to the US, I continued my education at Florida International University in Miami, studying communications, because I wanted to write and share my knowledge…but I got restless again
and moved to Colorado where I started studying science and biology to get more in depth into how the body and food interconnect.

My sort of crazy all over the place journey with my education was really influenced by what was going on in my personal life.

The more I learned about food and nutrition – especially in school – the more confused I got about how to eat! There seemed to be an insane amount of mixed messages about diet, food and how the body
works.

The subjects you’ll find on this blog (and more in depth in any of my healthy eating programs) cover the key concepts that I have studied, applied and that have had the greatest impact on creating healthy
habits and overall sustainable fitness.

I never thought I’d write a book about healthy eating, but after Whole Foods market contacted me a year into my blog because a store employee credited me for her remarkable weight loss (she lost 50
pounds), I got really serious about learning and sharing the concepts I had been applying to my cooking that had made such an impact on my own health.

Bob Proctor is a towering figure wherever the mention of self help comes into discussion. In 1973, he founded his company and has been celebrated ever since. Being an entrepreneur, a teacher, a writer, a
business consultant and counselor, the man is famous for his motivational speeches on how to be a better version of you. He has been on his mission to advise people to strategize their ideas in such a way that they would be able to create extravagantly glamorous and fulfilling lives for themselves for more than 40 years now.

Reading classic books by people like Earl Nightingale, Wallace D. Wattles and Napoleon Hill has inspired him to have developed firm ideas and concepts about how one should live life in order to be fully prosperous in whatever it is that he wishes to accomplishes, and more importantly, as Proctor himself places, to live a luxurious life.

He assists people take a move beyond the place on which they are hoping to go and in doing so, recognize their true potential and it is with this great inspirational spirit that the man has gained so
much appeal.

Early life

When Proctor was born in Ontario in Canada, he was not who he thought he would be today. By the age of 26, he was a high school dropout, was having a great deal of difficulty in finding a job and was unclear of what his future would be like.

It was then that nature recognized his true potential and he found himself reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and this book, which had inspired a great many people before him, became the turning
point of his life as well which from then on took off towards an upward spiral unwilling to come down.

He started working in many different companies around the world over the next twelve months where he offered services to clean and opened up his own company as well. In order to get something to learn,
he decided to join Nightingale-Conant from where he received firsthand tutoring by the infamous Earl Nightingale.

Meeting Earl Nightingale

In order to receive mentoring by Earl Nightingale, Proctor moved to Chicago where the time he spent with Nightingale yielded him much inspiration and shaped him to be a better person in general. The
coaching that he received changed his life forever and made him greatly prosperous.

He climbed ranks quickly at the Nightingale-Conant and soon became Vice President of Sales. As the organization that he was working with Nightingale in was all about teaching personal growth and
development, Proctor got the idea that he should open up his own seminar company to deliver motivational lectures on the subject of self help to others.

So from then on, Bob Proctor has been making efforts to get people to recognize their inner selves and then excel at that which they wish to do. His company brought many students from the US and Canada
who soon started to climb up in their lives. Currently, Bob also travels around the world, inspiring people on his journeys with all the speeches that he makes in his seminars.

It's not about money philosophy

While Proctor has firm belief that everyone should live a lush life full of pomp and luxury, he explains that his work is not about money philosophy solely. He also attempts to bring people to be better in
moral and ethical aspects of their personality so that everyone would understand the ranks of priorities and not simply run on a rat chase after monetary benefits solely because that would only further
materialize the society. He further admits that if one concentrates on genuinely helping people the money will come automatically and there is no need to worry about them at all.

How mind works

Bob has a very interesting idea about how the human mind works and he places emphasis on how, in order to be successful, one must understand this. He differentiates between the conscious mind and the
subconscious mind and how our capabilities lie in different allocations of both of these fields. He greatly stresses on how in order to achieve success, one must foremost always have a positive attitude towards life.

Secondly, he establishes that one should use their creativity and imagination as that is where the individuality hence uniqueness lies. He also enhances the importance of focus by listing it as one of the prerequisites for any achievement. Most importantly, he talks about self belief and how it is gravely important for every person to realize and acknowledge their self worth and capabilities and how mental hunts in order to achieve this are beneficial.

Achievements

Bob instilled his concept of how elitism lies within us all and is waiting to be found in his bestselling book You Were Born Rich and has gained much following worldwide with his other works including Mission in Commission, The Goal Achiever, The Winner's Image, The Recruiting Puzzle, The Success Puzzle, The Success Series and Being the Very Best.

He also worked with Michael Beckwith and Jack Canfield, authors of The Secret and Chicken Soup for the Soul respectively in order to create a course based on the Science of getting Rich program.
In his eminent interview with Larry King, Bob Proctor explained the ideas of self development in his perspective, bringing into light his explanation on how one should be on the quest to recognize his best
self and to polish that version and take it with him on the road to success. He also talked about how creativity and imagination plays a significant impact in becoming happy and achieving incredible results
in all facets of life.

Starred in The Secret movie

The DVD presentation of The Secret, alongside the wonderfully motivational book, has been colossal.

Both of these could not have been possible without Bob Proctor due to his role in the contributor of the book and also a starring actor in the movie.

Rhonda Byrne, the director, casted Bob out of respect for him as a teacher and believed that no one else could do the role better. Bob is also one of the biggest experts on the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration that the world has ever known.

Summary

Bob Proctor is one of the most influential figures in the field of self development that the world speaks of. Since the 1970s, he has been playing his role in getting people to find belief in them and although he had a rough start in his early days, he found inspiration from napoleon Hill and with the coaching of Earl Nightingale, became one of the best motivational speakers to have existed.

His ability to explain clearly how mind works is very hard to match and makes him one of the best experts in the area.

His bestselling book You Were Born Rich carries his beliefs about how we all contain potential and that everyone deserves to and should try to live a lush and pleasurable life.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso is a Buddhist monk and the spiritual leader of Tibet. He was born on 6 July 1935, to a farming family, in a small hamlet located in Taktser, Amdo, northeastern Tibet. At the age of two, the child, then named Lhamo
Dhondup, was recognized as the reincarnation of the previous 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso.

The Dalai Lamas are believed to be manifestations of Avalokiteshvara or Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion and the patron saint of Tibet. Bodhisattvas are realized beings inspired by a wish to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings, who have
vowed to be reborn in the world to help humanity.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a man of peace. In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He has consistently advocated policies of non-violence, even in the face of extreme aggression. He also became the first
Nobel Laureate to be recognized for his concern for global environmental problems.

His Holiness has visited more than 67 countries over 6 continents. He has gotten more than 150 awards, honorary doctorates, prizes, etc., in recognition of his message of peace, non- violence, inter-religious understanding, universal responsibility and compassion. He has also authored or co-authored more than 110 books.
His Holiness has held discussions with leaders of various religions and took part in many events fostering inter-religious harmony and understanding.

Since the mid-1980s, His Holiness has engaged in a dialogue with modern scientists, mainly in the fields of psychology, neurobiology, quantum physics and cosmology. This has led to a historic collaboration between Buddhist monks and world-renowned scientists in trying to aid people achieve peace of mind. It has as well lead to the addition of modern science to the traditional curriculum of Tibetan monastic institutions re-established in exile..

As a teenager she became chronically sick and could not apply for medical school as an outcome and so she had to give up her long cherished dream of being a homeopathic doctor. There were no homeopathic schools that accepted high school graduates as students at the time and she figured it were for the better because she had more faith in the mixture of conventional and homeopathic medicine anyway. Ingefleur went on to study Public Administration and worked in Brussels for Dutch regional representatives. After receiving her Masters degree in European Studies, the global economy had suffered a lot under the economic crisis and the job market was very tight, not to mention that her illness had developed to the point that she really could not work anymore anyway.

That is when her long lost dream began to whisper in her ear again. Was there not a way to study medicine after all and become a homeopathic family practitioner? It kept occupying her mind but there was no way for her to study medicine anywhere in Europe. However,
then the Center of Homeopathic Education (CHE) caught her eye which had both a Bachelors accredited course in homeopathy which included a decent basis in anatomy and physiology. Within a couple of months she moved to London and began the course.

Because she has always loved children, Ingefleur specializes in helping couples conceive healthy babies, helping women enjoy their pregnancy by resolving small or difficult issues, and helping mothers and babies flourish in the first years after birth. Today she gets to lose herself in homeopathy every day. Ingefleur loves connecting with her patients daily and empowering them to take their health back into their own hands.

Tara Brach combines Western psychology and Eastern spiritual practices, mindful attention to within, and a complete, compassionate engagement with the world. The outcome is a distinctive voice in Western Buddhism, one that gives a wise and caring approach to freeing ourselves and society from suffering.

As an undergraduate at Clark University, Tara pursued a double major in psychology and political science. At that time, she as well started learning about yoga and exploring Eastern approaches to transformation within. After college, she lived for ten years in an ashram—a
spiritual community—where she practiced and taught both yoga and concentrative meditation. When she left the ashram and attended her first Buddhist Insight Meditation retreat, led by Joseph Goldstein, she realized she was home. “I had found wisdom teachings and practices that train the heart and mind in unconditional and loving presence,” she says.

“I knew that this was a path of true freedom.”

Then, Tara earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Fielding Institute, with a dissertation exploring meditation as a therapeutic modality in treating addiction. She went on to complete a five-year Buddhist teacher training program at the Spirit Rock Meditation
Center. Working as both a psychotherapist and a meditation teacher, she naturally blended these two powerful traditions—introducing meditation to her therapy clients and sharing western psychological insights with meditation students. This combination has evolved, in more recent years, into Tara’s groundbreaking work in training psychotherapists to integrate mindfulness strategies into their clinical work.

In 1998, Tara founded the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC (IMCW), which is now one of the largest and most dynamic non-residential meditation centers in the United States. She gives presentations, teaches classes, offers workshops, and leads silent meditation retreats at IMCW and at conferences and retreat centers in the United States
and Europe. Tara’s podcast gets more than 1.5 million downloads each month. Her themes reveal the possibility of emotional healing and spiritual awakening through mindful, loving awareness as well as the alleviation of suffering in the larger world by practicing compassion
in action. She has encouraged attempts to bring principles and practices of mindfulness to issues of racial injustice, equity and inclusivity; peace; environmental sustainability, as well as to prisons and schools.

Pema Chodron taught in elementary school for many years in New Mexico and California.

Pema traveled to the French Alps and encountered Lama Chime Rinpoche, with whom she studied for a few years. She became a nun in 1974 while studying with Lama Chime in London. His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa came to England at that time, and Pema received her ordination from him.

Pema first met her root teacher, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, in 1972. Lama Chime inspired her to work with Rinpoche, and it was with him that she finally made her most profound connection, studying with him from 1974 until his death in 1987. At the request of the Sixteenth Karmapa, she got the full monastic ordination in the Chinese lineage of Buddhism in 1981 in Hong Kong.

Pema served as the director of Karma Dzong, in Boulder, until moving in 1984 to rural Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to lead Gampo Abbey. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche asked her to work towards the establishment of a monastery for western monks and nuns.

Now Pema teaches in the United States and Canada and plans for an increased amount of time in solitary retreat under the guidance of Venerable Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche.

Pema is interested in helping establish the monastic tradition in the West, as well in keeping up her work with Buddhists of all traditions, sharing ideas and teachings. She has written
several books: “The Wisdom of No Escape”, “Start Where You Are”, “When Things Fall Apart”, “The Places that Scare You”, “No Time to Lose” and “Practicing Peace in Times of War”, and most recently, “Smile at Fear”.
