About Chandra

I'm a non-profit professional, a late-in-life health buff, and online marketer. For the past couple of decades, I wanted to save the world. Then I decided to save myself first. I've begun to transform myself from an overweight, out-of-shape, chronically tired middle-aged lady into an energetic, fit woman who has rediscovered her youth. Now I'm dedicated to helping others become the best they can be by transforming their health through cutting edge products, and their finances through creative money-making strategies. .
