Motivation, The Difference Between the Couch and the Olympics
Anyone following the Olympics? I’m catching highlights here and there. Really wish I was watching more, but phew by the time the kids are down, fed animals, picked-up the house and prepped for the next day, I’m wiped out. However, the little bits I see reminds me of the dedication they put forward for 4 years for this one shot to be named the best of the best.
Life sometimes takes over…
Hi Everyone!
Well, I’m sure everyone is wondering exactly what happened to us. Not to fear, life just caught us a little bit and we’re getting ourselves on track. I am handling life as single mommy, work full-time and TruPrevention. Mandy is soon to be mommy of 2 and we’re anxiously counting down the days until we get to meet their little boy. Dr. Edwards is in transition in his work. So needless to say, sometimes life takes over and we just have to flex with it.
However, we may not be recently consistent, but we are definitely committed to TruPrevention. So, you’ll start seeing the information flowing again! Thank you for keeping with us. Our passion to “share the health” remains strong!
WooHoo…TruPrevention’s New Addition…Dr. Ivan Edwards!

Hi Everyone!
I am so excited to introduce you to our newest edition to the team, Dr. Ivan Edwards! He is a board certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialists (the fancy dancy name is a Physiatrist) that has interest in electrodiagnostics, musculoskeletal medicine and minimally invasive pain management. Now that’s a mouthful…bottom line, this guy looks at all of you “medically, socially, emotionally and vocationally” (to quote the AAPM&R website) and treats accordingly. He also has a deep interest in overall health and wellness.
I met him during my time as a Air Force Reserve nurse working at Lackland AFB here in San Antonio. He’s is one of the most diverse and interesting people I have met.Â

Hey Everyone!
We know it’s been pretty quiet here….but we haven’t run away. Ohhhh noooo…we’re just getting started! Right now, we are just working on developing TruPrevention into a future business, among keep up with our daily crazy lives. Mandy is in the middle of moving (so excited for her) and we are both keeping up with families and full time work….so needless to say we would like a couple extra hours in the day to catch up with everything. I did update the Handy Information and Recipe sections recently. So, please check it out.
As far as the business, we are just finishing the TruPrevention Logo. A HUGE thank you to Cassie Rangel! This gal has some serious talent. She has been working with me on the logo for the last couple months and has done a wonderful job of taking my woeful descriptions and turning them into a visible concept. Keep an eye out….you’ll see this girls work in a gallery one day!
So, thank you for you patience and understanding. We might be a bit slow on the information download over the next month, but don’t despair it will pick back up.

Okay, tomorrow is a major milestone for the Hoffmeyer clan. Our son starts kindergarten! I can assure you that he is way more ready than I am…still scratching my head on where the last 5 1/2 years went.
Beware What’s In Your Drink…
As a parent and a dietitian one area that greatly concerns me is the amount of sugar-sweetened beverages that our culture, and children in particular, are consuming. I think most parents recognize that sodas contain a lot of sugar and are beverages that kids should only be consuming on special occasions. However, I think many parents are misguided into believing that juice drinks are a necessary and healthy part of a child’s diet.
Welcome to the Truprevention Blog!
I’m your everyday working mom…that has a passion for health. I’ve started this blog to share my knowledge, search for answers and maybe even create an awareness and start a bit of a societal movement. But first, let me give you a little background on how this blog came to fruition.
