AUTHOR DEDICATION
I would like to dedicate this book to my wonderful mother who has always been there for me with love, support, guidance and a belief that something great is always on the other side of every challenge. Without her, I would not have learned what Ive learned and be both living forever young and helping others around the world to be doing the same.
Its been the greatest gift to be able to get my Mum to be living forever young too. There was a time when she was overweight, with high cholesterol, low blood pressure, having a lot of operations and not even that mobile, never mind feeling up to many adventures in life. And now shes got a dog that she walks every day, she swims about 100 lengths a day, and in the past 18 months alone shes been walking with lions, riding elephants and swimming with dolphins.
As somebody in her 70s, she is absolute proof that its never too late to start your journey to living forever young. Mum, I love you so much.

FOREWORD
I first met my friend Skip in London at an event with Dr John D Martini and Dr David Hamilton, and I saw him energize an audience like very few people can do. This is a gift not many share and I knew he would go on to do great work around the world.
We got to know each other and bonded like great brothers. Like myself, he has dedicated his life to making a difference and helping people wherever he goes.
Skip is really authentic and amazing, truly speaking from his heart, so I encourage you to check out the living forever young lifestyle that he has developed and encapsulated within this book. We call him The Miracle Man because he has come back from excruciating defeat all the way to becoming a champion several times in his life. When someone bounces back like this, they can teach you things they have learned on their journey that you can normally only learn by walking that path yourself.
Skip walks his talk, he is a lot of fun and, by applying the techniques contained within this book, he will leave you with an empowering vision and feeling in your body unlike anything youre likely to have experienced before.
Although he often works with celebrities and top CEOs, what he is sharing are forgotten truths that will be invaluable to absolutely anyone, as they are insights into many areas of life that are needed more than ever in todays busy modern world.
I love hanging out with him, we have shared many adventures together and I really feel like its worth experiencing some of his magic. He is a world-class coach and I have no doubt that by reading this book, you will learn things about yourself, life and others that will open you up to a lifestyle where you can reap the many varied benefits of truly living forever young, from experiencing more joy in your every-day experiences to feeling generally more energetic, lighter and full of zest for life.
Skip is the real deal and Im excited for you that you have this book to read because it holds many powerful secrets that you can unlock and bring into your life. And if you ever get the chance to go to one of his live events, then youll be in for an even bigger treat because youll experience his magic at an even deeper level.
Im signing this off from Sacred Precincts in Hawaii, and Im wishing you the best day ever,

INTRODUCTION
THE 10 SECRETS TO
LIVING FOREVER YOUNG
Dear Friend
Congratulations on purchasing this book that I believe holds secrets that will greatly enrich your life. If you follow my suggestions, by the time you finish reading youll be feeling and looking remarkably younger, and enjoying a more focused, energized life.
What qualifies me to know all this? In short, conquering challenge. I have been a top-level gymnast and now work around the world as a successful holistic health coach and motivational speaker but, not that long ago, I faced challenges in my life that I thought would break me. However, through digging deep, Ive learned that if I face my challenges and dont back away from them and even learn to recognize them as disguised gifts of empowerment I can emerge stronger, better, healthier and with even more energy.
When I was a young kid I fell into a coma with pneumonia. I was covered with eczema, suffered chronic asthma and chest infections, and was nearly always on medication. Doctors told me that I shouldnt do any exercise, because I kept having asthma attacks, but a family friend who was also asthmatic and was a gymnastics coach disagreed. His mum ran a swimming club and they both firmly believed in the benefits of exercise, at the appropriate level, to improve anyones health. They had seen and experienced this first hand on so many occasions. On their advice I started basic swimming and gymnastics, and very quickly the worst of my problems fell away. I found myself doing gymnastics everywhere I went. I didnt have that much natural talent compared with some of the others kids, but being active in this way made me feel really good, so I kept doing it. I started competing and, before long, I started to get better, so much so that my coaches suggested that I could go on to compete at the very highest level. My life was amazing. Then, when I was 11, my mother left my father for my gymnastics coach and I wasnt allowed to do gymnastics anymore.
