EFT Welcomes The Nutrition Twins

Personal trainer and wellness coach Wess Murray interviews fitness professionals, wellness coaches, nutritionists and other health professionals to discuss all aspects of health and wellness. We'll also take your questions, and you might have the opportunity for live coaching right on the show!

This week EFT welcomes The Nutrition Twins.

Tammy Lakatos Shames and Elysse ("Lyssie") Lakatos share more than identical features; they share identical success in the competitive field of nutrition and wellness.

In 1997 Lyssie and Tammy (known as The Nutrition Twins®) co-founded Healthy Happenings Corporation whose mission is to better the health of its clients through improved nutrition and lifestyle/behavior modification.

Since relocating from Atlanta, Georgia, the twins have built a successful private practice in New York City servicing both individual and corporate clients such as AOL-Time Warner and Colgate Palmolive.

The Lakatos' approachable, common sense style has also earned them editorial success. The Twins co-authored a revolutionary nutrition book, Fire Up Your Metabolism: 9 Proven Principles for Burning Fat and Losing Weight Forever (Simon and Schuster).Their second book, The Secret to Skinny: How Salt Makes You Fat and the 4-Week Plan to Drop A Size & Get Healthier with Simple Low Sodium Swaps was released in September of 2009. In an exciting new venture with Day-Timer®, they have developed a Wellness Planner and a Weight Management Planner which they featured several times on QVC in early 2009. Tammy and Lyssie are the Sideline Reporters for The Weekend Workout, a syndicated radio show and podcast providing The Nutrition Twins Diet Tip of the Day.
