Angela at 40-something years old and at 13% body fat.November 1, 2007. The Body Sculptress loves complete health and fitness! It's not enough to simply exercise. In fact, sometimes exercise is exactly what you DON'T need! What you eat, how you sleep, what you drink, the supplements you take, the environment you work and live in and more are all intricately involved in producing your state of natural health. Angela has been a closet naturopath for years, but after developing total exhaustion in 2007, officially enrolled in the Clayton College of Natural Health to pursue a second master's degree...this time as a Doctor of Naturopathy.

As a result of her own stressful lifestyle, yes, exercise included, she developed completely debilitating chronic fatigue -- fatigue so complete that even uttering simple sentences was too much at times, and walking was reduced to shuffling. Her 100% recovery, led by the in-depth study of natural medicine and nutritional healing, has enabled her to help others regain vibrant energy in their own lives.

By God's amazing grace, her professional health and fitness practice leads her to many others experiencing some level of chronic fatigue and metabolic meltdown, and many others have benefitted from her depth of knowledge. If you are extremely tired all of the time and are in need of help and have been told by one or more doctors that there is nothing wrong with you, perhaps a consultation with Angela will be just what you need. She would love the opportunity to help.

The price for consultation is $75 for the initial one-hour phone call, then $4o each for as many follow-up phone calls as you need to get the bounce in your step back.

March 30, 2007. As our first boot camp, spring fitness retreat comes to a close, I've set up a couple of new options. The first group pushed their way through all 18 workouts...even with careers, spouses and children to manage! But everyone can't do that, so we're offering a new "Pick 6" and "Pick 12" option.

Visit the Trails Page for more information.





March 3, 2007. It's that time again. We're getting ready to kick-start our new seasonal fitness retreat and challenge. This year rather than having a class or hike here and there, we are going to offer a one week fitness retreat for all working stiffs! That means that you can make it to the retreat even if you have to report to work. We'll have 18 workouts over 6 days...6am, noon and 6pm, so you can make all 3 and really have a great retreat. This is also a great program for those of you who don't live in the area, who wish to fly or drive in for the week. Simply make your hotel reservations at one of the area Crabtree Valley hotels (zip code 27612 or 27613) and you'll be in the area where the trails are! Please visit our Fitness Retreat and Challenge web page for more information.

Press Release...10/18/04

Gourmet Meals Devour Body Fat

Unlike the "NutriSystem (R)" Nourish freeze-dried and dehydrated home meals delivery program, this program includes fresh, whole foods carefully prepared daily with gourmet techniques for a holistic, extremely healthful, body-fat-devouring, delicious portion-controlled alternative--and with SIX meals a day!

If you eat out often, and you spend on average, $7 a meal for 3 meals a day, and $2 a meal for another 3 snacks a day, you will not only save money while losing the fat that you are so ready to get rid of, you will save time--lots of time because these meals are freshly-prepared and delivered right to your door--often the meals are still warm!

Raleigh, NC. The Body Sculptress, the internet's premiere body sculpting professional for women, has added yet another piece to the body sculpting puzzle.

"You can exercise until you are blue in the face and unless your eating falls in line, you will feel stronger, but you won't get the results you are working so hard for," says Angela Ursprung, The Body Sculptress.

This sculpted 5' 4" and 40-year-old role model has inspired women all over the world -- by working one-on-one with women in Raleigh, NC, and serving many others internationally through her web site.

She has now added what she calls, "the secret weapon." "So many of my clients are too busy to cook which places them at the mercy of their environments each day -- fast food, frozen dinners and catered meetings. Without a strong meal component, they become frustrated with lagging results. Now I'm fully-prepared to help them with that piece as well!"

From her signature "Chocolate-Blueberry Pancakes" to meals like "Tilapia With Coconut-Milk and Mint Relish," her meals are holistic, portion-controlled and delicious!

For those who are not in her service area, she offers the recipes themselves in the form of an e-book.

For more information, visit http://thebodysculptress.com/meals.htm.

The Body Sculptress is an author, personal trainer and personal chef who lives in Raleigh, NC. Her company exists to help women the world over be better than they ever dreamed possible.

July 2004. "0 Trans Fat" Claims in New Nabisco "100 Calorie Pack" Snack Foods, but ingredients list "partially hydrogenated oil." How can it be? Any educated consumer KNOWS that if it says “partially hydrogenated oil” in the ingredient list, then there ARE trans fats in it! A client told me about the new pre-packaged “100 Calories” snack foods today – including cereal bars, cookies, crackers and other goodies and when looking at the food labels we discovered that one product had “high fructose corn syrup” as the main ingredient and was purely sugar, and the other, although claiming “0 TRANS FAT” had “partially hydrogenated oil” listed on the ingredient list. I was baffled as to how they could claim this and looked it up when I got back to the office today.

About the new 100 calorie snack products: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040712/cgm018_1.html. You can read all of the nutrition labels here: http://www.nabiscoworld.com/100caloriepacks/100cp_varieties.asp

About HOW a manufacturer can CLAIM that there are no trans fats when THERE REALLY ARE, as well as what trans fats are and what they do: http://www.bantransfats.com/

Be careful! You ARE what you eat! Or put another way, you ARE what the INGREDIENT list is! Check it out. Don’t be fooled by misleading marketing. Remember, too, that if it wasn’t grown in or on the earth, it’s processed and the more processed it is, the more likely it is to raise blood sugar and insulin levels and to be stored as fat. Indulge, but don’t go overboard. I would think twice about planning to eat something like this once or twice a day as a typical meal plan.




July 2004. I recently read the Newsweek article "Confessions of a Personal Trainer" with great sadness. Not only do I pity the trainer, who is obviously a predator with his own mental issues, but I pity the clients who would compromise themselves in such a way rather than doing something to improve their lives. AND I now pity them for the trainer making their poor judgement known to the world. This is just like Rodney Yee, yoga guru. It was discovered recently that he has had sexual relationships with many (most?) of his clients.

As a professional, my objective is to help people become better than they ever dreamed possible -- physically, emotionally and spiritually, and I would never do anything that would hurt them (like the doctor's "first do no harm"). No sexual relations, no questionable practices, no fad diets, no supplement sales, etc. Health is a combination of holistic balance, and you can count on me to be here FOR you, not AGAINST you (or your family!). Here's the story!




July 2004. Also... I've just published my first paperback book and am looking for well-known people to review it. If you know of someone or you yourself are a well-known individual who's name is readily-recognizable, let me know and I'll send you a complimentary review copy! Here's the book.




July 2004. I'm looking to associate with an OUTSTANDING Sports and Weight Loss Registered Dietician! I need someone who can analyze hair samples through the mail or locally (Raleigh, NC) or uses blood profiles, who is familiar with blood-type dieting and metabolic typing to develop bodysculpting meal plans for weight loss and muscle development for women ages 18 to 65 -- locally and internationally. If you can develop meal plans based on communication and hair samples, you can work with my international clients.

Please send a list of your accomplishments and a resume'!
