Coronavirus Update From U.S. Representative Dina Titus

Dear Friend,  

You’ve likely heard that Nevada has confirmed its first cases of coronavirus. This news is not surprising, so now is a good time to make sure you and your family have the resources you need to help stop the spread of this disease.  

While there is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus, there are simple steps you can take to prevent illness:  

  • Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. (The World Health Organization has a good guide for thorough hand washing). 
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. 
  • Stay home when you are sick. 
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. 
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevent (CDC) does not recommend the use of facemasks for the general public to prevent the spread of coronavirus. You should only wear a facemask if a health care professional recommends it.  

According to the CDC, the general public is unlikely to be exposed to the virus at this time and the immediate health risk remains low. People in communities where coronavirus has been reported are at elevated, though still relatively low risk of exposure.   

Patients with coronavirus have mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath. If you suspect that you are infected with coronavirus, call your doctor before seeking care at a medical facility.  

I’m working hard in Washington, D.C. to ensure that every level of government has the resources needed to keep the public safe. I believe strongly that health care treatment must be affordable and available to all.   

For the latest information and updates regarding coronavirus, I encourage you to visit the CDC’s website

Sincerely, 

Dina Titus  
Member of Congress

I LOVE When People Say, “Just Be Healthy.”

I LOVE When People Say, “Just Be Healthy.” Like You Have a Switch in Your Brain You Can Turn Off.

Let’s be honest, the reason why so many people fail is because the people preaching this has never struggled, or forgot how hard it is. They truly don’t know how hard healthy really is. Being healthy takes a lot more then looking good my friends. It’s a life style and it’s a slow change.

You can’t do it full force most of us anyway can’t. I know I cannot. Let’s be honest being healthy is not competing and showcasing a body you spent 12 weeks to prepare. After doing hours of cardio and restricting your body full of nutrition and then when your show is over gorging yourself full of shit food I wouldn’t even give my dog.

Competition is not dedication, it can truly be a sickness. It’s not done right by probably 90% of competitors and yes that includes pros. Just because you look amazing doesn’t mean you are not rotting from the inside. I want optimal health.

Feeling amazing on the inside first and looking good on the outside second. I am not hating on competitors but the reality is a lot of them go on social media and preach they can change you and in return ruin your body where you are fighting years for your health. I use to have a client not a competitor who kept telling me my workouts needed more cardio. Mentally society had ruined her thinking.

I can’t fix the people who don’t want to learn.
This isn’t a quick process. It has taking me years to switch my eating habits, tone down my cardio, learned to use my own strength instead of weights all the time, and switch simple things like body products that are filled with chemicals to natural ones. You know why, because of convenience.

Well I have news for you people, it’s easier to order online anyway then that simple gratification you get at target.

Why am I telling you this?
To hate on people? No. I want you to stop feeling horrible about yourself thinking omg how did she do it.

I want you to make a small change until it gets bigger and bigger.
Because those small changes can look like this. .Christina Vargas.

UFC Fighters Giving Back To Kids Fighting For Their Lives

UFC's Urijah Faber At Sunrise Children's HospitalDuring UFC Fight Week, Which Included UFC 189,  A Few Big Name UFC Fighters Took The Time To Visit With Some Kids in a REAL FIGHT.

UFC Fight Week is always busy with Events, Parties, Meet & Greets, and a Big Fight at the end of the week, and UFC 189 was a big fight!

In the middle of UFC Fight Week I was contacted by the UFC and asked if I would be interested in covering some of the athletes visiting our local Sunrise Children’s Hospital. For over 25 years I have been an active music volunteer at Hospices all over the world. In all that time, I never saw any children in that environment, it was always adults usually in their late 60’s-80’s. This was a special hospital just for kids.

The UFC Fighters That Visited The Hospital Were, Heather Clark, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Forrest Griffin, Urijah Faber, and Tyron Woodley.

I interviewed Jerom Schmidt fron Sunrise Children’s Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. He shared a bit of history about the hospital and what they provide to and for the children. When a group of us were talking with UFC Fighter Urijah Faber, Urijah said: ” When I fight in the UFC cage, it last only 25 minutes and then I go home. These kids here are in a REAL FIGHT, a fight for there life.”

Not all the children wanted to come out of their rooms, but those that did LOVED seeing the fighters, LOVED getting a UFC Shirt, and the fighters LOVED seeing them and talking with them too! Forrest Griffin got down low with these 2 young kids and they had fun, and so did Forrest. Heather Clark, Tyron Woodley and Joanna were all interacting with the kids, as much as could be permitted.

To my surprise, I got a bit emotional and had to step out of the room for a moment. It was a powerful experience and day.

At the end of the day, it’s not what we do for ourself that matters most, it’s what we do for others and the impact we can make that really counts. Yes these UFC folks are fighters, but they also have HUGE HEARTS!

Keep Being Brilliant
