 | | | | | Rick Schaff, M.S.H.N. | | | | Rick started his career in health and fitness more than a quarter of a century ago as a personal trainer, and for the last 17 years he has remained as one of the industry's most prolific writers and photographers. His articles and photos have been published in some of the most influential health and fitness magazines in the world, and have helped create successful advertising campaigns for industry leaders like Gold's Gym, MetRx, and Weider Nutrition. Currently, Rick is a monthly contributor to Natural Muscle - a monthly magazine dedicated to drug free bodybuilding and fitness.
 Between 2001 and 2003, Rick co-published the women's fitness magazine DIVAS, which was a bilingual publication targeting the Latina population of the United States, Mexico, Spain, and Canada. During that time, he also became part owner and creator of a supplement company that produced an innovative antioxidant protein - fiber drink called E2.

Additionally, between 2001 to 2007, he became the co-owner of a successful, health-conscious fast-food restaurant in Marina Del Rey called Spin that served fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as hormone-free and antibiotic-free chicken

In addition to his endeavors behind the camera, he occasionally spent some time in front of it as well. In 1996, he competed in a natural fitness competition and won for best physique. He was also the featured fitness model for Bowflex's I-trainer DVD series from 2003 to 2007.
As much as he enjoyed his career, his curiosity to learn more kept steering him toward better ways of looking at lifestyles and nutrition, and as he grew in knowledge he became increasingly disappointed with the convetional ideas and methods used to package and sell health & fitness to the American people.
It was becoming painfully obvious that the entire health industry had very little, if anything to do with genuine health and fitness, and it was a real wake up call for him to realize that he had unknowingly become part of its many problems. Furthermore, the idea that he was making money from it was creating some real anxiety for Rick. As a result, he began to distance himself from the industry during the early part of this century and stopped all of his projects to focus on how he could truly help people. Rick decided to expand his education and earned a Masters of Science in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health. The curriculum he studied there was instrumental in helping him to further understand how and why the typical American is faced with so many health challenges. Today Rick is a Healthy Lifestyle Consultant, and the proud author of a book about disease prevention called MISLED. He spent and continues to spend a great deal of his energy reading books, attending lectures, talking to physicians, and exchanging ideas with like minded people. |

"Matt you are my torch bearer." Stephen Parkhill, author of the book "Answer Cancer."
He also received a prestigious International Hypnosis leadership Award through one of the top hypnosis schools around today. This award has only been given to individuals considered to be at the top 1% of the hypnosis community: "Matt... You were selected  for this honor because of the guidance and leadership that you have provided your fellow hypnotherapist s...You have truly led by example."
Cal Banyan, CEO, Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training and Services, Inc.
Because he was able to successfully integrate the training he had with his own personal experiences and through his client sessions, his hypnosis methods and concepts have brought him clients from other states and countries to spend time working with him for private sessions and for Hypnosis training. Furthermore, he has been able to "walk the walk" by using his concepts and methods to successfully heal himself from anxiety, panic attacks and genetic high blood pressure."
More so, he has successfully helped clients deal with issues ranging from weight loss, addictions, fears and phobias, to chronic illness and pain. Some of his clients include professional athletes and entertainers who have relied on him to enhance their athletic and creative talents, while business professionals have tapped into his skills to overcome the blocks to their professional success.
Other hypnotherapists, traditional talk therapists and healing professionals have relied on Matt for assistance in addressing their own issues while sending him clients who need additional help. He has given dynamic lectures on the advanced uses of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy to overcome illnesses and life challenges. Some of his engagements include lectures and workshops for the "Alive and Well Organization", "The Cancer Hope Foundation", and "Easter Seals."
"It is my pleasure to recommend Matt Sison. He is enormously successful in accessing the root causes of emotional  issues, and enabling clients to work through these issues. He is also well versed in using Emotional Freedom Technique...I recommend Matt as a professional and effective hypnotist. He is someone whom I am comfortable sending my own patients to." Eric Robins, M.D. - Author of the book "YOUR HANDS CAN HEAL YOU"  |
Aside from his wonderful accomplishments in the hypnosis field, Matt was also a 4 time national gold medal champion in college forensics competition. However, one particular feat he is extremely proud of is obtaining a 2nd degree blackbelt in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu. It is through the martial arts that Matt says he built the foundation of understanding the power of mental focus.

| | | |  While getting ready for the 2008 WTF Las Vegas show, Rick's diet really kept my energy levels high while I rapidly lost body fat. It's the best diet I have ever followed and I was really pleased with the results. It's so easy and full of flavor that I can still follow it while off season from competing.
Cherisse Rivers- Fitness competitor & full time business professional
| | | |  Matt, I must admit I feel like a new person: rejuvenation. I just want to say thank you for the experience. It was the most fearful and best thing I have ever done for my life. It was definitely worth it. Already with my first week of training I can feel a difference. I am more energized and sustain stamina for longer periods... regardless of football (NFL) my life has definitely been changed, understood and improved. Take care... and may God bless you always! Until the next time...." -

| | | |  I followed Rick's pre-contest diet while competing in 2008 and it helped me get in great shape. Learning that I could eat so many great tasting foods and good fats while still losing weight made dieting much easier. Thanks Rick.
Amy Pierce - Fitness model, full time mother & business professional. | | | |  Matt, I owe you for life and I am grateful to you forever. Had I not have met you, as my official guide and mentor, I would still be frozen unable to help others, let alone myself.
THank you Matt for your generosity of heart. You are a gift. Whoever seeks your help is blessed. Love and Healing, Najat Kessler - Poet and motivational speaker
| | | | For the first time ever I was able to diet without wanting to kill everyone. Rick's dieting principles made me much less irritable and gave me more energy than the previous ways that I tried before.
