Peeke is a maverick. A lone voice against popular sentiment and conventional dogma. What she advocates is neither popular nor profitable.

In other words, very few like what she is saying...

and, she is absolutely right on the money.

Agreed! I was pleased that our new doctor asked both my husband and I on separate visits about our exercise routines (though neither of us are overweight).

The previous time I had to see a doctor I was just thrown through tests like on a conveyer belt.
