Ed Jones, owner of Nutrition World and sponsor of Dr. Asa's visit to Chattanooga State, agrees with Dr. Asa's natural approach to optimum health.

Throughout his radio broadcast, Dr. Asa projects a positive and reassuring outlook.  "I want listeners to hear a consistent diagnosis of hope and feel empowered," says Dr. Asa.  "I am on a mission of to help people go from where they are in their current state of health to where they need to be. The word, doctor, literally means teacher.  If I don't teach you something about your health and your life, then I haven't done my job.  As an individual who personally understands the struggles of poor lifestyle choices, I am now on a mission to empower, educate, and equip others to have the hope, the confidence, and the inner strength required to improve their lives."

Dr. Asa continues by noting that around 80% of the health challenges-such as diabetes, heart disease, depression, obesity, and arthritis-are mostly diet and lifestyle related.  "If we can lifestyle our way into getting sick, then we can lifestyle our way out and get well."
