Background

When I Started: no information entered
HOW I STARTED:

Being a rehabilitation physician, I've committed myself to the promotion of health and fitness not only to my patients, but to the community at large as well. My training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation allows me to help deconditioned patients optimize their functional independence. Being a NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, my experience also includes work as a personal trainer, a senior citizen fitness educator, and a volunteer trainer for Special Olympics track athletes. Radio listeners may even remember me as "Doctor Venus," as I frequently shared my knowledge of sports injuries and rehabilitation on "Damn...Another Sportz Show!?!" - a Los Angeles radio show which featured all-female correspondents. The promotion of health and fitness is an issue of personal significance for me. Several years ago, I recommitted myself to leading a physically active lifestyle after my mother suffered a stroke and my father collapsed due to heart disease. Now we all enjoy the positive effect exercise has had on our lives. So I firmly believe that you should "practice what you preach." While I may advise patients and clients on the benefits of physical fitness, I myself regularly train for fitness competitions. I have held the titles of Ms. Bikini California, Ms. Collegiate USA, and Miss Teen of Missouri, but I'm one pageant titleholder that is not afraid to sweat. I've competed in more than 60 local and national-level fitness/figure competitions over the past ten years. No matter how busy I may get, I always make time for training. In fact, when I was featured on FOX's "Temptation Island," I woke up early every morning to run sprints and jump hurdles on the beach -- usually all before taping began for the day.

WHY I LOVE IT:

I'm one of those who knew from a very young age that I wanted to become a doctor. I fell down on the playground in preschool...the school nurse slapped a Bandaid on my knee...and "bang" I decided to be a doctor! OK, maybe I was too young to actually remember the specifics now, but it probably happened something like that. While following the path toward a medical degree, I discovered that life had so many other things to offer as well. I found great joy in pursuing many different hobbies and interests. Singing, dancing, modeling, training for fitness contests, wakeboarding (or attempting to wakeboard, I should say - hee hee!), news broadcasting, oil painting, and even knitting/crocheting -- I've enjoyed them all. Live life to its fullest, I say! Given my different activities and pursuits, some have asked me if I'd ever consider moving on to a different career. Right now, I can't imagine not practicing medicine. It's something I worked hard to achieve and I'm quite happy doing what I do. That's not to say that I won't make time to supplement my career with other interests that further enrich my life. I've realized that my outside interests can also enhance my ability to promote health and fitness...a goal that I've made it my career to pursue. Competing in fitness contests has been an extremely rewarding way for me to do just that. Even TV/radio broadcasting and swimsuit modeling have served as avenues for me to promote a healthy and fit lifestyle. Stay Fit and Be Happy!

This is one woman who embodies beauty, brains, enthusiasm, never ending perseverence and that die-hard attitude most people just cannot seem to embody ! And most of all.... she's Filipino like me (well, I am just half)

You're in rehab (I'm getting my doctorate in PT) and you apply what you've learned not only for your patients, but yourself. Its always nice seeing someone who cares for their body and wellness as well as others. Keep up the good work.

Many ups and downs on the road to recovery...but gonna stay focused!

September 30, 2011


I am a licensed physician in the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation.  I enjoy playing in recreational softball and beach football leagues.  Just one week before the NPC National Fitness Championships in 2008, I suffered a nerve injury during my workout and my right arm became suddenly weak and numb.  Even with my expertise in the field of rehabilitation, I knew that there was nothing that I could do to recover the nerve function required to perform my fitness routine up to the level for which I had trained.  But having put

Wow, I've been a member for a while...but haven't had a chance to start a blog.  Just gotta sit down and jot something down I suppose. Well, I'm headed out to check out the Olympia tomorrow.  I'm so looking forward to it!  I's always a great way to meet up with old friends and even discover new ones. I may even get up on stage to try out the Fitness Model competition...hmmmm.  I promised my trainer that I'd try to cut down on competing so much (takes away from my preparation time).  But maybe just one little modeling contest won't hurt bef...
