NY Times Best Selling Author Launches 40-Day Extreme Makeover Challenge in North Texas

Dr. Ben Lerner, who wrote the NY Times Bestseller, Body by God, will kick off his Extreme Makeover Challenge nationally and in North Texas. The 40 day program incorporates a "Whole-Person" approach to wellness including nutrition, exercise, stress-management, time management and spritual fitness.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 19, 2006 - January 23rd will mark the beginning of a national 40-day wellness campaign created by Dr. Ben Lerner, author of the best selling book, Body by God: The Owner’s Manual for Maximized Living.
