Debra Williams Pugh

Debra Pugh received a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a minor in psychology from Texas Christian University in 1988. She is also a Certified Personal Trainer through ACE (American Council on Exercise), a Certified Sports Nutritionist, and has been a member of the National Arthritis Foundation since 1992.

Debra has been writing Health and Wellness articles for newspapers and magazines since 1999. She has been published in Oxygen, Body, Powerhouse, Excel, and the AIM Partners Magazines. She has been a monthly contributor for Plainview Daily Herald, Senior Link Magazine, Abernathy Harvester, and Lubbock Home and Family magazine. She even got to have a guest appearance on the popular TV show Baywatch (more on that below).

Debra started experiencing the symptoms of fibromyalgia when she was 15 years old. She tried many different medical forms of treatment but it gave little relief of the symptoms. Sometimes the side effects of the medications were worse than the fibromyalgia itself. Finally at the age of 26, Debra started researching the work of over 40 different doctors, chiropractors, and naturopathic doctors of alternative treatments. She learned what it took for her to eliminate the symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. She calls it her “Recipe for Feeling Fit and Healthy.” This same “Recipe” also eliminated other symptoms she was experiencing such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, allergies, asthma, eczema and she lost 30 pounds. This was the beginning of her book, Fibromyalgia and Fatigue: A Recipe for Feeling Fit and Healthy.

After Debra’s health improved, she felt like she had a second chance on life and was successful in competing in the Galaxy fitness competitions and martial arts.

Because of the success in the Galaxy Fitness Competitions, Debra was featured in many fitness magazines including Oxygen, Muscle and Fitness Hers, Natural Muscle, Ironman, Powerhouse, Body, and Excel.

Due to these accomplishments, she had several TV appearances on Ambassadors for Christ, Dallas Dream Makers, FOX News, 3 commercials for ASB Bank, and Baywatch, which is the most watched TV show in the world of all time, with over 1.1 billion viewers. Explains the Guinness Book of World Records

Debra explains, “We can fight back with knowledge, wisdom, and the healing power of God. I pray that after reading this book, you will have the knowledge to make good choices about taking care of the body that God designed for you. I pray that you will find hope in getting healthy. Take charge of your health. If I can regain my health, hopefully you can too!”
