Publisher's Synopsis
I would like to give a special thanks to my husband, Mike Miller, for all of the encouragement and support that he has given me throughout my education. He has been there for all of the late nights and early mornings of research and classes, helped me with everything he possibly could, and been my rock when I did not think I could make it through.I would also like to thank my children, Dakota and Bobby, for being my inspiration for going back to school in the first place. I hope that I have shown you that you truly can do whatever you put your mind to and inspired you to live your dreams.Finally, I want to dedicate this research to my mother, Judy Davis, and my Grandmother, Beulah Wolf, for being my inspiration in learning how to prevent disease through exercise and teaching me how to be a strong woman. I hope that my research both now and in the future will not only find ways to prevent the illnesses that took you from our family, but also teach other women to be as strong as you both were in life
