FMM: If you had five minutes with a world
leader, what would you talk about and tell
him/her?
MP: You know, I have always been interested in Bill
Gates and his philanthropy. He has done so much
for our world. I love to learn from more experienced
people. He and his wife amaze me. He, “has been
there, done that,” in his life, and I would love to
learn some nuggets of wisdom from someone
like him. I would also love to team up with him on
helping America’s school lunch programs. Kind of
what Jamie Oliver did for some schools but on a
bigger scale throughout America since the obesity
epidemic is out of control. Bill Gates has much
more clout than I do! LOL! People would listen.
Children are our future.
FMM: What is your favorite exercise/sport that
you do regularly for your workout?
MP : I love to lift weights because I am naturally a
tall thin body type. Lifting weights gives me curves.
I have added yoga for flexibility and boxing for
32 ||
the hand/eye coordination. I keep things mixed
up for fun so I don’t get bored. This summer I
want to take yoga on the paddle board classes.
I am really into taking my workouts outside to be
more in touch with nature. I love feeling more
centered with myself.
I always have something exciting going on.
You will just have to tune into my Healthinista blog

FMM: Any other projects/gigs in the near future
besides launching the Healthinista?
MP: Yes, I am excited for my holistic lifestyle
blog to launch! You can also see me in the new
SunWarrior ads I recently shot. SunWarrior is a
holistic health and wellness company that has an
amazing line of plant-based products. I fell in love
with their protein powder and tweeted it on Twitter.
They reached out to me because of that tweet, and
now I am a proud Ambassador for their company.
