She sits beside and banters with Manny Pacquiao and other superstar athletes as if they’re family. She goes kayaking and mountain climbing as regularly as social butterflies go to the salon.

She is almost always there where important events unfold – then later receives awards for doing what comes naturally.

Who wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of TV host and sports enthusiast Dyan Castillejo?

Yet as glamorous and exciting her life is, to be on top of the game takes a lot out of Dyan.

“I need to stay fit and strong. I need to be creative and retentive of details. I need to be in the know all the time,” she told Manila Bulletin Online in an exclusive interview.

Her daily schedule is not for the faint-hearted: Dyan is up and about everyday at 6 am. After praying, she wakes up her son, Dylan, and helps him prepare for school.

By 9 am, Dyan is already done jogging or en route to the office. There, she goes through or writes about sports news or does taping for her TV programs.

She’s almost always engaged in some kind of sport activity in the afternoon. Running, rappelling, kayaking…she’s superwoman.

When night falls, Dyan works out in the gym before going home to her husband and kid.

Is that hectic? Wait till you hear about Dyan's daily grind when she has to work out of town or abroad!

Sticking to a healthy lifestyle helps Dyan keep up with her activities. Apart from getting enough sleep and exercise, she also eats lots of fruits, vegetables, vitamins and super food Easy Pha-max wheatgrass.

“I first heard of the product from a friend while I was in the US. I was skeptical of its claims then because so many supplements have deluged the market of late,” she said.

Dyan was only fully sold to Easy Pha-max wheatgrass after she and her son visited the INS Bioscience Center in Kuala Lumpur where the product comes.

“They use the entire leaf and root to make the powder, making sure all the benefits of the wonder food remain complete. They have developed a method called Indoor Organic Acropolis Cultivation in which the grass is grown in a sterile, air-conditioned environment. Di sila gumagamit ng lupa so it’s pollution free,” she said.

The primary component of Easy Pha-max wheatgrass is chlorophyll; of the highest content among all green vegetables and glass, in fact. Consuming a sachet of Easy Pha-max wheatgrass is equivalent to eating a kilo of vegetables!

Studies have shown that chlorophyll has similar molecular structure as hemoglobin’s. This is why Easy Pha-max wheatgrass promotes proper oxygenation of cells and better blood circulation, the way chlorophyll distributes and rejuvenates nutrients in plants.

“The brain functions better, you look younger and you get a feeling of calm wellness when you consume the product regularly,” Dyan said.

More, wheatgrass has been proven to detoxify the digestive tract and help prevent illnesses, particularly cancer.

“Although I have relatives who have died from cancer, it’s not the reason I take Easy Pha-max wheatgrass,” she said. “I am the type of person who is ‘maagap.’ As they say, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.”

Dyan said the benefits of Easy Pha-max wheatgrass can be seen and felt in as early as a week.

Apart from hosting “Sports Unlimited,” Dyan is preparing to cover the forthcoming "Miss Universe" in the Bahamas and the Mayweather-Marquez match, both in August.

Asked who her dream interviewee is, Dyan names tennis icon Roger Federer.

“It’s because he’s so elegant inside the court yet so humble,” she said.

Easy Pha-max is Malaysia’s premier and multi-awarded company that’s been certified and recognized in the US, Switzerland, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines.

The company prides itself as being a “Blue Ocean” business, with its one-of-a-kind health products and unique business model.
