Health is a full time job, and depending on your schedule it can be a lot to keep up with. My job as a wellness coach is to meet you where you are and provide a smooth transition into maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I hold patients accountable on a weekly basis and give them realistic goals to achieve throughout the week. Food is essential for all functions of the human body. When we starve our bodies from nutrients we are more likely to promote the growth of disease in our body. Symptoms are your bodies way of telling you there is something out of balance.
Your health and fitness are an important part of maintaining your overall wellness because it affects the entire body in ways that most may not even know. You can begin changing for the better at any stage of life and our job is to make sure we are creating the best environment for your needs. Some diseases that eating healthy can help prevent are heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoporosis (bone loss) especially for the older clients. Physical activity and Nutrition go hand in hand, especially if you are trying to achieve and maintain optimal wellness.
Physical activity strengthens your body and your organs especially with the right exercises. Depending on your needs, there are a variety of exercises to strengthen your heart, lungs and circulatory system. There are exercises to make your muscles stronger and to help you gain more balance and flexibility. Exercising and achieving a balanced nutritious diet is not easy but I am here to help guide you down the path you want to be on.
My job is to bring you back into balance through proper nutrition, challenging exercise courses, and requiring the mind to build the value of why this is necessary to live whole. Our wellness program is very individualized to meet your needs. Once you have created life long habits you will be able to promote health not only for yourself, but those around you. The most important part of all of this is accepting that it is a challenge.
