Wellness Coaching For A Healthier Lifestyle

OPTIMUM ENERGY AND PERFORMANCE REQUIRE A CONSCIOUS LIFESTYLE STRATEGY

In today's fast-paced world, we have become almost unconscious about the kind of food we put in our mouth every day.

Yet, such unconscious actions can have a huge impact on how we feel and look, how long we're going to live, and the quality of our lives as we age.

MY STORY
It started in my late teens … just headaches at first. Over time it progressed to migraines, ulcers, arthritis-like symptoms, chronic fatigue, and much more.

I sought help from traditional medical doctors, but with little long-term relief. Usually, the drugs I was prescribed only made things worse. The doctors were focused on treating my symptoms. Nobody looked for the source of my problems.

By the time I reached my mid-30s, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time, and I started looking for my own answers. I began to suspect that my diet might be playing a part in my poor health, but there were so many differing opinions as to what to eat that I was overwhelmed.

I was fortunate enough to find an MD who was doing pioneering work in the area of nutrition. He recognized that there was a good chance that my health problems stemmed, in his words, "from massive nutritional deficiencies". And he was right. His holistic approach literally turned my life around.

After fifteen years of getting almost no exercise, I actually began to feel good enough to think about getting out on a tennis court again. It felt so great to feel good again that it was hard to pull me off the courts. I started playing competitively, eventually going on to get a state ranking in my age division in my early forties! What a transformation!

NUTRITION QUEST
The results were so impressive it started me on a long quest to learn all I could about nutrition and health.

One day I attended a seminar given by Joe Dillon, a nutrition expert and personal trainer to over 20 Olympic Gold Medal winners. Joe had developed a program for busy executives who wanted a healthier lifestyle, but didn't have the time or inclination to train like an athlete.

When I adopted his nutrition-oriented approach, my mental and physical energy went through the roof and my body-fat percentage plummeted. I felt so great I got in touch with him, and later became the first person he certified to teach his program.

A COACHING APPROACH
Eventually, I decided that the best approach I could take for helping people improve their health was a coaching approach. That allowed me to work individually with people, and to combine my nutrition knowledge with skills that I had learned through my coach training. I developed the Health Foundation Coaching Program. It's built around a solid understanding of nutrition, the single most important ingredient of a long term, sustainable health program. I've used this program over the last several years to help people from all walks of life take better control of their health, lose weight, improve performance, and maximize their energy.
