Try Coaching for your health and enjoy a health & fitness makeover!

Coaching for my Health? Yep, definitely!

What does that mean?

It means that just as an athlete uses a sports coach to help them excel at a sport, a Health and Wellness Coach can help anyone excel at living their life. 

How?

By working with you to create the tools you need to make changes toward a healthier life. We all can use a health & fitness makeover from time to time. Work pressures, parenting responsibilities, financial worries, can all be part of the daily strains of living in a fast-paced world.  They can often, without knowing it, effect your health resulting in sleepless nights, increased levels of stress and overwhelm, that then leads to weight gain, lack of exercise and poor nutrition. When this becomes too much, for too long, it effects all the dimensions of your life, especially your health and can lead to the poor lifestyle choices we tend to make under pressure that lead to chronic disease.

In fact, the World Health Organization says that two-thirds of all disease across the globe will soon be the result of those lifestyle choices.   A stressed brain is not a smart brain. And that stressed brain becomes the slave to the fast and easy poor choices we all tend to make when on overwhelm. These choices become normal everyday behaviors and lead us towards those chronic illnesses like diabetes, obesity and heart disease to name a few.

And because this is now so common new types of healthcare have emerged called Lifestyle Medicine and Functional Medicine. Both of these new specialties are in response to the growing need to help people fix their health problems by looking at diet, exercise, sleep patterns, stress levels and other aspects of their life that are impacting their health and the quality of their lives.

And that’s where Coaching comes in. Health & Wellness Coaching can help you manage your stress, guide you on your nutrition, assist in losing that weight that you can’t get rid of, help you sleep better and address any other piece of your life that is affecting your health and wellbeing.

Very often, Health & Wellness Coaches work directly with Lifestyle Medicine, Functional Medicine and other integrated physicians, to look at the whole you, not just a piece of you.  That is truly is a health & fitness makeover and Coaches can be the guides. They help you do what you know you need to do.

Career, finances, relationships, environment, nutrition, exercise and stress levels are a few of the things that are interwoven into the whole you. The dimensions of your life are all interconnected.  An improvement in one has a domino effect in another.  A balanced person creates a balanced life. A balanced life promotes quality of living.

Your physical health is directly connected to the rest of you. Health & Wellness Coaching looks at your health, yes, but also the other components of your life that may be contributing factors.  Your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual functioning all influence your well-being.

If you have a chronic illness, pain, or a life and lifestyle that is completely off kilter.

Health & Wellness coaching can help you.

If you are chronically stressed living a life at a frantic pace and always stretched to the minute.

Health & Wellness Coaching can help you.

If, year after year, you swear that this is the year “I’m going to do it”!  I’m going to lose weight and get back in shape! I’m going to run that marathon! I’m going to get healthy enough to hike with my grandkids!

Health & Wellness Coaching can help you too!

Interestingly enough, health and overall quality of life are at the top of all New Year’s Eve lists. Yet, at least 80% fail to follow through.  The reasons revolved around “I don’t have any willpower, I don’t have any time, I keep forgetting, I am too stressed, I don’t feel well or have enough energy to stay on track, I am just lazy.” Maybe next year.

Well …. Health & Wellness Coaching can help you stick to the plan.

When your life is constantly off keel and you are just waiting to fall off the ledge while yearning for balance, health and wellbeing, Health & Wellness coaching can definitely help you.

Health & Wellness Coaching can help with all those and basically any challenge you have in life, and more, but better yet Health & Wellness Coaching can make you feel that “Life is for Living” and combined with Physiotherapy and Fitness you have a powerful trio on your side.

But, without a doubt some challenges are more difficult than others. A physical illness or surgery can ripple through a life and it can feel like nothing can be done about it. Not true.
