Health

The keys to true health and wellness - otherwise known as functional metabolic efficiency

Did you look at that sentence and say, "What?" I don't blame you. It's a lot of words that you most likely have no clue as to what it means. So let me simplify it  - it's living a wellness philosophy of healthy lifestyle choices and informed proactive participation in one's own healthcare alternatives.

That is why dōTERRA's Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils and other wellness products are a part of my health.

Their products are specifically formulated to support a wellness philosophy of eating right, exercising, resting and managing stress, and reducing toxic load. dōTERRA also teaches informed self care alternatives and encourages people to take a proactive role in their medical care. Our mission as a company is to teach people to live more healthy, productive lives and to share with others the blessing of a lifetime of wellness. The diagram here shows the impotance - and of course it starts right where I start you... nutrition and fitness!

 

Eating Right is a matter of quality and quantity. Our diets should be rich in foods with an abundance of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. A healthy diet also includes healthy sources of protein, moderate amounts of complex carbohydrates, and the healthiest of fats. Eating right means choosing fresh, whole, unprocessed foods and avoiding foods that are over processed and contain high levels of simple sugars and saturated fats. The dōTERRA philosophy of eating right also includes the daily consumption of dietary supplements to ensure optimal levels of key nutrients that are essential for longevity and wellness. Incorporating these products, Green Smoothies and/or Shakeology and choosing whole plant based organics for the largest portion of our food, as well as if you desire grass-fed, pastured proteins and sustainable fish is essential to make sure you are living with optimal health.

Healthy activity begins with taking the stairs, walking to lunch, and generally having a "mentality of movement." A more complete exercise program includes aerobic activity, flexibility exercise, and strength training. With the programs I can share with you via Team Beachbody, and our products area, or with one of your Personal Training programs you are well on your way to optimal physical health!

Living healthy includes appropriate time for rest and relaxation. Regular sleep is an often skipped, but essential practice for optimal health. Managing stress is also important to maintaining good health. When we do not allow our bodies appropriate time for rest and regeneration, we can compromise our immune defenses and may become more prone to infection and disease. Chronic stress remains a significant health threat and has been tied to numerous degenerative conditions. With a combination of stretching, essential oil infusions and healthy choices you'll find that you'll feel less stressed out on a daily basis.

In spite of our best efforts to practice good wellness habits, we can be exposed to toxic environmental stressors that can have deleterious effects on our health. A good place to start is with a Detoification Program, daily meal replacement with Shakeology and then using products like the DigestZen Digestive Health products can be essential to your health. .!

As a Certified Personal Trainer I know exactly what you need to do to reach your healthy goals. It's no longer about skinny, it's about healthy. But I want you to know that even I've experienced the place where you are today. It took a wake up photo to bring me back to the light, and that is why I incorporate Holisic Food Coaching into my training programs.  It's a key that is often overlooked. You need to eat healthy whole foods - that simplifies the process.  Move forward every day with making small changes one baby step at a time and before too long you'll be healthier than you ever thought possible.  I am so thankful for the beauty that surrounds me here in the Seattle area, but being grateful for where ever you are is something I hope you walk away from my coaching with.
