Deteriorating Health

Sometimes we find ourselves in a state of deteriorating health. How does that happen? How did I get there? What can I do about deteriorating health?

Many people in their 20 are ready to take the world by storm. Nothing can hold them back.

In their 30’s they are focusing on their careers. They are establishing themselves in their chosen industry.

At forty, life begins to slow down a bit and they become more settled in their lives.  The income has been set and they are  comfortable with their lifestyle as a whole.

But have you ever seen those memes that says all is rocking along just fine but at 50 that “check engine” light comes on?

That little alert may be a realization that the hair is thinning or falling out. It may be stiff joints or an inability to climb stairs.  What about too much weight in the middle? Or worse yet, bad report numbers after the annual physical?

These are the people I specialize in helping. Those who are facing a downfall in health status, deteriorating health,  and are not quite ready to give in easily to the aging process.  Many tend to depend solely on what the doctor or physician’s assistant tells them to do.    I find it important to do some research and explore alternative pathways to solve a health problem.

Please understand that I have and use doctors and other medical professionals.  They are trained in their particular field of study and practice. However, their recommendations and procedures may not be the best or most appropriate option for you.

If you know someone who is at or approaching the half-century mark with some warning lights flashing on their dashboard of health I can be of help and guidance.  Send them to me and I will coach them on a path to wellness and self-care.

doctors recommendations

“Customer A” is a 70ish nutrition customer of mine.  She has some health issues and is on a broad spectrum of nutritional supplements.  She had to have a hip replacement to be followed by a knee replacement, per doctors recommendations.

As per norm, the doctors asked for a complete list of vitamins and supplements she is taking.  We got that list together and submitted it. Her medical practitioner  told her to cease all supplements 2 weeks prior to surgery. ( I would not do that, if it were me.  Just saying.)

“Customer A” had the hip surgery and at post op she was instructed by her doctors to resume all her supplements except Turmeric and CoQ10 because of some issue with her heart. I don’t know the particulars on that, but I am so pleased that her doctors told her to take her Shaklee supplements and protein.

Read that again:  Her doctors told her to resume taking her Shaklee supplements.

That is big. Most medical professionals don’t want to encourage supplement use.  I know there are other reasons, but I think their reluctance to recommend nutritional supplementation is that they don’t have time to do the research and they were not well-trained on nutrition and health in their rigorous medical school training. Should we always follow doctors recommendations?

I am more concerned about well care than sick care.  Take care of yourself while you are well instead of relying on others to get you out of a sickness or disease.   As they say, “An ounce of prevention….”Medicine spoon: this shows that preventative measures outweigh curative actions.

Be well. Perform well. Stay well.

Gym workout success

Picture this, even if you don’t do it.  We are searching for gym workout success.

You go to the gym. You may have been going for months, maybe years.  It is January.  As you look around you see a lot of new people in the gym.  They are filling the cardio equipment and many of them are wandering around the equipment trying to figure out how to use them and what they are for.   I call these people the “NewYearsResolutionites”.  Have no worries. They will most likely be gone by the middle of March.

What these “NewYearsResolutionites” don’t realize that the results they are seeking are made “in the kitchen”.  This means that working out alone will not deliver the goal of weight loss or muscle toning or gain.  The workout is important, but the fuel for the results is equally or more important.  What one eats before, during and after the workout or exercise puts the body in a position to move toward success.

That is what I do.  I help my clients feed their body in such a way that theyRunning legs with the word CONFIDENCE Gym Workout Success can experience the most from their workouts or exercise.   I can help create a plan that fits that person and build more confidence in their own process.

Reach out if you know someone who wants to have body success in this new year, especially with their gym workout success.

Be well. Perform well. Stay well.
