In the health coaching world, it is common to hear health stories where people have made strides to improve their health but felt frustrated and stuck in the process. It’s not that they aren’t trying hard enough. On the contrary, these individuals often become consumed with their health concerns and would be willing to make a change if they could only find something that actually worked. They are looking for answers (and for new hope) that will help them relieve their symptoms and experience greater freedom with their health.

When it comes to addressing health concerns, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. The human body is an incredibly designed machine; simply put, there is a lot going under the surface. It makes sense that you would need a guide - a practitioner, a physician, a coach - to help you navigate and understand why your body is experiencing dis-ease and how to restore balance and initiate healing through lifestyle change.

Holistic practitioners focus on evidence-based protocols and lifestyle strategies that are both timely and timeless. So often, I see people who have tried every fad diet, every low calorie/low carb/sugar-free product, or magic supplement that promises big results and fast. The truth is very little healing takes place quickly and if this is being promised to you - either by a professional or a product label - I want you to question it.

A timely approach to caring for your body means using the appropriate functional lab work or health testing that provides you an accurate snapshot of how your body is operating right now. This is where accuracy matters and we want to make sure you are addressing the root cause of your symptoms in order to fully heal or at least fully manage your condition. You may know someone who has experienced great results taking a certain supplement or eating a certain way, but your body is unique and your road to healing will (and should) look different. Finding a practitioner or coach that can help you assess the current state of your health through a holistic lens and recommend strategies that are a good fit for your current lifestyle is imperative.

Timeless practices are proven to support our mind and body. These are wellness solutions and strategies that have been through rigorous research and can easily be adapted making them easily accessible to most people. Regardless of the root cause of your illness or health symptoms, incorporating timeless lifestyle medicine practices into your routine can prove beneficial. A health and wellness coach can offer tailored education to help you gain confidence in adopting new health behaviors as well as provide guidance and support so that the changes you make are realistic, achievable, safe, and sustainable.

True Living coaches help you become the greatest advocate for your health and feel equipped to change your health story. We have established our coaching practice on 5 tenants of healthy living that support true transformation.

Integrity: True Living empowers people to live with purpose and principle and make choices that align with their needs, vision, and values. If you’re daily life does not reflect your core values this can lead to stress in the form of guilt, anxiety, or low self-worth. When we live in alignment with our values we can experience greater well-being physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We are not victims of our health, we are stewards of our health. When we assume personal leadership and choose to align our life with what we know is good and right, we can experience greater freedom and life-satisfaction.
Meaning: Our team inspires authentic change by honoring the individual’s intrinsic motivation and addressing underlying beliefs, attitudes, and barriers for long term success. One thing is certain, if you don’t believe in something, it won’t work for you. If you are lacking motivation and momentum around your wellness goals, then take time to discover what beliefs are driving your current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Then you can take small steps to shift your mindset and this can change how you show up and care for your mind, body, and spirit.
Wholeness: Our whole-person approach combines lifestyle medicine and personal leadership with social and environmental support to drive powerful results. If we only look at exercise and diet as a means for health improvement, we are missing a big part of the equation. Likewise, if we are only looking at how are environment, emotions, and relationships are impacting our well-being, we can miss opportunities to steward our health. All aspects of our well-being are connected and we must be willing to look at all factors that are impacting our quality of life and, most importantly, invite God into the conversation to shed light on parts of our life that need His healing presence.
Synergy: True Living helps you find integrative solutions that cultivate balance while you build momentum and confidence through intentional practice. If we want to adopt a lifestyle that aligns with our values and fits into our current life situation, we need to keep synergy in mind. How can you create a lifestyle that supports all aspects of your well-being without pushing yourself into burnout or overwhelm? The answer is synergy. You don’t need to throw your current life in the trash and start fresh. What is more realistic is choosing small habits that will get you closer to your goal and incorporating them in a way that feels manageable and even enjoyable.
Connection: Individuals thrive in a trusting environment with personalized guidance and accountability to support self-acceptance and personal development. Humans are designed to be in relationship and we thrive when we feel we have a witness to our lives and feel supported by people that understand us and want the best for us. Having a trusted friend or spouse to confide in can make a huge difference in your well-being; the same goes for having a trusted coach to create a safe space for you to share your wellness story and help you navigate health choices alongside your physician or care team.

True Living coaches work with you to incorporate routines and habits in a sustainable way that support your health and your success.
