Working closely with a Functional Medicine Health Coach to help you focus on yourself enough to see what works best for you and your unique body and preferences to eat in ways that reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, Type 3 Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Cancer
Cultivating and aligning with a Vision of what you want so that you are acting on being inspired by your Vision Of
Health rather than
Willpower
Lowering blood sugar, blood pressure, LDL Cholesterol, and Triglyerides, and reducing one's risk of Heart Disease, Type 2 and 3 Diabetes, and Cancer, by incorporating the results of recent credible research
Reducing the Urge for Emotional Eating And Transcending Food Addictions, and helping form purposeful
non-emotional eating habits
This can be easier to do by focusing on learning about what different food does for the body and how some foods have been
found to be harmful, according to recent research, and focusing on improving Health, and reducing one's risk of Cancer,
rather than focusing on losing weight or appearance, because reduced risk of Cancer, lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol
and healthy arteries, are not things that are obvious from outside appearance, but reduced risk can be seen and measured by blood testing.
It can be easy to feel discouraged if you can't see results in weight-loss/muscle
development, which is very hard to do for many people. Improvement in blood tests will often be seen before weight-loss/muscle
development, so it can be very helpful to focus on measuring improvement shown by blood tests and blood pressure
monitoring, so you can feel encouraged by this, rather than focusing on weight, and let weight-loss be a later side-effect of improved health that you are not focusing on.
Finding ways to incorporate information from the latest research regarding nutrition in a way that is sustainable for you over time
Cultivating self-compassion, self-love, self-acceptance, confidence, and awareness of how your body, "overweight," "old," or
"unfit" as it may be,
helps you do the things you love to do, and cultivating an appreciation for keeping it as healthy as you comfortably can, and giving yourself grace
Identifying what is needed for one's own personal Self-Care, considering one's unique needs and preferences, believing that Self-Care is not Selfish, and seeing that effective Self-Care, when tailored to one's
unique needs and preferences, can increase one's performance and
ability to care for others
