Health and Wellness Coaching
The Health and Wellness Coaching is aimed at promoting a holistic and healthy life-style. It will provide you with the tools to achieve your goals for your mental and physical wellness. Healthy people are happy people. Do you feel like poor health is limiting you and preventing you from achieving your life’s vision? Health and Wellness Coaching might be just what you need.
Weight loss
In some instances overweight or compulsive eating is often due to emotional problems, stress, anxiety, depression. You might be engaging in comfort eating. Health and Wellness Coaching helps you to get rid of negative emotions.
Overweight could be due to addiction to certain foods that promote weight gain. A common addiction is chocolates, or fattening snacks such as cakes and biscuits. Even if not an addiction, you might have a strong preference for certain foods which, if omitted from your diet or consumed in significantly lower amounts, could assist in your weight loss and maintainance thereof. Examples of such foods include bread, potatoes and rice. Health and Wellness Coaching effectively removes harmful food addictions.
Sometimes poor eating is habitual, and the result of a busy schedule. You might be grabbing a pie for lunch at work, or buying fattening and unhealthy fast-foods whilst on the run during the day, or after work because you will not have time to prepare a balanced meal when you get home. Health and Wellness Coaching will help you to adopt healthy eating habits.
Lack of physical exercise also contributes to weight gain if physical activity is disproportionate to excessive food consumption. Health and Wellness Coaching helps you balance your diet and physical exercise.
How excessive weight affects your life
Being overweight can have a negative effect on your self-esteem, self-image and self-confidence. This probably happens to you more in the social arena. Embarrassment about your appearance might be hindering you from attending social events. You probably find yourself finding excuses to turn down invitations. Excessive weight can also have serious health implications. These include exacerbating arthritis, diabetes and heart problems. Health and Wellness Coaching helps you prevent these negative health outcomes.
How I can help you
Health and Wellness Coaching can help you if your being overweight is a result of emotional eating, addiction to fattening foods, lack of physical exercise, or a combination of these causes.
It is generally known that weight loss is 80% what you eat and 20% physical exercise. Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight also knows that willpower is often just not enough. This is where Health and Wellness Coaching comes in.
My Health and Wellness Coaching will help you lose weight by exploring whether there may be any emotional basis to your over-eating. We will work on removing any emotional connection to your over-eating. We will delete those negative emotions that are keeping you in a negative emotional state, causing you to over-eat.
I will help you delete the addiction to fattening foods such as chocolates, so that you do not even want to eat them at all.
Health and Wellness Coaching will also help you to delete habits that are contributing to your weight gain, and re-program new, empowering habits that will promote weight loss. Such empowering habits may include installing a suitable physical activity programme into your schedule to promote weight loss, and maintain a healthy body and mind.
Health and Wellness Coaching coaching uses a holistic approach and will contribute to your overall health and well-being.
Smoking
Smoking tabacco is bad for your health any way you look at it. Nicotine is a habit forming, mood altering drug and a central nervous system stimulant. It makes you feel energised for a little while, and when that feeling subsides, you crave more. Many people smoke occasionally for relaxation. For other people smoking is an addiction, and they might be chain-smokers. Health and Wellness Coaching helps you prevent the many adverse effects of smoking.
How smoking affects your life
Some of the side-effects of smoking:
- Macular degeneration, cataracts and poor eye-sight
- Weakens sense of taste and smell
- Increases risk of respiratory infections, colds and flu
- Increases risk of lung, blood and cervical cancer
- Constricted blood vessels
- High cholesterol
- Tooth decay / stained teeth
- Diabetes complications
- Erectile dysfunction
- Early menopause
- Coughing
- Bronchitis
- Too much clotting
- Wrinkly skin
- Infertility
You might be smoking for momentary relief in moments of high stress or anxiety. It would serve you better to remove the sources of the stress and anxiety permanently, or to install empowering habits to manage periodic stress and anxiety, than to rely on a cigarette for relief.
How I can help you
As with weight loss, most smokers know that willpower is often just not enough to give up smoking. The coaching will help you identify whether there may be any negative emotions contributing to your smoking addiction. If so, we will work on removing those negative emotional charges that are keeping you in a negative emotional state.
Health and Wellness Coaching will also help you collapse your smoking addiction and install new, empowering habits.
