What an exciting month! Why? Well...for one, it's the last one until I am an official graduate of The Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a Health and Wellness Coach....and TWO.....me and my fellow classmates got a letter from Congress announcing that we as Health and Wellness Coaches will start being recognized nationally from January 12th - 18th! A whole week!! To celebrate what we do as coaches! What is that exactly?
Well, the range for Health and Wellness Coaches is pretty broad! What I mean by being a Health and Wellness Coach we can work in many, many places, or we can do our own thing......it's amazing! Going through my course at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, has helped me no only learn how to guide, motivate and support others along their path to health and wellness, it has also helped ME in my own journey....to help learn to start with myself, by learning self love and care, and how to manage my own health and life and the life of my family so that I can better help others on their path.
I personally came to Integrative Nutrition (IIN), after having my OWN life transformation, and becoming an Independant Fitness Coach through Beachbody, a company that provides in home fitness programs, and also provides you an opportunity to pay it forward in helping others in reaching their goals. Being a Fitness Coach is amazing, it truly has become my passion, but I wanted to know more....I wanted to truly learn HOW to incorporate what I've learned through my own journey and also, I wanted to know everything I could about nutrition, health and wellness, so I could help those around me that need it......I am honestly one of those people who will always be a student! I love to learn, and I especially love to learn how to help the lives of others.
What I've come to love about being a Health Coach, is I'm there to guide and motivate, and to help my clients know that they're not alone! The journey to health can be daunting, confusing and frustrating at times and knowing which steps to take, can make or break a person's efforts, and send them spiraling backwards, sometimes giving up completely, and suffering the consequences later. Being able to be a part of someones transformation, is close to indescribable. Just knowing that you are the inspiration for another to continue on this path, knowing the rewards will be plenty,not just for themselves, but their families, and their future's, is a beautiful thing!
IIN opened up my eyes to many, many things....including bioindividuality and the concept of Primary and Secondary foods! Primary foods. Our environments, relationships, physical activity, cooking, career choices among other things have a GREAT impact on our health, and it needs to be balanced in order to live healthy and fulfilled! Secondary Foods being the foods we eat, and how it affects our
bodies and our health. Bioindividuality. Learning and studying over 100 dietary theories, and learning that diets are NOT a 'One size fits all" concept! One persons food, may be another's poison, and that alot of time, just learning how to eat a healthy diet, made up of whole, unprocessed and unrefined foods can heal our bodies from so many ailments and chronic conditions and sadly, it is unrecognized from our society!
I've had the pleasure of learning from some of the best in the world! Dr. Mark Hyman, Andrea Beaman, Dr. Andrew Weil, Bernie Siegel, David Wolfe, Dr. Oz, Oprah....and literally hundreds more!! And I got to do this all in my own home....and it wasn't taking up my entire day, or interrupting other engagements!
Being recognized nationally through congress is a step in the right direction for Health and Wellness Coaches, and a positive future lies ahead, and I'm beyond thankful that I have been given this opportunity. If you are in need of a Health and Wellness Coach, or even just have questions about how I could possibly help you, you can set up a free 45 minute consultation with me to see if we are a good fit, you can email me!
If you are wanting to know more about what IIN has to offer, and you are thinking about beginning your own journey and path to helping others you can call (877) 733-1520 or you can check out the IIN Cirriculum guide. I for one, will be celebrating this week, and giving thanks to the universe for allowing me the opportunity to not only change my OWN life, but now, being given the chance to help others as well!! Have a healthy day!!
Much Love,
The Invigorated Soul
