When it comes to your health and overall sense of well-being, where are you right now?
No single question is more important at the start of a new client relationship. We start exactly where you are on your own unique path of healing. For example, some of us are healthy and just want to “tweak” what we are doing to get to the next level of vitality – more energy, better athletic performance, better ability to concentrate and focus, and elevated mood. And some of us are not sick, but have nagging, vague symptoms that interfere with our ability to experience full aliveness. Still others of us are sick, struggling with overt disease symptoms and perhaps taking medication that may or may not be working for us, or is creating intolerable side effects.
THE 7 MOST COMMON SITUATIONS:
You have a significant diagnosis such as diabetes, auto-immune disease, arthritis, GERD (commonly called acid reflux), thyroid issues, irritable bowel, cancer, etc.
You feel off, you have vague and pernicious symptoms, perhaps you’re highly stressed, yet have no specific diagnosis, and your lab work looks normal to your health care provider. This would include symptoms like digestion problems, fatigue, low energy, sugar cravings, mood swings, sore joints, hormonal imbalances, etc.
You’re overweight and confused or frustrated about next steps. You’ve tried some approaches, without lasting success.
You’re either preparing for, or recovering from surgery or an injury.
You have lab work issues such as high blood sugar, high cholesterol, high CRP, high homocysteine, elevated liver enzymes, abnormal thyroid tests, etc., yet you feel fine.
You’re feeling great and are in good health, yet you want to fine-tune or perhaps prepare for an athletic challenge. Or, you have new annual blood work results and you want to update your current program.
You know what you need to do to improve your health, yet you’re not actually doing it.
Do you relate to any of the scenarios briefly described above?
