Six Components of a Wellness Lifestyle
Medical Health
Traditional medicine in the United States focuses on recovery from illness and disease. A holistic approach to health focuses more on why you may be sick – what elements in your lifestyle can make you prone to disease or can prevent your full recovery.
In western medical traditions, we go to the doctor when we’re sick. Doctors actually get paid when their patients are sick. In eastern and Chinese medical traditions, most medicine is preventative. Doctors are paid to help their patients stay healthy.
We can help you learn to spend your money on health care rather than on sick care.
Holistic Nutrition
We are all aware that our diet affects our health, but you may not be as familiar with specific plans for eating well, combining foods, healthy shopping, and using supplements to fine tune your nutritional balance.
We are eating ourselves to death! More people in the U. S. die from dietary related illnesses each year than from war, accidents, and homicides combined!
We
can help you learn to cook and eat
natural whole foods that promote
health and wellbeing.
Functional Fitness
Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good. That in itself is reason enough to develop a regular exercise habit. But in addition to the endorphins, exercise can help you look good, gives you more strength and energy, and slows the aging process.
Nutritional supplements can boost our immune system by 10-15%. Exercise and nutritional supplements together can boost the immune system by 255%.
There is a difference between fitness and functional fitness. Let us show you the way.
Weight Management
Most people try to lose weight by exercising more and eating less. These are great steps, but there may be other pieces of your wellness puzzle that will prevent you from losing weight unless they are corrected first.
Toxins in our body are stored in fat cells. Dieting can temporarily shrink the fat cells but the toxins prevent them from going away completely. Until you get rid of the stored toxins, you’ll always struggle with excess body fat.
We can help you see how different elements in your lifestyle – besides what you eat and drink – may be affecting your weight.
Stress Management
Stress can play a role in disturbing your sleep, reducing your productivity, and hurting your relationships with the people you love. On top of all that, it is one of the things that may contribute to overweight for many people.
As many as 80% of North Americans suffer from stress-related health conditions. Autoimmune problems, fibromyalgia, depression, frequent infections, and many other common ailments are caused or aggravated by stress.
Note: Exercise is great for us, but it is also a type of stress. If stress is a major issue in your life, you may need to manage the stress before you will be able to benefit from adding exercise into your routine.
We can help you develop habits that will reduce and control the stress in your life.
Wellness Home
Many of the products you use daily – for cooking, for personal hygiene, and even for aesthetics – may actually be harmful to you. The air in your home, the water in your pipes, even the materials your house is built from may be preventing true wellness for you and your family.
We actually absorb more water pollutants through our skin during a shower than we do through our stomachs when we drink. This means it may be more beneficial to have pure shower water in our homes than pure drinking water.
We help our clients create a
healthy, stress-free environment at
home that can prevent sickness and
will promote health and wellness.
We offer personalized
sessions to empower you to make
necessary changes in your life.
Personal Wellness Programs
At Broader Concepts our goal is to
help you make changes that will
increase your wellness and improve
the quality of your life. We offer a
variety of services to help you
develop a Personal Wellness Plan. We
can help you focus on specific areas
of wellness that are critical in
your life at this time. We can
provide information, we can evaluate
your current lifestyle, and we can
make targeted suggestions for
changing your wellness habits and
patterns. We can also offer ongoing
support and encouragement as you
work through this challenging and
exciting process.
The first step in learning how to
live a healthier life is our Initial
Wellness Consultation. During this
consultation we learn about your
current lifestyle and we help you
identify your most vulnerable areas
and most critical needs.
Depending on your goals and level of
commitment, you can then choose one
or more of our Wellness Programs.
You can:
We
also offer a variety of ‘A la Carte
Services’ to help you meet your
individual wellness goals and your
goals for your family.“
Wellness Action Plan
After
the initial consultation, we will
develop a Wellness Action Plan for
you with personalized
recommendations in each of the six
areas of wellness. We will meet with
you to discuss your plan and to help
you start working on at least three
specific goals from your plan.
Family Wellness Plan
The
greatest gift a parent can give
their child is to teach them how to
lead healthy and productive lives.
By helping your children develop
habits of wellness early, you can
influence their health, happiness,
and success throughout their lives.
Fitness Program
Our
fitness programs help you develop a
traditional exercise practice –
cardiovascular training, weight
training, core training, and
flexibility. We also work with you
on Controlled Fatigue Training,
which trains the body to resist
fatigue and improves your overall
performance in strength, speed,
velocity, and sustained power.
Nutrition Program
Our
holistic nutrition program will help
you and your family learn to cook
and enjoy foods that nourish your
body and contribute to overall
wellness. We can also help you focus
on proper nutrition for maximum
weight loss. Once you reach your
weight loss goal, we will help you
design a maintenance program to
ensure your continued success.
Wellness Home Package
We
offer three Wellness Home Packages.
Our Platinum Package helps you
evaluate your kitchen setup,
cleaning products, hygiene products,
and the water and air in your home.
We will help you find ways to
enhance your sleeping environment
and the lighting, sounds, and smells
throughout your home. Our Wellness
Home Packages help you optimize your
home for stress-free living.
Individualized Wellness Packages
If you
have a specific health concern that
is not addressed by our standard
packages, we will customize a
package for you.
Personal Wellness Consulting
You
can have ongoing coaching – support,
advice, and feedback – whenever you
need it. Our personal wellness
consulting means that help is just a
phone call or email away as you work
through the changes and adjustments
toward a healthier lifestyle of true
wellness.
A la Carte Services
We can help you make sense of food
labeling, health food terminologies,
and supplements so that an
overwhelming shopping trip doesn’t
stand between you and a healthier
lifestyle.
Bride-to-Be Boot Camp
We can
help you get into perfect shape
for
that perfect day
Wellness coaching for
pregnant mothers
Starting with your prenatal care and
with the nursery environment, we
will help you establish wellness
patterns from the very beginning
that will affect your child
throughout his or her life.
Lifestyle Presentations
We
are always glad to introduce the
idea of wellness to groups and
organizations.
The Gift of Wellness
Help someone you love by giving them
a Broader Concepts Wellness Package!
Corporate Wellness Programs
The
cost of health care continues to
skyrocket. Businesses also struggle
with serious negative impacts of
employee absences due to illness.
Many companies and organizations are
looking for ways to help employees
improve their health and overall
wellness. Broader Concepts offers
Wellness Education Programs for
businesses and other organizations.
We can customize our ongoing support
to meet a wide range of business
objectives.
The important question to ask is not “How much does it cost?” but instead “How much does it cost in the long run not to have a wellness plan?”
