I see this nearly every day in practice, the “over analysis paralysis” I call it.\u00a0 Never in recorded history has society had access to more information about health and wellness as we do today.\u00a0 At our finger tips in an instant, we have access to Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Blogs, books, magazines, multi level marketing products, internet guru’s like Dr. Joseph Mercola and Dr. Josh Axe, television programs from Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Phil McGraw, and much more.\u00a0 Most of these resources offer sincere health information at no cost; but be warned not everyone gives true healthy information (I have had many patients tell me their dietitian\/nutritionist suggested they drink soda!) and not everyone is sincere (some just want to sell books, multi level marketing, or gimmicks).\u00a0 Additionally, some of this health information is passed along from other sources, and much like the childhood game of telephone, the ideas and thoughts are passed along and often in the end there is little left of the original message and people are left confused.\u00a0 This is when the problems arise.\u00a0 I find many people will read something from one source which may be similar but yet different to the recommendations of another source, which in turn is similar but yet different from yet a third source and on and on; you get the idea.\u00a0 The more many Americans read, and learn, about health the more confused most get.\u00a0 And this, my friends, results in the paralysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First lets define these terms\nfor our discussion.  Paralysis is defined\nas the loss of muscle function of one or more muscles.  For our discussion lets define paralysis as a\n“lack of action”.  Analysis\nmeans to break a complex topic (like the health of the human body) into smaller\nparts to gain a better understanding.  So\nwhat I find is that many Americans over study health and wellness so much that\nthey do not know what is best for them, where to start, and how to implement a\nhealthy lifestyle.  The result is no\naction, no lifestyle modifications, and no increased level of health.  I mean, lets face it, Americans have access\nto all these resources, and yet the obesity and over weight population makes up\nnearly 70% of the US and has been steadily increasing over the recent years;\nand with increased weight comes decreased health, decreased quality of life,\nincreased disability, and increased risk of chronic diseases such as\ncardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter what I predict as the\nsolution.  There is a growing profession\nof people passionate for health that are being labeled as “Health\nCoaches”.  A health coach does for\nyour health, what a personal trainer does for your workouts.  A certified health coach is a wellness\nauthority, and supportive mentor, to help you cultivate a healthier lifestyle\nthrough eating, exercise, and managing stress and other behavior barriers.  It is necessary to learn how to implement\nwellness goals to live a sustainable healthy lifestyle without\ndeprivation.  That way these healthy\nhabits will become a natural part of life rather than being forced.  Like we have discussed multiple times through\nthis column you don’t have to go this journey on your own, there is a\n“we” in “wellness”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I must admit my bias\nhere.  My wife and I decided to become certified\nhealth coaches because we saw the need to bridge the gap between health\ninformation and those who need it.  At\nthe end of the day many Americans would benefit from someone who is passionate\nabout health, who is proactive in gaining the latest health and wellness information\nthrough seminars\/training\/education in order to simplify it, or boil it down,\nto achievable health goals and hold you accountable.  Our nation is in a health crisis that is\ncurrently not being addressed and is out of control.  Costs are sky rocketing at alarming rates;\nwhich in turn costs us all through government\/taxes and through insurance\npremiums.  In summary, don’t suffer from\nthe “over analysis paralysis”, don’t go the journey alone, consider\nconsulting with a certified health coach to help you remove the barriers to\nyour success (like an unhealthy lifestyle). \nRemember, when we travel the road to success barrier free, the road becomes\na much smother ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
