Can You Get Healthy Over Age 40? Yes, You Can Lose Weight and Feel Great at Any Age. Special Guest: Holistic Health Coach- Michelle McCoy

Today on War on Weight, I have Michelle McCoy from the Treasured Wellness podcast. Michelle is a certified Holistic Health coach and specific passions are: Adrenal Fatigue, Auto-Immune Disorders and Spiritual Health.   I’m super excited to have this conversation with her and talk about the foundations of a healthy life and the goal of optimal health for women over 40.

When I listened to her podcast, I was like YES, YES, YES!   She spoke my language and reiterated so many of the basic health principles that are the foundations of the program that helped me lose 56 pounds*, OPTAVIA.  There are many ways to get to optimal health and I love having conversations and learning different ways to get there. 

 

Michelle shares some key ways women over 40 can get to optimal health by putting just a few  healthy habits into place.    I love the wisdom she brings to the show today and how it connects the habits of health I put into practice in my life to finally win the war on my weight.

 

In the book Habits of Health, Dr. A states “a key study was published in the Arch of Internal Medicine. They evaluated over 25,000 people and concluded that by adhering to four simple lifestyle factors, you can reduce your risk of developing major chronic disease by 80%!

Those lifestyle factors are: • No smoking • Have a BMI less than 30 • Perform three and a half hours a week or more of physical activity • Adhere to dietary principles such as a high intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grain bread, and lower your meat consumption Optimal and Ultrahealth™ Guidelines.

Here are the key parameters we’re aiming for:

• Systolic blood pressure 110–95 or less Diastolic blood pressure 75–60 or less
• Body mass index 24.9–19.5 (around 20 is ideal; no less than 18.5) Body fat 10% for men; 17–23% for women
• HDL (good cholesterol) 50–70 mg/dl
• Fasting blood sugar 75 mg/dl

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times, this book is GOLD!  It’s why I give a free copy to my clients with their first order because I don’t want my clients to miss the magic of the program.  These books take you from diet mentality to lifestyle change. I have a passion to serve women and help them get to optimal health, so I’m here with resources to help you get to your optimal health whether it's a program I coach or another amazing coach that I have met along my journey.
