The Power of the Healthfit 4 Life Program

Written by: Krista Reader

Many believe personal health is the most valuable asset we possess.  More and more of us are increasing our awareness on diet and lifestyle.  Our quest to live happy and healthy lives for in important for and in support of the needs of our loved ones.  If you seek fearless health, vibrant energy, and the optimal solutions that empower you to reach your health goals, keep reading.  Much of what we experience today (food industry, social pressures, time demands, etc.) can make our health goals very challenging, but we are finding a better way.  It is our goal to not only continue to educate our clients and followers on the importance of making your health a priority, but we have developed an industry leading program to better help you with your goals.

If you are still reading, you are part of a growing section of the U.S. population that is in fact, becoming more health conscious.  Confirming this higher level of awareness, the Gallup™ researchers have embarked on a long term project that rates and monitors the overall health-related status, beliefs, and behaviors in the U.S. They call it the Well-Being Index™ and since 2008 our nation is getting slightly more health conscious each year.

For further evidence of heightened heath awareness (and advances in pharmaceutical therapy), we can look to the health statistics from the Center for Disease Control (CDC).  Data here represents that over the last 15 years, fewer Americans are dying because heart disease, cancer, and stroke (the 3 leading causes of death in the U.S.)  .
While the overall health landscape for Americans looks promising, it is important to also consider the state of obesity and diabetes, both of which can be greatly attributed to lifestyle choices.  Although the rates of obesity are slowing, 68% of U.S. adults over the age of 20 remain overweight or obese .  Additionally, the fastest growing population of obesity is our youth, which has more than tripled in last 30 years .

Even though we see a slow, but positive trend in the right direction, it is still essential that we continue to provide and utilize even better, more innovative solutions to make an even bigger impact against unhealthy lifestyles.

Outlined below is an element of why we believe our nation still suffers from high, dangerous, health related issue statistics.

Let us examine one of the most prevalent ways you are treated in today’s medical system.  For many of you, your current health strategy follows something similar to….

             ….You go to your physician for your annual physical exam.  Physician administers normal blood test to review your current cholesterol levels, triglycerides, blood glucose level, blood pressure, lung function, weight and body composition, other inflammatory markers.

As it turns out, you may not be in perfect health.  Appropriate medication is prescribed along with general recommendations for exercise and diet.

From there you may decide to finally take advantage of the gym membership you’ve had since college but have only used a dozen times and you start a self-guided regimen you got from a popular fitness magazine.

You start ordering more salads at restaurants.  Or, maybe you up the ante, and hire a personal trainer that keeps you accountable.  Trainer will make sure you don’t hurt yourself on the machines, and hopefully designs you a program to increase fitness and lose weight.

Most likely, your trainer will never actually speak to your physician to review your medical situation and ensure that your program is customized to your needs.

Best case scenario, you stick with exercise and diet program for an entire year.  Your weight is down, and you’re feeling fit and confident for your next annual physical exam with your physician.  As a result, your health metrics have improved and your physician gives you a clean bill of health.  Job well done.

But, the common scenario that we all have experienced is that  your fitness and nutrition regimen is hit-and-miss throughout the year.  You go back into your physical exam not really knowing where you stand from a health perspective.  As it turns out, you’re still not in perfect health.

At Personalcare Physicians, we believe there is another way.  We have created a program that provides a new option that produces significantly more “best case scenarios” and the results you desire.  Our Healthfit 4 Life program is designed for the health conscious person that is serious about fixing or improving their health.  In this program we design a customized program that is tailored just for you and is under the guidance and direction of your personal physician.    We use a team approach, leveraging your medical history against your physical goals; all supervised by one of our Healthfit 4 Life trainers.  We will not only develop your plan, but we are here for you throughout the year to help monitor, coach, and adjust the program as necessary.  If you are ready for a new solution and to get serious about your goals, please give us a call at (949) 706-3300 or contact us to learn more about this industry leading program.
