Aspire Wellness

Health is our first and best defense! In the past year, through the world’s COVID-19 experience, we all have realized and been reminded that HEALTH is our first and best defense. Here at Aspire Wellness I believe that one of the first and best places to begin our pursuit of health is by how we feed and fuel our bodies. Food is our best medicine and weight management is healthcare. We are grateful daily by the positive outcomes we have the privilege to witness when our clients simply change what they eat. Some of these outcomes have been reduced inflammation, reduced or eliminated need for prescriptions, improved sleep and energy, improved memory and focus, improved mobility and increased activity, improved self-esteem and best of all, reduced risk of many diseases and illnesses. This is achieved by reducing their BMI, reducing their risk for metabolic syndrome by improving their insulin resistance. What is metabolic syndrome? According to Mayo Clinic, metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. NHLBI also notes that conditions such as fatty liver disease, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), gallstones, and breathing issues (such as sleep apnea) play a role with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome, or insulin resistance, can contribute to severe high blood sugar, severe low blood sugar, heart attacks, stroke, kidney disease, eye problems, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and discussed in the media today, poor outcomes from COVID-19.

The good news… is we have an opportunity every day, every meal, to improve our health, until we don’t. When we address our health with food as our medicine, our results may be curative through improved health. When we address our health (often caused by a poor diet) with medicine, our results may be management of poor health. When you learn to live at a healthy weight and BMI, you often not only reduce risks but eliminate the onset of health concerns.

Here at Aspire Wellness, we have the privilege every day to encourage our clients to pursue their best health. We have a meal plan that works for both weight loss and long-term weight stabilization. We have an amazing team of experienced compassionate coaches. Our clients have said: “It’s holistic and empowering.
