Lifetime Wellness Center owner Michele Feckoury counsels a patient from the relative safety of his car.
s Coweta residents embrace a new normal after Governor Kemp declared a Shelter-in-Place order on April 1st, many of them share a similar concern: with gyms closed, how do they keep from packing on the pounds? “So, when this is over, are the producers of ‘My 600lb Life” going to find me, or do I need to reach out to them?” A Newnan woman joked on Facebook, as several Cowetans admitted that they, too, were coping with their anxiety and cabin fever by snacking more than usual. Fortunately, for those of us worried about gaining weight during the quarantine, one Newnan wellness center has adapted to social distancing procedures and is going above and beyond to keep its clients healthy while they are home-bound. Professional weight-loss coach Michele Feckoury, owner of Lifetime Wellness Center of Newnan and authorized Ideal Protein Clinician, admits that the “virus is terrible, but hopefully it will teach us how important our health truly is”. Feckoury continued, “Good health absolutely begins with how we eat. It’s how we fuel our bodies.” The Ideal Protein program is a scientifically-backed, 3-phase weight loss system designed to use one-on-one nutrition coaching

hrough May 21, $1 from every sales transaction at Ace Beer Growlers will benefit Bridging the Gap. Owner Jason Kanner said many donation sources for the community outreach have dried up in the wake of COVID-19 closures. That includes restaurants that have temporarily closed and the Atlanta Food Bank, which depleted its inventory in anticipation of a move to its new headquarters in East Point. BTG is now having to purchase items from grocery stores that once were able to donate items to the outreach’s food pantry but are no longer able to do so. Kanner said he has occasionally donated some overstock from Cow Eata Meat Co., the butcher shop he operates out of Ace Growlers and that local
churches like Foundations are helping out. He also has been in touch with some of his food suppliers. But contributions are down at exactly the time more and more resources are needed. “The number of people applying for unemployment is directly proportional to the number of people needing help from BTG,” Kanner said. “I wanted to help them out, because they’re getting clobbered with new families that need help.” He said he thinks the $1-per-transaction campaign will raise at least a couple thousand dollars, and additional contributions for BTG are welcome as well. “If people want to make donations, we’ll set the money aside for them,” Kanner said.

Wellness coach Carrie Tucker conducts a client consultation via phone.
to help people lose weight and keep it off by rebalancing their daily diet to eliminate their over-reliance on carbohydrates for energy. “The first phase resets the body to burn fat and resolve metabolic syndrome, and the second phase is about stabilization-building healthy habits and resetting a client’s entire mindset about food. When clients reach their goal weight, we move on to Phase 3, which enables them to maintain that weight loss and balance their lifestyle choices. The goal during maintenance is to teach clients to enjoy their lives and to enjoy food, while practicing balance and portion control.” “We don’t want anyone to feel deprived, to feel like any food is off-limits, because that’s discouraging and they won’t want to try, but we want them to learn how to optimize their individual diet for their individual needs and metabolism.” Feckoury emphasized that the key to her weight loss program is the weekly individual coaching she and her assistant coach, Carrie Tucker, provide- especially in this uncertain time: “Today, I’ve done 7 consultations by phone or Facetime, and most of what we’ve talked about is healthy ways to cope with the virus and quarantine issues. People need somewhere to express fear and other feelings that make them turn to food for comfort.” The coaching, counseling, and comfort Feckoury and Tucker provide have proven successful with clients who have tried and failed at other weight loss programs: “My initial consultation with a potential client is never meant to be a sales pitch. It’s really more an evaluation. Unless someone is ready to give 100% to this program, unless they’re all-in, unless they have a specific reason why they’re ready to lose weight, we’re setting them up to fail, and I’m here to see people succeed.” “That’s why it’s so important for clients to know that Carrie and I both have been there”, Feckoury explained. “We’ve both been overweight. There are so many people at home, eating the wrong food, feeling bad, and I want them to know there’s no shame- I’ve been there myself. I struggled for 15 years trying to lose the 25lbs I gained after moving to the United States from my home country of France. I was finally motivated not just by poor self-esteem, but by pre-diabetes and high cholesterol. Carrie became a coach after losing 50lbs on the program. We know
what it’s like”. “Carrie and I want people to know that we’re on their team. I don’t want them to be scared to tell me they are struggling. They need to trust me, and I need to trust them. “ When a client succeeds, Feckoury said, “they’re not the same person. They talk louder, they stand straighter, they just love themselves more, and it’s so fulfilling.” If you’re anxious about gaining weight while sheltering in place, Feckoury invites you to call for a free phone consultation. She is also offering curbside consultations: “A client will pull up and roll down their passenger window. I have a mask, and a chair and I sit outside the car and we just talk- six feet apart, for however long they need to.” Lifetime Wellness Center of Newnan is located at 26 Perry Street. For more information or to schedule your free initial consultation, call (770) 712-9475, or visit their website at http://lifetimewellnesscenternewnan.com.
THE DAYSPRING FROM ON HIGH!
“My visitation is here and near you now. I am the light in your darkest tunnel. Yes now, I am the day that springs forth from on high and you shall see the way of escape out of every trial.”
Prophetic Scripture
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. (Luke 1:78-79).
T
he Lord is the day that springs up from the darkness! No matter what you are dealing with or trying to sort through. God is always the light that leads you out of it. The reason we often have trouble following Him out is because we are too busy examining the darkness. We go over our trials, work problems, financial problems, health issues and family troubles again and again trying to figure a way out. We need to refocus our eyes on the Lord. He is the Light. He is the dayspring. The best part of it is that He is more than willing to shine the light and help you. Not only is He the Light, but He is merciful to give it to us. You may not feel like the light guiding you is very bright today, but you can get out of a tunnel with just a flashlight! It doesn’t take much to guide you to safety. Look for the light of God guiding you everyday, every moment, and in everything. Mercy is leading you out today!
Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank you for your mercy that is shining light upon me. Help me to see Your guiding hand in every situation. I make a choice to take my eyes off the darkness right now and I stand in the light of Your mercy! In Jesus’ Name, amen!
