A Holistic Approach I hear it all the time when clients say that they just want to get started, just want to exercise, my nutrition isn't the problem. It's one of my favourites because that's when you can help the most. Yet it stems even further back than just even nutrition being a focal point to success. The reason why what we do works is because we take the approach that most people don't and that is where holistic comes into its own. So what does holistic mean. Well as quoting from our friend Wikipedia it is this: A holistic view means that we are interested in engaging and developing the whole person. You can think of this as different levels, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It's the concept that the human being is multi-dimensional. We have conscious and unconscious aspects, rational and irrational aspects. Now the big question is how does this help us to achieve our goals in a wide range of aspects, well its done very simply. Our success in getting results with weight loss back tracks to the very starting point of a persons behavioural style and working with a client on an emotional level. Next step is education for without that we are blind. The beautiful thing with this is that this doesn't just have to be for weight loss, this can be incorporated into everyday life. The benefits of having this approach on a parenting level, an employee or employer, working in team sports or singular is that you yourself will become a better person. More productive in what you do therefore yield more results. If we just take this approach into every aspect of life then we shall be living the motto of smarter not harder. As they always say the little 1% efforts will make all the difference and the more you do this the easier it becomes. It becomes a way of life and therefore a lifestyle. At the end of the day that's why we are here, that's what we are trying to achieve, a lifestyle change. Don't be the sheep be the shepherd and take control of your own destiny.
