Have you found success in life… but not in health? Read on…

When I first met Bill, it was at one of our Wellness Dinner Seminars. He was an imposing figure. He was well-dressed and looked like someone who took his life and career very seriously. Dan exuded success. And he also spent the entire seminar with his arms crossed looking at us with skepticism.

He was with his wife, and it quickly became apparent their attendance that night was her idea.

A few days later, the couple came in for a consultation. Bill still seemed skeptical and asked a ton of questions. As we talked, it came to light that he was a smart, successful engineer. The couple had built a great life together. Their kids were successful. In every part of their lives, they were thriving.

Well, at least in everything except their health.

When he first came to us, he had a long list of health problems. He was on medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and multiple meds for a severe case of acid reflux.

In this regard, Bill isn’t unique. We’ve had many highly driven, highly successful people come through our programs. They’ve spent their lives building a legacy, but as with everything in life, it’s always at the cost of something.

And most of the time? That cost is their health.

So, Bill and his wife signed up for our Healthful Evolutions program (mostly at her urging)… but there was one condition.

If he didn’t see results quickly, he was out. Among other concerns, he hated vegetables and didn’t see that changing. His wife could continue, of course, but if he didn’t make significant progress toward achieving his health goals, he would quit.

I agreed to his conditions, but I knew he wouldn’t just stay in the program… he was going to hit every last health goal he’d set.

Why?

Because people like Bill—people who’ve spent their lives working hard to get what they want—thrive in an environment where there’s a clear path forward and concrete milestones along the way.

And Bill did exactly that.

He followed his program to a tee. He charted his success by tracking three main things: Weight loss, his pant size, and all of his blood work values.

By the end, he’d gotten off of his blood pressure, cholesterol, and acidic reflex meds, lost 30 pounds, and went down two pant sizes.

And now he loves vegetables!

He felt so good that at the end of the program, in fact, that he gave us a video testimonial…. which is a long way from the mega-skeptic he was when he started! (Watch his story here! )

The Executive Health Coaching Program

Out of Bill’s success—and that of others like him—we’ve created a new program: The Executive Health Coaching Program.

It takes the proven processes and strategies that have helped thousands of people regain their health and happiness in our Healthful Evolutions program and tailor-fits it to the fast-paced, high-pressure life that comes with success in the business world.

And that’s just one example…

Across the board, the results we’ve seen have been amazing!

And I am so passionate about The Executive Health Coaching Program because I love helping people get healthy and revolutionize their lives.

As a fellow Type-A personality, I understand that kind of life. You don’t have a thousand hours to spend trying to get healthy on your own. You’re too busy trying to build an empire, create something of lasting importance, do something amazing with your family… or maybe just planning for the next staff meeting.

I get it.

You need a plan that’s customized specifically to the high-pressure, fast-paced life you’re living. You need clear direction… and clear, measurable milestones to chart your progress.

That’s what this program does: It takes the success you’ve already achieved in life and leverages it in a way that will get you true, lasting health.

The Bottom Line

So, here’s the thing…

The Executive Health Coaching Program works.

It’s not easy. It takes work. But if you want to achieve the level of success in your health that you’re experiencing in all the other areas of your life, I challenge you to take the next step.

Here’s why weight loss should never be your main goal when it comes to health…

When it comes to getting healthy, it seems like there are a lot of options out there. The diet industry itself, in fact, is worth over $60 billion according to the latest statistics. That’s $60 billion worth of potential answers to the question: “How do I lose the weight… and then keep it off?”

The important word in that last sentence, though, is “potential.”

Because, we all know two things.

First, “weight loss” doesn’t automatically mean “health.” There are plenty of wildly unhealthy skinny people out there. For a lot of people losing weight is going to help their overall health, but weight loss itself doesn’t equal health. As a practicing cardiologist, I see thin people with heart disease all the time.

Second, most “diets” fail. Sure, you may lose a little weight up front, but it doesn’t stay off. As long as you continue on the diet, you’ll drop the pounds. But the minute you go back to your real life, the habits you’ve built over the course of your lifetime, the weight is going to come back.

Repeat Customers

The companies selling you “diet” products know both of these things. And their marketing addresses both issues.

It attempts to deny the truth of the first part. They want the image of the skinny person in their ad to be what pops up in your head when you think “health.”

And as far as the second truth goes? They’ve pushed all their chips into the middle of the table counting on the fact that you’re going to have a tiny bit of success, ultimately fail, and then come back and buy their products or services again.

The diet industry is built on one thing: Repeat customers.

This fact alone has been the main driver for what we do here at the Wellness Training Institute.

Because here’s the deal…

We are not in the weight loss business.

We are in the business of health.

We know that nothing happens overnight, and we’ll never make promises to that effect.

We are in this for the long haul.

Our mission is to give you the knowledge, the training, the tools to create the habits that will get you healthy and… keep you that way for the rest of your life.

The Shame Loop

Every member we’ve ever had come through our Healthful Evolutions program has tried a ton of these solutions before they ever even hear about us.

The list is a long one:

Joining a gym.

One of the thousands of weight loss programs out there.

Fad diet after fad diet.

Anything they can do to lose weight…

But every time, they fail. And then they feel like failures.

But here’s the thing…

It’s not their fault. It’s not your fault. The failure lies squarely on the diet, or the surgery, or the gym membership, or the TV dinners in the frozen food section of the supermarket pretending to be at all nutritious.

The companies behind each of these things, again, aren’t looking for you to succeed. And they tend to make you feel like you will fail without sticking to their program.

They want you in a perpetual shame loop.

Here’s What We’re ABOUT

That’s exactly the opposite of what we’re all about. We think you’re worth too much. We think you deserve to be healthy and happy and whole.

We want to guide you through the process of getting healthy. We want you to succeed. We want you healthy.

And it’s our mission to be there every step along the way, giving you whatever you need, for as long as you need it.

Again, though, it’s all about what you’re willing to put into it. When it comes right down to it, your health is yours.

We’re just the guide… with a plan that works.

And we’d love to go on your health journey with you!
