WE’RE IN YOUR CORNER

How Wellness Coaching Can Help You Meet Your 2020 Goals O ne of the most common New Year’s resolutions is a commitment to eating healthier, exercising, and losing weight. One study even found that 71% of people commit to this goal each new year. But actually meeting the resolutions we set for ourselves is easier said than done. In fact, according to Inc.com, only 8% of people who set New Year’s resolutions actually achieve them. So, what makes it so difficult? Perhaps we are setting unrealistic expectations for ourselves, or maybe we realize the goals we set in January change come February. But for many people, the issue may be that they just simply don’t have the right support to achieve their goals. At The Wellness Studio, we believe in a holistic approach when it comes to your goals. We don’t believe leading a healthy lifestyle begins by changing one aspect of ourselves. Instead, we have to approach this goal holistically. Included in that is offering support and encouragement for our clients! Our nutritional experts will support you during each step of your weight loss journey, and when you feel that New Year’s motivation waning, we can lift you up! As our platelet-rich plasma treatment expert Denise Dial says, “Of course, you can get to a healthy weight doing it on your own, but having a buddy or coach — or coming to The Wellness Studio for a loving push — can make that hill seem like a bump in the road!” And science backs us up. According to a study by the American Psychological Association, participants who sought help from coaching or a wellness group lost an average of 10 pounds, compared to self-help-focused dieters who lost 3 pounds. According to another study, published in Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, methodological weight loss that focuses on a holistic transformation was the most effective way for a person to keep the weight off.

Meanwhile, heat a small saucepan to medium-high, and whisk together vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then turn down to low simmer, letting sauce reduce for 15 minutes. 4. Coat cauliflower in glaze and reserve extra for basting.
