Testimonial: “My health and wellness was headed down the wrong path. I was gaining weight and my blood sugar was on the rise towards diabetes. Medications were prescribed for high blood pressure and cholesterol. It was TIME to change directions or die.
Fortunately, I discovered Enhancing Health, a very knowledgeable, dedicated and caring group of health experts. With their guidance and tutoring I was able to establish goals for healthy living: 1. Lose weight 2. Eat healthy 3. Lower blood pressure 4. Lower cholesterol In 5 months on the Habits of Health program and supervised exercise with an Exercise Physiologist at Enhancing Health my target weight loss was achieved, blood pressure normalized, blood sugar lowered and no more cholesterol pills. Thanks to Enhancing Health, I am living happier and healthier. Dan Steele |
Before
In the Spring of 2009, at the age of 61, I was under heavy medication for a number of health issues, seriously overweight, fatigued, miserable and feeling myself aging rapidly. My primary care doctor told me to lose twenty pounds and referred me to a nutritionist and a physiologist for help. I managed to avoid the help for another six months, but I wasn't getting any better on my own. A reluctant appointment with the nutritionist eventually led to a sensible 1600 calorie per day diet and a weight loss of 15 pounds in three months. I eventually hit a wall with that plan, and still had a long way to go, so I turned to Steve and Lisa Collett at Enhancing Health. Following a fitness assessment, Steve recommended that I work with Lisa on the Habits of Health program to regain momentum with my weight loss program. The rest is history. Beginning in January of 2010, I proceeded to lose another 40 pounds over the next four months, an average of 2.5 pounds per week with very little change in my level of physical activity. Yes, the best thing about it is that I feel so much better every minute of the day. The bonus is that my blood pressure has dropped from 120/80 to 100/70 with half of the previous level of medication. I think that my doctor will take me off of blood pressure medication altogether in the near future. I have also cut my acid reflux medication in half without ill effect. My total cholesterol dropped from 143 prior to the start of the program to 116, and triglycerides dropped from 266 to 106.

With my doctor’s approval, I have cut the dosage of my cholesterol medication in half. We plan to monitor results and eliminate the medication entirely if the cholesterol and triglycerides levels remain within a range of the current values. It has now been three months, since I transitioned from the strict nutrition program, and I am maintaining my reduced weight level by sensible meal planning. It wasn't easy, but it took more patience than will power, because the meal plan is effective. You can lose weight and get proper nutrition at the same time. Lisa was always very supportive as my coach and motivator! I am currently working with Steve and making great progress on a strength and conditioning program. I feel 20 years younger! Oh, I'm still aging....but at a reasonable pace.”
