Lately, I have been asked multiple times what it looks like to work with Ignite Health Coaching. I am here to tell you!!
Ignite Health Coaching is just me, Jordan!
I work with individuals one on one, who has one goal, IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH! My client’s goals may either be to lose some weight, or they’re worried about chronic diseases that their family members may have. I customize programs to help individuals build a sustainable healthy lifestyle that will meet their goals. I can do this in person if you are in the Denver metro area or virtual via zoom.
I got into health when I was getting my bachelor’s degree, choosing to get my degree in Exercise Science after watching my two grandfathers battle Type II diabetes, and in the end, lose to it. I decided I could not become overweight, or I would follow in their footsteps and get Type II diabetes. I wanted to learn how I can prevent it in my life, my family members life and if I could help more people beyond that I would have found my purpose, which is exactly what I am here to do. After I graduated college, I went into the corporate world and learned firsthand how difficult it is to stay in shape, and not become overweight. After years of being unhappy with my body shape, and continually gaining weight while being stressed and unhappy with little energy to help myself out, I decided it was time to utilize my knowledge. I knew exactly what I needed to do to help myself gain energy and be less stressed as well as stay in shape. I choose to make it a mission to go back to my original goal of not becoming overweight and help others with their like-minded goals. I do this by holding people accountable for their actions, their food choices, or their lack of movement. I don’t deal with the excuses, we all have life going on around us, but putting our health first will help us be more productive, have more energy, and be able to spend time with the ones that matter.
The whole process starts with a conversation, we discuss your goals, your current lifestyle, and the obstacles that are keeping you from your goals. We discuss what it will take to meet your goals, what the time frame may look like, and discuss where you are today. Each of us is different and what someone can do easily another person may not be able to fathom doing that. For instance, one person may really like running and would like to get back into running shape, whereas some people absolutely do not want to run unless someone is chasing them. I make every program customized so what I do and what I enjoy is not what you need to do or enjoy doing. Each of our lives looks different, we want health to be a sustainable enjoyable thing that you just do. Once we discuss all the ways we can meet your goals, we will investigate programing. I like to think of programming more as education. We can work together for as short as 6 weeks or up to a year, we can meet weekly or biweekly, whatever works for your schedule, budget, and needs. After a maximum of a year of working together, the goal will be for you to be able to live a sustainably healthy lifestyle, with visits with me when life throws a curveball and we need to get back on track or adjust the lifestyle. Once you have made the decision to work with me, we start to plan! We can start with a meal planning session and grocery shopping, build a base education on nutrition. We can dig into macronutrients and calories and how that looks for you. We can discuss building habits and dig into changing lifestyles. We can investigate movement and exercise and how they can fit into your lifestyle and even look into how to become more mindful and how to productively deal with stress. With every program being customizable, each week we can change gears, or we can dig into specific topics. We all have different needs and wants, and learn in different ways, your health is yours and we can build a lifestyle any way you want it.
