Why Choose At The Root Health Coaching?

I was frustrated! I had lost more than 35lbs, it took me a long time and it wasn’t easy, but I did it. And then I stopped, and it came back, and it was demoralizing. 

I would love to tell you that I have been yoyo dieting most of my life, but that’s not really true.  The truth is, I have been overweight for most of my life and at times I did something about it and was successful, but most of the time I told myself I just didn’t care. 

But when I took this last trip to find my healthy weight I was ready! I mean, it wasn’t just about looking good.  It was more about being tired of hiding, feeling ashamed and living in guilt for my lack of discipline and willpower. 

And then something happened to me that I can’t really put in words (although I will attempt it here).  I hit a wall! It felt like something that happened overnight, like I just woke up one morning and there was something wrong with me .But after a year of deep exploration i  I discovered that simply wasn’t true.

In January of 2022 I woke up one morning crying.  I had no idea why, I was just sad and depressed and crying.  Ok, I get it, it happens that way sometimes.  But it happened that way with me for 6 weeks.  Every day for 6 weeks I woke up with tears in my eyes, feeling lost, lonley, confused and defeated.  This was serious and I knew I had to take the steps to find out why.

I began to search for a way to heal.  It was a bumpy road at the very least and I had no idea where to start. So I began by connecting with trusted friends and sharing with them this emotional breakdown I was experiencing.  

I was offered many different paths to healing at that time.  Nutritional healing through a health program I committed to, emotional and mental healing through individual counseling, groups and healing prayer. Spiritual healing through a community of like-minded believers who walked with me until I found my footing. Physical healing through walks, yoga and outdoor activities that allowed me to soak up the sun and heat of Arizona. 

It took me a year, and I can’t say that I am completely free, but I can tell you that I have a much greater understanding of the “why” of what happened to me. 

Let me start by saying that I am  not a mental or medical professional.  But I have learned from plenty of them and what I am going to share in the paragraphs to follow have come from a vast knowledge of people, like me, who care about the wellbeing of others and want to see you living a blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) life.

The first discovery I made was that health was not flat, it is multidimensional.  What I mean by that is there are many dimensions that make up a person who is wholly healthy.  For instance, we may have plenty of money, but if our mental health is not stable we will find no joy.  We may have perfect physical health, but if we are angry or unforgiving our body is still experiencing stress that will cause ill health internally. 

Health cannot be addressed singularly, it is a complex issue that must be addressed at the root, and this takes work. It takes a lot of digging, a lot of investigating, and a lot of discovery.  And, yes, it can seem intimidating, but it is always possible and it is always available. 

My challenge to you today is this: Are you willing to look “At the Root” to find the solution? If so, we are here to help.  At the Root coaches are available to help you find true freedom and discover true peace if you are willing to dig deep.
