And a recent survey disclosed that one in five people with a legal problem experienced stress or emotional difficulty as a direct result of dealing with the legal problem: 39.1 % of respondents aged 18 to 35 and 61.5% of respondents aged 55 to 65, experienced physical health problems as a result of the legal problem. In other words, if you are facing a serious or difficult legal problem, it is possible that you will also experience stress or health related problems. The Lessons . . .​ if involved in a serious legal problem,​ take steps to protect your emotional and physical health.”​

What can having a health coach do for you?

Things like: poor nutrition, lack of sleep, stress, blood sugar instability, and gut dysbiosis all directly affect our thoughts and emotions. There can be other factors as well, toxins and pharmaceuticals that disrupt our hormones and over-burden our livers and kidneys. Together we can look at your top 10 most likely brain/mood depressors and come up with action plans to empower your body’s healing

 

Live Better – It helps to have healthy ​routines ​in place ​so that you can save your energy for other things that need your attention. Health coaching can help you create routines that safeguard your sleep, diet​,​ mental health, and energy levels, and keep you​ connected with positive support from activities like relaxation, time with friends and family, and time for yourself and your​ hobbies. ​Coaches can also help you avoid becoming dependent on crutches that exhaust your adrenals​ over time–things like excess caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and ​late night TV binges​.–and can help you replace these with choices that truly support your health, energy, and mental capacity​.
