Health & Wellness Coaching is a process of delivering advice, strategies and a plan for success for what is needed for you to live a better quality of life.
Why is Health & Wellness Coaching important?
Chiropractic care alone (while very important to help you function at your best) is not all you need to maximise your health and express your full potential.
Health & Wellness Coaching incorporates all of the advice, ideas, homework, rehab strategies, exercises, stretches, lifestyle changes and recommendations we make for you – everything that is NOT the clinical application of chiropractic care.
Some of these ideas challenge the accepted wisdom of traditional healthcare!
This approach is focused on sharing the Optimal Life Keys.
This archive contains a range of blog articles and resources that are part of the information we deliver within our Health and Wellness Coaching service.
There are seven (7) Optimal Life Keys which combine to recommend changes and/or improvements to areas of ‘healthstyle’ including ideal neurological function, nutrition and internal chemistry, movement, brain function (thinking, emotion and more) and social interaction.
They also underpin the need to understand, identify, eliminate or counteract the toxic loads or deficiency states which may be found in how you are living life.
This is about helping you understand how to ‘do’ life better, helping you prioritise and implement changes that can manifest this better function and quality of life.
The so-called ‘western’ or industrialised nations of the world have long struggled with high levels of preventable illness. According to World Health Organization statistics the majority of population death occurring in these countries results from a very particular cause. What is responsible for 75% of all deaths in Western nations? What is responsible for the … Read more
The key to any shift toward health (homeostasis) and happiness is personal change. By realising that some (or many) or our current behaviours (including the environment in which we choose to live and the stressors we choose to accept or endure) are causing adaptation and a resultant shift AWAY from homeostasis – toward illness, sickness … Read more
Lifestyle choices, not genetics are by far the most profound causes of illness, sickness and dysfunction affecting our society today. It is useful, in fact necessary, to begin to look at genes with different eyes – to see them as a cause of health and ideal function (if given the biological needs to achieve this) … Read more
A primary concept we want to myth-bust through Health & Wellness coaching is the impact of genetics on both our health, our illness and more broadly, our lives! Commonly, our society assumes that genes control our lives and the risk of genetic illness is high. This reliance on genes-as-cause of illness and on family history being … Read more
The Wellness Practice™ (a program developed by our colleague Dr James Chestnut) has defined the 3 Golden Rules of Personal Change. This is all about creating personal change in our lives without pressure or feelings of failure. It is also about getting away from a ‘cold turkey’ mentality as regards making changes in one’s life, … Read more
Omega-3 is a class of fatty acids that are beyond ESSENTIAL for vibrant, extraordinary human health. They are essential because we cannot manufacture them ourselves from other fat sources, and we cannot convert vegetable sources very efficiently – our enzyme systems aren’t setup for this purpose. Fat is a critically important nutritional requirement for your … Read more
At Noosa Junction Chiropractic we argue that all stress can be classed as either a toxicity or deficiency (or both) – children’s health now suffers from such high levels of these stressful stimuli that the impact as individuals and as a population segment to stark. We know the impact of obesity. We know that what … Read more
Levels of internal acidity are normally kept within very tight confines because this impacts cellular function to such a great degree. This is one of the clearest examples of ‘homeostasis’ in the human body – where products are leached from bone to balance out acidity if it rises too high. Our bodies are SUPPOSED to … Read more
Glyconutrients are important small sugar molecules linked to both proteins and fats that play vital roles in our body’s function. Sourced from fresh plant foods primarily, they are essential for healthy cell function and moving toward an ideal life. Glyconutrients exist as specific combinations of sugar molecules (often just single sugars by themselves – mannose … Read more
Nutritional guidelines, like any form of evidence are based on research. However the paradigm within which the research is undertaken will determine the value and/or validity of the answers given. It is the view of Noosa Junction Chiropractic that the current nutritional guidelines recommended by many governments around the world (and often supported by the … Read more
