A Personalized Approach to Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors, including waist circumference, triglycerides, glucose and blood pressure that together create an elevated negative effect on your employees’ health. It’s a growing health condition, with nearly 50 million Americans living with metabolic syndrome, causing an increase in employer health spending and health-related productivity loss costs.

There are clear benefits to employers who address metabolic syndrome. Employers who have healthier employees have less lifestyle-related health expenditures, and more healthy and productive employees. Employers can help employees manage or eliminate their condition by a carefully executed risk management/reduction strategy that includes a supportive work environment with a health-enhancing culture, and dedicated interventions. A personal health coach is effective in helping employees manage or eliminate health risks associated with metabolic syndrome.

TotalWellness offers Lifestyle Management Health Coaching that is designed to guide participants through the stages of change to reach their overall goal and encourage permanent behavior change. Empower your employees to live more healthy and productive lives by offering health coaching as a personalized approach to managing metabolic syndrome.

Health Coaching Testimonials

TotalWellness started offering health coaching last year and we are excited to report that our program has been a great success so far. We are truly impacting people’s lives! We recently received some feedback from our clients and here’s what they had to say about their coaching experience:

“It was so helpful to have another person in my corner to listen and offer much needed advice. I still think about her and her awesome text messages she would send to me to help keep me on track. Being accountable has been such a huge motivation and working factor for my success.”

“There were times when my view of how I was doing was not realistic (being too hard on myself) and Beth was able to put things into perspective and talk me though some of what was going on in my head. I couldn’t have accomplished all of my goals without my coach and this program. I am so thankful, you changed my life!”

“I feel I have found a friend. It is so helpful to be accountable, and have someone who has your health and well being in mind.”
