How many times have you heard someone say they want to “live a healthier life”? The answer is likely – too many to count.
How many times have you seen the same individuals begin, fail, and begin again? For many, this start-stop cycle lasts forever.
The problem with lifestyle change is it’s not just one behavior. It’s a bundled term encompassing many, many different behaviors that, when done together, support the goal of “living a healthier life.”
That’s why lifestyle change is so hard. It requires reinforcing changes that build on top of each other.
At Alterra Health, we address the “in between” – here’s why.
For the past decade, our team of health and wellness professionals has watched this unrelenting cycle continue over and over again. People visit the doctor, complete training sessions at the gym, commit to tennis lessons… Only to end up right back in the same place.
The problem? Life happens outside of those appointments and outside of the walls of the gym.
Life happens in the “in between” – it’s what you eat, how you move, your mental state, your support network, your foundational knowledge, and your daily habits. It’s what happens in these moments that makes all the difference.
How do we define 360° holistic lifestyle and wellness?
Our philosophy at Alterra Health hinges on one key concept: empowerment.
We don’t want people to be reliant on dietitians telling them what to eat, when to eat, and how to eat it. This model is unsustainable, as proven by the endless cycle of fad diets and training programs over the years.
Alterra Health’s 360° approach to lifestyle and wellness is about empowerment. We want to empower people to make their own decisions and build those reinforcing habits one-by-one to support a healthier lifestyle.
360° lifestyle and wellness is about having the tools and knowledge to recognize in the moment how to address the challenges that arise with nutrition, mindset, movement, self-care, and recovery. And then having the accountability and support to follow through.
We don’t solve lifestyle care with one coaching call, one meal plan, one game, or one questionnaire. We solve lifestyle care by reinforcing every angle and habit – the 360° approach.
