Why Choose Heath?

Why would someone want to be unhealthy?  That’s a great question.  Some might say that it’s ridiculous to think that someone would want poor health.  You would think so, right?  Your health is something that you have major control over, yet so many people refuse to believe that.  Growing up with a hypochondriac  mother, I developed the mindset at a young age that I would not be a perpetual whining attention seeker who conjures up ailments and begs for a miracle drug to occur her;  thriving only off of the pity of anyone who would listen.  In the back of my mind, I’ll admit I did fear disease or early death.  After my second child was born I even took out a huge life insurance policy on myself, then years later dropped it because I couldn’t afford it.  It wasn’t until the past five years maybe that I really stepped back and looked at what a difference my diet, exercise, and sleep were making and what a noticeable difference they made on the way I looked and felt.

I have said it before and you will hear it again:  I didn’t actually absorb how unhealthy most Americans are until I started selling life insurance,  I realized just how many of those unhealthy Americans are simply doing it to themselves when I became a personal shopper back in 2020.  It certainly isn’t easy to change a bad habit, but the first step is acknowledging that you have a bad habit!  I have customers that I have shopped for, for four or five years now and have become close to.  For ages I have wanted to take some of them aside and say “Honestly, is this crap all you ever eat?  Would you like me to teach you how to cook?”  As awesome as that sounds, it probably would have done nothing but lose a good customer for me.  Some people already know they have a bad diet but for many reasons, chose to ignore it.  Others would get offended just because.  Finally though, I am at the personal turn in the road where I have earned the right to call someone out and give advice.  A lot of them might not want to hear it, but for those who do my help could be life-changing.  Some people have the courage and discipline to make big changes and other’s need to take small steps with big encouragement.  What I have come to know is that what you eat is possibly the biggest factor in your current and long term health.  The services I offer now are  shopping, cooking, and lifestyle coaching oriented.  I am also working on some cookbooks and a mobile kitchen to use for giving classes and possibly selling food out of.  I am planning on living another forty years so hey, the possibilities are endless!
​My advice for today:  Always eat the rainbow!
