Understanding Obesity and Wellness Coaching 

Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by an excess of body fat. It's typically measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI), with a BMI of 30 or higher considered obese.

Chronic stress can lead to weight gain through both behavioral and physiological mechanisms. When stressed, many people turn to high-calorie comfort foods. Additionally, stress hormones like cortisol can promote fat storage, especially around the abdomen.

Wellness coaching offers a holistic, personalized approach to managing obesity by addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of weight management. Through one-on-one sessions, a certified wellness coach works with you to create sustainable lifestyle changes, including healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and strategies for managing stress and emotions that contribute to weight gain. Unlike traditional weight loss programs, wellness coaching empowers you to set realistic goals and develop a positive relationship with your body, mind, and food. A coach serves as your guide, offering encouragement, support, and tailored strategies to help you achieve your health goals.
