weight
management
HealthReach is a proven method
of successful weight management that is built
on the twin pillars of knowledge and support.
There is no calorie counting or forbidden foods.
There are no gimmicks - just real and lifelong
results.
You attend a weekly group or private consultation
at your local HealthReach Clinic where a trained
specialist will identify the root causes of
your weight gain. You will learn how to make
simple dietary and lifestyle changes that will
give you a healthy weight forever. Everything
you need to know is shown to you in easy to
follow visual tutorials. Your progress is accurately
monitored by ongoing measurement of body fat
and muscle mass as well as your weight.
A visit to your local HealthReach clinic costs
just €12 per week and a typical weight
management programme takes 12 weeks to complete.
The Course
HealthReach is centred on a 12
week corrective body mass composition and weight
management course. The 12 weeks are broken down
into 4 separate phases of 3 weeks each, education,
awareness, tracking and practice. These themes
run in parallel each week with the primary focus
being on the key theme for that current phase.
Understanding body mass composition is an educational
process, altering diet is an awareness process,
monitoring energy output is a tracking process
and implementing change is a practice process.
There are others who have either been through
each phase and can give you advice and encouragement,
or you can buddy up with people who are going
through the same challenges and phases. There
is tremendous support for HealthReach course
participants from the consultants, other course
attendees and from the group clinics if you
want to attend them. The HealthReach course
is designed to deliver outstanding health promotional
benefits and as a bonus, clients get their bodies
back into their perfect shape.
Phase One
- The Learning Phase
When you attend a 12 week course,
you are constantly supported and challenged
about your understandings of how your body works
and how to get the best possible results to
get it into and keep it in perfect working order.
The learning phase concentrates on getting you
to take responsibility for your health and to
learn how to get your body back into its perfect
shape. Biological, physiological and psychological
understandings are broken down and these three
key educational areas are placed at the core
of the HealthReach Course. These are complex
areas in their own right however we are only
concerned with the elements that establish a
new base for creating and maintaining a healthy
body. All of the necessary required information
is presented in easy to understand visual presentations
and the presenter is trained to deliver this
information in an informative, interesting and
memorable way.
Phase Two
- Awareness
Awareness of how you got to where
you are and how to get to where you need to
be have to not only be believed and understood
but also have to be adopted as part of everyday
life. Phase two, works on your new found understandings
and beliefs and moves you to make simple but
effective lifestyle alterations. This phase
allows you to explore new ways of approaching
dietary and exercise changes. It is an exciting
process that allows participants to effect change
without having to commit to something that they
are not sure about. HealthReach Awareness phase
tutorials are full of interesting facts and
exercises that participants find extremely useful
in making the necessary lifestyle and dietary
changes that before were unsustainable or even
unthought-of. These tutorials are used to reinforce
new understandings and to experience the benefits
of change without having to make a commitment
to change. This is such a unique and misunderstood
approach, however, that participants have made
lifestyle changes that they thought would have
been impossible up to then.
Phase Three
- Tracking
Phase three is all about monitoring
the implementation and the progress and the
maintenance of change. It’s your control
centre; it identifies the key areas of your
body’s own health status monitors. It
shows you how to find them and use them. The
tutorials explain how to monitor your body’s
health status and in doing so allow you to focus
on the areas that need most attention. Monitoring
is a very important part of any health promoting
activity. You are shown how to identify the
signals that your body provides to ensure that
you are always on track in reducing your risk
of damaging your body. The material provided
here is of great benefit to participants because
it elicits the real reason for getting your
body into shape and that of course is to live
a long and healthy life. The weight issue begins
to take a back seat and the promotion of and
the drive to have a healthy body come to the
fore. Why focus on being 4 stone lighter when
you are at four times the risk of having a heart
attack or stroke?
Phase Four
- Practice
Yes, practice makes perfect and
if at first you don’t succeed try and
try again. Nothing could be truer….. but
a note of caution, be careful what you practice
as it may become a way of life. HealthReach
tutorials are designed to visually assist you
with making any new found belief a part of your
every day life. Understanding how we make change
or hold on to old habits is all part of challenge
of creating a healthier body. Practice is another
word for conditioning and that is what practice
is, conditioning you to do something without
thinking about it. Riding a bicycle, walking,
talking, eating are all things we practiced
to do and we do them the way we were taught.
Our tutorials ask us, was what we were taught
the right thing to practice? Well these are
just some of the areas that are explored in
simple to understand non-complicated way. We
are only concerned with the health and shape
of our bodies so we work exclusively with understandings
that achieve these results for us. The tutorials
are designed to assist with gaining an understanding
of how, what and when to practice. The power
of practice is very powerful force and the HealthReach
Clinic is designed to get this power to work
efficiently and effectively for you.
