Approaching 60, I had accomplished so much yet my weight was always a problem. Now that problem was encroaching on another important aspect of my life. I was fortunate to be taught the information you are about to read first-hand by Stevyn. Having incorporated her wise counsel into my daily habits for the last two years, I lost 90 lbs., kept it off, and have become fit. Now, I have better focus and more energy than at any other time in my adult life.

It’s not often you come across someone who combines relevant content, conviction, and compassion so seamlessly. Your session made a significant impact, and the positive feedback from our advisors and staff speaks volumes. We’re excited to build on this and incorporate it into our platform for both our advisors and their clients.

I’ve lost about 40 lbs & 6 inches around my waist in under 6 months. It has been fun to see my metabolic age drop by 6 years! My follow-up bloodwork was particularly satisfying… all my borderline numbers are now well within healthy range. I’m at my college weight and back in my skinny clothes that have been in storage for many years.

It has changed the way I think about food and exercise. The WellthPlan provided me the framework to create a daily, weekly and monthly plan to becoming healthy. It also provides helpful tools (the portal and meetings) to assist me to make adjustments when needed.

I knew a lot when I came in. I had done a lot of physical training, and I paid attention to eating. But this program put everything together, and that that was definitely what I was looking for. I'm happy, satisfied, and it exceeded my expectations.

This program gave me the tools to make better decisions and have control. Finally, I am putting some science behind a plan that's realistic and repeatable to maintain health. Doing it with my spouse was invaluable.

Last Thursday, I attended the Financial Planners Ireland annual conference. It’s one the key events each year and a great opportunity to catch up with peers and friends, as well as hearing great speakers. The highlight for me was listening to thegirlnamed Stevyn . Stevyn is a health expert for financial advisors. Her hope is not only that we take on board her advice, but that we share her knowledge with our clients. How often do we see people plan financially for their retirement only to spend a large part of it in ill health. Good health is often the missing piece of a successful retirement plan. Stevyn talks about how we can extend our health span and reduce our sick span. Incredibly for a health expert, I don’t think she mentioned diet and exercise once! In her opinion, you must have foundation in place, before you go on diets. Her approach was refreshing, and she left us with actionable tips to improve our own health and wellness. I note some of these below. Get regular blood tests. Wear a health and fitness tracker to monitor your steps, beats per minute and your sleep patterns. Measure your waist in inches (from your belly button) and divide by your height in inches. It should be less than 0.5 Split the day in half. If you have breakfast at 7am, finish eating at 7pm giving your body 12 hours fasting period every day. The first hour in the day and last hour before bed are vital to set yourself up for success. Drink water first thing in the morning. Look at daylight within 10 minutes of waking. Try and walk after each meal, even if its just 15 minutes. When sitting for long hours, try and remember to move every hour, even if it’s just a 1-minute walkabout. Fall risk is a huge issue as we get older. The more times we get down and up off the floor during the day the better. If you can do this without your hands, you’re doing great so keep it up!! Finally set your self up for a good night’s sleep. No food within 3 hours of sleep, no work within 2 hours and vitally, no blue screens within 1 hour. I hope I have done her justice but suggest you checkout this podcast if you are interested in hearing more. kitces.com/blog/stevyn-guinnip-financial-advisor-client-health-wellness-healthspan-retirement
