Former Morbidly Obese Executive Becomes Health Coach
West Orange, NJ (PRWEB) April 27, 2015 -- Weigh to Think, LLC (http://www.weightothink.com) launched an integrative health coaching practice. The focus is on helping obese and stressed professionals optimize their health and well-being.
Sharon Lewis founded Weigh to Think, LLC (http://www.weightothink.com) as a result of her own very personal experience, losing over 115 pounds through a multi-pronged approach. Her experience ignited a passion to work with those who are obese as well as those experiencing stress in their busy professional lives – two areas that she has had direct personal experience with. According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.9 billion adults were overweight in 2014 – 600 million of them were obese. Obesity is generally preventable, with lifestyle changes and supportive environments. Stress also has a major impact on both emotional and physical health.
Sharon completed her integrative health coach (IHC) professional training at Duke Integrative Medicine, part of the Duke University Health System (http://www.dukeintegrativemedicine.org/). She holds an MBA and has had over 20 years of executive leadership experience.
Having spent a lifetime ranging from overweight to morbid obesity, coupled with stress from demanding professional roles, Sharon finally took it upon herself to become healthy – inside and out. “Transformation part 1” incorporated an exercise physiologist, a registered dietician, mindfulness, the gastric sleeve surgery, and a great support system. “Transformation part 2” included training at world-renowned Duke Integrative Medicine to become an Integrative Health Coach so that she could help others realize their personal optimal health and well-being and take steps toward achieving their goals for a healthier and happier lifestyle.
Linda Smith, Director of Educational Programs at Duke Integrative Medicine, states, “Our coaches help to make positive changes for health and well-being attainable for their clients. Our program provides them with a framework based on the science of behavior change coupled with skills that can yield long-term health and wellness benefits.”
