Fountain of Wellness – Smart Food for Fast People – Lansing’s Healthy Nutrition Club and Wellness Center

Fountain of Wellness is Open !!!

The Fountain of Wellness is now open at 535 N. Clippert St., in Lansing’s Frandor Area.  The Nutrition Club and Wellness Center has three basic phases of fostering healthy lifestyles: a smoothie shop in the front offering healthy meal options; a meeting room for holding community Weight Loss Challenges, as well as other community activities; and smaller rooms for conducting one-on-one Wellness Coaching.

Occupying more than 1,200 square feet, the Fountain of Wellness is the most recent entrepreneurial venture of Personal Wellness Coach Driscilla McCourtie and PWC Mark Ives.

“Our primary goal is to offer the community healthy meal options,” explains Driscilla.  “We will be open for breakfast through late lunch hours, Monday through Friday.  Our principal offering will be tasty and nutritious smoothies, along with blended herbal teas and aloe beverages.  The high-protein smoothies (a complete meal) will come in many flavors and include a variety of fruit options.  Additional menu items are being considered but are still in the planning stage.”

The Frandor facility, just north of Wendy’s Clippert Street driveway, will provide an additional location for the community-service Weight Loss Challenge activities, which Driscilla and Mark are currently conducting in South Lansing as well as Mason.

“Each Weight Loss Challenge includes nutrition classes,” notes Mark, “as well as the prospect of winning significant prize dollars, all to motivate participants to develop healthy lifestyles.”

Weight Loss Challenge classes typically run once-a-week for 12 or 13 weeks, giving participants a reasonable period of time to impact their weight-management activities.  With the nutrition information provided, many participants are able to significantly improve their dietary habits.

“Changing habits is not easy,” says Driscilla.  “The best way is to gradually tweak your habits; a little less of those things which are adversely affecting your health or weight-loss efforts, a little additional of those dietary items needed to be more healthy, along with following some basic tips on achieving a reasonable amount of exercise.  It can be amazing how just small adjustments to your lifestyle can result in major improvements in your weight-management efforts as well as your health.”

“Not all of the persons we are coaching need to lose weight,” comments Mark.  “Some need to gain weight, especially muscle mass.  Others have health issues, mainly caused by poor dietary choices, a common problem of Americans today.”

Free wellness coaching is available to all Weight Loss Challenge participants as well as Fountain of Wellness clients.  “Our wellness coaching is provided by qualified individuals who have been professionally trained,” emphasizes Driscilla.  “The initial wellness evaluation includes an electronic bio-impedance body analysis.  Persons should not eat for three hours before the analysis.”

The Fountain of Wellness is a private club and wellness-coaching community center; walk-in visitors are welcome Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment (517)989-0426.  For more information on the Fountain of Wellness or to receive a coupon for a free smoothie with a wellness evaluation, call (517) 256-7204.
