Just THIRD: is the opportunity for one-on-one Wellness Coaching by Personal Wellness Coach Driscilla McCourtie, PWC Mark Ives and their team of dedicated nutrition and healthy lifestyle specialists. The Weight-Loss Challenges, Nutrition Classes and one-on-one coaching are often conducted at other locations such as a local business, where the employer knows that a healthy workforce is a more productive workforce, as well as community locations such as churches and schools which provide convenient meeting places for area residents. Most of
the people who come to the Fountain of
Wellness are
concerned about being overweight. However, we also have solutions for
those who are underweight! “The Weight Loss Challenge sessions are non-profit events,” notes Mark. “The entry fees are used only for prize moneys and overhead expenses such as advertising the activities. Each Weight Loss Challenge session includes a Nutrition Class, which, along with the prospect of winning significant prize dollars, helps motivate participants to develop healthy lifestyles.” Weight Loss Challenge classes typically run once-a-week for 12 weeks, giving participants a reasonable time to see results from their weight-management activities. With the nutrition information provided, many participants are able to significantly improve their dietary habits and set achievable weight management goals. “Food is the medicine we take three
times a day,” according to Dr. Joel Fuhrman on his PBS special. “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 Coach
Driscilla passes out healthy food information during the Nutrition Class
of a Weight-Loss Challenge session. Videos and demonstrations are
also part of the instruction provided. Classes range from “Excess
Sugar Health Issues” to “How to Read Labels at the Grocery Store.”

‘Standard American Diet’ has an appropriate acronym,” says Dr. Fuhrman, “because
what Americans habitually eat really is SAD!!!” With the explosion of Fast Food restaurants, the increase in highly refined or more-than-ever processed food, as well as significant increases in the levels of saturated fats and sugars, plus the introduction of trans-fats (hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oils) into our diets, the incidence of heart diseases, cancers, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, etc., is dramatically escalating! “It IS
NOT more expensive to eat healthy,” emphasizes J.J. Virgin, a Certified

Dr. Amen is known as “The Brain Doctor” on PBS. When you strive to have a healthier brain following Dr. Amen’s advice, the rest of your body will ALSO be more healthy. Many following his “brain health” suggestions often lose weight. “Get rid of artificial sweeteners!” emphasizes Dr. Amen. “They fool your brain and you end up craving MORE sweets!” “Polished Brown Rice IS NOT significantly healthier than polished White Rice! Look at the package; if it doesn’t say ‘whole grain’ it doesn’t count! Similarly on breads – even ‘multi-grain’ breads – if it doesn’t say ‘100% Whole Grain’ or ‘100% Whole Wheat’ you are probably just paying for a marketing ploy, not necessarily a healthier food!!!” “I
‘dieted’ myself to nearly 200 pounds!” reports Coach Driscilla. “I was trying practically every
weight-loss diet I could find. Even if one seemed to work, it only
worked for a little while and then I’d gain my weigh back, plus more!
At one point our family doctor reviewed my blood panel and exclaimed, ‘I
don’t know what you’re doing, but STOP IT RIGHT “Then I found a person who knew something
about nutrition, not just counting calories or eliminating carbs or fats from my diet. I quickly began to lose
weight,” she recalls. “I also had more energy and definitely felt
healthier. My new Wellness Coach knew how to design a diet customized
for ME. She knew how to avoid the pitfalls of boring and bland
foods. Not only was I eating healthier, I was also enjoying exciting
and tasty new flavors. Soon people were coming up to me and commenting:
