A Way To Finally Release Those Extra Inches So They NEVER Come Back!

A Vision Of Future You...

Imagine if you will, making it through the holidays while maintaining or even reducing your waistline.
Feeling confident that you can eat in any situation without making choices that you later regret.

Having plenty of energy to do all the things that you need (and want) to, and feeling fully capable to move in every way that you desire.

Wouldn't that feel fantastic -- actually taking care of yourself like you DESERVE?

You'd notice that you'd be lighter on your feet, you'd feel AMAZING, and your family would rest easier knowing how much healthier you're becoming!
 

Unfortunately, that hasn't been true for you for a LONG time.

Something always seems to get in the way, whether it's grandma's delicious cooking and subtle attempts to steer you away from healthier eating habits, your crazy schedule that makes it so hard to even THINK about making tough changes, or the Inner Critic that is SO ready to remind you that you can try, but you'll fail "just like you always do."🤮😢
The one thing all of these scenarios have in common is … you guessed it -- YOU! Your brain has been conditioned by years of practice to follow the same unproductive patterns, and it can be really hard to break those patterns without help.
Thankfully, there IS a way out of this trap!

Your Current Life

You know the scenarios: you're getting ready to head out the door and your neighbor knocks, holding the plate full of those holiday cookies that you LOVE. You hurry through a few minutes of small talk and thanks, and continue getting ready, but first you've gotta try just ONE piece (or maybe two) of that delicious fudge. You finally make it to the party with the kids, but the tray of veggies looks so boring compared to that charcuterie board with your FAVORITE Spanish cheese that you never buy for yourself, so you indulge in a few pieces, and find that it goes REALLY well with the heavy pour of wine that your host offers.
 

Maybe you're fine in social situations, but once you get home and everyone else heads to bed, you crack open the secret stash of Oreos, SWEARING you'll only eat 3 but eventually looking down and seeing an entire row GONE!

Or MAYBE you've gone to great lengths to make sure that you ONLY have nutritious whole foods in the house, but your partner shows love by cooking and baking and it's hard to say no to seconds or dessert EVERY day.

By the time you make it through the holidays, you're not shocked to discover that you've got to STRUGGLE to fit into your favorite pair of pants, and instead of feeling on top of the world when you wear that killer top, you're wondering who DIDN'T notice the belly bulge that seems SO obvious to you.

My Story...

Early in my career, as a personal trainer, I was CONVINCED that I knew the SOLUTION for all those who struggled with their weight and fitness level, and if my clients would only DO WHAT I SAID, their problems would be solved! As I gained a bit more experience I learned that my favorite exercise-based solutions weren't always a good fit for every person.

Then, as learned more about nutrition and taught families about it, I thought that the REAL solution was just for people to just eat meat & vegetables and stop with all the processed foods. Unfortunately, it turns out that sometimes processed foods are what people KNOW or have access to, and not everybody likes veggies, or wants to eat meat. So that wasn't really the answer, either.

After that, I began to learn about the profound effects that stress and poor sleep have on folks' habits, and I thought "well if they'd just go to bed earlier, everything would be fine."

Then I had a kid.👶🏾👶🏻

Two actually, within about a year and a half🥴 -- and I got smacked in the face with just how HARD it can be to get enough sleep or deal with ALL the stress that comes from a complex family life (or any life, really).

At every step, I've noticed how a one-size-fits-all solution just does not ACTUALLY fit all!

Although we live in a society that tells us that every problem has a simple solution, and every desire can be met with a straightforward approach if we will only TRY hard enough, the truth is that changing your body can be really hard, and how to do it isn't always clear.

What worked for your sister or that dude at the office may not be right for you, and what worked in your 20's may be ineffective in your 40's and 50's and beyond.

These realizations have pushed me to develop more-effective ways to help people like YOU that are struggling to achieve the health that they so DEEPLY desire.

The Eric Starkweather Coaching Solution 

After so many years of watching my clients and loved ones struggle to live their fullest and best lives, I've learned how VITAL it is to find health solutions that work for the PERSON, not just the PROBLEM.

It's great to have a lot of knowledge about how this or that aspect of health works, but if you can't successfully apply it to YOUR life, then that knowledge doesn't do you much good, does it?

While I have enjoyed gaining expert-level knowledge in physical fitness, nutrition, human behavior and brain science, I know that none of that stuff matters if I can't help people like you make USE of that knowledge!

By leaning on this combination of hard-earned wisdom and knowledge, and my STRONG belief that YOU are the #1 expert on YOU, I'm able to help you move forward towards improvement on even the STICKIEST of health challenges that you might face.
But how? When you're facing such pervasive habits that KEEP pulling you back into your old patterns of struggle, HOW can you break those old and POWERFUL destructive patterns, and elevate your life to the levels that you so deeply desire?

The answers, my friends, are an Out-of-Brain experience, the Four Pillars, and the Toddler Walk!

Weird, I know, but stay with me…
 

The Out-of-Brain Experience
As we said before, the one factor in common with all of your problems is YOU. Not to be too harsh, but at some level, anything that you struggle with is hard because of how you approach it. No matter how complicated or simple the problem may be, your approach is ultimately what determines your level of success with that which challenges you.

Trying to change your approach seems really logical, however it's not always so easy. Whenever you even THINK about a different approach, you still have to do the thinking in YOUR brain, so it's really easy to run into the same old dead-ends that you always do.

Kind of a brain-melter🥴, huh?

So if you want to change your body but you're finding resistance in your brain, why not use a different brain?

Why not find a way to get outside of your body/brain and into someone else's brain -- someone who DOESN'T have the same-old roadblocks to your success that exist in your brain!

By using someone else's brain, you can gain new perspectives that may have never occurred to you, and find quicker ways around those roadblocks that have held you up for years.

But who's brain 🧠could possibly do that for you?

I humbly offer -- MINE!😁

As a Health and Well-Being Coach, I am excited to listen DEEPLY to you so I can UNDERSTAND your needs. I'm trained to help you gain clarity on that which is difficult for you, and to support and guide you towards the solutions that will work for YOU. Not only do I know lots about various physical and mental health conditions, I also understand what it takes to achieve BETTER health, and I'm trained to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to go. Whether you need to know more, or simply to better execute what you already know, I've invested hundreds of hours in training and thousands of hours in practice to be able to help you grow into your healthiest self.

Yes, but HOW?
How does MY approach differ from that of every other Wellness Guru out there on the Internet?
Well, maybe not that much, or maybe a LOT!

Here's where The 4 Pillars and The Toddler Walk come in.

The Four Pillars
My philosophy is pretty simple: There are four key areas that have major impacts on your health (Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, and Stress), and each of these Four Pillars deeply affects the others. As you work to improve your overall health, you'll eventually improve each area, and over time, your overall health will reach higher and higher heights.

The Toddler Walk

These improvements won't happen overnight, but rather in tiiiiny increments. As you take each baby step to improve, you'll gain confidence in your ability to make changes, so the more and more small steps you take, the more easily you'll seek out and find areas where you can successfully change.

Just like a toddler learning to walk for the first time, you'll start with halting, awkward movements and fall down a lot. Over time, you'll notice that you're better able to take coordinated steps in the direction that you want to go, you'll be better at getting back up when you fall, and you'll gain confidence that you can walk or run towards any goal that you desire.

Some Proof...

How do you know that this approach will work?

Well, why not listen to what someone else has to say about working with me?

Kristin was trying to manage a serious health condition that required her to make wholesale changes to her diet and exercise regimen, and it was critical that she released a certain amount of bodyfat within a few months.

Kristin said:
"Eric: I felt that you always had the right words of motivation at exactly the right time. I felt you heard each and every voice in the group and made sure that, when we would talk, to congratulate us for our successes and encourage us when things weren't going well. You motivated everyone to want to be the best and made sure we knew that you were behind us 100%. When you parted ways with [online weight-loss company], I never got a coach like that again."

Now maybe personal testimonials don't mean much to you, and I appreciate that.

However, if you pay attention to the news, you'll see that Health Coaching is being adopted by more and more:

businesses (like SalesForce, Intuit, and Nike),

health insurers (like Aetna and Humana),

and healthcare providers (like CVS Health and Baycare) -- because it WORKS.

Even the American Medical Association -- the organization for America's doctors -- offers guidance on how to incorporate Health Coaching into physicians' practices -- because Health Coaching is a proven way to help people get healthier!

Trained coaches like me are helping people all over the world to achieve better health outcomes at lower cost than the old ways of trying to get healthy.

What's Included???

So what do you get when you work directly with me for 1-on-1 coaching?

Here are some of the many features and benefits that you'll enjoy as my client.

•  Weekly Sessions (video or in-person)
  •  45 minutes each week to work with me on whatever it is that has you stuck.
•  A trusted professional who actually LISTENS to you!
  •  No matter how much knowledge I or anyone else has about a certain health topic, YOU are the only one who lives in your body, so YOU are the ultimate expert on yourself. I make it my business to pay close attention to your concerns and challenges, and ESPECIALLY what excites and motivates you, so that you get the help that makes sense for YOU.
• Whole-life and Targeted Assessments
  • Sometimes it really helps to take a metaphorical (or literal) snapshot of your current situation. Whether that's a broad overview of self-ratings in all areas of your life, of just a few measurements and "before" or "after" pictures, assessments can really help you stay on track. As my client, you'll have the opportunity to complete helpful assessments at several stages.
• A Clear Vision of Future You
  • One of the most powerful tools for making changes to your life is a clear vision of the life you want in the future. We'll work together to create and refine your vision, so you'll have a clear picture of what you're aiming for, and WHY that's important to you!
• Goals and Plans That Make Sense
  • Making lots of changes in your life can be overwhelming as you try to figure out how to make progress on multiple fronts. With me as your coach, you'll get help in setting goals that are challenging but still achievable, and in creating a roadmap for pursuing the all changes you seek. By creating a strategic plan with my help, you'll be able to move forward on a few priorities at a time, and know that you have a plan in place for eventually handling all of the things that you're not quite ready to focus on.
• Accountability and Support From Someone who GETS you.
  • For those days where you need support, and the other days where you need a nudge (or even a loving shove) forward, you'll have me on your side -- someone who understands how hard it can be in the moment to grow, but who ALSO understands how amazing it feels to look back and SEE that growth. I'll be there to help you experience more days of growth, and fewer days that feel like they're more than you can handle.
• Resources!🎁
  •  Upon purchase, you'll gain access to your own secure login, where you can access our session notes, as well as any forms or educational resources that I share. You can download this information, or keep it in your own personal library at EricStarkweatherCoaching.com -- it's up to you!
• Expert-Guided Education
  • When you want to learn more about nutrition, movement, sleep, or stress management (or anything else related to your health), you want to be sure that the information you take in is sound and evidence-based. I'll help you understand how to curate what you read and watch and listen to, so you can be sure you're getting the best-possible information for your needs. Whether I deliver the info, or just help you find it, you'll be confident in what you're learning.
• Easy Online Scheduling
  • Just login to your account and choose the dates and times that work for you!
• A Long-Term, Holistic, Empowered Approach!
  • Since LIFE is not simple or unchanging, you'll see the most success when you learn how to make sustainable changes that stick. That means, for some, a shift in mindset towards building resilience and adaptability, and for others, more practice in building habits that reflect an already-positive mindset. With me by your side, you'll notice that you'll not only make progress towards your goals, but you'll improve your mindset and your ability to sustain habits that keep you moving in the direction that you want for the long term.
