Life Well Balanced & Houpt International

What trends are shaping the health and wellness industry right now? I think it is a shift from normal western medicine and a lot of people are starting to wake up and want to work on themselves physically, spiritually, and mentally.

How do you approach holistic well-being with your clients or audience? We start with the mindset, focusing on awareness and your thoughts.

What challenges do you see in helping people sustain healthy habits? Understanding that it is a lifestyle change not a quick fix or a one size fits all.

How do you tailor programs for different fitness or health needs? Listening to what people really want. What is the actual outcome they desire. If thy want to lose weight, the question is why? How do you want to feel? What is the reason behind it?

What role does technology play in supporting wellness today? It can be a double edged sword. There are great benefits but also some shortcomings.

Can you share a story of transformation you've witnessed? I’ll share my persona life. I used to abuse alcohol and implemented the changes I speak about to overcome that. I went from alcohol abuse, being broke, out of shape, upset with myself and lonely, to being married with a family, being the happiest I’ve been. With other people I’ve seen that shift in awareness and mindset to start taking back control of their reaction to life, being more present with family, taking the time for themselves, setting boundaries with companies and people.

What motivates you in this industry every day? Knowing that something I share can help at least one person shift, one couple build better communication and connection, one person make the decision to make the change they know they’ve been wanting, one person taking back control of their health.
