In our last “weekly webinar” for the Certified Mental Wellness Coach class, we had a good discussion about “what pregnant women should be eating” – both for them and for their developing babies.

We also discussed what moms should be eating AFTER delivery – to help them with their MOOD and help them get back to their “pre-pregnancy” selves (stress resilience, hormone balance, baby weight, etc).

Here is a little video that unpacks some of that and provides some specific supplement recommendations.

What should a pregnant woman eat – and how should she supplement – to maintain her mood, energy, and resilience during pregnancy and after?

~5-6 million pregnancies yearly

~1 million women suffer post-partum-depression (PPD) and post-partum-anxiety (PPA) yearly (this is how much is reported, so the true occurrence is actually higher)

Pre-Partum Pack

•Nutrition  = VitaGBX + OmMega

•Constipation/Digestive  = Digestive/Probiotics

•Microbiome  = Mentabiotics

Post-Partum Pack

•Microbiome  = Mentabiotics

•Depression/Anxiety = Mood+

•Hormones = Ignite

•Weight  = Fit/Burn

Had another great call with our Certified Mental Wellness Coaches…

This week, we talked about the important “Burnout Survey” conducted by Deloitte (and how Certified Mental Wellness Coaches might be able to help) – and answered a lot of questions about immune support, leaky gut, fermented foods, and natural support for cancer and other conditions.

Here is the chat pasted below – and the video recording will be posted in Canvas in case you were not able to join live or you want to rewatch.

20:11:26 From Judy to Dr. Shawn Talbott(Direct Message):
(Sorry multi tasking) It depends on the company. No one addresses items within themselves and some bosses threaten if you are offline for too long (and accuse you of being lazy). Have experienced many people in mgmt have been taking out their issues on employees (toxic enviro). I would add that several ppl I know refuse to address their previous covid (asymptomatic or other) and refuse to follow up or pay attention to symptoms due to “covid news fatigue”.. thus secondary mental anxieties or blame games are at an all time high.

The HR programs for employees on paper look great but the practice is not happening, causing some to be laid off or lose bonuses .. if an employee tells ppl they need time or a nap due to fatigue.

20:11:28 From Georgia McDonald to Everyone:

Will there be replays?

I’ve been researching and writing about “burnout” (physical fatigue, mental exhaustion, and feelings of languishing) for more than 20 years. – and I’ve never seen the situation as bad as it is today.

I’ve also been researching and writing about the opposite of burnout – known as “vigor” (physical energy, mental acuity, and emotional well-being) – and natural ways to improve how we feel and perform.

Burnout statistics hit all-time highs during the pandemic – as workers shouldered more and more responsibilities (working from home, kids schooling from home, lack of distinction between work/home life, uncertainty about health/economy/etc) – it was a lot.

However, now that we’re firmly “post-pandemic” – we’re seeing burnout continuing to rise – especially as employers attempt to herd workers back into the office. As recent surveys suggest, many employees are resisting a return to “normal” in the name of good health.

A new report from consulting firm Deloitte surveyed more than 3,000 workers from the C-suite to managers to frontline workers – and found some very disturbing stats about the state of workplace well-being.

The bottom line is that most of us have work lives that are making us sick – mentally and physically.

Some key findings…

• In 2023, only 63% of workers rated their physical health positively.
• Up to 40% say a toxic work environment is harming their physical, mental, or social health. 
• Only about a third reported improved health from last year, across all categories.
• Just 42% say they have enough time for friends and family.
• Only 48% engage in daily physical activity, while 55% get under seven hours of sleep.
• 74% have difficulty taking time off or disconnecting from work.
• Unfortunately, a majority of executives are clearly out of the loop – believing that employee well-being is actually improving, with 77% citing better mental health for their organization.

Investments in workforce wellness have the potential to deliver outsized returns – but the short-sighted vision of many executives often make it difficult to implement meaningful programs (hint: chair massages, step challenges, and meditation apps won’t cut it).

Luckily, there are a few brave companies that are forging ahead. For example, Exos (performance enhancement company) launched a “burnout rehab” program that has been shown to reduce stress by 70%. Both Headspace and Calm have developed meditation and mindfulness tools to support HR teams. Connected device leaders, Whoop (stress recovery band) and Oura (sleep ring), have entered workplace wellness as well (I use – and love – both of these devices to support my own mental and physical well-being).

Beating Burnout?

Holistic approaches are in high demand – and are really the only way to effectively solve the problem.

As we’ve been doing with our Certified Mental Wellness Coach program (CMWC) – training people to think more holistically about how to improve body/mind performance – some of the big guys are getting into the act, with BetterUp, Journey, and Liberate using digital coaching to build more resilient teams. Bitewell recently raised $4M for its corporate “food-as-medicine” offering. And Enthea added $2M in December to make psychedelic therapy a workplace benefit. The Global Wellness Institute has identified health coaching as one of the most important wellness trends over the past few years.

The CMWC focuses on the new science of the Microbiome-Gut-Heart-Brain-Axis to improve mental well-being and physical performance. Numerous lifestyle interventions such as nutrition, movement, sleep, supplements, mindset, social connections, spending time outside, and exposure to water (blue therapy), plants (green therapy), and sun (yellow therapy).

The bottom line is that ~60% of workers are ready to leave their jobs because their mental and physical health is suffering – but that also means that ~60% of workers are also looking for a company that prioritizes their well-being. Most workplaces need a radical revamp that emphasizes work-life balance – that can create benefits for worker well-being as well as corporate productivity/profits. This also a creates a lucrative opportunity for coaches that can enable that shift.

We will keep the registration link open for one more day for the Certified Mental Wellness Coach – so last call for the July registration…

https://bestfutureyou.com/2023/07/05/registration-for-july-mental-wellness-coach-certification-is-open/

We just wrapped up our first “Weekly Webinar” for the Certified Mental Wellness Coach course (CMWC) – and I just wanted to share the discussion that we had in the chat box (pasted below)…

Registration for the July cohort of the CMWC will remain open until the end of this week (Saturday July 15) – you can see those details HERE.

Each week, we will have a 1-hour (ish) call where I will highlight new research and practice tips – and then answer questions about whatever is on your mind?

We record all of these calls and post them within the Marietta College Canvas platform where we hold the Certification.

As you’ll see from the chat chatter below, we had a lively discussion this week about artificial sweeteners, blood sugar balance, natural flavors, fasting, and much more…

I hope to “see” you in class one of these days…

13:47:43 From Judy to Everyone:
Replying to “I am waiting for pro…”

natural flavors are derived from actual fruits and sources, under specific federal declarations and guidelines. There are some items that can be alarming in a chemistry format (but note- it must be found naturally, etc) - where states like CA have regulations that are more strict - about residue of the extraction chemicals, etc. But also because of that, natural flavors are even more strict now. The odd items that fall under natural flavors are items that might be enzyme or further processed and derived from licorice, vanilla, stevia, even sugar--  while some are just natural fruit juices or even mushroom compounds.

We are excited to open registration for the next cohort for the Mental Wellness Coach Certification.

We are keeping the tuition as low as possible – so it will remain at $500 for as long as possible (but probably not forever) – even as we continue to add further enhancements to the course.

You can register here = https://swipesimple.com/links/lnk_bee924af

What does the course include?

11 primary educational sessions spanning ~16 hours of video education on all the lifestyle factors that impact our Mental Wellness (positive and negative), such as… 

Microbiome, Gut-Brain-Axis, Heart-Brain-Axis, Nutrition, Sleep, Movement, Supplements, Mindset, Metabolism, Hormone Balance, Aging, and much more…

Digital copy of “Mental Fitness – Maximizing Mood, Motivation, & Mental Wellness by Optimizing the Brain-Body-Biome”

Digital copies of multiple “special reports” from the Global Wellness Institute (GWI) on the Mental Wellness Economy, Health Coaching, and Lifestyle/Wellness Trends

Downloadable PowerPoint slides for each lecture (so you can create your own digital library)

Active Discussion area – think of this as your exclusive “sounding board” to ask your questions and get answers to help you build your coaching business and educate your clients and customers about the best products and programs to help them reach their Mental Wellness goals.

Our course has been approved for CEUs (continuing education credits) from numerous professional boards, including chiropractic, naturopathic, nursing, fitness/nutrition, and many others, including full-approval by the National Academy for Sports Medicine (NASM) and the Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA).

In addition to the CMWC being closed-captioned and mobile-friendly, we have also added a Printable Certificate of Completion (to hang on your office wall) to complement the unique Digital Badge awarded to all Certified Mental Wellness Coaches.

Next week, we will begin our Weekly Wednesday Webinars (Lunch & Learn at 1pm ET / Noon CT / 11am MT / 10am PT) – where we will discuss Science, Product recommendations, and Trouble shooting different situations related to lifestyle modification of mental wellness and physical health issues.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding a variety of expert interviews from experts such as Trish Barrus, PhD (10 Principles of Recovery – a positive psychology approach to addiction and life) and Emeran Mayer, MD, PhD (Gut-Brain-Immune Connection).

Our “in-person” CMWC costs $1,500 (2.5 days of training), but we will keep the tuition for the self-paced ONLINE version at a super-affordable $500 so we can continue to train as many Certified Mental Wellness Coaches as possible. 

More CMWCs means more people in the world will be feeling better with elevated mood, lower stress, sharper focus, higher energy, bolstered resilience, and superior sleep quality.

After registering, you will receive a payment receipt from 3 Waves Wellness – and within 2 business days you will receive an access link from Marietta College that you can use to start the course.

Every July 4th, I read the Declaration of Independence – a good reminder of why this great country was established…

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness!

I’ve had a lot of questions about registration for the July Certified Mental Wellness Coach (CMWC) class – so I just wanted to let everyone know…

Since this week is the 4th of July, a lot of the offices at Marietta College will be closed, so rather than having new students register and be delayed to get their online log-in credentials, we will wait until July 5th (Wednesday) to post the new registration link.

Lots of cool new content (including weekly webinars) coming in this next offering – so please stay tuned!

In a new survey from Charles Schwab Financial, more people define their version of being “wealthy” as having abundant health and well-being than having a lot of money.

When asked to characterize what being “wealthy” means to them, respondents overall mentioned their well-being (40%) more often than money (32%) and assets (26%). In 2017, the top response to what wealth means was money (27%). 

This new perspective is being called “Modern Wealth” – with nearly two-thirds (62%), saying that enjoying healthy relationships with their loved ones better describes what wealth means, and 70% saying that wealth is about “not having to stress over money” – versus having more of it. 

Surveys like this come at the perfect time, when so many people are looking for “meaning and purpose” in their lives – and at the same time also looking for “time freedom” and a healthier work/life balance. This is what we’re doing at Amare – developing products that improve health (mentally and physically) – providing a business opportunity that emphasizes flexibility and entrepreneurship – and encouraging people to build meaningful businesses around helping others through personal connections.

In a very cool new study, researchers from Columbia University showed that a low intake of plant compounds called flavanols can lead to age-related memory loss – while supplementation with higher levels can not only slow memory loss, but can also improve overall memory performance (by an average of 16%)!

Flavonoids and other polyphenols are found in foods such as tea, coffee, red wine, chocolate, berries (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries), citrus fruits, pomegranates, apples, grapes, pine bark, palm fruit, and others. This is why you will find so many polyphenol extracts across the range of Amare products (MentaFocus, Mentabiotics, Energy+, Edge, SuperFood, Sunrise, and others).

One of the reasons that flavonoids/polyphenols are so beneficial for brain function is because they have benefits across the entire Gut-Brain-Axis. They not only support the brain directly with superior blood flow, antioxidant protection, and anti-inflammatory benefits, but they also support the growth of “good bacteria” in the gut (microbiome), maintain gut integrity (e.g. reduce “leaky gut“), and enhance gut-brain signaling (an effect that Amare is pioneering with global patents filed on specific flavonoid blends that are specific for Gut-Brain-Axis optimization).

Be sure to protect your aging brain by drinking your tea/coffee, eating your berries, and taking your Gut-Brain-Axis supplements!
