GRANDVIEW, MO (MMD Newswire) December 18, 2014 –  Jeremy Overson, a local independent Health Coach and Certified Personal Trainer, is helping residents lose weight and achieve optimal health. Overson has lost over 35 pounds himself and coached his Clients to over a 1000 pounds of weight loss on the Take Shape For Life program.Take Shape For Life is a healthy weight-loss program featuring Medifast meal replacements, the Habits of Health system, and a free Health Coach.

As a Take Shape For Life Health Coach, Overson mentors each of his Clients with compassion and professionalism. He helps people restore their health and improve their quality of life. Along with Medifast Meal replacement products, Overson offers long-term solutions to weight-management challenges while providing the informed support his Clients require.

“Diets just don’t work,” says Overson. “About 85% of diets fail within two years, often resulting in more weight regained than originally lost. How many times have you or someone you know started, stopped, and re-started a diet? This kind of yo-yo dieting is not only frustrating and discouraging, it’s unhealthy. For the long-term weight control we seek, it’s crucial to create a fundamental shift in thinking that supports and promotes health in our day-to-day choices. But which choices are the best choices? Shouldn’t willpower alone be enough to motivate me? Why can’t I just exercise longer and harder? Answers to these and other common questions are what this program offers; a comprehensive approach to healthy eating, healthy lifestyle, healthy sleep, healthy exercise, personal fulfillment and stress management, all centered around what matters most to you. We provide the tools, the support, and the information you need to take control of and organize your life around your health. With obesity rates reaching historic highs in more U.S. states, now is the time to get and stay healthy. It’s a great way to start off a new year.”

Overson will support Clients through initial weight loss and teach them healthy habits, which show Clients how to keep the weight off long term. Studies show that for many individuals, peer support in combination with other weight-loss strategies significantly improves the chances for achieving weight-loss results and for sustaining those results long term. Referring to his experience with a Health Coach, Overson commented, “Having a Health Coach helped hold me accountable, make and keep a plan for success, and keep me focused on my ultimate goal – to get healthy. I looked forward to our weekly calls because they were positive, brief, and kept me moving forward.” You can learn more about Jeremy and how the program works at www.health1st.tsfl.com.
