What does L.E.A.N. mean?
We hear many catch phrases as it relates to the fitness and nutrition industry. The word "lean" is one of them. What does it mean in terms of the L.E.A.N. programs available at Breaking Barriers Coaching? L.E.A.N. is an acronym for Lifestyle (how you live), Exercise (how you move), Attitude (how you think) and Nutrition (how you eat). These are the 4 pillars of health that all of the programs through the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute are based on.Each program uses the acronym a little differently though as the needs for each group are varying in their needs. It is important to mention there are no products being sold or special diets to incorporate during ANY of these workshops. These workshops are ALL educationally based and affordable for all groups because of it.
The L.E.A.N Essentials Program is for caregivers who have children ages 3 - 12 years old. If you aren't sure if you have the time to commit to the 3 or 6 week L.E.A.N. Start Program or perhaps you've seen and heard it all and nothing has really 'worked' for you or your family and are feeling skeptical... Or it just seems like too much to try and figure out and you are feeling somewhat overwhelmed. Whatever the reason this 2 hour, one time workshop is for you!
The L.E.A.N. Start Program is for caregivers who have children ages 3 - 12 years old. This 3 or 6 week program is unique as it focuses on the caregiver learning about the right nutrition for their children's growing body in a way that is simple and easy to implement. It is all about education and using what the caregiver knows already and building on it. Just healthy, nutrient dense foods from the grocery stores they presently shop from. They become a wise consumer and their child's advocate! L.E.A.N. in this case means that you are strong and healthy.
L.E.A.N. Expectations is a 3 part workshop for expectant mothers. It focuses on helping mothers have a healthy pregnancy, a safe birth and a smooth transition into motherhood. L.E.A.N. in this setting refers to how you choose to divide your time and the daily choices you make, being physically active during your pregnancy, keeping a positive mental outlook and the body's intake of nutrients to foster optimal health.
Lastly is the Prime Time Program. This workshop is designed for anyone in their 40's right up to 60+. L.E.A.N. in this setting relates to the body using it's own internal pharmacy and its ability to do so. This helps with the prevention of disease and injury or the repair of problems already present.Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude and Nutrition are applicable to all ages and stages of life. These programs acknowledge that and teach individuals how to consistently apply them for optimal health.
