February 26, 2008 - Cosby, TN - Good Health Coach, LLC has formed a health and wellness coaching organization to provide FREE health, wellness, fitness and nutritional coaching for youth under the age of eighteen.
By going to www.freeyouthhealthcoaching.org any youth under the age of eighteen can sign up to receive a weekly health coaching session FREE of any charges. Youths who signs up for our FREE coaching sessions only needs to have phone and internet access to receive the weekly coaching and educational materials. Good Health Coach pays for the phone charges to the youth for their weekly session which usually last between fifteen and forty five minutes. Their personal coach is also available, via email, to answer questions and provide educational materials as well as positive feedback to the youth between weekly sessions.
We will grow it and they will get the help they need. That is the philosophy of Bob Pelletier, co-founder of Free Youth Health Coaching. “It is time for a grass roots approach to helping our youth overcome huge obstacles like obesity, unhealthy eating habits and unfit bodies”, says Mr. Pelletier. Pelletier is no stranger to an unhealthy lifestyle with his weight topping over 400 pounds, high blood pressure and being a borderline diabetic, he decided to make a break for a better life. For over two years he has maintained a 225 pound weight loss, kept physically active and has excellent vital signs and labs. On his 50th birthday he ran three miles straight, is an avid hiker and is in physically fit condition. Pelletier further explains; “Once you help a person understand the difference between a sickly and a healthy lifestyle and they get just a small sample of it and see how easily it is to effectively cross over to this new lifestyle, they will get hooked and never want to go back. Good health is such a good feeling that I wish I had not waited until I was 47 years old to cross over to the good life”. The simple message we convey during our coaching sessions is, “there are many ways to achieve wellness and together we will find your way and make it a fun and enjoyable journey getting there”.
Dr. Robert Pettis, MD, DC, PhD, co-founder of the organization and the senior coaching member of the Free Youth Health Coaching organization says; “It is apparent that the current assistance for helping our youth with these core health problems is not working in most cases. We have to use an effective tool like coaching to break the barrier so they can be empowered to take control of the destiny of their health”.
