A new season brings new memories, new schedules, and new opportunities for community participation. Supporting good health and mindfulness is truly the best way to be proactive and embrace the new season ahead!

Ready to start the new season strong? Check out the following tips on how to stay healthy and happy this fall:

• Munch on in-season foods. This time of year, beautiful vegetables make their appearance in grocery stores across the nation. Some of the nutrient-dense options to consider adding to your Lean & Green meals include: broccoli, kale, and turnips. Get adventurous and try a new produce item each week!
• Rise and shine at the same time. As the sun goes down earlier, it can throw off your natural circadian rhythm. Try to maintain a sleep schedule of at least eight hours per night and keep your usual bedtime and waking hours consistent.

• Enjoy the cooler weather outdoors. Now that the weather is beginning to get cooler in most places, there’s no better time to enjoy the outdoors. Take in the beauty of the changing leaves, the crisp air, and the sounds of nature. In fact, a walk in nature can boost your mood and creativity, while also relaxing you.

Fall is the perfect season to slow down and evaluate your health and wellness. These tips are aimed at helping you have a healthier fall overall. Best of all, they can be easily implemented into your life starting today!

Reach out to me, your independent OPTAVIA Coach, for additional tips on how to stay healthy this fall.

A Transformative Conversation

Larry found himself defeated and weighed down by his obesity.

“I had no interest in spending time with my family and spent my downtime in my bedroom watching TV. This is how I envisioned the rest of my life.”

One day he noticed that his niece had embarked on a health journey. In each photo, she looked happier and healthier than the last. After a few months of watching her journey progress, Larry decided to call his niece.

That call changed Larry’s life. She told him about OPTAVIA and how much it changed her life.

“In looking back, my conversation with my niece saved my life. She talked about the plan she was following - it provided nutrition, support, and a mindset to return to a healthy lifestyle.”

Larry became involved in the OPTAVIA Client Community. His mindset instantly switched from negative to positive, and he‘s never looked back..

"I have a newfound love for life, for myself, and those around me, mostly because of the OPTAVIA program. I have energy, sleep well, think positively about myself, and I’ve begun to catch up on the things I missed out on when I was too heavy and unhealthy to care.”

Because of personal journey, Larry was so inspired that he’s now an independent OPTAVIA Coach. His goal now is to pay it forward by teaching others about the importance of health and wellbeing.
