Fresh after the start of the New Year, the Milton Rotary Club at its first meeting of 2015 heard from local health coach Mindy Mazur. Her focus is to coach her clients beyond the typical diet mentality to one of creating optimal health in their lives.  She follows the philosophy and system “Take Shape for Life” created by her partner Dr. Wayne Andersen and author of NY Times best-selling book “Discover Your Optimal Health”

Optimal health includes a healthy body (maintaining a healthy weight, restorative sleep, exercise) healthy mind (learning ways to reduce stress), and healthy finances (the health coach opportunity).

Everyone should ask themselves: if what you are doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow? One suggestion she had was to join her team for the next Take Shape for Life’s 6 weeks The Healthy Games Challenge which started on January 12, 2015.It’s not too late to join! You can contact Mindy at 617-780-5368 or mindy@gethealthywithmindy.com

Ms. Mazur then reviewed steps to make your health a priority, and outlined a blueprint for achieving a potentially longer, healthier life.  It all begins with breakfast, and ends with monitoring, which includes weighing yourself on a routine basis.

She personally testified how this program has transformed her, and how she has been able to lose fifty pounds and keep them off for the past five years.

Three key areas of well-being are financial, physical and emotional health.  Ms. Mazur’s goal as a health coach is to help people who are struggling in one or all three area move toward balance and achieve optimal health.

The members appeared to be touched by Ms. Mazur’s remarks.  Many of the delicious desserts Abby Park provided the club went untouched.

The Milton Rotary Club meets Wednesdays at 12:15 at Abby Park Restaurant, 566 Adams Street, Milton.  Please contact the club secretary, Michael Maholchic, if you are interested in one of our upcoming programs.
