Though 96% of Americans know they need to modify their lifestyle to achieve greater health, only 17% are confident they can manage it on their own*. The reality: We all need a coach--regardless of whether you're a professional athlete, starting a new fitness routine, or wanting to reach your goal weight. That's why OPTAVIA , known for its habit-focused, coach-guided approach to wellness, highlights the critical role of coaches in achieving health goals. From motivating you to the knowledge they provide, we are talking about the critical role of support and all things coaching as we celebrate those who help us reach our goals. As anyone on a weight loss journey knows, hours of hard work and a commitment to healthy habits are instrumental in hitting your goal weight. That's the difference between OPTAVIA and other programs--they provide a personal coach to help you reach your goals. And with National Coaches Day coming up on October 6, it's the perfect time to highlight the impact a supportive coach can have on your life. Independent Coach Kristen Glass from OPTAVIA, the habit-based, coach-guided lifestyle solution, and her client and friend, Holly Anastasio, hit the LifeMinute Studios to talk about how powerful a coach can be in your wellness journey.

00:00So my coaching philosophy is really to get straight, jump straight to the truth with
00:10my clients, help them jump into discomfort and then simplify weight loss for them.
00:17Making a lifestyle change is never easy, but with Optivia programs, Optivia quick grab
00:24and go fuelings, grab and go snacks are easy to follow guide.
00:28And most importantly, that relationship with a one-on-one coach, we help our clients have
00:33success that they desire.
00:35I started as an Optivia client too, and I have an amazing coach.
00:38I still have an amazing coach who's become a very close friend to me.
00:42It was really important that I found a coach who had experienced what I had experienced
00:47before.
00:49I wanted to find someone who had kind of been in my shoes.
00:52And what's great is that 90% of Optivia coaches actually started as clients themselves.
00:57So no matter where they are on their health journey, they're a step ahead of you and
01:01they can lead you to success.
01:04I started this program in 2018.
01:07I reached out to Kristen after seeing some photos of her that I could not get over.
01:11She was absolutely glowing.
01:13And it was a point in my life where I felt pretty uncomfortable in my own skin.
01:17I just knew that I needed a change.
01:19So I reached out to her.
01:21She told me that she was doing Optivia and I said, sign me up.
01:25She told me, you know, this program is simple.
01:26I absolutely know it will work for you.
01:29It worked for me and I've been through it and I can show you the way.
01:31And she did just that.
01:32She helped me to set big goals.
01:34She held me accountable to those goals and really encouraged me that every choice I make
01:38is either a move in the direction of where I want to be or keeping me at the same place.
01:45And I was ready to move forward.
01:47So I'm so grateful I reached out.
01:48I've got two young daughters.
01:50They are the biggest part of my why and why I wanted to get healthy and just be a better
01:54role model for them.
01:57Kids follow our actions, not necessarily our words, so I wanted to show them through my
02:02own journey what's possible and what healthy can look like.
02:07I think honestly having a coach is the most important tool to have in your toolbox when
02:12you are on a health journey for reaching your goals.
02:15So a recent study actually found that people who have support on a health journey actually
02:20lose more weight than those who are trying to do it on their own.
02:23I would really encourage that.
02:25That's the magic of this program is having somebody by your side who's been through the
02:29program before and can show you exactly where you need to go.

02:38And don't forget that National Coaches Day is October 6th.
02:42It's really a great time to appreciate the value that a coach can bring to your healthy
02:46life journey.
02:47Whether you're just starting out like we were several years ago or you're someone who's
02:51navigating the sometimes tricky nutritional component of being on GLP-1 medicines or medically
02:58supported weight loss or you're someone who just wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle,
03:03Optivea has the most amazing programs and products and most importantly coaches who are going
03:08to guide you to your goals.
