I’ve been practicing medicine since 2005 and my biggest frustration was that many of the diseases I treated are preventable. I felt that while my patients left my office with a good plan of action for lifestyle modification, they would not make consistent changes and were in the same shape, if not worse shape, by the time they followed up with me. I knew that as a doctor I needed to offer more help to my patients. I needed a resource like NuStart where personal coaches walk alongside individuals who are hungry for a better quality of life and are ready to make incremental changes in the way they think, act, and communicate about their health and well-being.

Since launching NuStart, we refined the way we teach people how to apply the principles that matter the most in nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management. It is so satisfying to see people achieve their goals, reduce their dependency on medication, take control of their health, and feel better. Not only do they benefit from learning and applying effective lifestyle strategies, but they often tell me how they are passing along what they learn to family members, friends, and even co-workers who are curious about their personal success.

In 2014, we began developing some ideas on how we could take what we learned from our clinics in Wabash and Marion and apply it to the workplace. We attended a workshop at the University of Michigan hosted by Dr. Michael P. O’Donnell. The topics and content that many of the speakers presented that day gave me confidence in that we were on the right track with our methodology. In the 18 months following that workshop, we developed our approach to help organizations create a health-promoting culture, environment, and programming that would bring about sustainable change both for the organization and its employees.

In 2016, we launched our corporate wellness and school wellness services with great success. We have identified that organizations are much like people: there is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but there are certain principles that are the same. Whether you are an individual who wants to make the commitments necessary to take control of your well-being, or you represent an organization that wants to promote a workplace culture that supports employees’ desire to make healthy lifestyle choices we would appreciate the opportunity to work with you.

Sincerely,
