Our 6 Step Blueprint To Improved Heart Health
Purpose
Knowing ‘why’ you want to improve your health is one of the most important – and often overlooked – steps in your wellness journey. Connecting to your deeper ‘why’ aka idenitfying purpose means you’re more likely to feel motivated to reach your goals, and to keep going – even when you face challenges along the way. Our team at Heart Smart Australia will help you determine your why at the start of your journey.
Strategy
Once you’ve joined the program, our Accredited Practising Dietitians and Health Coaches will work with you to identify the goals most important to you. Then we develop a strategy for success, ensuring it’s not only individualised to you, but is also holistic, enjoyable and most importantly – sustainable in the long term. You’ll also receive personalised advice based on your recent health markers e.g. your cholesterol so your strategy is personalised to your current condition and nutritional and health needs.
Accountability
During your 26 week program, you’ll have regular coaching calls with our Accredited Practising Dietitians and Health Coaches. This is designed to help you stay motivated and accountable to your goals. It’s also a time for you to ask questions, discuss any roadblocks, and ensure you are giving yourself the best chance to achieve results. Plus, you’ll also gain access to tools such as daily tracking in our all-inclusive app, recipes guides, and an online support group to boost accountability and motivation.
Mindset
Adopting a growth mindset is VITAL to achieving success and long-term behaviour change. That’s why our team are dual qualified as Accredited Practising Dietitains and Health Coaches to help transform your mindset and create healthy habits that last. During your regular calls, our Accredited Practising Dietitians and Health Coaches will work with you to create new habits, overcome obstacles and build self confidence and sense of worth so you can see results, and achieve your health and wellness goals.
Nutrition
Our team of Accredited Practising Dietitians and Health Coaches will work with you to improve your heart health, lose weight and reduce your risk of disease – without giving up the foods you love. You’ll work with our team to not only set goals, but to build your knowledge and skills around nutrition and to understand what works best for your lifestyle. This way, you can make healthier choices you’ll enjoy, and create sustainable habits that last.
Movement
Regular physical activity is one of the best things you can do to improve your heart health, manage your weight and reduce your risk of disease. However, what’s more important is engaging in movement that you enjoy – as you’re more likely to be consistent with it now, and in the future. When you join our program, our Accredited Practising Dietitians and Health Coaches will work with you to find a routine that’s simple, and enjoyable for you. Plus, you also have the option to receive a personalised exercise program designed by our Exercise Physiologist.
