A Case Study in Stress Reduction

By: Michael Beiter

This is wild.

A client of mine hired me to help her lose weight and get healthier.

She has made remarkable strides in her weight loss journey, conquering significant milestones along the way, although she's currently feeling a bit disheartened by the scale.

Today, I showed her what her heart has been doing since we started.

It has dropped by about 11 beats per minute.

"What does that mean?" She asked.

I did the math for her, and she went silent.

"What!? That is amazing!! My heart is getting healthier, and I didn't think I was doing shit!" she erupted.

Her words were a powerful affirmation of the impact our work together has had on her, 'I've never looked at that number before! Remarkably, you continue teaching me new ways to look at my health. In the past, I would have quit already and relegated myself to the belief that I would always be unhealthy and big. You've helped unravel those thoughts in a big way!'

Despite the annoying scale, She is more motivated than ever to continue her strides.

Saving 68 days of resting heartbeats will do that for you.
