I get it- being healthy seems like it takes a lot of work, a lot of time & a LOT of money.
The truth is, STAYING healthy & keeping yourself in a “maintenance phase” is not expensive or tons of work but getting to the root of the problem & getting equipped to maintain health long term CAN be an initial investment into your long-term health maintenance plan.
In the depths of my own immense health struggle 10+ years ago, I was reluctant to ask for help or spend money (that I didn’t have) on lab testing, better water filtration systems, IV therapy, custom supplements, etc.
Unfortunately, my body was hitting a major breaking point where I had to leave my dream job & quit my last year of college because my brain literally wouldn’t work anymore. I remember sitting at the computer of my interior design job trying to work on a custom kitchen plan & my brain having no idea what to do. It was hard to even get my hand to move the mouse, let alone work & concentrate on a very intricate project….
I may not LOOK sick here, but this was right after I quit school & my dream job. My brain was on fire & I could hardly function. My anxiety was so high I couldn’t go anywhere by myself or contribute to the household much. My boyfriend (now husband) took me in for a year & helped me rehab my body through proper nutrition, brain work, functional lab testing, supportive body movement, IV therapy with my practitioner & more.
At that point, I had no other choice if I wanted to live a quality life. I had to invest in something more than the mainstream doctor's advice that was covered by my health insurance. I was only getting worse & at age 21 I was losing my life & watching my dreams rush down the drain.
I ended up asking my family for help financially & putting my treatments on a credit card. Within months, my brain was turning back on, my stomach problems were going away, my hormones were rising & I was feeling SO much better in a short amount of time.
Feeling better led me to get back into school to finish my degree, graduate top of my class, win “Best in Show” for my graduate thesis project, & go on to start a business that led me to pay back my initial investments from those I borrowed from.
Health is Wealth. That’s the truth.
Without optimal health, how do we serve our family?
How do we have the energy to cook nutritious meals & play with our children?
Without a thriving body, how do we actually enjoy life & feel good enough to travel & garden & invest & create & love?
I know that in the depths of my health issues, It just wasn’t possible to create new relationships, start a business, work, or even read a book because it was just too challenging for my brain & body to handle.
If I hadn’t invested those thousands of dollars in the beginning, I know for a fact I would have never graduated with a college degree or gone on to create a career I love. Optimal health is a pre-requisite to the dreams & life you desire.
Options You have
Save Up
Decide where you can cut corners in your current spending & start putting that money away into a separate account you don’t touch. My husband & I shared one car for years. We sold his vehicle & bought mine in cash and have not had a car payment for 6+ years now! Without a car payment, we can use that money elsewhere for our investments, health care, children’s private schooling & so much more.
Was it an adjustment to have one car? YES.
Was it worth it all these years later? YESFinance Your Investment With CC
Most of my clients have had great success with getting 24-month zero-interest credit cards which make their monthly payments for my full health coaching around $150/month.
This is a great way to pay off your investment over time for a low monthly rate.
Advanced Care Credit is a company many clients & practitioner friends have used over the years to finance their medical & health purchases.
There are thousands of more credit cards out there with great rates. If you are a responsible money manager, this is a simple route to go.
In House Financing
Most companies have in-house financing available, which usually costs a bit more in fees & interest vs. financing with a zero-interest credit card. If you are looking at one of my coaching programs (or someone else’s) there are usually payment plan options if you ask. If you’re looking to get a water filtration & ionization system set up, the company I work with offers 6 month- 24 month financing available.
Make More Money
More easily said than done right?! I totally get it. Asking for a raise or starting your own business for some extra cash isn’t necessarily easy but again- is totally worth it in the end!
