Whole9 offers both a comprehensive four week personal consulting package, and a one hour personalized consulting service, conducted via both email and/or telephone. We accept a limited number of new clients each week, to ensure everyone gets their fair share of personal attention. Please note, we currently have a six (6) month waiting period for our four week consulting program, and potential clients interested in the program are placed on a waiting list in the order in which they contact us.
Our Manifesto
Welcome to Whole9, an integrated system for health and fitness. (Sounds high-tech, doesn’t it? Our practice is actually far more intuitive than that.) Our basic premise is simple:
We believe nutrition is the gateway to good health – that improvements in everything from body composition to injury rehabilitation to athletic performance can be best realized through good nutrition.
However, diet alone won’t get you to your health and fitness goals. There are other factors that play their own part, each contributing in their own way, and dependent upon each other. Strength gains demand not only good nutrition, but quality sleep and active recovery. Successful stress management requires fun and play as well as vigorous exercise. None of these factors exist in a vacuum – they all fuse together to produce your current level of health and fitness.
Here’s where it gets complicated. With so many variables, it can be tough to know where to focus, and what to do. Should you eat less or train more? Do you wake up early to go to the gym, or get an extra hour of sleep? To make it even more frustrating, sometimes the harder you try, the less progress you make – and you have no idea what you’re doing wrong. (Hint: It won’t matter if your nutrition is perfect if you’re chronically over-tired, people.)
The cold, hard truth is that what you think you should do may not be what you actually need to do.
Which is where we come in: part science, part real-world coaching experience, and part good old-fashioned common sense. We’re problem solvers, and we know an effective coaching solution can’t focus on just a few aspects of health and fitness at the exclusion of others. Instead, we evaluate these 9 factors and triage based on what you need to get you to optimal health.
See, you’re motivated, you’re dedicated, you’re willing to do the hard work – you just need a little direction. So we’ll run your life for a few weeks and get you back on track, until you’re ready to take the plan we’ve given you and implement it on your own. Whether you are seeking athletic performance, injury rehabilitation, stress management or any aspect of health, we’ll help you identify what is impeding your progress, and show you the best way to fuse all the factors that contribute to your health and fitness.
Our One Hour Consulting Service
Our one hour service is perfect for those who just need some help to get started, or tweak a health and fitness plan already in place. We require all one hour clients to complete our comprehensive “9 factor” questionnaire and submit a typical day’s food log, so we can hit the ground running when you answer the phone. Much like our four week program, we’ll evaluate your goals and triage your needs, giving you direct and applicable advice that you can implement immediately.
Our one hour program costs $150. You may speak with Dallas, Melissa or Amy, depending on your goals. We all have different strengths and experience, so we’ll match you up with the consultant who is best suited for your needs – or you can request to speak with one of us directly. Our waiting list for the one hour program is typically much shorter (1-2 weeks), compared to our four week program. To check our availability or request more information, email us at consulting@whole9life.com.
Our Four Week Program
Our process is, admittedly, quite intensive. We require about six weeks of your time, and ask you to track, log and submit information related to a whole host of health, fitness and nutrition factors. We also ask you for information related to other areas of your life – areas you may not necessarily think of when seeking “nutritional counseling”. Our approach, by design, goes far beyond just meal planning and macronutrient proportion. We believe an effective coaching solution can’t focus on just a few aspects of health and fitness at the exclusion of others. Instead, we evaluate our designated “9 factors” and triage based on what you need to get you to optimal health.
You may find that the information we request is time and energy intensive for the duration of short tracking/logging period, but the more life factors you can detail for us, the better we are able to arrive at an effective plan for you, based on your history, experience and personal goals.
Our program costs $500, with a $250 deposit due upon acceptance into the program. The balance ($250) is due upon your submission of all tracking/logging materials. To check our availability or request more information, email us at consulting@whole9life.com.
