66.1 Health transformation
How, why, how much?
Health “transformation”??? What the heck does that mean?
It’s something like this: you’re young enough that you’ve got life worth living,
I’ve had mentors tell me to charge more. Friends tell me to charge less. At the end of the day, this is all coming from the same place: I’ve worked at the Mayo Clinic for the past 4 years. Primarily with cancer patients. Some of these people truly were dealt a bad health hand. They contracted an ugly disease in their 20s, 30s, or 40s. Too young to blame it on “lifestyle”. But the majority of my patients? Late 50s to early 70s.
66.1 is the average health span (years lived with no chronic disease) of an adult in the US. And 66 is the average number of days it takes to build a new habit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a health coach and a doctor?
Well. A lot. Do you want to hear about how a health coach doesn’t have the power to prescribe treatments, etc.? Or do you want me to ask how often you see your doctor, how well they know you, and if they’d give you their personal phone number and say, “Good luck this weekend. Text me if it gets difficult. I’ll be reachable.”
What’s an engagement look like?
3 months. Somewhere between $3,000 and $12,000. Depends on what you need.
Will you give me a diet plan? An exercise plan?
Some people take comfort in the fact that I trained at Mayo Clinic. Worked there for 4 years, helped 200+ cancer survivors achieve their health goals, got my Health and Wellness Coaching Certification through Mayo, too. Other people are intrigued by the fact that I lived off-grid in Zambia for 2 years in my early 20s. Learned more than you will in a lifetime in the US about the human body’s potential. It’s this experience that allows me to distill every client’s situation down to the very simple levers that need pulling to change their life. Don’t just take it from me, though. I’ve helped people lose weight, recover from injury, and fix their stress problems.
Who is Marcus? What makes Marcus so good?
Some people take comfort in the fact that I trained at Mayo Clinic. Worked there for 4 years, helped 200+ cancer survivors achieve their health goals, got my Health and Wellness Coaching Certification through Mayo, too. Other people are intrigued by the fact that I lived off-grid in Zambia for 2 years in my early 20s. Learned more than you will in a lifetime in the US about the human body’s potential. That time gave me an eye for distilling every client’s situation down to the very simple levers that need pulling to change their life.
Who’s this for? Am I too old, young, fat, skinny, for you to help me?
The people with the best results tend to be:
25-35 years old
Effective parents, spouses, etc.
With a good reason to make change in their life
What if my doctor told me I can’t lose weight?
Then we listen to them. I’m not
Why not just take a GLP-1?
Fine tool to help with weight loss. But if you don’t fix your habits (diet, exercise, sleep, relationships), you won’t fix your health. You’ll be malnourished with a higher-than-healthy percent body fat and you’ll be stuck on GLP-1s for life. Even the science the GLP-1 manufacturers sponsored says this.
What sort of results can I expect?
Depends what you want. Over 3 months, many clients lose 20+ pounds. Others come by for a “tune up”—they’re physically healthy, but sustained an injury and need someone to hold their hand on the road to recovery.
