Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Coaching Program Questions

Q:  I was just diagnosed, and I want to explore alternatives to chemo. How can you help me?

A:  We have been here for 8 years doing just that. What we have seen is a proliferation of information on the internet.  Some valid, some shall we say questionable.  We have been sorting truth and delivering it to our clients.   We partner with you and start you immediately making the correct decisions.

 

Q:  A friend (family member) was just diagnosed.  How do I encourage them to explore their options?

A:   First, be there for them.   Second, don't just shotgun them emails or websites you have found.  Find a trustworthy source that you personally know. Consider this suggestion:

  • Order our screening interview for them.  You initially complete the form, and have an abbreviated call. Then you have the background to proceed telling your loved ones about us. 

  • They complete the screening form themselves and then the screening interview call.  

  • In the unlikely event they are not interested in speaking with us, or if as we complete YOUR portion (the form or short call) we don't go forward, we will refund your screening interview fee.

 

Q:  How do I get started with the coaching program?

A:  Simply order the screening interview. The entire process is explained on our program page

 

Q:  Why must I have a screening interview?

A:  Three important reasons.  

  • First we can determine, based on our experiences, that we can help you. We find out more about your situation and your willingness to listen to us. 

  • Second, you decide if our coaching will be right for you.  

  • Finally, it's the fastest, most accurate way to begin this whole process.

 

Q:  Can you give me more information about the screening interview.

A:  You complete a form giving background information, we meet on the phone, clarifying the issues and learning about each other.  More details are on this page.  Click Here

 

Q:  What kind of guarantee do you offer?

A:  We know you will see the value of our Coaching Program, and give you 72 hours with the Coaching Materials in hand, and having completed your initial Coaching Phone call to finalize your decision.  If you don't think it is right for you, simply return all physical coaching materials and we will fully refund your coaching fee.

 

Q:  I'm intrigued by your guarantee but why 3 days?

A:  History.  We know you will value our resources and coaching once you truly see where we are headed.  Remember, we've been here over 8 years.  We are not going to bury you with information, but screen and guide you through the maze.

 

Q:  I want to enroll in your coaching program.  Can my husband join in our sessions?

A:  Absolutely.  We encourage loved ones to join in.  The support and extra accountability is invaluable.  And increasing their understanding improves your communication and relationship during this time of stress.

 

Q:  Why should I hire you as a life coach?  What are your qualifications to coach?

A:  The colloquial "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt".  I shared a bit on the Contact Page 'about us'. I'm a very practical kind of guy.  I love action, getting right to the meat of the matter.  I'm smart, demanding, and love seeing results.  I have a true heart for people.  This is both a vocation and a ministry.

I truly believe the only way to understand my 'life qualifications' is by spending time with me as your coach.

Incidentally, I'm not a doctor, nor a medical practitioner.  I will not practice medicine, and in fact, encourage medical monitoring as a minimum during our time together. 

PS:  I do have a bit of humor amidst my serious nature.

Q:  You mention accountability on your program page.  Can you elaborate?

A:  Have you ever purchased a home study course, and never done more than glance at the index?  This is not one of them - it is NOT a boxed course.  This is a dynamic entity that requires participation on both sides. Each week we will ask for a 'report'.  Not as busy work, but to see how it is going, prepare our recommendations, provide encouragement, etc. We will follow up on recommendations.  We will also recommend stopping if we sense this is not right for you. Sounds like my high school wrestling coach.... (only gentler!)

 


Scope of Program

Q:  Do you actually treat my cancer?

A:  We provide information and phenomenal resources.  If anybody treats your cancer, it is you!

 

Q:  What about Chemotherapy while doing this?

A:  Many of our clients have completed, or are in the middle of conventional therapies including chemo, radiation, and surgery while we coach them.  Our recommendations actually are beneficial - why wouldn't improving your immune system, or ensuring solid nutrition, or taking care of your body help!  And during the program, we actually show specifics that are eye-watering in this subject area.

 

Q:  Can I mix conventional medicine with alternatives?

A:  Yes.  Always include your doctor in your complete health program, including any alternatives or supplementation.  Realize, they may not be fully informed in the specifics.  After all, who has the true burning desire to be absolutely right?  You of course!!!

Q:  Have you had breast cancer clients? (or any of the various forms of cancer)

A:   Yes.  You will not be the first.

 


Philosophy of Health

Q:  Why do you promote these 5 health concepts?

A:  Our research and experience shows these 5 basic health concepts are foundational to your body.  They cover the majority of the alternative options out there, and research in these areas is well documented.  They provide focus to our program, and a very powerful building block approach as we help you.  

 

Q:  What is right for me?

A:   Excellent question.  First who are you and what is your issue?  We need a basis to begin.  (Do you see the value of the screening interview? And a coach?)  You will find these 5 health concepts guide us through a process to discover that answer.  But it may be simpler than you imagine.

 

Q:  What about my immune system.  I've heard about building up my immune system. What can I do?

A:   I believe God designed our body for health.  If we take care of it, and give it the nutrients, exercise it needs, and keep it out of harms way, we are on the right track.

That said, proper diet, vitamin supplements, calcium, an immune booster, proper rest,.... the list goes on.  We definitely focus our program to assist you in the strengthening process.

 

Q:  What does alkaline mean?

A:  Alkaline is the opposite of acid.  Cancer thrives in acid.  So having an alkaline body is a positive, see the product recommendation below. And it is easy to measure a body's alkaline/acid state with a simple saliva test.

 

Q:  What are anti-oxidants?

A:  The rage of the new millennium.  Originally, anything that stops oxidation (rust). Oxygen compounds 'emit' molecules called free radicals that actually damage fats, proteins, even genetic material. Hmmm... damaged genes and cancer.... now that's a novel thought. Current cancer research is focusing on various anti-oxidants.  Intriguing, is it not?  Today there are a plefora of anti-oxidant supplements available.  Beginning with the humble Vitamin C to complex formulations.

 

Q:  What are pro-biotics?

A:  Pro-biotics are natural, healthy living 'organisms' that restore the natural balance in your body and intestinal tract.  The friendly 'flora & fauna'  Sounds poetic.  You require both healthy micro-organisms and your body's immune system for YOU to be healthy.

 

Q:  What products do you recommend that I use?

A:  Again, that requires personal attention to make really informed suggestions.  Thus the coaching program. Our philosophy encourages positive action in those 5 health concepts, so we normally use that as guiding principals.  

For example, to alkalize your body, we suggest calcium.  Our preference is coral calcium.  Did you know they actually use coral calcium instead of your own bone now in some back surgeries (requiring 'ground bone' to provide structure for re-growth).  But we might suggest a liquid calcium product, as well as always diet suggestions.

 

Q:  What lifestyle things should I do.  Diet? Exercise?

A:  Yes & yes.  There's the weird humor again.  We have mentioned several already.  

We find one of the largest areas of confusion is diet.  We break it down in our program beginning with the concept of 'eat smart'.  Then as we progress, we provide a wealth of resources to assist in developing a personal life plan in that area.

 

Q:  What else in terms of lifestyle?

A:  Research shows stress weakens your body and immune system. So logically, one should work to reduce stress in your life.  A wonderful area to work with your coach!

 

Q:  Can you give some specific diet recommendations?

A:  OK.  How about my eat smart golden rules:

  • Drink a lot of water. How much? Always have it around and drink, drink, drink. (try for twice your normal quantity.)

  • Absolutely eliminate all soda pop. This is a MUST DO! See Soda, the pH Slasher. - again, my weird humor.

  • Significantly reduce the quantity of meat you consume. All meat produces phosphoric acid when digested, which hinders the alkalization of your body

  • Minimize your consumption of sugar and sweets

  • Eat a lot of vegetables. Choose from the calcium rich, alkalizing varieties whenever possible

  • As much as possible, eat raw vegetables, not cooked. The nutrient content is significantly higher

  • No, you don't have to eliminate coffee & tea. Just easy on the sugar. Try Kombucha (from my friend CajunEarnie) for a seriously healthy drink

The bottom line for eating: Make intentional healthy choices as you select your food. If you are barely eating, then by all means, eat what ever tastes good and encourages your appetite. Drink WATER! If you have a normal appetite, then do control your diet within reason.

 

Q:  You mentioned water.  Why is it important?

A:  Your body only functions properly when it is fully hydrated.  And water helps you rid the body of toxins, etc.  Definitely more on this in our Program

 


Q:  Final question. I'm in your program, and am referring a friend.  Can I get a discount?

A:  Yes.  We know you will want to refer others as we work together. And frankly, many of our clients come to us that way. We have a special program to reward you.

We under-promise and over-deliver.  We know you will be pleased when you understand the scope of the coaching program. That will be obvious after our first formal telephone appointment and receiving our coaching materials.  People do not even need the 3 days to make up their mind!  Therefore, we offer no risk 100% satisfaction guarantee at that time. If you think the program is not right for you, our professional interactions less than stellar, then simply let us know.
