The seven-week wellness plan for retired athletes
You're a retired athlete. During your competitive years, your body was on point. Trainers monitored your diet and exercise routines, and you were at the top of your game. Now that you've formally left your sport (and you're a few years older), you notice things are beginning to slip. Maybe you've gained some weight. Your stamina isn't what it used to be. The mirror is no longer your friend.
With your kids running around and growing stress at work, it's easy to feel, well, tired. Perhaps your best days are now behind you. I'm happy to tell you that your best days can still lie ahead.
Thanks to breakthroughs from Harvard, USC, UCLA, and others, we now know how to master aging and reclaim our stamina, productivity, and positive outlook.
I've consolidated the latest developments in longevity and wellness medicine and created a 7 Steps in 7 Weeks elite performance plan specifically for retired athletes. My 7x7 program is intended for men and women like you looking to reclaim their youthful drive and vigor.
The best part is that you don't need to leave your home to participate in the program. My team of wellness experts will teach you how to use technology, foods, supplements, and exercises to create a customized plan designed for your lifestyle. We use video visits to boost your health without setting foot in a gym or crazy wellness spa.
Here are the steps:
Diet: Retired athletes often fall into the trap of overeating. After all, it's easy to keep eating the way you did during your competitive days. We'll create a dietary log and design customized meal goals that match your current needs. We'll figure out which foods will help you reach your weight goals and turbocharge your energy. We'll reduce harmful gluten and sugar. And, we'll make sure you're eating the right amount of protein and nutritious fats. We'll examine whether intermittent fasting is right for you.
Supplements: Go to any nutrition store, and the shelves are overflowing with supplements, pills, and powders. But, which are right for you? We'll look at the data and create the perfect supplement plan for your health and vitality. Let's take the guesswork out of picking supplements.
Supercharged Drinks: Refresh yourself with beverages that turn back the clock and battle aging. We combine Eastern and Western medicine to pick drinks to energize your day and improve your health.
Exercise: You're an athlete; of course, you know how to exercise. Now, we need to make sure your workouts match your needs after competitive sports. To battle aging and boost your performance, you'll want to combine cardio, weights, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Your goal is to exercise for at least 45 minutes three times/week. When we work together, we'll help you get the exercise you need without virus exposure from the gym. We'll introduce you to our online fitness instructor partners who teach you how to turn your home into an exercise studio.
Toxin Removal: Hidden dangers in your environment may be dragging you down. Radon, air pollution, artificial sweeteners, and environmental toxins may be making you sick. Let's find those poisons and eliminate them.
Mindfulness and mental health: We take care of your mind as well as your body. As an athlete, you understand that the mental game is as important as the physical. We'll screen you for depression (which is common among retired athletes) and get started with the energizing practices of mindfulness and gratitude.
Our mind and body retired athlete wellness packages are entirely online. You'll restore your wellbeing and improve your work performance from the comfort of your living room.
