Coach
Coaching toward Full Consciousness, Embodiedness, Health, and Connection
You've just uncovered something profound. You are taking the first, second, or even tenth step toward finding mentorship and companionship on this journey of life. In my ten years as a healthcare chaplain – eight of which were spent exclusively with hospice patients – I have learned that many people die with many regrets... especially those whom dominant culture has labeled "successful." They regret spending too much time amassing wealth for their family when the family just wanted more time from them. They regret becoming an accountant or a [fill in the blank], but what they really wanted to do was be a conductor, a sculptor, a stay-at-home father... And they regret having few people surrounding them in their final weeks and days. So when I congratulate you on uncovering something profound, know that I see you, and I appreciate the journey you are on. Let's work together on your full story – on your mind/body/spirit – because it all counts.
If you made it to this website, I probably invited you to try one of the 90-Day Transformation programs, such as the "Fabulous After 40 Total Transformation 90-Day Intensive." Aside from the week-to-week, supportive, and embodied coaching I offer, here are the seven topical 90-day transformation programs, which I also offer:
- Fabulous After 40
- Clarity Catalyst
- Embracing My Fitness Journey
- Finding Meaning in My Career
- Transforming My Relationship with Money
- The Lover Archetype
- Good with God
- Working Through Grief
Yes, coaching is hard work. But I'm here to remind you of the truth, which is you can do this. You are going to do a great job. If you think back in your mind to the last five, ten, twenty years of your life, and you think about all of the things that you've overcome — things you've done that were really difficult — chances are good that's a long list. So, you got this! You can do this. This is going to be fun. This is going to be easier than you thought. And I think you're going to be surprised at how well you do and how much of a good time you will have doing it!
Daniel's Five Paradigms of Coaching
- You are completely powerful and capable in every area of your life already; you just need someone to hold your vision for you when you stop believing that change is possible.
- Change comes through curiosity and amazement, not judgment.
- Every step forward is a reason to celebrate!
- Let's focus on increasing your choice, not judging yourself for making a particular decision. And,
- Your greatest fears and struggles are actually your greatest opportunities for transformation.
Adding the Genetics Test to Your Program
Daniel's Partnership with Genetic Direction
Through my connection to the International Sports Science Association (ISSA), I was able to form a partnership with Genetic Direction, which is a federally certified genetic testing lab based in Dallas, TX. Genetic Direction analyzes approximately 300 unique genetic markers that have been shown through external research to be related to various ways the human body processes food, nutrients, and physical exercise, as well as how the body responds to the aging process.
Why Testing?
As the field of genetics evolves, it’s becoming more obvious: genes play a role in more than just hair and eye color. Everyone is unique because of genetics. And this type of individuality requires personalized solutions when it comes to health and wellness recommendations. Genetic testing provides the ability to design coaching programs so accurate and predictable, that client success--when following the recommendations--is more likely. This is perhaps the most exciting change in the health and wellness profession!
What the Research Demonstrates
A recent study published by the European Society of Human Genetics found that dieters employing weight management programs tailored to the individual’s genome lost up to 33% more weight than those following standard, “one size fits all” weight loss programs. With the latest genomic technology, any health management program that does not take an individual’s genetic profile into account is simply guesswork.
How it Happens
While the science behind our products is very complex, the process you will follow to obtain your genetics-based recommendations is quite simple. After you purchase a product, you will receive a DNA collection kit. You will simply rub the sterile cotton swab in the kit along your gums for one minute, pack the sample up, and send it back to the Genetic Direction lab. Their federally certified lab will analyze your sample, and within 2-3 weeks, Daniel will send you a notification that your report is ready for you to access inside your secure web portal.
The Deal for 23andMe and Ancestry Clients
If you have already purchased a 23andMe Health+Ancestry test or an AncestryDNA test, then you are eligible to purchase our genetic wellness products at a large discount – and you don’t have to submit another sample for DNA testing! During registration you will have the opportunity to upload your 23andMe Health+Ancestry or AncestryDNA raw genetic data from and we will generate your reports and recommendations from your existing data. Since we don’t need to obtain another DNA sample from you, the turnaround time for your reports will be days, not weeks.
Daniel's Proprietary Genetic Test
My premier report contains 34 unique genetic traits and is a combination of several traits from the GxSlim (weight loss), GxPerform (athletic performance), GxRenew (healthy aging) and GxNutrient (micronutrient tendencies) programs. The vast majority of the traits within GxSlim and GxPerform are included in the Embodied Spirit Genetic Test, but the Food Summary, Sample Meal Plan, Exercise Summary and Sample Exercise Plan (all from GxSlim) are NOT included in the Embodied Spirit Genetic Test. This is the only test Embodied Spirit offers. You may order additional tests a la carte directly through Genetic Direction.
