Each week in the US, as many as 1 million new cases of the virus are diagnosed, and at its peak, more than 3000 people are dying each day. Our healthcare system and its front line professionals are doing everything they can to help those who need hospitalized care, but the cases keep mounting and stressing the system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fa657e6b35063ee8d0c461/6f185ebe-add9-473e-aee7-484988ff59cd/pexels-pixabay-50570.jpg Home - Articles Some intro text here.

Every state, county, and city in this country has been focused on managing and eliminating the devastation from the Covid-19 virus. For a full year from January 2020 to January 2021, vaccine discovery and development has kept medical personnel, political figures, and all of us on the edge of our seats as clinical trials were conducted and then shown to have safety and efficacy; manufacturing companies found the best ways to make and store various types of vaccines; and state health associations and local communities then had to set up and manage sites to administer the vaccine. All the while our hospitals and heroic medical professionals were fighting to save lives even as more than 600,000 Americans died. Very early on, it was apparent that certain populations in the US and other Western countries were more heavily affected than others. In the US, African Americans, Native Americans, and those with severe obesity were becoming infected and having more serious illnesses leading to intubation and death at a much higher rate than those not in these groups. As we moved through 2021, vaccines were made available through emergency use, and all Americans over age 12 were offered free shots; however only 60% of those who qualified actually received the vaccine. Because of this relatively low inoculation rate, variants of the virus began appearing and complicating the response to Covid. Social media inhibited some from trusting the vaccine, and many refused to be vaccinated. As children went back to school, there was inconsistency among those students and teachers who were vaccinated, those who would wear masks, and continued the divide among those for or against the vaccine. Vaccination and a healthy lifestyle are the best antidotes to becoming infected with Covid and its emerging variants. Having a nutrient-rich diet, adequate exercise and sleep, and minimizing stress as much as possible seems to add benefit to the vaccine. The necessary changes needed to achieve the healthy lifestyle part of the equation takes time, commitment, and belief that change is possible. Health coaching with coaches like me, can help you make those changes, once you have decided to make permanent changes to be healthy. https://www.mayescoaching.com/why-health-coach daily 0.75 2022-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fa657e6b35063ee8d0c461/af67f82d-c65c-41d0-b5ce-276795804899/Kate+Mays_020.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fa657e6b35063ee8d0c461/b404bb42-b986-465a-aee5-16457e49897c/Kate+Mayes+Health+Coach+joyful+and+laughing+in+the+kitchen.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fa657e6b35063ee8d0c461/1630561256808-TTM75TAT5MLI1404X0D7/Kate+Mays_092.jpg Why a Health Coach? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fa657e6b35063ee8d0c461/da08c361-fc86-41c5-a688-83280b31ea0e/KM2_102.jpg Why a Health Coach? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fa657e6b35063ee8d0c461/13ba3f83-5375-44e1-80f5-5e9ebfb3954a/Kate+Mays_027.jpg Why a Health Coach? https://www.mayescoaching.com/articles daily 0.75 2021-10-05 https://www.mayescoaching.com/about daily 0.75 2022-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fa657e6b35063ee8d0c461/1630546286010-W7X286F8VQRSI2M1Q4MY/Kate+Mayes+Health+Coaching-being+your+best.jpg About - My name is Kate Mayes. I am a health coach because I believe that everyone suffering from chronic illness can return to a state of health and wellbeing, and that coaching supports and empowers those who wish to make necessary changes to achieve long-term wellness. My passion as a coach is to inspire and empower clients to make lifestyle changes and recognize that by doing so, they can live healthy, fulfilling lives. A healthy lifestyle is a journey with only a beginning… it continues for life. My belief that people can achieve health is based on my own experience in overcoming serious illnesses and discovery that permanent changes in lifestyle are essential to long-term health. I bring decades of experience in business and developing people, and by all metrics, being successful; but the cost to my health has been enormous. I wound up being a yo-yo dieter, suffering from breast cancer, and developed arthritis requiring 2 knee replacements. Several years ago, after retiring, I began researching my chronic illnesses and began to understand the root causes and solutions. As I adopted better eating and sleeping habits, a consistent fitness and exercise routine, and mindfulness practices, I achieved a new level of health and wellbeing. Because of my own experience and the recognition of our current lifestyle contributors to illness and disease, I am determined to help others, and in doing so, empower them to be healthy. My clients are diverse, but the common thread is that I believe in their abilities to achieve aspirational goals and to take the steps necessary to permanent health and wellness. All have experienced challenges in their lives, including: serious health issues and setbacks; lost loved ones; a desire for health consciousness; reversible chronic illnesses; or busy stressful lives. Everyone is different and unique, and together we focus on “being your best”. I am a certified ADAPT health coach, and can be reached at kate@mayescoaching.com.
