What you'll learn

The PTR Reset Health and Wellness Coaching Program Overview

This 12-week coaching program focuses on the 6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine. This emerging international medical field focuses on natural ways to prevent, treat, and reverse numerous diseases through lifestyle modifications based on decades of high-quality medical research. The American Medical Association acknowledges this potentially game-changing field as one steeped in sound research. As a matter of fact, the AMA has adopted a resolution calling for physicians to acquire and apply the competencies of Lifestyle Medicine. Fewer than 1% of U.S. physicians are board-certified in this field. Hopefully, one day, the focus will be well-care, not just healthcare.

Four out of five visits to the doctor are for lifestyle-related conditions. Lifestyle-related diseases are many and include, but are not limited to, diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), some forms of cancer, and obesity. Genetic predisposition to many diseases is only part of the picture. Many environmental/lifestyle factors help determine whether these genes are "turned on" (epigenetics). We will delve into these epigenetic factors in each coaching session.

Examples of how the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine can impact health:

The risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, or stroke can be reduced.
Many cases of diabetes can be put into remission naturally, allowing people to come off their pills or insulin and reducing/elimating painful nerve damage. THIS MUST BE DONE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A PRIVATE HEALTH CARE PROVIDER/PHYSICIAN, TO REDUCE THE RISK OF POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DROPS IN BLOOD SUGAR.
Women with breast cancer have been shown to live longer and have a lower rate of recurrence by following these pillars. Men with prostate cancer also had a better outcome in a published research paper.

This program will provide you with evidence-based information proven to decrease (if not eliminate) factors that put you at risk for developing lifestyle-related diseases. We will establish short-term and long-term goals to optimize your wellness journey, and together, we will create strategies to help you overcome current obstacles to enjoying the vitality you deserve.

This coaching program DOES NOT guarantee you will never develop these diseases. It DOES provide you with cutting-edge information on how to significantly DECREASE your risk of developing these conditions or improve your outcome if you are diagnosed with them.

Coach Dr. Ann Hester is a double board-certified physician. She is board-certified in internal medicine and in Lifestyle Medicine, making her one of a FRACTION OF 1% of physicians worldwide with this distinction.

Coach Dr. Ann Hester's 12-week PTR Reset Coaching Program provides one 60-minute group coaching session on Zoom once weekly. Please note: Each cohort may include up to 15 participants. Depending on enrollment timing, you may be the only member in your group for part or all of the program.
