How a Health Coach Learned to Optimize Her Own Body
German native Clarissa Behrendt motivates people in London as a "Health Coach" to lead a healthy lifestyle. Here, she tells how MavieMe helped her uncover the hidden secrets of her own body.
She is an absolute professional who can hardly be told anything new when it comes to health. But since Clarissa Behrendt decided to integrate MavieMe into her personal and professional life, she has reached a new level in self-care and health management: "I have gained deeper insight into my health status, which allows me to work specifically on my well-being, especially in optimizing my diet and managing my energy levels."
Energy is something the German native, who has been living and working in England for some time, needs for her profession, and that's why self-care is so important, even and especially for professionals. With MavieMe, Clarissa has taken this to a new level: "I have learned to plan more time for myself and integrate regular self-care rituals that significantly improve my quality of life."
Clarissa has been fascinated by nutrition and fitness since her youth, and this interest has evolved. On one hand professionally, and on the other hand, as she began to notice energy gaps and mood swings in herself despite a healthy diet and physical fitness. She wanted to get to the bottom of this and found the ideal partner in MavieMe: "MavieMe offers comprehensive and scientifically based analyses of my health data at home, which enables me to better understand my body and save time. The detailed explanations of the test results and the resulting concrete action recommendations have made it easy for me to make targeted improvements in my lifestyle."
Through this process, Clarissa learned to precisely identify stress factors and develop counter-strategies such as meditation and yoga to significantly improve her mental well-being: "It's exciting to have a partner who supports me in achieving my goals while also allowing me to express my creativity through creating UGC videos (User Generated Content)."
Recognizing connections between lifestyle and well-being is part of a health coach's job description, but Clarissa Behrendt has delved even deeper into this subject with MavieMe. For her, health is the harmonious interplay of all physical and mental functions to feel full of energy and pain-free every day: "Through the precise analyses of MavieMe, I have become much more aware of how environmental factors affect my health and can now respond more specifically. I make sure to keep my stress level low and maintain a healthy balance in my diet to stay stable and energized."
Clarissa has also realized that achieving this goal doesn't always have to involve activity, even for a bundle of energy like her: "One should start monitoring their health actively earlier. And that includes paying attention to sleep. Good sleep is crucial to staying energized and healthy." This advice is certainly one of the most pleasant ways to stay mentally and physically fit.
