Ash shares his positive experience with a wellness program called "better" provided by his employer. Over the course of 36 days, he has lost 18.5 pounds and has seen improvements in his physical wellness, mood, and sleep quality. The program's structure, support, resources, and his coach Sarah have been instrumental in his success. He appreciates his employer for investing in the program and encourages others who are hesitant to give it a try.

You. Hi folks, my name is Ash and I want to talk about my experiences with better. I have had the opportunity to do better for the last 36 days through my employer and it has been a really wonderful experience. So in terms of tangible results, as of this morning, I've lost 18 and a half pounds, which is incredible. I haven't been able to prioritize my physical wellness in a successful and consistent manner over the last twelve years. So being able to walk into this program and do it to fidelity and being able to do that successfully with the amount of support and structure, from my coach Sarah, to the weekly Zoom calls, to our check ins, to our journaling, all of the components of this program that help with accountability has been instrumental in me being able to be successful. The resources, the app, the wonderful recipes, all of those things have been able to help me prioritize my wellness. And that's one of those non scale victories that has been pretty incredible and a motivation for me to continue to look at what am I putting in my body, how is my body reacting and pushing me to want to hold on to this really wonderful feeling that I have. So what I have gained in other non scale victories has been sustained energy throughout the day, which is huge. Another way to say that is I don't experience fatigue in the same way that I used to. It has helped improve my mood and I'm someone that lives with anxiety and depression that has been really impactful. I'm also someone that struggles with sleep issues and the better program has helped support being able to fall asleep easier, stay asleep, decreased restlessness and sleep and just have a deeper sleep. And sleep is so important. And it's just one of those things that knowing that the food that I'm putting into my body impacts not only weight loss, but it truly is impacting and helping heal other parts of myself. And it's just been really great. Working with Sarah has been a blast. She is down to earth and encouraging and she provides tangible guidance about here, you should try this or what have you done that and just her encouragement has been really enjoyable. And so thank you, Sarah, for lifting me up and keeping me on the right track. And then a huge shout out to my employer. This is a program that has helped me make lifestyle changes and one that I think is tangible to be able to sustain over time. So thank you for investing in us. Anybody who is watching, who is on the fence or who is nervous, give it a go. Dr. Carr talks about give us three good days on and then those three days turn into three weeks, and they turn into 33 days, and you just keep going. So I'm very proud of myself, and I'm excited to keep hitting those goals and being successful, and I know that better works.

Testimonial

Hey, it's Dr. Farrell from better Health. Know you're doing a great job. You know, Burnett county is an important milestone for all of us here because the results that you're getting and the way we talk about those results are really going to help the 40,000 plus other county members across all different counties. So what I'm asking to do right now, if you could just take a moment, give me a quick video back, a response of how you're doing, how you're finding the program kind of results you get. Scale is one thing, but what all the other intangible results you're getting and what really are you learning about your body and essentially how to get back to you. Becoming independently healthy is what I want. So would love to have you share some ideas and some of the results you're getting that might help inspire others. As you know, this pilot is important because we're going to take all of the data, all the outcomes, and then be able to put it all together to help inspire other people, other people throughout the county. So your success is not just yourselves and for your family. It's also going to help a lot of other people. So appreciate you. Just give me a quick video feedback and let me know how it's going. Quick testimonial, if you will, and keep up the good work. If you need anything, you always got my cell phone, my email, and I'll be reaching out to you as well along the way, but I want you to keep going. My coaches are got to really get you to the best level to where you feel like, you know what, I got this and I'm ready to take the wheel myself. So, again, this is Dr. Farrell.
