The Benefits of Being a Health Coach
Being an online health coach has many benefits, primarily the trilogy of optimal health: physical health, mental health, and financial health. The physical health comes from the healthy and slimming Medifast diet. Many of the online health coaches were originally clients who were so impressed by the benefits that they wanted to share their success with others. Hafidha Sofia Acuay, who owns the Healthy Nerds blog (http://healthynerds.com/coaching), started off as a client (“I joined Take Shape for Life as a client because I wanted to lose some weight. What I did not expect was the renewed sense of vitality I experienced.”) but became so impressed that she became an online health coach (“My initial thought was, “Me? A health coach?” But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. I felt so much gratitude for how Take Shape for Life had improved the quality of my life - how could I express it?”). The satisfaction that comes from helping others is what leads to the mental health that comes from a sense of accomplishment in fulfilling a vital need. As Daphne and Vannoy Garrett say, "After experiencing the benefits of using the product, we realized that we had something unique and beneficial for everyone."
Get Healthy, Help Others, and Make Money with the Take Shape for Life Program
As an online health coach you can benefit from its many network marketing opportunities that come from business networking through the Take Shape for Life Program. No financial award feels better than one that comes from helping others to dramatically improve their health and by doing so, better their lifestyles. You receive anywhere from 10-35% of the sales as you receive training as an online health coach and then build and train your own team through business networking. Of the many network marketing opportunities out there, this is the only one designed for a purpose that goes beyond merely making money—business networking with the goal of disease prevention through a healthy nutritional diet. Now that’s a goal to strive for!
Co-Founder and Medical Director of Take Shape for Life

Dr. Andersen is a board certified Anesthesiologist and Critical Care Specialist. He served as Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology and Director of Critical Care at a major teaching hospital in the Midwest.

"Observing the pivotal role nutrition plays in recovery from illness inspired me to redirect my focus into the preventative arena. I strongly believe education, tools and support are required to create long-term solutions for optimal nutritional health. Significant results fuel and motivate the individual to pursue a healthier lifestyle"
In the 21st century, poor nutrition combined with sedentary lifestyle is quickly surpassing smoking as the nation’s number one cause of preventable death. Despite our wealth and prosperity, our society is extremely overfed but undernourished. Even with our advancing medical technology, the next generation of Americans may tragically live shorter lives than the previous generation… unless we do something about it now!
Take Shape for Life is the culmination of his belief in innovative nutritional intervention as essential in both health and disease management. An assembled team of like minded medical professionals provides access to a comprehensive program which assures long term solutions to great health. The combination of leading edge products and an infrastructure of trained health advisors rounds out a formula for success.
"Take Shape for Life is a dynamic bionetwork of people who have taken responsibility for their health and are helping others do the same! Working together, we will fulfill our mission to re-establish America as the healthiest country in the world."

Take Shape For Life Is A New Kind Of Enterprise
Healthy body, healthy mind, and healthy finances. Together these three vital elements blend to form the Trilogy of Optimal Health - a specific lifestyle that elevates happiness and minimizes stress.
- Healthy Body - physical health is the foundation of a happy and fulfilling life. Achieving a healthy body requires two things: 1) reaching a healthy weight using Medifast Meals, and 2) adopting the BeSlim philosophy which incorporates six core behaviors to help attain and maintain Optimal Health.
- Healthy Mind - how we feel about ourselves also affects long term Optimal Health. Through personal development, learning ways to release stress, and creating time for ourselves, we take control of our lives. That sense of freedom breeds happiness - another key to Optimal Health.
- Healthy Finances - debt causes stress - and stress can take a severe toll on both your physical and mental health. By managing and eliminating debt, learning ways to budget, and or seizing financial opportunities, you further yourself on the road to Optimal Health.
