Before joining the Coaching Holobody Certification(CHC) course, my interest in healthy living strategies began in my early teen years. My motivation was so great that I became a certified teacher of health and physical education. My intentions were to not only teach, but lead by example. I exercised regularly and was attentive to my dietary intake most of the time. Additionally, I loved sports and competition. After navigating many personal injuries and because of my love for health, I became a licensed athletic trainer to help others avoid and heal sports injuries. Despite my extensive knowledge and commitment to living a healthy lifestyle, I faced many health issues, which led to trying many supplements that showed any promise to fix my many ailments. This approach led to a body and mind that was out of balance and struggling to find joy in living. At the time when I enrolled in CHC, I was in an especially challenging state of health. I was undergoing some intensive cancer treatments; had just gone through minor heart surgery for AFIB; and my body was riddled with osteoarthritis from decades of playing sports and pushing my body’s limits. I desperately wanted to work on my health and find healthy, holistic solutions.
After having gone through the CHC course, I am hopeful as it has given me what I need to build a truly balanced, healthy life. You revealed factors that influenced the quality of life which I had not fully addressed. You helped me discover many mistakes, one of which was not listening to my body. “The Body Talk” practice, in itself was transformative as I learned to listen to and honor my body. Also, I loved the research-based approach that didn’t proclaim, one prescription fits all. The depth of the material taught has given me a foundation to truly build health the way God designed it. The manageable approach of the course made it easier to integrate so many changes in my life already; and, the encouraging strategies taught have made it more likely to get up when I fall short. I also loved the lessons of how to keep learning and growing continually as life throws different challenges my way, like high cholesterol levels despite a good diet. This practice of continual learning is giving me useful strategies to try without relying on risky drugs. Lastly, I have been aggressively practicing Vishen’s “lofty questions” – it has been helping immensely, keeping me positive and hopeful through the difficulties. I loved the safe community to share our journeys so powerfully together. Interestingly, the course helped me to connect deeper with my spiritual resources: the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I appreciated your approach to teaching so many healthy spiritual practices in such an open and respectful way! The list of positive things I received and implemented by participating in CHC could go on and on – Thank You!!!
My future intention with Holobody was to start a successful coaching business. This isn’t going to happen as quickly as I had hoped. CHC has helped me wisely choose to continue the good fight until I get my well-being in a place where I can take on the issues of others. I very much look forward to giving back by sharing this knowledge with interested friends, family, and the world. Thank you, to all the amazing, generous, and talented people that I’ve been able to work with–You’ve blessed me richly! I look forward to staying in touch, continually growing together, and bringing the skills we’ve learned to our circle of influence–empowering superhero stories wherever we go!!!
Truly grateful,
Michael Gloor

PS. I didn't include pictures, but I did lose 10 pounds and lost 3% body fat through the program even though my doctors were warning me that I would gain both weight and fat because of the chemo treatments.
