“HOW WE MODEL A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WILL IMPACT THE FUTURES OF OUR CHILDREN”
A rising concern in recent years has been the increase in obesity among children and adolescents. For children between the years of 2 and 5 and adolescents between 12 and 19, the rate of obesity has more than doubled since the 1970s. For children between the ages of 6 and 11, the rate has tripled. Almost one third of all children today are overweight or obese.
Ideal Studio practices the L.E.A.N. Programs developed by Dr. William Sears, known as America's Pediatrician," and Sean Foy, M.A., a leading exercise physiologist and nutrition expert. While most nutrition education programs target children, the L.E.A.N. Program is one of the first to be uniquely designed for parents, caregivers and individuals.
We believe change starts with the parents. Unlike other programs out there that focus solely on the children, we’ve determined that in order to achieve real success, the education and behavior change of parents is critical.
To make a significant change in the health of our children, we must emphasize the role parents play in modeling healthy behavior, and educate the whole family on the benefits and principles of nutrition.
Obesity isn't the only problem our kids are facing, and our L.E.A.N. program tackles a number of nutrition-related illnesses and behavioral challenges. Parents participating in our programs are motivated by wanting their children to be healthy, and ultimately we are seeing significant improvement in both the parents and children. Life changing results.
We tackle all things lifestyle and food. Schedule a consultation call today to discuss what areas your family can use our support.
