"Right now, I am in the middle of a full time job at the hospital and full time school, as well as planning for my wedding. I wanted and needed a healthy outlet, somewhere I could go and have a good community, and somewhere that I would push myself to be healthy.
I love coming every day before work to either jog on the treadmill or swim laps in the pool. It has helped so much both physically and mentally. I have had the goal to start weightlifting, and it has been such an incredible experience meeting new goals and seeing all that I am capable of." stated Kateriela.
She has been a member of LIFT for four months. She said she feels so much healthier and stronger. Katriela said, “My mind is clearer as I go into my busy shifts at the hospital. Jeremy Pittman, he helps me keep motivated and focused on my goals”.
LIFT would like to congratulate Kateriela on her upcoming wedding to our very own Member Services Associate Jeremy Pittman.

Louise has lost 40lb. with the HMR Program at LIFT!!! |
"I have fought my weight since I was 18 and had my first child. I've tried so many different programs that I can't remember them all. I even had gastric bypass surgery in October 1982.
When I came to the HMR program, it was my orthopedic Dr suggestion. I needed a hip replacement and weighted 230 lbs. After much prayer, knowing I couldn't do it on my own I started on Phase 1 of the program. I'm so thankful I did. I lost slowly because I wasn't able to do much exercise, but I learned how to eat healthy and be consistent with my eating habits.
I had my hip replacement November 2021 and plan to have a healthy and blessed year. I'm looking forward to being active again. As my friend Clara says "A body in motion stays in motion".
I highly recommend the HMR program. Good luck and may God bless your efforts as He has blessed mine."
Congratulations on your success!! We are SO proud of YOU!!

•I joined CF LWC in January 2021 because I wanted a new challenge plus get stronger. I always run or bike but rarely did any strength training.
•I like CF LWC because it challenges me in many ways. I love the varied programming and the personal challenge of doing my best for each WOD. You also get to be part of a tribe that works together and encourages each other. The coaches really care about you and take pride in your success. Blake and Chelsea have helped me grow so much as a person.
• When I started, I was not very strong and lacked confidence in myself. I could not even do a pull up and now I can perform several in a row. I have gained the ability to do things I never thought possible. I have greater confidence in myself and I am investing in my future health.

Andee Dowdy
Hi, I’m Andee!
I’m an Exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer here at LIFT Wellness. Growing up, I played various sports, including softball, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming, and cross country. My love for staying active drove me to choose a career path that would help educate others about their bodies and how to be kind to it. That led me to Freed-Hardeman University, where I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology.
To further my knowledge and career, I was certified as an Exercise Physiologist & Personal Trainer through ACSM, Pilates Instructor through ASFA, and am currently working on a Nutrition Coach Certification through NASM. My goal is to give you the tools that will help you take charge of your health and fitness goals with confidence!

What food can help reduce your risk for heart disease, colon cancer, constipation, AND help relieve inflammation and itching on your skin? Oats! In a world where many people are cutting back on carbs, oats are fighting back with powerful health benefits.
Oats have a large amount of fiber and can help reduce risk of coronary artery disease. The soluble fiber found in oats can significantly reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) without reducing HDL cholesterol (the good kind). A diet including plenty of whole grains, such as oats, can also reduce blood pressure. This makes them extra special this month, because February is Heart Health Month!
But the health benefits don’t stop there. One study found that for every additional 10 grams of fiber per day in your diet, there is a 10% reduction in the risk for colorectal cancer. According to the study, the fiber that was thought to be most beneficial was fiber from cereals and whole grains, like oats! The soluble fiber in oats also help move everything along in your digestive tract, reducing constipation.
If you are working out more or trying to lose weight, oats can be a great option any time of the day! One study showed that eating oats about 45 minutes to an hour before moderate-intensity exercise can improve metabolism and performance! The fiber contained in oats also helps you feel satisfied for longer after your meal, so you won’t go hungry throughout the day.
Although the most obvious way to eat oats is oatmeal, it’s not the only way! Here is a simple and tasty recipe for homemade granola bars you can enjoy any time of the day. They will also help you meet the USDA recommendation for making whole grains half of the grains you eat in a day.
