Are you so busy with work and family responsibilities that taking care of yourself falls to the bottom of your "to do" list?

 

You want to focus on self-care and create a vision of the healthy lifestyle YOU want to lead.

But you don't know how. And, let's face it, you don't have the time to figure it all out, especially when it comes to diets and healthy eating.

You're zapped of energy and wake up exhausted because your mind is racing and you can't sleep.

You heard "sitting is the new smoking" and you want to sit less and move more, but there's no time to fit exercise into your busy workdays.

Everyone's talking about mindfulness and meditation but you don't know how to practice it to help you focus and de-stress.

There's so much information out there. It's overwhelming. 

And the hardest part: Getting Started. 

Start by taking care of yourself, so you can take things off your list and take care of others.

YOUR VIRTUAL COACH

Kim Bercovitz, Ph.D.

Hi, I'm Dr. Kim, a health/life coach and health behavior scientist (Ph.D. from the University of Toronto and former National Cancer Institute of Canada postdoctoral fellow).

My Byte-Size Wellness approach is the culmination of my 30-year research - academic career in exercise/health promotion, disease management, aging, addictions and tobacco control.

I put my research into practice and created a way to make wellness accessible and sustainable. I understand what influences health behaviors and habits and what motivates people to change. I know what combination of evidence-based strategies and approaches are needed to help people develop lifelong healthy habits. It starts with shifting from an "all-or-nothing" mindset to a micro-step, micro-habit mindset and embracing wellness as a journey, a lifestyle, not a destination. 

Tweaking one habit has a ripple effect, triggering positives changes in other inter-related health areas: diet, sleep, exercise, mindfulness and mental health. 

It's the small behaviors, the small changes in routines, when repeated consistently lead to healthy habits that have long-lasting results: More energy. Less stress. Improved self-esteem. More productive at work. Better work-life balance. Resilience. Agility. Vitality.

The benefits of byte-size wellness are cumulative --- all micro-steps, all bytes add up to a full meal! 
I look forward to holding your virtual hand and helping you revitalize by putting self-care at the top of your "to do list." 

HERE'S A SNEEK PEAK OF WHAT'S INSIDE BYTE-SIZE WELLNESS ACADEMY

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No. Byte-Size Wellness Academy is an on-line, self-paced, self-guided program that will guide you along your wellness journey: one module, one lesson, one micro-step at a time. All course modules are pre-recorded.

Each video lesson is between 2.5-10 minutes; they are short enough to binge watch or go at your own pace.

The total video viewing time is about 6 hours. There are also (optional) fillable or printable worksheets to complete and resources to read. You can spend as much or as little time on the pdf's as you like. They are thought provoking and part of the self-coaching experience.

The estimated time for full program completion (viewing videos, filling in worksheets and reading resources) is 12-15 hours -- at your own pace.

Note: You can also adjust the speed of each lesson - to view the video lessons more quickly or more slowly.

Byte-Size Wellness Academy is a micro-learning program, with all content delivered in short, digestible bytes. The program was carefully crafted to help busy people achieve sustainable results  - without the overwhelm and without a huge time investment.

We make wellness self-coaching quick and easy. BSWA maximizes what you learn within a minimal amount of time.

You will have access to the videos inside the online portal for 3 months. You may download any or all the resources to keep for lifetime access.

Why not longer than 3 months you ask?...... It takes 21 days to build a habit. By 3 months you're on your way to feeling revitalized as you embrace and embody a healthy lifestyle. I found that when participants are granted more than 3 months access to the portal, they either never got started or did not complete the program. 

I want to set you up for success. That means you WILL complete the program over 5-10 weeks. I make it super easy for you to consume the content - even binge watch it like a Netflix series. Because all content is byte-size guaranteed!

Are you so busy with work and taking care of others at the expense of taking care of yourself?

Are you zapped of energy because you wake up exhausted; your mind is racing and you can't sleep?

Do you want to sit less and move more, but there's no time to fit exercise into your busy workdays?

Do you want to try out mindfulness/ meditation practices to help you focus and de-stress?

Here's the thing: You want to up-level your self-care and create a vision of the healthy lifestyle YOU want to lead.

But you don't know how. There's so much information and misinformation out there, it's overwhelming. And, let's face it, you don't have the time to figure it all out, especially when it comes to diets and healthy eating.

Sounds familiar? Then this program is right up your alley. Start your wellness journey NOW.

Byte-Size Wellness Academy will help you take care of your well-being -- without the overwhelm!

The program is evidence-based, practical, actionable and sustainable.

All information is easy to consume and digest. Byte-Size Guaranteed.
