Tom is head of a company conscious of looking after employee health. Assessment showed his workplace was full of aches, pains and posture issues, so he hired a physical trainer to come in three times a week. However uptake for the classes was low, and those who did attend fell away quickly. Employee health remained poor.

Empeal’s nuanced data analysis saw that what was missing was personalisation. Tom’s physical trainer wasn’t the answer, but tailored programmes of simple exercise and physiotherapy were. Engagement went up, employees felt better. This insight allowed the EAP Provider to operate more effectively and, when it was time to renew staff health insurance, to strategise cost-effective alterations to the company’s packages.

Jack has a chronic health condition. At a medical consultation, tests are done, he is prescribed medications, and given recommendations on nutrition and lifestyle. However, the clinical team have no idea how well Jack has managed his health until his repeat check up. As they discover, Jack was confused by the instructions, and he returns with his condition aggravated.

With Empeal, Jack has help in his pocket. He’s able to easily and in real-time track his health between consultations, and customised programmes guide him step-by-step through following his clinical advice. Before his next check up, Jack also simply downloads his data report to give the practitioner, so reliable information can help in choosing the patient’s next steps.

Mary is an HR manager looking after health. She tried to run a simple step challenge, but it was difficult getting employees to take part, and those who did submitted their step count via a messy stream of texts and chats and emails. Mary’s department was overloaded just trying to collate the data, never mind analyse it to help company strategy.

Empeal significantly reduced Mary’s HR stress. It was downloadable, easy to use and increased engagement. It required no management, making health drives sustainable for the first time. It centralised information, and generated clear and regular reports which were key to implementing wellbeing solutions and improving company success.

Jane is frequently unwell. She needs medical treatment and frequent visit to clinics but thankfully that’s covered through insurance. However, this causes her to miss work and results in poor social inclusion, happiness and career growth.

She has seen a trend of absenteeism in her team as well. She thinks this could be avoided with proper intervention

Jane is a customer service team leader. She feels tired all the time, has hyperthyroid issues, she’s allergic to gluten, and suffers shoulder pain due to a sedentary job and bad posture. Her wellbeing goals are to get healthier and reduce stress, but she doesn’t know where to start.

With Empeal, Jane had access to cutting edge interactive assessment and trend analysis. This soon highlighted the root causes of her health complaints, which were tackled through custom gluten-free meal suggestions and exercise programmes including shoulder rehab, and guidance and monitoring features for improved sleep. Jane quickly goes from a tired employee to a healthy and happy one.

In this blog we will discuss lifestyle medicine and the impact it can have on our wellbeing and health. Diseases and conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and multiple types of cancer are among the most common and costly of all health conditions. However, they can also be preventable. Lifestyle medicine addresses the root causes by focusing on lifestyle choices that give rise to these diseases in the first place. When implemented 

 can prevent, treat, and even reverse these conditions.

In a recent RCSI webinar on ‘The 6 Principals of Lifestyle Medicine’ Louise Tully who is a registered Public Health Nutritionist discussed the importance of upkeeping a healthy diet. Louise explained that nutrients are not just important but that they are vital.

“Macronutrients is energy sourced from protein fats, and carbohydrates and micronutrients include vitamins and minerals that maintain the normal function of all systems in our body”

According to the HSE there are approximately 

 suffering from chronic diseases which include Diabetes, Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or cardiovascular disease. According to Louise and many others, diet can play a significant role in preventing and managing these types of diseases. Louise explained some key windows in life which can dictate an individual’s future.

“Nutrition is important for everybody but at the start of life optimal nutrition in pregnancy is extremely important and can reduce the rate of chronic disease. At 6 months an infant’s iron store runs out and this is another critical period as it is important to ween infants off of liquids and onto solids. During the teenage years the highest absorption of calcium takes place, and this can be stored for later in life in the body. This is why it may be important to think about vitamin D tablets as this vitamin is needed to absorb calcium. Moving on to the later year’s menopause is another critical time as at an older age you are more likely to experience muscle wasting. To try and prevent this, pant-based proteins are excellent”.

Another insightful ideology that was brought up in the RCSI webinar is that most individuals in theory know what healthy foods they should be eating but instead there are many different barriers to successfully consuming a healthy diet. According to Louise these barriers include,

“The food environment in which we live in. This is so as we are surrounded by ultra-palatable foods that are quick, easy to make and cheap. This is especially so in towns and cities as they are easily accessible. Advertising is another big factor as foods are often marketed as fast and easy to make but unfortunately are often high in salts fats and lack nutrients. Then there is the aspect of cost as many people don’t have the resources to make healthy meals in their homes. Stress also plays a negative role on a person’s diet as many of those who work or live in a high stress environment often do not have the capacity to think about cooking a healthy meal. Often when a person is stressed it can be hard to make the time to think about grocery shopping and healthy recipes and so fast and easy meals are more enticing. One last aspect that contributes to unhealthy diets is social media. This is so as online we are bombarded with information regarding a healthy diet and more often than not the information is untrue. This can make it hard to navigate what you should be eating”.

In all it is important to ensure that the advice you follow when it comes to your health and wellbeing is accurate and comes from a credible source. From the many discussions we have had with health coaches we have learned that it is important not to overwhelm yourself and to take small steps in the right direction in order to maintain long term results.
