Super Nova of the Month: Jeanne Foucault
Congratulations to Jeanne on being our October SuperNova!
Jeanne, a busy mom with a demanding career, joined Nova this past summer in search of better overall health. Her goals included improving body composition, boosting energy levels, becoming more resilient to stress and showing up as her best self for her family. Embracing Nova’s holistic approach, she began her journey by combining personal training with nutrition and lifestyle coaching through our Femme Fusion program.
Success is rarely a straight path, and Jeanne is no exception. Despite the demands of work and family, she has achieved remarkable transformations in just 3 months. Here are just some of her accomplishments:
- Improved nutrition, energy, mood, stress resilience
- Started running again
- Hitting 10,000 steps a day
- Empowered her children and family to eat healthier
- Dropped nearly 10% body fat on the InBody!
- Deadlift from 45lbs to 95lbs reps of 8!
- The list goes on…
Congrats Jeanne, you are a great example of what’s possible when we believe in ourselves and are open to try new things.
Read on to hear our interview with Jeanne and some specific strategies she employed!
1)What motivated you to start your health & fitness journey with Nova Health Club?
“I was feeling stressed, heavy, low energy and irritable. I wanted a change but didn't know where to start so I inquired with Nova Health Club through their website and had an introductory call with Josh to steer me in the right direction.”
2)What strategies or habits do you believe were the most helpful to your success? Any specific workouts, diets, or routines that made a significant difference?
“The combination of Nova workouts and nutrition learned from Heather in Femme Fusion are great compliments for me. Heather supported me to know what to do and what not to do. For example, I was eating a lot of things which weren't necessarily good for me but didn't know it. Having the accountability both from my Nova trainers for exercise and Heather, my health coach and seeing them on a weekly basis helped me very much… Also, I increased my activity by making sure I stick to getting 10k steps a day!”
3)In what ways has your life improved beyond fitness and health? Have you been able to do new things that you could not before or has it positively impacted the lives of others you care about?
"My mood has improved so much. I’m more active and productive, and I’m really more engaged with my kids. What’s even better is that the whole family is now paying attention to what we eat, especially the kids!"
I’ve even managed to get a couple of evening runs in, which I haven’t been able to do in years. But overall, my energy levels have really gone up, and I’m getting so much more done in the same amount of time!"
4)Many people worry that combining fitness with nutrition and health coaching will be overwhelming. What advice would you share to inspire others to take this step?"
“My only regret is not doing it sooner. I had tried mostly fitness before, but I feel adding nutrition and health to it (sleep and stress management is very big for me) really compounds the effect. It becomes a good habit instead of a struggle dragging myself to the gym as it used to be.”
A Note from Heather, Femme Fusion Health Coach:
“Jeanne's success makes me so happy! Her success is directly related to her willingness to try new things, and her dedication to implementing them.
The most important lesson for most people is understanding HOW to put themselves first - Jeanne has made significant changes in this department, and has recognized that putting herself first helps take even better care of the whole family's needs.
Jeanne has lost inches, gained energy and excels at thinking about what she needs to continue to improve. I am happy to be working with someone like her. She is an inspiration to everyone including myself!”
