How Bertha Transformed Her Health with Community Challenge & Coaching

From Awareness to Action: How Bertha Transformed Her Health with Community Challenge & Coaching

Through participation in the Healthier Texas Community and Free Health Coaching Services, Bertha shared she was able to stay accountable with her health goals, which had previously been a challenge. What started as a simple sign-up turned into a journey toward better health, mindfulness, and community connection.

Discovering a Path to Better Health

Bertha first learned about the Community Challenge through a flyer and decided to give it a try. She quickly realized how much she loved tracking her healthy actions and discovering new ways to stay active.

“I love it! It keeps me accountable, reporting the healthy actions and pictures. I love that there are parks everywhere I can see in the app! I log into it, even during the off-season.”

The simple act of logging small habits made a huge difference. As she participated in the challenge, Bertha noticed she was making small but meaningful changes in her daily life—eating better, moving more, and improving her overall well-being.

Overcoming Challenges & Seeing Results

Before joining the Community Challenge and Telehealth Coaching, Bertha shared that she had struggled with high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. That’s when Healthier Texas’ free virtual coaching and fitness classes gave her the extra push she needed.

“The Health Coaches are excellent! Just a little nudge to help keep you going! I tell all my friends!”

Through personalized coaching and encouragement, Bertha began making lasting changes:

Started eating breakfast—something she had skipped.
Adopted healthier eating habits—learning what works for her body.
Became more active—even picking up jogging!
Saw major improvements in her health—her cholesterol dropped, and she is no longer pre-diabetic!

Bertha even got her A1C levels tested at a community health event during the Community Challenge, where she saw firsthand the progress she was making.

The Power of Community & Virtual Support

Another benefit to Health Coaching and Community Challenge was community and connection. Between logging activities in the Community Challenge app, attending virtual classes, and checking in with her health coach via Zoom, Bertha was surrounded by a supportive and motivating community.

She credits these resources for keeping her motivated and accountable, even after the challenge ended.
