Wenglikowski's journey into hospice nursing began with a personal experience. "We had my dad on hospice, and we had a really good situation with that. It just made me really appreciate hospice nurses," she said. Her transition into this field highlighted her understanding of how reducing medications can improve the quality of life for terminally ill patients.
Wenglikowski emphasized the importance of proactive health management to avoid becoming long-term customers of healthcare and big pharma. "My goal is really to get people to take hold of their health and not get to that point where they are customers of health care and big pharma," she explained. Wenglikowski advocates for holistic health and wellness, helping people understand and manage their health to prevent serious health issues.
The conversation also touched on popular weight-loss methods such as injections like Ozempic. While acknowledging these as tools, Wenglikowski stressed the importance of a proper mindset. "Lots of people think that taking shots or having surgery is an easy way out. It's not really, but everything is a mindset. If you aren't in the right mind frame, those things won't work for you any better than just trying it on your own," she said.
As a holistic health and wellness coach, Wenglikowski does not prescribe diets or calorie counting. Instead, she meets people where they are in their lives and helps them address the root causes of their health issues. "What I do is meet people where they're at in their life and help them work through the issues of what's keeping them from making healthy choices," she said.
Wenglikowski's approach includes helping people recognize whether they are eating out of hunger or for other reasons, such as stress or habit. She cited studies showing that sugar addiction can mimic the brain patterns of cocaine addiction, highlighting the challenges people face in breaking unhealthy eating habits.
Reflecting on societal changes, Wenglikowski noted that portion sizes have significantly increased over the years, contributing to the obesity epidemic. "When you go to a restaurant, what they give you is usually about three times the portion size," she remarked.
Wenglikowski's mission is to educate and coach individuals towards healthier lifestyles, offering personalized plans and ongoing support. She also expressed willingness to speak to community groups and schools about health and wellness.
