Better Health is Possible

Everyone can have better health, if you thoughtfully change just ONE thing at a time.
Discover what works, by making small changes in what you do.

What you can learn here may challenge your core values, who you are, and what you believe. This isn't easy, it will take time. Better health, and several extra years of healthy life, may be on the table. The new science isn't so hard; so make the effort to read the science. We believe what we say here is reliable, but you don't need to depend on Open Future Health. Do your own research. Keep your own written records.

There is no substitute for your personal learning.

Every one has cost pressures. Free Coaching is available but very limited.

This website, with the search engine, allows you to do a lot of learning yourself. Then you can minimise the time you need with your doctor, or a health coach. Open Future Health suggests you work through the first three Introductory Lessons. Then request a Pre-Coaching FREE interview.

Then you'll have new options, more self education, group coaching, buying a series of coaching sessions, or perhaps just a series of quite short "Checking My Direction" sessions. Ask us, we're here to help.

Request Koha Health Coaching	Register for Group Health Coaching.
Limited Koha Health Coaching available. Preference will be given to those who have worked with the Introductory Lessons.	Group Health Coaching is a possible low cost option. A set time, a small fee, and pre-registration is essential.

Write a Better Health Plan.	Request a Pre-Coaching Interview.
Your first Health Plan can be quite simple. Good health is created at home. This is entirely private form to fill in.	This is a FREE service. It will take about 15 minutes on Zoom. We need to discuss if Health Coaching is good option for you.
You can improve you own knowledge about becoming more healthy.	We will seek to make a plan for Better Health and write a contract that establishes a professional relationship.

We all believe many things about health that are not valid. Even health professionals can become trapped by their learning. We keep making wrong decisions; thinking "that's healthy."

There is "false news" everywhere, especially around something as important as what we eat. If you can take the time to "deschool" yourself and re-learn, you can resolve these issues for yourself.

Unlearn your wrong knowledge.   Getting better dietary knowledge, takes time, maybe a year or more.

The eleven pages in the Introductory Section of the website, and the worksheets offered are one way to begin an upgrade to your health knowledge.

Below are several different ways to learn about improving your health.

Each way teaches very similar things, that will reinforce what you are learning.

The Banting Diet

The Banting Diet is one of the low carbohydrate healthy fat diets that have been so successful in combating metabolic syndrome. This is what you want to do, now and you should have started yesterday.

We know, but it's a long game. To succeed you need understanding about why, and how, and where to find reliable information. Can you tell the difference between reliable and unreliable information?

Take your time. You can start the diet today, but be gentle with yourself, read the preparation pages in the introduction to this web site. You only learn when you try to DO SOMETHING, So if you are determined to be a vegetarian or a vegan (Neither of which Open Future Health recommends.) then do that. You may need to fail first, before you are ready to learn. It's your journey, and you MUST lead the way.

Give what you are doing some roots. Keep a health Journal.

Nutrition and Health Science

It's simply not ethical to conduct the sort of long term feeding experiments that would offer a scientific answer to the question "What should people eat."

One of the principles we have relied on, is the idea that we should eat "everything in moderation."

On the other hand if you look at all the other mammals in nature, they have very specialised diets. Animals that have a short gut like us, cannot ferment cellulose like large gut animals do.

Since 1998 when "The Women's Health Initiative" demonstrated the failure of the recommended diet to keep us healthy, there has been a lot of new research. Sometimes the results are surprising.
