Practical wellness coaching for busy adults

Feel better.
Think clearer.

Build practical habits for nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, connection, and lower-risk choices — without turning your life upside down.

ADHD-friendly coaching informed by the six pillars of lifestyle medicine.

Alan Zizmor, practical wellness coach

Start here

You want to make a change. You just do not know where to start.

Maybe you know what you “should” do, but sleep, meals, stress, focus, and a demanding schedule keep colliding.

You are not failing. You need a plan that fits your actual life — and support to adjust it when life changes.

The framework

Six connected pillars.

Informed by the six pillars of lifestyle medicine. They are connected — which is why improving one usually makes the next one easier.

  • Eat Well

    Optimal nutrition

    Make nourishing food easier to choose, prepare, and repeat.

  • Move Often

    Physical activity

    Build movement that fits your energy, body, and schedule.

  • Sleep Restfully

    Restorative sleep

    Create cues and routines that support more consistent rest.

  • Reset Stress

    Stress management

    Practice small ways to recover, regulate, and respond.

  • Stay Connected

    Positive social connection

    Strengthen the relationships and community that support wellbeing.

  • Reduce Risk

    Avoidance or reduction of risky substances

    Make safer, informed choices and connect with clinical support when needed.

How coaching works

Six connected pillars. One workable next step.

We look at the full picture, choose the area that can help most right now, and build from there.

  1. Understand

    We look at the whole picture across all six pillars — including what your week actually looks like, not the idealized version.

  2. Choose

    We pick the one area that will help most right now. One. You will never be asked to overhaul all six at once.

  3. Practice

    You run a small experiment with a clear cue, a specific action, and a fallback version for the days that fall apart.

  4. Adjust

    We look at what happened as information, not a grade, and change the plan to fit what we learned.

Attention and executive function

ADHD-friendly by design

This is a coaching approach applied across all six pillars — not a separate program, and not a claim to treat ADHD. It is simply how the work is structured, and it tends to help anyone with a full plate.

  • One thing at a time

    A single recommended action, not a list you have to triage before you can start.

  • Reminders you control

    You choose the timing, the channel, and your quiet hours. Nothing nags by default.

  • Almost no setup

    Generous defaults, so the plan starts working before you have configured anything.

  • Honest time estimates

    Every step says how long it takes, because “quick” is not a unit of time.

  • A fallback version

    Each commitment has a smaller version for the days that come apart. That is the plan working.

  • No shame, no streak loss

    A missed day is information. There is no red failure state and nothing to lose.

Questions

Before you book.

Is coaching the same as therapy or medical care?

No. Coaching supports behavior change, planning, education, accountability, and general wellbeing. It does not diagnose or treat ADHD, insomnia, eating disorders, substance-use disorders, or any other medical or mental-health condition. When something falls outside coaching, Alan will say so and help you find the right professional.

What actually happens in the free fit call?

Forty minutes of conversation. You describe what feels stuck and what you would like to be different. Alan asks questions, tells you honestly whether coaching is likely to help, and gives you a clear next step — which is sometimes a referral rather than coaching. There is no pitch at the end.

Do I have to fix all six pillars at once?

No, and you will not be asked to. The six pillars are a map for understanding how things connect. The work itself is one area at a time, chosen because it is the one likely to help most right now.

What does “ADHD-friendly” mean here?

It describes how the coaching is structured: one action at a time, short visible steps, honest time estimates, reminders you control, a smaller fallback version of every commitment, and no shame when a week goes sideways. It is a method, not a treatment, and it tends to help anyone with a full plate.

What if I have a bad week?

That is expected, and it is useful. A missed day tells us something about the plan that a perfect week never would. We look at it as information, adjust, and continue. Nothing resets and nothing is lost.

How much does coaching cost?

The fit call is free. Program pricing is confirmed during that call, once it is clear what you actually need — so you are never quoted for something that does not fit.

What happens to what I tell you?

What you share in coaching stays between you and Alan. The Wellness Snapshot on this site is scored entirely in your browser and your answers are never sent anywhere. If you have a question about your information, email azizmorumd@gmail.com.

Start with a conversation, not a commitment.

In 40 minutes, we will clarify what feels stuck, what you want to change, and whether coaching is the right next step.
