Plover, WI 鈥� Feb. 1, 2021 鈥� The 午夜视频 (WIT) has announced Claudia Rodriguez as its February Member of the Month. She is a wellness coach for Rolling Strong.

Rodriguez has been in the wellness industry for over twelve years. Prior to joining Rolling Strong a year and a half ago, she had an online health products store. She also gave health and wellness workshops at universities, businesses, and other places around El Paso.

After a colleague emailed Rodriquez the Rolling Strong job posting saying, 鈥淭his job posting describes you,鈥� she decided to apply. Now she is thrilled to be using her talents in the trucking industry.

The trucking industry has unique health challenges. Although Rodriguez had coached people to improve their health for years through one-on-one coaching and workshops, she knew coaching professional drivers would be different. Even recommending something simple like 鈥渄rink more water鈥� is hard for truck drivers. 鈥淔irst, I had to listen to their challenges and what they struggled with, and then I adapted my recommendations to something that would work for them,鈥� she said.

Because she is a wellness coach, one might assume that Rodriguez doesn鈥檛 struggle with incorporating healthy habits, but it鈥檚 quite the contrary. 鈥淚 actually decided to get my certification as a Health and Nutrition Advisor to find answers for my own struggles like my sugar addiction and my struggle with incorporating an exercise routine,鈥� she said.

Some health principles Rodriguez has learned over the years include:

• Just because something works (like a diet or exercise type) doesn鈥檛 mean it works for everyone. So, don鈥檛 feel bad if CrossFit or Keto didn鈥檛 work for you.
• You don鈥檛 have to label your eating habits for you to eat healthy.
• Emotions play a huge role on your health, take care of your mental health. 

• What works for you now, might not work in the future (you know, life!) so be extra patient with yourself when trying to find what works now.

Women In 午夜视频 is currently hosting a health competition through Rolling Strong that will end on February 15. Rodriguez coaches the participants on their health journey. 鈥淓very day I am inspired by the drivers I coach. I admire their discipline, how they overcome obstacles, and how they keep going even when they鈥檙e tired. Eating healthy, exercising, sleeping well, and drinking water is a challenge for drivers. It鈥檚 definitely easier to eat fast food and consume energy drinks. However, what these drivers understand is that what they do every day affects their health and longevity,鈥� she said.

For those drivers that are ready to make changes, the Rolling Strong program helps them incorporate healthy habits, lose weight, lower their blood pressure and cholesterol, improve their sleep, among other things. The Rolling Strong app allows for easy tracking of daily habits, personalized coaching, and competitions. This gives participants an opportunity to set a short-term goal, have a sense of community, and win prizes along the way.

鈥淎s women we have to re-learn so many things we鈥檝e been taught in order to reach our full potential," she said. "We were taught to be good, to be quiet, and to be pretty. We need to learn that it鈥檚 okay take up space, to speak up, to say 鈥榥o鈥�, to set boundaries and be okay with disappointing others."
