Research leader @ Mayo Clinic | Follow me for insights on habits, productivity, and self-actualization | On a mission to normalize health

70% of American adults are overweight or obese. 
40% of cancers are preventable. 
72% of adults report health impacts due to stress.

I've worked with 300+ cancer patients as a health and wellness coach at the Mayo Clinic. 
And I've noticed a few things during this time:

-No one wants to be unhealthy
-Medications and procedures can keep you alive
-But it's lifestyle change that will help you build resilient health

And there's an unfortunate misconception out there that health is difficult to build. 
That "exercise" = self-imposed suffering
That "healthy foods" = kale smoothies
That joint pain is normal. 

But if you've got a demanding professional life, you need to implement low-friction habits and routines to preserve your health. 90 minutes at the gym 5x/week is not an option. 

This is the stuff I help people with. 
Simple health that will last a lifetime. 
So you can back to  your mission. 

Over the course of 12 weeks, we’ll develop habits and routines that will help you lose the weight, dissolve the stress, and reclaim your health. 
Should we talk?

About me

I’m a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Zambia) and Mayo Clinic-certified health and wellness coach.

I’m the author of the twice-weekly email newsletter 66.1 (66point1.com), which merges science and common sense to help you live healthier, for longer.

Marcus Frick

Talked with a gentleman the other day. 96 years old. #1 Rotarian in his state 3 years running. Still works full-time selling insurance. He’s got heart disease, cancer, bad knees. Daughter says, “Dad, you’ve got to slow down or you’re going to die!” He says, “I've got to keep going or I’m going to die!” 

So far, he’s right. 
Doesn’t it make you wonder…

If retirement is overrated?
How many lives he's touched over the course of a 74 year career?
If longevity is correlated with how often you make other people smile?

Building healthy founders, people, and companies

Had a "New Year's Resolution" conversation today. 
Raised a few questions. 

If you're...

Overweight.
Stressed out.
Struggling to sleep.

And looking at the calendar, deciding what kind of resolution you want to make come the New Year.
Wondering if, before the New Year, the holidays are just going to make all these problems even worse...

Is there anything you could do today to set yourself up for success come January 1?
Does improving your life have to wait until the calendar reads "2026"?

Care to have a conversation? 
I'm crowdsourcing some wisdom gathering.
5 minute interview on 1-3 things you can do in the final 6 weeks of 2025 to make sure you hit the ground running in 2026. 
Send a DM and we'll find a time. 

Or maybe you'd prefer to share your thoughts in the comments?

Overdid it on Thanksgiving stuffing?

7 ways to lose 1 pound this week: 

1. Walk additional 7000 steps/day
2. Skip dessert every day for the next week
3. Don’t eat for 1 whole day (ask your doctor)
4. Don’t drink anything for 1 whole day (not recommended!)
5. Replace Coke with Olipop
6. Replace 2 beers after work with a walk
7. Turn every “touchpoint” into a walking meeting

Is there one in here that might work for you?
Or something that didn’t make the list that might be your ticket to 1 pound?

Doctor (or spouse?!) told you you’d do well to lose a pound this week?
Send a DM.

Rules, rules, rules!
Yuck.

Sleep 8 hours/night. 

But why, then, are there nights when you sleep for 5 hours and feel great?
Or others when you sleep for 9 hours and feel like you got hit by a train?

Drink 3 Liters of water/day. 

But what if you’re not thirsty?
Why would you drink water if you’re not thirsty?
If you’re eating a whole foods diet, do you need to drink the same amount of water as if you were eating a diet full of processed foods?

Eat 2,000 calories per day. 

What if you’re a super athlete?
What if you have a sedentary job?
Spent the day traveling?
What foods should make up these 2,000 calories anyway?

Who makes these rules?
Are they working?

Want to figure out what works for you?
DMs are open.

Talked to a CEO + founder client this afternoon. He called to say thanks. His people are losing weight, more productive, happier, less stressed. 

I reminded him that he’s the one who connected his people with their health guy. And he’s good at picking high-potential people. 

His sales guy was expecting to have a down quarter (“Q4 is always slow”). He’s on track to have his second-best month in the 5 years he’s been at the company. What happened?

“I’ve got more energy so I’ve been reaching out to prospects more.”
 
I asked the founder why he invested in this kind of support for his people. What sort of ROI was he hoping to see?

His answer, “Not really worried about ROI. Not everyone has access to this kind of thing and I figured it could help them.”

Can doing the right thing for your people really help your bottom line???

Client texted today to cancel this afternoon’s call. She’s sick, Thanksgiving is coming, the works. 

No sweat. Same day + time next week? 

Yep. 

I went to change the calendar invite immediately. 
Client had already sent a new invitation with updated day and time. 

What if we all operated like this client?
Wouldn’t the world be a better place?

A couple weeks back, a friend sent a piece about his friend who used AI as his health coach. Helped him with some technical stuff like suggesting he ask his doctor about a new medication because the current one was messing up his hormones. Smart.

Another friend told me he wouldn’t hire a health coach because all the information is available online. True. And fine, because he doesn’t need a health coach. 

So, what’s left? Is AI coming for everyone’s job? Are you going to ChatGPT your way to losing 50 pounds? Is knowing what you need to do enough?

Talking to a friend back in June. He’s in his early 70s, got a new hip a couple years ago. 

When it was time for a new hip, his doctor said hold on, not so fast, you’ve gotta lose some weight first. In August, his doctor said he’d schedule the surgery tentatively for February, on the condition that my friend had to be 20 lbs lighter by then. 

He’s a pretty focused guy, plus he was tired of not being able to do the stuff he wanted to, sick of the pain. Had lost the weight in the past, had a plan, was confident he could do it again. 

He got it done. Lost the 20 lbs in 10 weeks. Then, starting in mid-October, he called his doctor every day (focused, remember?).
“Any cancellations?” No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes. Got the new hip the day before Thanksgiving. Had a whole new life by February. 

But what if you’re not like my friend?
Don’t have a plan, haven’t lost the weight before?
But still need a new hip/knee/etc.?

Drinking coffee, reading 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. There's some stuff in the epilogue about self-help. 

The question, "If telling someone what to do was enough, wouldn't we know it already?" came up. 

Reminded me of a friend who sent a DM a couple weeks ago. Said something like, "I know you charge for this stuff, but maybe you can share a few free tips with a friend? Please? I need to lose weight." 

4,000 weeks. This guy is in his early 30s. 30x52 = 1560 weeks gone, 40% of life is in the rearview. 

Doesn't it make you wonder?

Is another podcast episode, another free tip going to get you from where you are to where you want to be? 
How long has it been this way? 
How long are you going to tolerate it?

3 things I heard this week: 

-"I'm walking 12,000 steps/day."
-"My clothes aren't so tight anymore!"
-"My girlfriend told me she's proud of the progress I'm making."

You have the support you need to get where you want to go?
Going to lone wolf it? 
Got a plan?

Say you lose 10 pounds by 12/31/2025...who's the first person to notice?

Talked to a guy today:

He's lost weight before. That time around, he started 75 Hard and stopped eating at the same time. If it’s all about CICO, he was a model student.

But it sucked!
Energy was low, he was injured a few weeks in.
Made it 25% of the way to his weight loss goal.
3 months later he had gained it all back +20 lbs.

Doing it differently this time around.
More exercise, but not so extreme.
Eating plenty, and it's all real stuff.
Doesn’t count calories, macros, etc.
And? 

He’s down 10 pounds in the last 6 weeks. 
Shooting for 15 by Thanksgiving. 
Family telling him he’s got more energy. 

Can it really be simple, pain-free, maybe even fun?!?!

What's your biggest obstacle to losing weight?

YOU'RE DOING THIS WORK BECAUSE.....

You want to do work with meaning while creating freedom for yourself.

But it's hard...

✔️ You want to grow your business but not your stress + workload 

✔️ You know you're a good coach but you don't know where your next client is coming from

✔️ Everyone comes to you for support + guidance, but who do you go to?

✔️ You know you need to get your message out there (marketing) + enroll people (sales) but don't want to do anything that feels icky

✔️ You have an exciting vision but not the frameworks, methods, and systems to get there


What if there was an easy way to have Dream Clients coming to you? 

I know, it’s a bold statement.

CURIOUS OR HAVE QUESTIONS? Send me a DM :)

Robb Gilbear

I won't pretend it's easy. And you have to be a little crazy to say yes to this list....

Feeling vulnerable as you put yourself out there.

Constantly questioning if you're good enough as you learn new skills, tools, and platforms.

Being the head of...

Sales
Admin
Delivery
Creativity
Marketing
Accounting
and everything else when you're starting out.

Having to push through doubt, rejection, and launches that flop.

All while being slapped by the reality of any deeper work that you've managed to avoid up to this point because there's nowhere to hide from your baggage when you're building your own thing.

BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THE ALTERNATIVE...

Commuting to a job that drains you, in clothes you hate to wear, to try and impress people you don't like, who will fire you in a minute if it meets the business needs....

I'll pass and carve my own path.

7 ways to know you have a messaging problem in your coaching business....

When your messaging is off, everything else in your business is more difficult. That's why dialling in a Magnetic Message is where I start with (almost) every client.

And after working with 430+ people from 17 different countries, I've seen the patterns.

So here's 7 signs that your messaging needs some love...

1. YOU FEEL AWKWARD ANSWERING THE “WHAT DO YOU DO” QUESTION.
You dread the question or find yourself feeling embarrassed after trying to answer it.

2. IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN YOUR VALUE WITHOUT A LONG BACKSTORY.
You need 10 minutes to explain what you do + why it matters. 

3. PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO KNOW IF YOU'RE THE COACH FOR THEM.
When folks land on your profile or website they can't quickly identify if you're the coach "for them" or not. That's because your language is too broad ("I help humans transform their life"), because you're showing zero personality, or because you're using too much coachy coach jargon that doesn't mean anything to the average person.

4. YOU'RE ATTRACTING THE WRONG CLIENTS.
The people who reach out either don't align with your values, drain your energy, aren't ready to buy, or are in total crisis mode.

5. YOU'RE NOT PROUD OF YOUR CONTENT, PROFILE, OR WEBSITE. 
The words don't sound like you. Maybe you borrowed language from other coaches, filtering what you say, or hiding who you really are. 

6. YOUR CONTENT GETS ENGAGEMENT BUT YOU DON'T GET INQUIRES.
Claps ain't cash. So even though you're getting likes + comments, you're not getting clients. This means what you're sharing is interesting, but it's missing what makes people take action.

7. WHEN YOU DO GET ON CALLS WITH PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO DO A LOT OF EXPLAINING.
You have to spend a lot of your time on calls explaining, teaching, and maybe even convincing people (instead of the calls being about strategy + if you two are a fit).

If you're feeling any of these and what to chat, DM me messaging.

There's currently 73 people signed up. And what I've learned in the last six years is these 73 peeps are actually more likely to achieve the goals + intentions they set for next year.
