What is a Wellness Quotient?
Unique to Creating Wellness is the Wellness Quotient (WQ) - a number value that indicates where your personal level of wellness falls on the scale of the wellness continuum. It is calculated by the results of a Wellness Assessment that measures you in all three dimensions of your life - physical, biochemical, and psychological.
Remember, life does not stand still. Every decision you make will move you in a direction toward wellness or sickness on the wellness continuum --- What direction are you moving in? We are here for you to help you achieve the life you want.

What is a Wellness Quotient?
It is a single number - personal to you - that is determined by the sum total of your measured response to a Creating Wellness Assessment. This Assessment includes a measurement of all three dimensions of your life - physical (Be Fit.), nutritional (Eat Right) and psychological (Think Well).
What types of tests are included in the Creating Wellness Assessment?
First, you complete a lifestyle questionnaire that considers over 50 factors that are indicators of your overall wellness.
Next, you proceed through a series of in-depth, scientific tests that measure your strength, body composition, vital lung capacity, resting heart rate, blood pressure and stress response.
Are the tests invasive?
No, the tests are non-invasive and you will remain in your street clothes throughout the series.
What areas of my body will be screened in order to determine my Wellness Quotient?
You will breathe into a lung capacity tester. Your waist will be measured. Your arm will be wrapped with a blood pressure monitor cuff. Pulling on an isometric-like bar will test your strength. Your fingertips will rest on a stress profiler.
How long will the assessment last?
The Creating Wellness Assessment will last approximately 20 minutes.
Will I get my Wellness Quotient immediately following the Assessment?
Yes, your Wellness Quotient - a single number value personal to you- will be the final sum of the Assessment you have taken.
Who will administer the Wellness Assessment?
A certified wellness coach will administer your Wellness Assessment in confidence.
