About Us
Our Why
Argent Living was founded by Linda Wall because of her passion for Lifestyle Medicine, and her belief that much of our personal health and well-being is within our control.
Throughout the last few decades, the focus of healthcare has been to treat rather than prevent disease. During this same time there has been a continuous increase in the number of individuals suffering from chronic disease due to poor metabolic health. Even more disheartening is that as part of this trend we are seeing younger patients, including children, seeking treatment for chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
There is a substantial amount of recent research pointing to our lifestyles as a major contributor to these chronic conditions. Lack of physical activity, poor eating habits, inadequate sleep and stressful lives all contribute to the downward trend in a healthy population. The good news is these factors are all within our control.
Argent Living is Linda’s way of playing a small part in helping to change this trend. In addition to serving as a health and well-being coach, through this website Linda shares information she discovers along with resources available for anyone who wants to learn more about Lifestyle Medicine and how to create healthy habits.
About Linda
During the last several years Linda has taken the steps to transition her career to align with her personal passion for well-being. She started by making a career shift to healthcare to learn how the industry works and where “well-being” fits into the system. Linda soon realized that although there is an enormous effort to treat the sick, there is only a small movement focused on the prevention of illness. She discovered that the habits she attributed to well-being, and strived for in her personal life, had been identified as “Lifestyle Medicine”. Linda was drawn to this area of healthcare, and she decided the best way for her to to make an impacet was through health and well-being coaching.
