Point Loma resident Melissa McLane recently launched the Life Wellness Lab service after surviving thyroid cancer and dealing with the death of her best friend. With the air of youthful invincibility shattered, McLane decided to rethink her go-getter, materialistic lifestyle and discovered that her purpose was to help people with the “five circles of life,” and build her service around this concept. McLane defines the “five circles of life” as physical health and well-being, spiritual and mental health, relationships, finances, and purpose\/passion.
\nA couple decades ago in February, a five-months pregnant McLane went in to get the mysterious lump on her neck checked out at the behest of her mom, plus the harsh reality of her best friend\u2019s health issues. Despite a clean biopsy, further blood testing revealed some potentially cancerous signs. Because of these signs, her endocrinologist strongly suggested that she get surgery as soon as possible to limit the risk of losing her baby daughter. As scared as she was, both of having surgery and potentially having cancer, McLane agreed to go in four days later to have the lump removed.
\nAfter the six-hour surgery, McLane woke up in the hospital room alone. “I remember waking up and feeling my daughter move. It was such an amazing feeling. I thought, \u2018Honey we made it. We did it.\u2019 Just knowing that we made it together was such a relief, like we could do anything together.”
\nEven though McLane and her daughter pulled through the surgery and made an excellent recovery, her life would never be the same. “I was always such a go-getter. Making a lot of money and getting these material things. But I realized after that that those things weren\u2019t important.” That\u2019s when she discovered her “five circles of life.” “Well, I didn\u2019t just come up with them, they were things I learned from life experience. The first step was really just caring so much about people.” McLane has experienced people\u2019s struggles with these issues. “Health isn\u2019t just healthy eating and exercising, it\u2019s spiritual and about having good relationships with family and friends. Yes, you need finances, but what is it that drives people to passion and purpose?
\n“We\u2019ve been told things about health our whole lives. \u2018Diet: eat less, exercise more.\u2019 But I\u2019m not about deprivation or being hungry. My clients lose weight naturally and easily. You will see results within the 14 days of my program, and it\u2019s not dangerous. Your body can recover if you feed it properly.”
\nMcLane also expanded on the type of people who seek her out. “People love the support. We live in our heads so much of the time. To have someone that\u2019s not family or a friend where there\u2019s no judgement and we can be fully ourselves is so important.”
\nPeople come to me for that because they trust me. I listen to people and help them connect the dots.” The Life Wellness Lab consists of three programs: – A 14 day sugar cleanse; – A 60 minute discover session; and – A 90 day transformational program.
