Online Education

The FitThumb Portal offers a vast array of educational offerings on key topic areas that are central to great health and avoidance of debilitating chronic disease. Research shows that adults and small children share one thing in common - a short attention span! There is so much competing for our time and attention that if we need more than 10 minutes to complete the task, it will not get done. Micro-learning - based on Adult Learning Principles - is the best way (our way) to educate a busy adult!

Built in personal assessment, current information and easy-to-adopt guiding road maps for change are all key elements provided in our classes. Users gain personal insight as they discover their own unique health beliefs and current life patterns, while gaining new understanding that leads to better behavioral choices & balanced living going forward.

Monthly on-line classes are offered in multiple topic areas focused on physical and emotional health:
