Member Spotlight: Lida Johnson
“It is my vision to empower every individual to change the trajectory of their health through a holistic approach to wellness that does not rely on willpower. I help my clients gain skills, systems, and daily habits for a sustainable, transformational lifestyle.”
For Lida Johnson, empowering individuals to transform their health is more than just a career choice—it’s her calling. As the founder of Head-to-Toe Coaching, Johnson embraces a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond willpower, emphasizing the interconnectedness of body and mind as essential for a healthy lifestyle.
Hailing from Firestone, Colorado, Johnson has always been passionate about health and wellness, but her journey into the fitness industry truly began after experiencing several corporate IT layoffs. “I had my ‘aha moment’ about six years ago that I needed to be my own boss,” she says. “As I pondered what I wanted to do with my career while on a hike, it was clear that I needed to be in the health and wellness space. It had, after all, been my life’s passion—not only to be involved but to educate myself in sports, nutrition, and overall wellness.”
Johnson discovered IDEA through a friend who shared past issues of the IDEA Fitness Journal. After reading them, she knew she had found a resource that aligned with her commitment to education. “Education is a key component of any health journey, and IDEA gives me research-based information and ideas,” she explains.
Head-to-Toe Coaching embodies Johnson’s belief in the interconnectedness of total well-being. From thoughts and emotions to heart health, gut health, and physical movement, every aspect of a person is connected. This philosophy inspired the name of her business, and her certifications reflect its focus: Certified Nutritionist, Personal Trainer, Pre-Diabetes Lifestyle Coach, and Health Coach.
Her personal journey, filled with challenges and triumphs, makes her a compassionate guide to her clients. “I understand the journey is often confusing, intimidating, and overwhelming. I help my clients accelerate their transformation as I’m viewed as a trusted source.”
She reminds her clients that health is not a destination, but an ongoing journey. “Your health is not a destination. You don’t arrive at health one day and stay there. It is a constant journey.”
