Healthy Parents Raise Healthy Kids: It Starts With You
How Parents Can Build a Healthier Family By Prioritizing Their Own Health
At Premer Health & Performance, we help high-performing families, locally in Nebraska and virtually across the U.S., move better, feel stronger, and lead by example.
Your Kids Are Watching And Learning From You
As a parent, you want your kids to grow up strong, confident, and healthy. You want them to eat better, move more, and build habits that support a thriving life.
But here’s the truth: Your actions matter more than your advice.
Your kids aren’t just listening to what you say, they’re watching what you do. If you want to raise healthy kids, it starts with modeling health in your own life first.
Your Health as a Parent Matters Most
Parenting is nonstop. Between school drop-offs, work, meals, and managing a household, it’s easy to put your own health last. You might think:
“I’ll take care of myself when things slow down.”
“I’m too busy right now.”
“As long as the kids are okay, I’m okay.”
But if you're constantly tired, sore, or stressed… that becomes their definition of adulthood. And the habits you model, good or bad, shape how your kids view health for life.
Why Parents Get Stuck (and How to Break Free)
You're not alone. Many parents in the Lincoln, NE & Omaha, NE area tell us they feel:
Guilty for spending time on themselves
Overwhelmed by starting something new
Unsure what "healthy" should actually look like
Here’s the mindset shift: Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
Here’s what to let go of:
Waiting for the “perfect” time to start
Thinking health means going all-in
Treating your body reactively instead of proactively
You don’t need perfection. You need consistency, support, and a system that fits your real life.
Here’s What Happens When You Model Health as a Parent
When you make your health a priority, your kids learn:
Moving your body is normal
Prioritizing real food is valuable
Managing emotions and stress is possible
Rest and recovery are part of being strong
Health is a priority, not a punishment
It’s not about making your kids mimic you, it’s about building a home where health feels normal, not hard.
Real Struggles We Hear From Parents
At Premer Health & Performance, we regularly work with parents who say:
“My back hurts every time I lift my kid.”
“I don’t have time to get healthy.”
“I’ve let myself go and feel stuck.”
“I want to be a better example, but I don’t know where to start.”
We get it. And we’ve built a system to help you take control of your health without guilt, overwhelm, or unrealistic plans.
How We Help Parents in Nebraska (and Virtually)
Whether you're in Lincoln or Omaha, or joining us virtually from anywhere in the U.S., our performance-based care model gives you tools to thrive as a parent and a person.
1. Movement Assessments
We evaluate how your body moves and address the root cause of pain or dysfunction so you can lift your kids, stay active, and prevent injury.
2. Strength & Capacity Training
We design efficient, custom strength programs using Tonal, so even 20-minute workouts deliver results.
3. Chiropractic & Recovery Care
Stay mobile, pain-free, and resilient with targeted chiropractic care and soft tissue therapy.
4. Functional Medicine & Lab Testing
Struggling with low energy, brain fog, or mood swings? We run personalized labs to find and fix what’s under the surface.
5. Lifestyle Guidance & Support
We help you build daily habits that actually work, with accountability and realistic guidance, not perfectionism.
Final Word: Your Health Is a Legacy
You’re not just raising kids. You’re raising future adults. And your habits become their default.
You don’t have to be the fittest or strongest parent on the block. You just have to lead with intention. Because healthy parents raise healthy kids, and it starts with you.
