What is a health coach?You may have a friend who hired a health coach to help her lose weight, or seen a health coach offering services online. But what exactly does a health coach do? A health coach fills the void between the patient and the health care industry, that is set up really as a disease care industry. The system we currently have in place does a lousy job of preventative care and providing easy to understand guidelines on how to actually stay healthy and disease free. This is where the health coach comes in. A health coach is most often trained in functional medicine and has a truly holistic perspective of the body and health. A health coach understands how all the systems of the body work together to maintain health. They also understand that each person is unique and a one size fits all recommendation on how to stay or get healthy does not work. A health coach takes time to get to know and understand each individual client in order to customize their health prescription. is a health coach right for me?I believe that every individual could benefit from working with a health coach. A health coach can help an already healthy person get past that one issue still persisting and connect all the dots of a healthy lifestyle for them. A health coach can help someone with a chronic disease like type 2 diabetes understand why they have the condition and the way forward to better manage and possibly reverse the disease. A health coach will connect you with the best resources and education on how to get healthy and stay healthy. They give the support and accountability that allows people to finally take control of their health and life.
When you are healthy and know how to maintain that health long term, the world and all its opportunities open up to you. You can think clearly, you have energy to participate in activities and give more of yourself to those you love. When you are in control of your health, you can life the life you want, the life you were created for!
