What's the deal with Health Coaches?
/What a health coach IS and IS NOT
A health coach IS an educator, a health resource, an accountability partner and a trusted advocate. Think of a health coach as your own personal wellness champion.
A health coach IS NOT a medical doctor, a registered dietitian, a personal trainer, a therapist or a chef. Now, of course, there are plenty of health coaches that wear multiple hats and have been trained in variety of areas, which only adds to the richness of their services, but for the sake of clarifying expectations, these are entirely separate, equally important roles.
Why work with a health coach?
Most people are out of tune with their bodies. So often we are missing the connection between what we eat, how we move, how much we sleep and how we handle stress with how we FEEL day in and day out.
Instead, we caffeinate, road rage, binge, and self-medicate until we hit our breaking point and end up in the doctor’s office. We then have 12 minutes to explain 12 months worth of aliments. We give up after minute 9 (because we’re so damn tired) and settle for a prescription. We leave momentarily satisfied because THIS, this new pill, THIS might work! But so often, it doesn’t. Or, worse yet, it can create a whole new set of issues to “manage.”
And the cycle continues…
A colleague once told me, ‘No will ever care about your career as much as you do so you can't sit around waiting for the next opportunity to be handed to you.’ And I firmly believe this is true when it comes to your health. No one will ever care about your health or understand your body, better than you. You possess tremendous power to transform your own wellbeing. And sometimes, you just need a little support to get started.
