Health Coaching
Health Coaching for Life
Functional medicine health coaches know there’s more to a healthy lifestyle than fad diets and unsustainable exercise regimens. There is a gap between what clients know they need to do to be healthy and the intrinsic motivation they need to actually make and sustain those changes.
Health coaching bridges that gap. Diets have been proven to be ineffective long term where the yo-yoing effect can actually be more harmful than helpful. Health coaching takes a deeper and more holistic approach which will enable you to achieve lasting lifestyle and behaviour change.
Health coaches work with your likes and dislikes to gradually change habits to healthier ones specific to your goals. I will help you to connect your doctor’s orders with real life.
A Health System
No matter how you get started, health coaches help you stay accountable as you make meaningful changes related to:
- Physical activity
- Nutrition
- Weight management
- Stress management
- Smoking
- Sleep
If one of those areas is out of balance, the others may also be. If you’re not getting enough sleep, you might not have the energy to work out or focus on meal planning. Combined, it might feel like too much to solve. Together, you’ll sort out where to start and find ways to make small changes that grow over time.
