What is a Health Counselor or Coach? -Lisa Spencer – Inside by Design

What the Heck, is a Health Coach anyway?

I know, I know, “Holistic Health Counselor”, “Health Coach” “Certified Health Counselor” “Weight Loss Coach”, yada yada..all slightly awkward titles..they sound sort rah rah, in my mind; like the person thinks they have it all together, and they might just tell you all about it. But that is not what Health Counseling is about, or how it really works. So with that said, let me ask you this:

When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and lifestyle and received the information and support you needed?

Have you ever received good advice that you were unable to follow? Has your doctor ever recommended a lifestyle change that you found to be unsustainable in the real world? Have you ever wanted something in your life, but found you couldn’t achieve it alone?

Certified Health Coaches and Certified Weight Loss Coaches are knowledgeable, well trained advisors who provide continuing support and guidance as you set goals and make sustainable changes that improve your health and well being. A qualified Health Coach, will listen to you carefully and help you to navigate the world of contradictory nutrition and weight loss advice to help you determine what changes are necessary for you.

Think about it: In this day and age of : “press 1 to pay your cell phone bill, press 2 to argue with a computer about your bill, press 3 to wait for 16 minutes and then have a computer hang up on you, it is of great advantage to have a dedicated professional, take the time to help you discover the tools you need to radically improve your health and well being.

Here’s how I see it; If you are 40-50 you are just a baby beginning the next half of your life…you’ve worked hard, isn’t it time to start taking the best kind of care of yourself . Isn’t time to live like you really mean it? Why not figure out how to step by step, live this time in your life, as well as possible? Really, why not?

So, yes- we’re pretty much stuck with the title. But you can know this. Health and Weight Loss Coaching is cutting edge stuff, and it really does work….and by working with the right coach for you, you will be on a very real path of transformation.
