What Does a Health Coach Do?
An Integrative Nutrition Health Coach gives their clients a bio individualized plan tailored for their unique body type, preferences and lifestyle, that will allow them to achieve their health related goals, such as to lose weight, mitigate symptoms of a chronic ailment, improve their health, or simply to feel better. While many of the changes will center on food, other important topics addressed include mindset/self-talk, habit formation, exercise, stress, and similar lifestyle factors that contribute (or detract) from health.
Health Coaches can have a private practice or work in a doctor’s office or other medical center.
Beyond one-on-one coaching, health coaches can hold online or in person group classes, sell online programs and meal plans, host retreats or workshops, speak, write a book or cookbook, host corporate wellness programs, start a food product line, open a wellness center or start a skincare line like I did. More and more spas, wellness centers, and food companies are hiring health coaches.
