What is a Health Coach?
A Health Coach is a healthcare professional who partners with you to transform your health goals into action. Your Health Coach will provide expert guidance, resources, and support while helping you to overcome obstacles that may prevent you from achieving optimal health.
You can work with a Health Coach in the following areas:
- Diabetes management
- Weight management
- Tobacco cessation
- Exercise
- Nutrition
- Stress reduction
- Prevention or management of other health conditions
Additionally, your Health Coach can assist you in understanding your medical diagnosis, treatment plans, and healthcare options so you can make informed decisions about your well-being. Even if you don’t have a current medical condition, your Health Coach can help you adopt healthier behaviors (i.e., exercise and nutrition) to prevent future health concerns.
