Why you need a health coach

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Nutrition

I provide guidance on diet- elimination of inflammatory foods and inclusion of good quality foods filled with macro (protein, carbohydrates and fats), micro (vitamins, minerals) and phytonutrients (colourful pigments in plant foods)

Movement

Incorporation of daily movement can help reduce the risk of many health conditions including mental health and also can also  improve energy levels

Sleep and relaxation

Restorative activities which promote resilience and relaxation as well as adequate and quality sleep are critical for your journey towards wellness

Social relationships and connections

Social connections and a sense of belonging can transform stress by reducing the sense of suffering in isolation; often this can be one of the biggest obstacles towards reaching one's health goals

Mindfulness and stress management

Chronic stress over time can lead to impaired immunity and inflammation leading to chronic health conditions; it is imperative to find and practice any form or stress reduction like deep breathing, yoga, mindfulness meditation

We all have Health Goals that we would like to move towards. This could be for many reasons. It could be that you have been newly diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune condition or insulin resistance and diabetes and you have been asked to make dietary changes. Or it could be that you have been feeling fatigued lately and have been asked to change your sleeping patterns. It could even be that you know that your sugar cravings are a big reason for the recent weight gain.

In line with your health issues you may have even identified your health goals only to face the following issues-

  • You made a health commitment but could not stick to it after a few weeks (or even days)
  • You know exactly what you need to do but can't find the motivation to start
  • You have a received a treatment plan from your doctor which includes lifestyle changes that you have a hard time putting into practice
  • Or you may be struggling to figure out where to start

"It is usually not the lack of information that is an obstacle for most people, changing behaviour is."
