What Is A Health Coach?

I often get asked the question: “What is a Health Coach?”.

Simply put, a Health Coach is a guide and supportive mentor who empowers clients to take responsibility for their health and achievement of their personal wellness goals.

However, I will elaborate in greater detail exactly what I can offer you to enhance your overall health and wellbeing.

We all want to feel and look our best.

Why? So that we can live our best life (think - better mood, energy, and an overall enhanced way of living).

For each of us, looking and feeling our best can be yielded through different approaches. For example, one person can feel great incorporating more carbohydrates, while another can feel lethargic, bloated and low energy from doing so.

This concept is the core of what I would like to help people understand;

“one persons’ food can be another persons’ poison”, we are all bio-individual.

There is not a specific diet or theory we can all follow that will make us all equally feel and look our best- it truly looks different for each of us. It is up to us to dig deep, closely listening to our bodily cues to really figure out what works for each of us uniquely.

Dietary theories typically neglect a huge part of what nutrition is about- the individual !

Most guidelines describe what you should eat without any reference to important factors- like gender, age, lifestyle, sleep, exercise, gut health or body/blood type.

All individuals have their own specific needs when it comes to health.

There is a mass genetic diversity at the root of a wide variety of health problems, dietary needs and metabolic abilities. Consider this: there is over 70 TRILLION possible chromosome combinations every time an egg meets a sperm. All of these genetic combinations result in a child entirely different than her parents or her siblings. This person has the potential to metabolize their food differently…

Hence, not one diet fits all.

I mean, I know most of you could probably relate to the following cycle during a modern weight loss diet journey- and Dr. Peter J D’Adamo, author of Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type- puts it best:

“initial excitement and enthusiasm, followed by hopeful early results, followed by emerging difficulties, followed by a crushing fear of falling off the diet, followed by succumbing and abandoning the diet, followed by weight gain.This is such a common formula that you can patent the whole formula.”

While working with me, based on your goals I can help provide you with the individual tools that you need to create the change you would like to see and feel.

At Earth Embody, I want to educate you with the knowledge you need in order to create sustainable lifestyle changes without restriction. I want to help you cultivate a structure of diet and lifestyle that works specifically for you- that you can use for the rest of time.

I believe knowledge is power, and the more you know- and the more you get to know your body- the further you’ll progress on your path of health and wellness and say goodbye to the vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting. It’s all about working with your body, not against it. Work smarter, not harder.

When does health happen? In the 99.9% of the time when you’re living life, not when you're in the doctor’s office.

A doctor may tell a patient to eat less, and increase exercise- but not how to execute the plan exactly. However, coaches take the time to get to know their clients fully, helping them find their internal motivation and set them up for success that’s personalized. A coach can help you execute and make everlasting shifts through their time and attention, the two things most doctors cannot offer their patients.
