What is a Health Coach?

Jeremy Brodovsky

Adapted from the Health Coach Institute--- https://www.healthcoachinstitute.com


A Health Coach is a trained professional who is passionate about healthy living in all areas of life and who wants to help others to make that commitment as well. Generally speaking, Health Coaches help their clients set goals to improve their health and wellness, create a plan to achieve their goals, address any negative habits or patterns that might prevent them from following through with their plan, and cultivate healthy habits that will help them thrive in life (in areas including exercise, diet, psychological (self-image, stress management, etc.)).


Health Coaches work in a collaborative partnership with their clients to help them follow through with their health goals, providing support, guidance, accountability, and encouragement along the way. Health Coaches don’t tell their clients what to do; their skill lies in knowing the right questions to ask to uncover unhealthy habits and thought patterns that are keeping their clients stuck and helping the get “unstuck”.



Additionally, they help people step into a more empowered version of themselves by working with clients across three domains of well-being: physical, cognitive, and emotional. They may offer guidance for their clients in a number of areas, including but not limited to:


-Finding work/life balance or integration

-Stress management

-Improving health

-Increasing confidence

-Career transition


Other areas can also include:


-Setting financial goals

-Buying a home

-Pursuing an education

-Improving relationships

-Launching a business

-Improving communication skills


Specifically I as a Health Coach work with individual clients on weight loss, creating a healthy lifestyle, improving overall physical and mental health, habit change, goal setting, and stress management. Some particular niches that I have include managing individuals suffering with migraine headaches as well as working with student athletes for improving their performance.
