Health coaching is all the rage.  As more and more attention is given to preventative care, health coaching is seen as a vital aspect of creating healthy lifestyle changes.  Not only is there a shift to live healthier lives, people are finding that helping others become healthier makes their lives happier too. 

According to a recent article in Medical Economics, the medical community is embracing the Health Coach.  Quite often, doctors don’t have time to give a patient the full attention they need to overcome obstacles to improving their health.  A Health Coach can contribute the time, knowledge and devotion to clients, helping them to achieve optimal health and wellness.  Through health coaching sessions, clients develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for them to lead happier, healthier lives.
