Health Coach: why do we increasingly come across this term? Let's find out together.

We spend most of our time immersed in commitments. family, work, friends and home with all the problems and satisfactions that come with it.

Our heads are practically always occupied with all kinds of thoughts, stress is running high, and our body's energy is being squeezed to the last drop almost every day.

What and how do we eat on our lunch break? After work will I have the strength to do some physical activity? What about dinner then? What about after dinner? How can I balance work, home, family, friends and physical and mental well-being?

We can get so "Caught in the whirlpool" that we often underestimate small initial warnings that the body or mind sends us (e.g: insomnia, nervousness, lack of lucidity ) and that instead, should be taken very much into consideration.

Situations of all kinds can lead to not having an optimal state of health to deal with future commitments, so working on our health is important let's not let small problems become big and big ones become irremediable.

If for various reasons we think we cannot do it alone, a health coach might be the right choice.

Sometimes I think that in some cases, being accountable to someone instead of ourselves can make us find the right motivation to do something, other times it is necessary when we don't actually know what to do and need someone to advise and guide us toward solving our problems and further improving our lives.

What is a health coach?

A health coach is a professional who uses a holistic approach to guide and support you on your path to wellness, viewing your health as a multidimensional concept involving physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects, so he or she focuses on the individual as a whole, and not just on specific symptoms or diseases.

How does the health coaching process work?

The health coaching process begins with defining the person's health goals and assessing his or her current health status.

The health coach works with the person to identify factors that may influence health and well-being, including diet, exercise, stress, sleeping habits and other important variables.

After identifying health goals, the health coach works with the person to develop a personalized action plan to achieve them, taking into account the person's needs and preferences.

The action plan may include recommendations for a healthy, balanced diet, a personalized exercise program, stress and sleep management techniques, and other strategies to improve health and well-being.

During the coaching process, the health coach provides emotional and motivational support, helping the person overcome difficulties and challenges that may hinder his or her path to improvement.

The coach works collaboratively with the person, offering constructive, personalized feedback and providing the resources and information needed to help the person achieve his or her health goals.

In addition, the health coach can use coaching techniques to help the person identify and change limiting or unhealthy habits that may prevent him or her from achieving their healthy goals.
