SHOULD YOU BECOME A HEALTH COACH? | yes and no

Before you become a health coach, there are a few things to consider to determine if it’s right for you. I’ve been a certified health coach for over 5 years, so let me share some insights and tips.

The career field of health coaching is growing. And while some health coaches decide to coach clients individually, others like myself, use their health coaching certification as a jumping off point for creating cookbooks, food products, wellness-centered brands, and online businesses.

In today's video I'm sharing a few reasons why it makes sense to pursue health coaching. I also have more information in the blog posts linked below. I hope you find this information helpful!

I am a nurse. However, I have realized it is not exactly what I want to do. I was always interested in health. I feel that nursing focuses on illness rather than on health. Not exactly what I am wanting to do. I love learning about and teaching healthy eating. I love preventative care. I would like to be a health coach. Just need a good mentor like you.

I’ve been a health, wellness, nutrition, and intermittent fasting coach for 11 years. You are so right, we get in the field with an intention of wanting to be healthier. That’s why I started 12 years ago. I am now an Ambassador and run coach for a national running club. I teach women to be a strong athlete it starts with nutrition first. We can be a gym rat but if we aren’t adopting a healthy diet it’s a waste. When it comes to di-sease and illness reduce your stress level and fill your diet with fruits and vegetables. Sleep is also very important in being healthier, take advantage of those 30 minute naps they work wonders not to mention they’re very refreshing. I also recommend meditation to silence the mind and bring the body into balance.

I started IIN in March and I absolutely love it. I never even knew this profession existed and I’m so happy I found my way. Yay for IIN!!

I’ve worked for over 10 years in Pharmaceutcals sales. I always had an interest in health and wellness. I started my masters in nutrition a few years ago, but I had to stop due to brain aneurism that was an incidental finding...had many challenges which included 3 surgeries. Now after recovering I want to revisit my goal. Now I’m looking into becoming a health coach. We’ll see where I land but I do now I want help people.

I can’t say it’s a recent feeling but more of a recent realization that the work I am doing as a nurse just feels like a bandaid. It is time for a change not just for myself but for our patients!

You are amazing, Lisa. You are kind, articulate, helpful, dedicated, inspiring and knowledgeable. Thank you for all these amazing educational videos!

[ashleyrmeans]

Wow. The timing of this is unbelievable! I just had a conversation with IIN admissions last week!

[TheEdnac]

I just graduated from IIN! So nice to see another successful women entrepreneur. I am trying to narrow down where I want to apply this knowledge and I know it has to do with healthy eating and lifestyle too. I read your blog on this subject and appreciate the tips and the hands on experience that you shared, which is very helpful. Also I love your youtube channel and blog

Thank you so much for sharing.
I graduated in Psychology and have worked as HR executive but this is not what I really like. That's why I started to look for a job that I can use my Psychological knowledge and I'm interested in life and health coach. I'll planing and register in many courses for years from now. I always would like to use my skills and knowledge to help other people to have a better life, it's my passion and desire since I was young. But yep, I need to earn too.

Thank you so much again 🙏

Can’t wait to start my course with IIN in July! Love what you do Lisa, your passion for health and wellness is contagious. ☺️

[MyPammer]

Perfect timing! Since I was laid low, similar to your experience, and being burned out by my corporate job, I wondered what I could do to help other people not end up where I did with their health. Thank you so much.

I've been asking this question for months now so I'm ready to hear the answer lol. Really though, perfect timing :) looking forward to it!

I started my own weight loss journey and hope to inspire others. Great work!

[FrugalOverFifty]

This is so interesting - thank you for sharing this and opening my eyes to a whole new world (cue Disney song!). This sounds like a wonderful way to become healthier and share knowledge about healthier living with others. Thank you for bring your wisdom and all of your recipes to us. (I made your recent salsa recipe from the taco salad video and became obsessed. Might or might not have eaten it multiple times a day until it was gone. Must make more!)

[HomewithCheryl]

Great information!! I have for several years thought of becoming one even if only to get myself into better health! I enjoy helping others so definitely something to think about!

[jamieeec]

Ill be starting the health coaching program at IIN in September. This is inspiring 💜

[devyou]

I became a Health Coach in IIN because of you I found your testimonies and loved them, now I am so happy to live a healthier life and I feel WAY better than before. Thank you LIsa!!! Love all your feed and recipes, you are such a nice person!

[rebeccasrambles]

Hello Lisa, I'm glad I just found you on YouTube and went to your lovely and quite info-packed site. In this video, I thought you said you had interviews of health coaches, but I can't find them.

[polleendtime]

Thank you Lisa. As long as there are health coaches the human race will survive.

[arzuhood]

You are kind and very polite. Thank you for all the information.
