Now that I’ve graduated mbg’s program, passed the board exam, and gotten my certification, I feel even more confident in my decision to build a career in health coaching.
From my perspective, we need health coaches now more than ever. There is finally a paradigm shift happening where doctors are recognizing that lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress are all impacting their patients’ health in big ways. People need support in these areas that physicians don’t have the time, and quite often, the training, to give.
That’s because just telling someone what to do isn’t enough. It’s about providing support, motivation, and empowerment to help them stay accountable to their health goals. It’s about being in a client’s corner, rooting for them, and giving them the tools they need to be successful. That’s our unique role as health coaches—and it’s one I’m honored to provide.
