Our Standard American Diet (SAD) and Lifestyle have created an epidemic of far too many people suffering from chronic illnesses. Did you know that 75-80% of our total healthcare expenditure is spend on mostly preventable chronic disease care? Sadly only 2% is currently spent on Prevention.
1 out of every 3 children born after 2000 will develop type 2 diabetes within their lifetime? For the first time in history children will likely have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. Type 2 Diabetes in children didn’t even exist 30 plus years ago. In the US 1 in 3 Adults are pre-diabetic, overweight and or obese. Unhealthy diets, lack of physical activity, and limited attention taken for self care and mental health are areas of concern for much of the US population. It is imperative we fight this epidemic with education and smarter lifestyle choices.
Our simple consistent habits over time create the largest impact on health for both individuals and communities. Health Coaches help as HealthCare Prevention Professionals and Accountability partners.
Health Coaches partner with clients to create individualized solutions that support genuine, lasting lifestyle changes.
A health coach works with clients on behavior change, increasing physical activity, and assisting clients in developing healthier lifestyle and eating practices. The health coach prioritizes the development of sustained healthy lifestyle habits.
Science tells us Restrictive Diets don’t work. Small changes over time that are connected to what you, the client, value the most and desire to change will keep you motivated and focused.
Recent clinical research provides a strong evidential basis for the preferential use of lifestyle interventions as first-line therapy. This research is moving lifestyle from prevention only to include treatment–from an intervention used to prevent disease to an intervention used to treat disease.
