You can Become a Health Coach

Do you enjoy helping others? Do you care about wellness and quality of life? Are you passionate about making a difference instead of just making a living? Then you can become a Health Coach.
You don't need a college degree or medical background. You do need to be coachable, willing to learn about health issues, model a wellness lifestyle and make a solid commitment to helping America get healthy, one person at a time.
In return you can coach part time or full time, it's up to you. The "Lose to Win" team desperately needs more Health Coaches in several areas of the country. When are you ready to begin? Dr. Kathie Erwin, Certified Health Coach

THE resource for Safe Weight Loss and Wellness 

Imagine more than losing weight, imagine how you could feel if you reached Optimal Health. That's the goal of Dr A's Habits of Health to explain the value of nutritional intervention for weight loss, disease management and ideally, disease prevention. Not another diet book, this is a Prescription for life!

Is there a market for Health Coaching? 

73 million people in the US are overweight to obese and that number is growing daily (no pun intended). Most of these people already have problems with high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary artery blockage, sleep problems, joint pains and other medical issues made worse by excess weight. Medical studies have documented that weight loss is a major factor in diabetes management and high blood pressure. I'm living proof - after losing 70 pounds on this program in 5 1/2 months I've been free of blood pressure medication for almost 4 years!
Losing weight is liberating but keeping it off and reaching Optimal Health is the real winner. As a Health Coach, you are trained to guide clients through a safe, medically proven program for weight loss then teach them the simple steps to achieve lifelong wellness.
Your health coaching is instrumental in literally saving lives and improving life quality. And you are well paid.
Is there a market for Health Coaching - - YES! We need you right now.

    Greetings Tatiana, always great to hear from other health coaches. Yes, we are in the "third wave" of healthcare where individuals are guided in how to restore and maintain health proactively. You will enjoy a short video from Dr Wayne Anderson on the Value of a Health Coach from my site, www.drkterwin.tsfl.com

    Hi there from a 'new kid on the squidoo block'. I admire your passion for health coaching and support you very much. I am Tatiana Abend, founder ond owner of BodyVision SL, professional health coaching with training from, who else, Wellcoaches Co. I love my work! Yes, it takes a while to really get better and better, and takes a while to build up a business because there are so many ways that Health Coaches can be of help, but it is a rising profession and very needed and, best of all, CLIENT DRIVEN. You do not have to try to get people interested in what you do, they really look to work with you.

    i am opening up my telephone coaching packages and everybody loves working from the peace and quiet of their own home. My new blog: http://healthmanagementprogram.brighterplanet.org is my new 'playground' to share good content with you.

    Please let me know if I can be of any help at all to you! I would be interested in supporting your team. from www.bodyvisionsl.com

    I would like to talk with you about health coaching which is so needed with 2/3 of Americans overweight and 20% of 4 year olds who are obese. At Take Shape for Life, our mission is to Get America Healthy.

    Hi Anita, I became involved in so many coaching activities that my Web 2.0 world was neglected. I would enjoy talking with you about health coaching. Last week I co-taught a Basic Coaches training, so with your background you are a natural for this niche.
    Contact me at Drkterwin@gmail.com and we can set up a teleconference.
