Nowadays, people have a coach for every area of their lives. Financial planner, career mentor, personal trainer, life coach, etc. But what about your health? Sure, you visit your primary care provider for the occasional check-up or cold, but what about someone who sees your whole health and wellness picture? Someone who knows your chronic conditions, what prescriptions you take, and your recent surgeries? Someone who can help you get on the road to good health and check in on your progress?
Are you looking for this type of support? A heath coach may be the answer for you.
What Is a Health Coach?
A health coach is a registered nurse who can see your full health picture and can provide advice and guidance when you have health questions and concerns.
