What a Health Coach does and why you Need One
By: Erica Mestyanek, Marketing Executive Dallas Yoga Magazine & Holistic Health Coach
If you are like me, when you first heard of a Health Coach you might have envisioned a fabulously healthy, fit and outgoing person who walks you through what to eat every day and scolds you when you eat unhealthy food. It turns out, as you can probably imagine, that is not what a health coach does. Truth be told, only about 15% of what I cover with clients is specifically about nutrition.
A Health Coach digs deep. We uncover the root of your so called “bad habits”. What is driving you to eat that Snickers and drink Dr. Pepper every day in your office at 3pm? Why do you wake up in the middle of the night and crave a bag of potato chips? How is it that you manage to go to the grocery store hungry every time and purchase a cart full of junk food? We look at a variety of categories in your life from career, finances, health, home, relationships and more. What are the internal messages that you are telling yourself that are causing you to live a life where you are “just getting by”? We give you the information to help you continue on your life path even long after you’ve completed your program. A Health Coach empowers you to make the best decisions, not only for yourself, but also for your family. What good will it do if you are the only person in your house making positive and healthy changes if you are leaving everyone in your dust?
Research is showing for the first time ever; parents may outlive their children due to the effects of the Standard American Diet. I often hear people say, “I would rather die eating the unhealthy food that I love than living a longer life eating flavorless health food.” I’ll admit, I have said that too back in my fast food junkie days. Once you experience the incredible amount of increased energy that quite frankly you’ve probably never experienced before, you’ll be asking yourself “why in the world did I wait so long to start living?”
Also, from a former “fast food junkie” to another, eating healthy does NOT have to taste bad. I provide my clients with delicious recipes that will make you forget about the junk food you were once eating. I also provide an “eating out cheat sheet”! The great thing about living in Dallas is there are a surplus of healthy restaurants throughout the metroplex so you can still enjoy eating out! Stop waiting for the perfect time to make positive changes. Stop voicing the lame excuses that you know deep down inside are “bologna”….pun intended. Today is your day. Let me help you unlock the potential to your inner strength, confidence and beauty. Whether you are looking to lose weight, increase your energy, improve your self-confidence and relationships or simply just start eating healthier, call me to schedule your free 30-minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit for each other.
