Now is the perfect time to partner with an Integrative Health Coach
We know our immune system is greatly impacted by our lifestyle choices. Setting aside COVID- 19’s interactions with underlying conditions, over 50% of premature deaths related to chronic disease can be avoided with changes in lifestyle (1). You can get a clear diagnosis from a medical professional, you can read the latest research, you can watch webinars with all the best experts in their fields, but if you don’t internalize that knowledge and make a plan of action that fits into your values and current circumstances, that knowledge is incredibly ineffective. Often a helpful structure and partnership are needed to implement important life change. An Integrative Health Coach (IHC) is a professional with expertise in health related behavior change who partners with you to manifest your knowledge and vision in a concrete and sustainable way. Right now the world is holding its breath. The future is uncertain and waiting for normal life to resume can feel isolative and stagnant. One of the silver linings in this moment is increased time for reflection and life perspective. We are all tackling ideas, questions and desires for change that have been on our back burner. Do you feel motivated to have life look different on the other side of this crisis? While there might be real physical constraints to the changes you can make right now, mental bandwidth may have increased for you to gain clarity on how you want to emerge from this season. An Integrative Health Coach (IHC) can partner with you in a powerful process for life change. As an expert in health related behavior modification, an IHC can help to bridge knowledge you have gained from a medical professional and turn it into a transformative reality for your life. An IHC can help you address stress management, sleep, exercise, eating habits, spirituality, relationships, personal and professional development, physical environment, and more. Journeying through the health coaching process is a way to be proactive when it feels like COVID-19 is calling the shots. Come out of lock down with new habits and a personalized plan for your health. Don’t let the opportunity this crisis presents pass you by. Partnering with an IHC is a powerfully effective way to bust down roadblocks to your health and pave the way to a new healthier future.
