PERSONAL HEALTH

More Amer­i­cans are over­weight and out of shape than ever before.  Their seden­tary, high-calorie lifestyles are caus­ing an epi­demic of obe­sity, high blood pres­sure, heart dis­ease and degen­er­a­tive arthri­tis among other pre­ventable con­di­tions.

If those aren’t bad enough, obe­sity and a seden­tary lifestyle also raise the risk of breast can­cer, colon can­cer and other com­mon forms of can­cer.

Doc­tors all across the nation are strug­gling to treat these lifestyle-induced con­di­tions with new and advanced med­i­cines.  Med­ical care helps a lit­tle, but if the lifestyle doesn’t change, the ill­nesses get worse.

Well then you ask, “Who will help patients change?”  I rec­om­mend life coaches, also called per­sonal coaches.  These are pro­fes­sion­als ded­i­cated solely to enabling indi­vid­u­als change behav­ior to achieve their goals.  Coaches help clients achieve greater focus, see new pos­si­bil­i­ties, iden­tify meth­ods to change, and adopt new behav­iors.

    I am just about to com­plete a coach­ing course. And of course, I agree with you that coaches do help their clients to take action and to achieve their goals. Many peo­ple are still con­fused by what a coach does. First of all, they are not con­sul­tants — con­sul­tants advise clients what to do. Coaches shine a light for their clients by ask­ing mean­ing­ful ques­tions, so that clients can work out for them­selves what path they choose to take. The coach is there for sup­port and to help the client set their own action plan. It is a very pow­er­ful and reward­ing com­bi­na­tion.

    Helen — Advance con­grat­u­la­tions on com­plet­ing your coach­ing course. Coach­ing is one of the best things that most peo­ple have never heard of.
