What does an IIN Health Coach Do?
What is an IIN Health Coach?
You may have heard of the IIN Institute of Nutrition but do you actually know what a health coach does?
An IIN health coach is a wellness professional who helps others feel their best by creating personalised food and lifestyle changes over a period of time to meet their unique needs and goals. IIN Health Coaches often provide their services online or in private coaching practices on a one-to-one basis or in a group setting.
IIN Health Coaches focus on bio-individuality, meaning there is no one set program that fits everyone, no one diet. Each person has unique lifestyle, dietary, emotional and physical needs. IIN Health Coaches work with clients to help them discover how to fuel their bodies and become the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves through a holistic approach.
IIN Health Coaches use the term Primary Food to describe the different areas of your life that are vital for taking care of your overall health. This includes your relationships, spirituality, career, diet and physical activity. IIN Health Coaches are also trained in over 100 dietary theories to provide a wide range of nutritional knowledge to their clients.
IIN Health Coaches are revolutionizing the healthcare system through the power of nutrition, primary food, active listening, high-mileage questions, goal setting, and other techniques unique to health coaching. While the average visit to the doctor only lasts eight minutes, the average health coaching session is 50 minutes twice a month – an in-depth conversation between Health Coaches and their clients. It’s evident that Health Coaches are filling a vital gap between patients and doctors.
With more doctors and medical practitioners recognizing the value of nutrition, movement, and other lifestyle factors in overall health, more and more have begun to employ Health Coaches as part of their long-term patient care strategy. Integrating Health Coaches into traditional medical care as accessible contacts for patients implementing a healthier lifestyle has created a firm foundation for a better vision of healthcare.
Health coaching is more than just a niche in healthcare; it’s a powerful movement for change that is creating a better world.
