Nutrition columnist LeeAnn Weintraub writes this week about healthcare coaches.
It’s routine to have regular checkups with your physician, dentist and other specialists, but have you ever worked with a health coach as part of your healthcare team? If you are focused on wellness and reaching health-related goals, health coaching may be right for you.
Health coaches do not diagnose and treat medical conditions nor do they interpret medical results or prescribe medications, diets or supplements. Instead, they use a client-centered approach, motivational techniques and behavioral strategies to help individuals set goals and create a plan to improve their health. Health coaches also provide resources and referrals to healthcare providers to help support the client’s plan and goals.
Studies show that health coaching can be an effective tool in managing health conditions. A recently published study found that health coaching improved health-related quality of life and reduced hospital admissions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Keep in mind that health coaching is a relatively new field and health coaches are not licensed health care providers.
