Health coaching is the Number 1 growing field in the Health & Wellness industry. Why? Because more and more people want help and
advice beyond the drug-focused advice from their doctors.
Most people want to be more in control of their health
without having to be dependent on drugs and medications that only mask the problem and never get rid of the disease.
In the meantime, diseases and illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic fatigue, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, and obesity are increasing toward record levels.
Unfortunately, most of us don't have the resources, information, or professional
guidance to be successful in improving our health or successfully fighting diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, just to name a few. So, in most cases, we buy various alternative health books or seek help from naturopathic doctors, registered dietitians, nutritionists, herbalists, and other healthcare professionals.
But, most of us have been disappointed by the advice offered from most of these healthcare professionals because, as it turns out, they know very little about the science of disease. They understand the importance of diet and exercise, but, they really don't know how to design a nutritional program or an exercise program that specifically targets a disease such as Type 2 diabetes.
Recently, the field of health coaching (or wellness coaching) has begun to grow significantly because of the demand from so many people looking for help with the health and life planning. This has led to many schools offering certification training to individuals who wanted to become health coaches.
But, as it turns out, most of these health coaches were not trained properly and, therefore, are ill-equipped to help most Type 2 diabetics. Most health coaches have had some success in other areas such as weight loss, but, not in areas that required a better understanding of medical science and nutritional science -- areas such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
Consequently, because of the success of the top-selling book ("Death to Diabetes"), the author and his company are now offering diabetes professional training and certification training to various healthcare professionals and organizations.
