Your Health Needs a Team, Not a To-Do List
Last night, during a Zoom call with a group of fellow coaches, I couldn’t help but notice a common misconception. Many people still think they have to choose between working with a health coach and their physician, as if it’s one or the other.
But that’s not how it works at all.
To me, that would be like sending a football coach onto the field without the rest of the coaching staff. No quarterback coach, no strength coach, no nutrition coach, no support behind the scenes. Every successful team has specialists who bring different strengths to the table, all working toward the same goal. Your health deserves that same kind of teamwork.
Doctors Diagnose. Coaches Help You Apply.
Ever left a doctor’s appointment with a head full of great advice, only to realize later that you barely remember half of it once you get home? You’re not alone.
We’ve all been there, walking out with the best intentions and a list of recommendations that somehow feel overwhelming or hard to fit into daily life.
That’s where a health coach comes in. Think of us as your practice coach, the one who helps you take the strategy from the playbook and put it into action. We help you take your physician’s recommendations and turn them into small, sustainable steps that fit your real life, not an ideal version of it.
Playing on the Same Team
A health coach doesn’t replace your doctor. We work alongside them, helping you implement the game plan that supports your unique needs and goals.
If your doctor gives you a plan, we help you put it into motion, step by step and week by week. We help you stay accountable, find strategies that work for your lifestyle, and celebrate your progress along the way.
When your doctor and your coach work together, it feels less like trying to do everything on your own and more like having a full team cheering you on from the sidelines.
You Deserve a Team, Not a To-Do List
Good health isn’t just about knowing what to do. It’s about having the right people in your corner who help you follow through. When you have both a physician and a health coach on your team, you get the best of both worlds: medical expertise and practical support that fits into everyday life.
If you’ve ever wished for a teammate on your health journey, that’s exactly what a board-certified health and wellness coach can be.
We’re trained to help you bridge the gap between knowing and doing so you can build confidence, stay consistent, and create lasting change.
