SHOULD YOU BECOME A HEALTH COACH? | yes and no

- Before you become a health coach, there are a few things to consider to determine if it’s right for you. I’ve been a certified health coach for over 5 years, so let me share some insights and tips.
The career field of health coaching is growing. And while some health coaches decide to coach clients individually, others like myself, use their health coaching certification as a jumping off point for creating cookbooks, food products, wellness-centered brands, and online businesses.
In today's video I'm sharing a few reasons why it makes sense to pursue health coaching. I also have more information in the blog posts linked below. I hope you find this information helpful!

I am a nurse. However, I have realized it is not exactly what I want to do. I was always interested in health. I feel that nursing focuses on illness rather than on health. Not exactly what I am wanting to do. I love learning about and teaching healthy eating. I love preventative care. I would like to be a health coach. Just need a good mentor like you.
With your background and desire to help others, it sounds like you'd make a great health coach. I'm always a proponent of following your passions. :)
You may want to look into Functional Medicine since you have a medical background. I am a certified Functional Health Coach and also attended IIN. Health Coaching is a very impactful practice that helps so many people that need to simplify and unwind from the daily grind.
@@kathielr If you don't mind, where did you study to become a health coach?
Who wants to do nursing? overwork and underpay career. I'm also looking to get out anyway I can. A Health couch seems like a good idea.
I'm a RN with health coaching experience. I would just like to become certified.
Perfect timing! Since I was laid low, similar to your experience, and being burned out by my corporate job, I wondered what I could do to help other people not end up where I did with their health. Thank you so much.
Great information!! I have for several years thought of becoming one even if only to get myself into better health! I enjoy helping others so definitely something to think about!
I started IIN in March and I absolutely love it. I never even knew this profession existed and I’m so happy I found my way. Yay for IIN!!
Hi I just called the school and had them send me information. Im super excited with the information Ive recieved so far. How did it go for you?
Can’t wait to start my course with IIN in July! Love what you do Lisa, your passion for health and wellness is contagious. ☺️
Hope you enjoy the program Michelle! And thank you!
You are amazing, Lisa. You are kind, articulate, helpful, dedicated, inspiring and knowledgeable. Thank you for all these amazing educational videos!
You are so welcome!
I've been asking this question for months now so I'm ready to hear the answer lol. Really though, perfect timing :) looking forward to it!
Oh perfect! And I'll be answer questions live when the video plays tomorrow. Hope you find it helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing.
I graduated in Psychology and have worked as HR executive but this is not what I really like. That's why I started to look for a job that I can use my Psychological knowledge and I'm interested in life and health coach. I'll planing and register in many courses for years from now. I always would like to use my skills and knowledge to help other people to have a better life, it's my passion and desire since I was young. But yep, I need to earn too.
Thank you so much again 🙏
I’ve worked for over 10 years in Pharmaceutcals sales. I always had an interest in health and wellness. I started my masters in nutrition a few years ago, but I had to stop due to brain aneurism that was an incidental finding...had many challenges which included 3 surgeries. Now after recovering I want to revisit my goal. Now I’m looking into becoming a health coach. We’ll see where I land but I do now I want help people.
Bless you.
This is so interesting - thank you for sharing this and opening my eyes to a whole new world (cue Disney song!). This sounds like a wonderful way to become healthier and share knowledge about healthier living with others. Thank you for bring your wisdom and all of your recipes to us. (I made your recent salsa recipe from the taco salad video and became obsessed. Might or might not have eaten it multiple times a day until it was gone. Must make more!)
I became a Health Coach in IIN because of you LIsa!!!!! I found your testimonies and loved them, now I am so happy to live a healthier life and I feel WAY better than before. Thank you LIsa!!! Love all your feed and recipes, you are such a nice person!
Amazing! So glad you're on you way to a healthier lifestyle 😊
You’re such an inspiration! This is really helpful insight - thanks so much. Also, Netflix or UA-cam needs to give you your own show! Your channel for health/wellness/lifestyle is like what Marie Kondo is for cleaning ❤️
Thanks so much Cassandra! 😊
I just graduated from IIN! So nice to see another successful women entrepreneur. I am trying to narrow down where I want to apply this knowledge and I know it has to do with healthy eating and lifestyle too. I read your blog on this subject and appreciate the tips and the hands on experience that you shared, which is very helpful. Also I love your youtube channel and blog
Thanks so much! And congrats on your certification. There are many ways you can apply your knowledge, it's really up to where your passion lies. I wish you the best!
I started my own weight loss journey and hope to inspire others. Great work!
Been your follower day 1 i bumped into your page. You’re truly an inspiration, I have growing seed of interest becoming one ❤️.
Thanks for being a part of this community! 😊
You are kind and very polite. Thank you for all the information.
So happy, that you think to do this video, I’m graduated! Finish my 3 years cours, and start know my business. I’m so happy ! Waiting for this video ❤️
I'm so glad! Can't wait to share.
Wow! I love your content, so honest and true... This is super amazing! Thank you so much
Hi, I love your posts. I do wish you would make more "modular mealpreps". I find planning everything out not possible at all, nor eating the same thing for a week. So I love your combination of mealprep with fresh. I regret there are only 4 of them.
I just came across your channel and I am LOVING your content. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome! Glad you're enjoying everything Sarah 😊
While I’m not interested in becoming a health coach, my sister is, so I will have her check out your video. Thanks, Lisa.
Thanks! Hope she gains some new insight on becoming one 😊
Such an informative video. Never though of this as a career path for some. It definitely not my line, but nevertheless so inspired by your story and sharing. I am sure others are inspired by you and your journey. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us Lisa, you make it seem so effortless and comprehensive. 👍🏻🙌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it, Daryl! I never thought of it as a career path as well, but life always keeps things interesting. ;)
Thank you for this video! I was just considering this topic this week! Wow! Perfect timing!
Oh great! I hope the video was helpful for you, Marsha. :)
You are true though educational lessons are important but practical knowledge is much more important to give suggestions.....feel thankful to hearing your advice.
Glad you could learn a few new things here!
Wow. The timing of this is unbelievable! I just had a conversation with IIN admissions last week!
Oh great timing! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I started in May with IIN🤗 If you have any questions, let me know 🌹
@@Downshiftology I just want to say, you are amazing 💖
OMG serendipity. I have been considering IIN for years now, but never had the time to really focus on the classes, or to figure out the money angel. If you vouch for them, I will look into them again. I've been interested in nutrition and herbs since I was a teenager, and would like to coach people and also create my own line of vitamins and supplements. Thanks so much for doing this video!!
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you for inspiring me, you help me create much better content on my youtube channel! 😍 You are the best!
Wow, thank you! 😊
I’m very thankful for you Lisa🥰
Aw, thank you! Hope you enjoy the video!
As a Certified Fitness Trainer and Specialist in Fitness Nutrition, I have been wondering how to tie both of these certifications together, and I think this could be it. Thank you for sharing.
This recipe was divine, thank you very much!!❤️😋
Happy of what you become and congratulations Lisa😘
Thanks so much 😊
I’ve been a health, wellness, nutrition, and intermittent fasting coach for 11 years. You are so right, we get in the field with an intention of wanting to be healthier. That’s why I started 12 years ago. I am now an Ambassador and run coach for a national running club. I teach women to be a strong athlete it starts with nutrition first. We can be a gym rat but if we aren’t adopting a healthy diet it’s a waste. When it comes to di-sease and illness reduce your stress level and fill your diet with fruits and vegetables. Sleep is also very important in being healthier, take advantage of those 30 minute naps they work wonders not to mention they’re very refreshing. I also recommend meditation to silence the mind and bring the body into balance.
Awww Lisa! Thanks that was exactly what i need! 🤩
I hope this video gives you some new insights into health coaching!
It's unfortunate that i didn't see any of your videos in my feed since a long time!! I just remembered your channel and i thought i wasn't subscribed, but I'm surprised to see that even the ball is activated, even so none of your videos was suggested to me.
Oh that's a bummer! Maybe send a help email to UA-cam to see if it's something they can fix.
Hello Lisa, I'm glad I just found you on UA-cam and went to your lovely and quite info-packed site. In this video, I thought you said you had interviews of health coaches, but I can't find them.
Thank you for this! ✨
I aspire to be health coach when I get my degree. Thanks for the video. 😊❤️
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed the video Ella!
Show us your shooting set up and share details about camera , other gadgets that you use ✌🏻 because it looks amazingly good
Great job girl go fowored good luck for you🥰
Thank you Lisa!!
Of course! Hope you enjoy this video :)
This video just came in time for me. I have learned souch already... Would love to do it as a business
I'm glad I could provide some insight! If you do begin the journey to becoming a health coach, I wish you all the best 😊
I live your videos....so helpful also got pdf of meal preps and loved it......just one request if you can add items like a grocery list which are required for each meal prep in each pdf
I watch your video..and You inspired me

@@chrisramirez9872

@@Downshiftology
Thank you 😊
@@aimercab8630 my last question. How much will the total schooling charge
This looks amazing!! Yum!!!
I would like to become A life/healthcoach one day....🙏 love your video’s 👌
Thank you Lisa. As long as there are health coaches the human race will survive.
I think the more we can all help each other the better. :)
Love it
Love it all
It looks amazing
Love this recipe 😋😍
Amazing lisa........
I will take tomorrow tq
Excellent info
I checked the notes but can't see where you bought that mug! Lol. Love it
Unfortunately that mug isn't available anymore. Sorry!
Ahh well thanks for letting me know :)
Healthy food for beautiful souls 💚
Looking forward this! I love your style and although I don't always get the ingredients u use in India, I make do with what I have and find alternatives.
And yes I want to know who shd become a health coach? Is it better do do a dietitians course or will health coach suffice in starting your own business?
Thanks so much! And that's great that you're able to modify with what you have. In terms of starting your business, it really depends on what you want to do. Dieticians receive much more education on nutrition and their focus is primarily food. Health coaches are more focused on behaviours and general wellness, which spans broader lifestyle areas.
Kind of off topic, but I've been reading a little about low caloric density foods... apparently 400 calories of greens should keep us fuller for longer compared to 400 calories of steak...🤔 Maybe you could do a vlog and explain it all with some examples to help us make healthier choices!?
Wow 👏😮
Super work
Great content...
Lovely video
With regard to the IIN program you became certified in, I was curious as to the business side of it. I have read that there is outdated information with regard to building a business on social media, etc. Did you need additional business coaching outside of your health coach training? I was planning to sign with IIN tomorrow but it is 6K vs ACE which is a few hundred and you learn on your own with them. Thank you !
Amazing
Thanks
It's look amazing
HELLO LISA, I'M SOOOOOOOOO
EXCITED... WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE AND HONOR THIS WILL BE... THE BEST PART OF YOU...
SPOKEN FROM THE HEART OF THE QUEEN OF CRISP CLEAN AND
FRESH....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I want to become a Health Coach! But im just curious about what is the difference between a Certified Health Coach to a having a Diploma related to Health and Wellness?
I can't decide what way im going to do first and what is relevant. Any advice?
Is the work you explained in the video that you do is very time consuming? When you started off how much time you were spending building your business on daily basis?
Hello, I wanted to know after completing you IIN Certification, did you have your website in place already? What I'm trying to say were you completely ready with website, FB, blog, youtube, recipes, ect..., or did you work on all those things during or after going live per say? How ready were you? I feel like i am never ready because I need this and that...
❤
Follow you from Syria
Love the recipe
Amazing lisssss
I liked IIN but for the cost its pricy for just a certificate and now it's it's almost 7,000. One nice thing is that allow affordable payments unlike most that do not.
That is pricey for just a certificate.
But then again the prices for mostly everything has gone up.
How long is the program?
i come across your video it has really motivated am considering of becoming a health coach hope u can help
Everyone should be healthy
Hi Lisa🌸Thank you for the video. If I may ask, what was the cost of the course? Were there any exams?
Very good
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Super 💗💗💗
Upload a video channel to teach how I opened your own website for eating because I love cooking and do not know how to do for myself a special page in my way؟❤❤❤⚘🌹
Nice 💗💗💗
Very nice 👌
You look beautiful that colour... is it olive? Plus you speak well, and the content of the video is great. Thank you.
Yes, it's sort of an olive/army green. My favorite shade of green! Thanks so much.
Wondering how health coaching could be incorporated w nursing
Im currently in nursing school and am interested in having this under my belt
I think health coaching compliments nursing beautifully. I know many nurses who have gone through the program and found it beneficial.
You really can't unless you want to work for an organization. That will put you in the same position as a nurse. overwork and underpay
Very nice
Becoming health coach is good
nice video.
nice video..
I clicked on your video and I was like "oh this is the lady who taught me how to poach an egg last year!" hahaha
Haha! Welcome back to my channel 😉
I am not socially active. So is it good to become a health coach. How to get the first lead or client when we are not socially active or to continue as a health coach.
