With the holiday season comes lots of holiday gatherings, lots of delicious holiday foods, and many opportunities to fall off track with your health and wellness goals.  With a little thought and preparation in advance, you can set yourself up for a successful Healthy Holiday Season!  Check out my tips below, embrace the one's that reasonate with you, and enjoy a Happy and Healthy Holiday!

Since the profession of Health Coaching may be fairly new to many of you, I thought it might help bring a better understanding by sharing this list with you!  Here are my Top 10 Reasons to Work With a Health Coach:

1.  You know what you need to do (lose weight, eat healthier, be more physically active, etc.) but you just can't do it alone!  A health coach can provide support and accountability that you just don't have when working at your goals alone!

2.  Your favorite jeans don't fit anymore!  A health coach can develop a personalize plan which includes diet and lifestyle modifications that will help you slim down and fit into your skinny jeans again!

3.  You can't stop reaching for the cookies and sweets.  Your health coach can teach you a variety ways to reduce your cravings for sweets and get you eating healthier meals and snacks in no time!

4.  You are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired... and your doctor doesn't have any solutions for you!   A health coach can walk you through the steps of uncovering what might be bringing you down, and help you make adjustments in your diet and lifestyle that may bring about the changes you are looking to achieve!

5.  You need help getting your family on board with eating healthier foods!  A health coach can teach you simple ways to make diet and lifestyle changes that you AND your family can easily embrace! 

6.  You want to start sleeping better... at night!  Yes, your coach can take you through a step-by-step plan that will allow you to sleep better at night and have more energy during the day, like you were designed to do!

7.  Your doctor has ordered you to eat a special diet (ex. gluten free or elimination of other foods) and you don't know where to begin!  A health coach can design a plan that takes you through the steps at a pace that you can easily follow.

8. You can't figure out which diet is best for your individual needs!  Your health coach can conduct a comprehensive diet, lifestyle and health history evaluation and help you uncover the foods that will best suit your needs.  No one diet can work for every person!  The core concept of bioindividuality is applied with each and every client!

9.  You're dog ate the instructions on "how to achieve your health and wellness goals", and you haven't the slightest clue what to do!  Don't worry!  A certified health coach can help you develop a personalized plan of action and walk you through the steps needed to achieve your health and wellness goals!

10.  You want to look and feel your best!  A health coach can help you determine the best combination of dietary changes (if needed), physical activity plans and lifestyle improvements needed to get you on track and feeling your best!  In no time you will be eating healthier foods, choosing better activities that best suit your lifestyle and enjoying a healthier mindset that will help you maintain these changes for the rest of your life!

There are so many more reasons to work with a health coach, too many to list in this post!  But the primary way a health coach can help you is by providing guidance, support and accountability, something you simply cannot have if you are going at it alone!  I invite you to schedule a time with me to review your health goals and concerns.  We can discuss your needs and cover the various ways that we can work together so that you can achieve your health and wellness goals!

The choice is yours:  Choose a path to wellness now, or wait a little longer and possibly find yourself needing to take the road to recovery.  If you are not already on the ban-wagon to health and wellness, I strongly encourage each and every one of you to climb aboard now!  Don’t wait for illness to strike first!  

Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer, Digestive Disorders, Immune Dysfunction, Cognitive Disorders, and many more. 

These debilitating conditions are all increasing in prevalence.  We can no-longer take our health for granted.  Increasing your chances for good health and reducing the risk for developing disease is a choice that each of us needs to make.  Once that choice is made, you can start chipping away at implementing the necessary changes in your diet and lifestyle, one choice at a time.

I invite you to start your journey today!  Maybe your first step in choosing a healthy lifestyle is having one less cup of coffee today, or committing to using the stairs instead of riding the elevator, or maybe it's passing on the cookies and choosing a handful of nuts for your afternoon snack.  Whatever comes to mind for you today, choose it, and make it happen!  That is what "transitioning to a healthy lifestyle" is all about, making lots of little choices, each and every day.  Yes, you can, one day-at-a-time!

So what step are you planning to take today?  Click on "comments" and share which step you are implementing today!
