FAQ
Let’s see if I can help you get some more clarity. Below you will find the answers to the questions I get asked the most.
A Health Coach is a professional guide and mentor who empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health and supports them in making sustainable lifestyle choices. Health Coaches do not prescribe one diet or one way of living. Rather, they help people develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for their bodies.
You could be looking for health coaching for a number of reasons. Refer to Q2: How can your Health coaching help me? to know if these are included in my coaching.
There is no one size fits all, when it concerns us human beings. We all are unique as people, and our circumstances and environments are distinctive. Your coaching program will accordingly be customised to your unique needs and goals. Similarly, the health coaching I offer has unique offerings and takeaways which differ from other health coaching programs.
The formula for living a life well is seemingly simple, but you probably know it’s easier said than done, because, well, life can get in the way. You have a career that keeps you busy, a family and your health to take care of, and you’re stressed.

Your aspirations are identified based on your requirements. Further, goals are defined based on your aspirations.
The program mostly encompasses these common areas, but also more or less, as per need:
- Make sustainable positive behaviour and lifestyle changes
- Setting up systems that
– Support your goals and propel you towards them
– Support your wellbeing in all areas of your life - Empower and inspire you to be your own expert
- Explore and navigate your strengths and challenges

- Tools, knowledge and resources to be able to incorporate these with ease
Changing a habit, a behaviour or lifestyle entails changing systems that have been the fabric of our life for years, and maybe generations. These constitute social, personal, professional and environmental systems.
The program will not include:
- Specific meal plans
- Specific exercise regimes
- Medical diagnosis
Typically, you need three kinds of experts to be able to reach your goal:
1. A Core Expert
Such as a Doctor, Business Mentor, Financial Expert who diagnosis your problem and suggests remedies.
2. A Coach
Such as a Health Coach or Life Coach who helps you design sustainable solutions to be able to implement the suggestions provided by the core expert.
3. Niche Experts
Such as a Nutritionist, Dietician, Fitness Expert, Yoga Teacher who have niche expertise in their areas.
A health coach:
- Is a mentor who holds you accountable.
- Bridges the gap between a primary expert and implementing sustainable and positive behavioural and lifestyle changes.
- Helps you make changes in a systematic methodical way.
- Holds your hand every step of the way.
- Has your back.
With an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, you will be able to define the complete picture, and design systems by setting the right processes and structures in place. These will enable you to execute the recommendations of an expert.
