    Getting found as a health coach - with Health Hunter | Ep. 23

    In this episode of The Health Coach Show, Sharon Curtain talks to Brianna Vidal and Sarah Mullens about the creation of a preventive health ecosystem for health coaches, health professionals and those who are looking to manage their health. Health Hunter is a digital platform that connects people with preventative health practitioners, providers and services. Sarah and Brianna, the co-founders, believe that a healthier, happier life starts with prevention. The reason for Health Hunter was quite simple, 1 out of 2 Australians are living with a chronic health conditions and it is estimated that 33% of these chronic conditions could be prevented if they were addressed earlier. The problem is, people don't always know about the services and health professionals that may be able to help them with prevention and early intervention.  Health Hunter provides access to practitioners that are hard to find. Search by your particular health concern for specialists in your location, all with a focus on preventative, women’s and chronic health issues. These are doctors or allied health practitioners have particular health interests and specialist areas of practice (i.e Gut issues or Women’s Health). Here is an example of the women's health ‘condition’ page https://www.healthhunter.au/conditions/womens-health   Health Hunter recognises the essential role health coaches play in helping individuals implement lifestyle changes and are currently onboarding health coaches in the practitioners section, searchable by their speciality or expertise. This is the perfect place to register your health coach business, promote your expertise, network with other health professionals and stay up to date with the latest tech.

    Health Coaching in Practice with Dietitian Ellie Thompson | Ep 22

    In this episode, Shivaun Conn talks to Ellie Thompson, an accredited practising dietitian and an accredited health and wellness coach, about health coaching and how it has changed her practice. Ellie works in the corporate space as a health coach, as well as in private practice for Verde Nutrition Co. where she utilises both her dietetics and health coaching skills to empower clients to create long-lasting change to improve their health and nutrition.  Ellie's practice changed completely after becoming a health coach. At university, she was taught to follow the steps, educate clients, and follow her own agenda. Often she felt like she was trying to force people to change, not meeting people where they were at, and often wasting her own time as well as her clients. After adopting a coaching approach, she felt like she was walking alongside her clients, they felt heard and were able to achieve a successful end point faster. Studying health coaching has been life-changing for Ellie and has transformed all her consults. Although Ellie wishes she learnt health coaching within her university degree, she is so grateful she completed her health coaching training so early in her career. Integrating coaching into her practice has been rewarding for both her clients and herself. Health coaching has made her practice easier, more relaxing, and has made work so much more enjoyable. In this podcast, she discusses how she utilises health coaching, how its shaped her career and her life, changed the way she communicates, and in Ellie's words 'I don't think there is anyone that wouldn't benefit from health coaching. I couldn't recommend this training any more highly.' When searching for a nutrition expert look for an Accredited Practicing Dietitian.

    Health data as a motivator for change | Ep 21

    In this episode of the Health Coach Show, Sharon Curtain, dietitian and accredited health coach is joined by Liv Brown, health coach and longevity and optimisation program lead at Melbourne Functional Medicine. Liv is going to be sharing her insights into the role that health data plays for clients, and how health coaches can use this data within their scope of practice. In this episode, we discuss: What is health data? What is objective vs subjective data? How data motivates some people, and plays a role for monitoring progress How data may create anxiety in some people and the role of the coach may also be creating space to support the client to manage the emotional impact of results or data that are unexpected. How health coaches can use data to generate awareness through use of tracking, food/mood diaries, and therefore generate insights into patterns, triggers etc) With so much data at our fingertips, and as we work with other health professionals who are doing diagnostic testing it is essential that health coaches understand what is inside scope and what is outside their scope.  A coach should not interpret results -  we help with the implementation  A coach should not provide advice regarding the results A coach should not make any commentary about values or information on results Data can enhance Personal Health Literacy- our ability to listening to our body (symptoms) and then decide what changes we can make in response to this insight.  Read more about data, lab testing and the role of a coach in this fantastic article "How lab testing can enhance the client coaching experience" written by Liv and fellow coach, Bee Learn more about MFM programs: https://mfm.au/optimise-bridge

    Helping clients with nutrition goals | Ep 17

    In this episode of The Health Coach Show, we take a deep dive into how to navigate nutrition and what Health Coaches can do to support clients in the area of Nutrition. We discuss our scope of practice as health coaches and answer the question "Do I need to be a nutrition expert be be effective as a Health Coach?" Clients need health coaches to support them with implementation, not information! We can direct them to credible sources of information and help them gain clarity. As Coaches, we approach our clients with curiosity and can support them to gain awareness about current choices, habits and what needs might be driving behaviours We consider: What do our clients really need? Is there an information gap? Is there a skills gap? We can always refer to Dietitians and Accredited Nutritionists for personalised meal plans and advice on chronic disease management.
