In this video, I explain what a health coach does when they can’t give advice, clarifying the difference between health knowledge and being a medical expert, and why our role is guiding the change process. I show how foundational understanding from credible sources like CDC, NIH, and Lifestyle Medicine helps us recognize red flags, stay evidence-based, and refer appropriately while navigating conversations on nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress. I walk through eight client-centered coaching skills—self-exploration, current-state assessment, visioning, intrinsic motivation, goal setting, action planning, accountability, and setback support—to drive sustainable behavior change. I also share how to ethically share information with permission, center the client’s wisdom, and align coaching with National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching standards so clients move from knowing to doing. 📱 Follow Me On Social Media: IG: https://www.instagram.com/michellehealthcoach/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MichelleMacLeanHealthCoaching
