"Your patient should get a health coach."

"The reason behind the lack of success with lifestyle interventions is simple--behavior change is hard. There is however a tool that makes behavior change easier--health coaching."

"Health coaching works. A 2014 systematic literature review concluded that among adults with chronic diseases, health coaching leads to statistically significant improvements in weight management, physical activity, physical and mental health status."

"The right coach will guide clients to make well defined, measurable goals, and will keep clients on track by holding them accountable for making forward progress. Health coaching that achieves lasting results uses a personalized approach that fits each individual’s unique life circumstances."

"A well-trained health coach is educated regarding behavior change, and uses a science based process to facilitate that change."

"Health coaching is structured to provide the necessary time to be successful at behavior change."

"So please start recommending a health coach to your patients today."
