Health Coach
Protimefit
Protime-Fitness is a health and wellness organization that provides health coaching and fitness training.
Our mission is to inspire, empower and guide clients to optimal health, utilizing science-based approaches that are exciting and fun.
We were energized to help clients improve their lives due to the scourge of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other issues created by poor lifestyle choices.
We set out to inform the public of the consequences of poor diet, lack of exercise, and unhealthy stress levels.
It isn't comforting to know that this generation may not live as long or as healthy as our grandparents.
With nearly half of adults in the U.S. overweight or obese, something needs to be done. We can do better.
We encourage you to see your doctor and dentist yearly for baseline health information. We advocate healthy eating styles, such as the Mediterranean diet, and at least 30 minutes of moderate to intense exercise daily.
Health coaching may be helpful if you need additional support to make lifestyle changes to improve your health.
You may ask yourself, what can a health coach do for me? The coach engages with the client to help increase the client's internal motivation for change.
Coaching sessions are client-centered. The coach does not tell the client what to do or how to make a change but instead helps the client to identify opportunities and solutions. The coach provides information and advice sparingly and only with permission unless specifically requested by the client. Coaching sessions are strength-based rather than deficit-driven. Ultimately, the coach's role is to help clients identify and mobilize their strengths and motivation to change a behavior.
Although health coaching is relatively new as a specialty, its positive impact can not be overstated. Many health professionals recommend health coaching as the need continues to grow.
Dr. Mark Hyman strongly recommends health coaching and has this to say;
"In truth, we all need a support system to help guide us toward sustainable behavior and lifestyle change. And the reality is that most healthcare happens outside the doctor's office."
---Dr. Mark Hyman
