What are the Doctors Saying?

Do you need a health coach? 

"Integrative Health Coaching can be used with both high functioning people who are
seeking to optimize their health as well as with medical patients with great physical and
emotional vulnerabilities.”  Duke University Integrative Medicine Center


Dr. Edward Phillips, Harvard Medicine says “a health coach helps you to modify lifestyle
choices to increase quality of life.  They utilize small behavioral changes to improve
your health.”


“Health Coaches can provide the instruction, the tools, the information, the facilitation
of behavior change and of information exchange that leads to the creation of health
instead of the suppression of symptoms or disease.” Dr. Mark Hyman


“I am very optimistic about the future of medicine in America.  70% of  the aging process
is driven by lifestyle changes.  If we can change the culture of wellness in America and we
can build systems, we have had discussions in the Senate and the Institute of Medicine
about how you can make a tier of health care provicers who could provide the
infrastructure to make it easy for people to do the right thing.” Dr.  Mehmet Oz


In a CNN interview, Dr. Mehmet Oz reported that health coaches should be a part of every
public clinic, medical office and hospital wellness center and should be reimbursed by
insurance companies & corporate wellness programs.
