SHOULD YOU BECOME A HEALTH COACH? | yes and no

- Before you become a health coach, there are a few things to consider to determine if it’s right for you. I’ve been a certified health coach for over 5 years, so let me share some insights and tips.
The career field of health coaching is growing. And while some health coaches decide to coach clients individually, others like myself, use their health coaching certification as a jumping off point for creating cookbooks, food products, wellness-centered brands, and online businesses.
In today's video I'm sharing a few reasons why it makes sense to pursue health coaching. I also have more information in the blog posts linked below. I hope you find this information helpful!

I am a nurse. However, I have realized it is not exactly what I want to do. I was always interested in health. I feel that nursing focuses on illness rather than on health. Not exactly what I am wanting to do. I love learning about and teaching healthy eating. I love preventative care. I would like to be a health coach. Just need a good mentor like you.
With your background and desire to help others, it sounds like you'd make a great health coach. I'm always a proponent of following your passions. :)
You may want to look into Functional Medicine since you have a medical background. I am a certified Functional Health Coach and also attended IIN. Health Coaching is a very impactful practice that helps so many people that need to simplify and unwind from the daily grind.
@@kathielr If you don't mind, where did you study to become a health coach?
Who wants to do nursing? overwork and underpay career. I'm also looking to get out anyway I can. A Health couch seems like a good idea.
I'm a RN with health coaching experience. I would just like to become certified.
Perfect timing! Since I was laid low, similar to your experience, and being burned out by my corporate job, I wondered what I could do to help other people not end up where I did with their health. Thank you so much.
Can’t wait to start my course with IIN in July! Love what you do Lisa, your passion for health and wellness is contagious. ☺️
Hope you enjoy the program Michelle! And thank you!
Great information!! I have for several years thought of becoming one even if only to get myself into better health! I enjoy helping others so definitely something to think about!
You are amazing, Lisa. You are kind, articulate, helpful, dedicated, inspiring and knowledgeable. Thank you for all these amazing educational videos!
You are so welcome!
This is so interesting - thank you for sharing this and opening my eyes to a whole new world (cue Disney song!). This sounds like a wonderful way to become healthier and share knowledge about healthier living with others. Thank you for bring your wisdom and all of your recipes to us. (I made your recent salsa recipe from the taco salad video and became obsessed. Might or might not have eaten it multiple times a day until it was gone. Must make more!)
I’ve worked for over 10 years in Pharmaceutcals sales. I always had an interest in health and wellness. I started my masters in nutrition a few years ago, but I had to stop due to brain aneurism that was an incidental finding...had many challenges which included 3 surgeries. Now after recovering I want to revisit my goal. Now I’m looking into becoming a health coach. We’ll see where I land but I do now I want help people.
Bless you.
I've been asking this question for months now so I'm ready to hear the answer lol. Really though, perfect timing :) looking forward to it!
Oh perfect! And I'll be answer questions live when the video plays tomorrow. Hope you find it helpful!
I started IIN in March and I absolutely love it. I never even knew this profession existed and I’m so happy I found my way. Yay for IIN!!
Hi I just called the school and had them send me information. Im super excited with the information Ive recieved so far. How did it go for you?
I just graduated from IIN! So nice to see another successful women entrepreneur. I am trying to narrow down where I want to apply this knowledge and I know it has to do with healthy eating and lifestyle too. I read your blog on this subject and appreciate the tips and the hands on experience that you shared, which is very helpful. Also I love your youtube channel and blog
Thanks so much! And congrats on your certification. There are many ways you can apply your knowledge, it's really up to where your passion lies. I wish you the best!
You’re such an inspiration! This is really helpful insight - thanks so much. Also, Netflix or CZcams needs to give you your own show! Your channel for health/wellness/lifestyle is like what Marie Kondo is for cleaning ❤️
Thanks so much Cassandra! 😊
I became a Health Coach in IIN because of you LIsa!!!!! I found your testimonies and loved them, now I am so happy to live a healthier life and I feel WAY better than before. Thank you LIsa!!! Love all your feed and recipes, you are such a nice person!
Amazing! So glad you're on you way to a healthier lifestyle 😊
Thank you so much for sharing.
I graduated in Psychology and have worked as HR executive but this is not what I really like. That's why I started to look for a job that I can use my Psychological knowledge and I'm interested in life and health coach. I'll planing and register in many courses for years from now. I always would like to use my skills and knowledge to help other people to have a better life, it's my passion and desire since I was young. But yep, I need to earn too.
Thank you so much again 🙏
So happy, that you think to do this video, I’m graduated! Finish my 3 years cours, and start know my business. I’m so happy ! Waiting for this video ❤️
I'm so glad! Can't wait to share.
Been your follower day 1 i bumped into your page. You’re truly an inspiration, I have growing seed of interest becoming one ❤️.
Thanks for being a part of this community! 😊
Wow. The timing of this is unbelievable! I just had a conversation with IIN admissions last week!
Oh great timing! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I started in May with IIN🤗 If you have any questions, let me know 🌹
@@Downshiftology I just want to say, you are amazing 💖
I started my own weight loss journey and hope to inspire others. Great work!
While I’m not interested in becoming a health coach, my sister is, so I will have her check out your video. Thanks, Lisa.
Thanks! Hope she gains some new insight on becoming one 😊
Such an informative video. Never though of this as a career path for some. It definitely not my line, but nevertheless so inspired by your story and sharing. I am sure others are inspired by you and your journey. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us Lisa, you make it seem so effortless and comprehensive. 👍🏻🙌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it, Daryl! I never thought of it as a career path as well, but life always keeps things interesting. ;)
Thank you for this video! I was just considering this topic this week! Wow! Perfect timing!
Oh great! I hope the video was helpful for you, Marsha. :)
I just came across your channel and I am LOVING your content. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome! Glad you're enjoying everything Sarah 😊
You are kind and very polite. Thank you for all the information.
Wow! I love your content, so honest and true... This is super amazing! Thank you so much
Hi, I love your posts. I do wish you would make more "modular mealpreps". I find planning everything out not possible at all, nor eating the same thing for a week. So I love your combination of mealprep with fresh. I regret there are only 4 of them.
Thank you for inspiring me, you help me create much better content on my youtube channel! 😍 You are the best!
Wow, thank you! 😊
As a Certified Fitness Trainer and Specialist in Fitness Nutrition, I have been wondering how to tie both of these certifications together, and I think this could be it. Thank you for sharing.
OMG serendipity. I have been considering IIN for years now, but never had the time to really focus on the classes, or to figure out the money angel. If you vouch for them, I will look into them again. I've been interested in nutrition and herbs since I was a teenager, and would like to coach people and also create my own line of vitamins and supplements. Thanks so much for doing this video!!
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Hello Lisa, I'm glad I just found you on CZcams and went to your lovely and quite info-packed site. In this video, I thought you said you had interviews of health coaches, but I can't find them.
It's unfortunate that i didn't see any of your videos in my feed since a long time!! I just remembered your channel and i thought i wasn't subscribed, but I'm surprised to see that even the ball is activated, even so none of your videos was suggested to me.
Oh that's a bummer! Maybe send a help email to CZcams to see if it's something they can fix.
Happy of what you become and congratulations Lisa😘
Thanks so much 😊
I’ve been a health, wellness, nutrition, and intermittent fasting coach for 11 years. You are so right, we get in the field with an intention of wanting to be healthier. That’s why I started 12 years ago. I am now an Ambassador and run coach for a national running club. I teach women to be a strong athlete it starts with nutrition first. We can be a gym rat but if we aren’t adopting a healthy diet it’s a waste. When it comes to di-sease and illness reduce your stress level and fill your diet with fruits and vegetables. Sleep is also very important in being healthier, take advantage of those 30 minute naps they work wonders not to mention they’re very refreshing. I also recommend meditation to silence the mind and bring the body into balance.
Awww Lisa! Thanks that was exactly what i need! 🤩
I hope this video gives you some new insights into health coaching!
This recipe was divine, thank you very much!!❤️😋
I’m very thankful for you Lisa🥰
Aw, thank you! Hope you enjoy the video!
You are true though educational lessons are important but practical knowledge is much more important to give suggestions.....feel thankful to hearing your advice.
Glad you could learn a few new things here!
I aspire to be health coach when I get my degree. Thanks for the video. 😊❤️
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed the video Ella!
Thank you for this! ✨
Great job girl go fowored good luck for you🥰
This video just came in time for me. I have learned souch already... Would love to do it as a business
I'm glad I could provide some insight! If you do begin the journey to becoming a health coach, I wish you all the best 😊
I live your videos....so helpful also got pdf of meal preps and loved it......just one request if you can add items like a grocery list which are required for each meal prep in each pdf
I'm currently going through the course at IIN.
Love your channel ❤️
Good luck!!
I wanted to join is it worth it. I'm not sure
@@chrisramirez9872
I believe so; if you plan on doing something with the information you acquire and have access to...
@@Downshiftology
Thank you 😊
@@aimercab8630 my last question. How much will the total schooling charge
I checked the notes but can't see where you bought that mug! Lol. Love it
Unfortunately that mug isn't available anymore. Sorry!
Ahh well thanks for letting me know :)
Great video very inspiring 👍❤
Will become a health coach soon on my birthday in September i am still working at office drooling over my samsung galaxy note 8 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
Oh wonderful, Ramya! That's wonderful you pursued it.
Show us your shooting set up and share details about camera , other gadgets that you use ✌🏻 because it looks amazingly good
Love this💕 So inspiring
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Hansika!
Thank you Lisa!!
Of course! Hope you enjoy this video :)
With regard to the IIN program you became certified in, I was curious as to the business side of it. I have read that there is outdated information with regard to building a business on social media, etc. Did you need additional business coaching outside of your health coach training? I was planning to sign with IIN tomorrow but it is 6K vs ACE which is a few hundred and you learn on your own with them. Thank you !
I want to become a Health Coach! But im just curious about what is the difference between a Certified Health Coach to a having a Diploma related to Health and Wellness?
I can't decide what way im going to do first and what is relevant. Any advice?
Looking forward this! I love your style and although I don't always get the ingredients u use in India, I make do with what I have and find alternatives.
And yes I want to know who shd become a health coach? Is it better do do a dietitians course or will health coach suffice in starting your own business?
Thanks so much! And that's great that you're able to modify with what you have. In terms of starting your business, it really depends on what you want to do. Dieticians receive much more education on nutrition and their focus is primarily food. Health coaches are more focused on behaviours and general wellness, which spans broader lifestyle areas.
looks delicious ... I'm defiantly making them
Great inspiring video!!! Thanks for posting!!!
Glad this video was helpful! 😉
Thanks mam..this is exactly what i need..thank u for sharing..
Most welcome 😊
Looking forward to it!!
Wonderful! I'm excited to share. :)
Hi Lisa🌸Thank you for the video. If I may ask, what was the cost of the course? Were there any exams?
Is the work you explained in the video that you do is very time consuming? When you started off how much time you were spending building your business on daily basis?
Hello, I wanted to know after completing you IIN Certification, did you have your website in place already? What I'm trying to say were you completely ready with website, FB, blog, youtube, recipes, ect..., or did you work on all those things during or after going live per say? How ready were you? I feel like i am never ready because I need this and that...
I just love your kitchen...
Thank you so much 😊
Kind of off topic, but I've been reading a little about low caloric density foods... apparently 400 calories of greens should keep us fuller for longer compared to 400 calories of steak...🤔 Maybe you could do a vlog and explain it all with some examples to help us make healthier choices!?
Thank you Lisa. As long as there are health coaches the human race will survive.
I think the more we can all help each other the better. :)
Wondering how health coaching could be incorporated w nursing
Im currently in nursing school and am interested in having this under my belt
I think health coaching compliments nursing beautifully. I know many nurses who have gone through the program and found it beneficial.
You really can't unless you want to work for an organization. That will put you in the same position as a nurse. overwork and underpay
I watch your video..and You inspired me
I am not socially active. So is it good to become a health coach. How to get the first lead or client when we are not socially active or to continue as a health coach.
This looks amazing!! Yum!!!
Yes
I liked IIN but for the cost its pricy for just a certificate and now it's it's almost 7,000. One nice thing is that allow affordable payments unlike most that do not.
That is pricey for just a certificate.
But then again the prices for mostly everything has gone up.
How long is the program?
I will take tomorrow tq
Do I need prior education? I have no experience in the healthcare field. I only have a diploma in Jewelry Design, which is completely different from health coaching.
Here in Russia, it is quite difficult to get a hold of good food like for the recipes you create/share. I’m in the process of immigrating to your wonderful country (heading to the US in 2 month). What can I do for the next 2 month to stay healthy?
You can never go wrong with incorporating more vegetables into your diet, and reducing your sugar and processed food consumption. :)
Hi Alex, I am living in Berlin Germany and I am very curious about two things in your country. Since Russia is neighboring Norwich AND North Korea (that huuuge)... is it true that Russians do not play soccer very well simply because the ground is icy most of the time due to the cold weather? And due to the cold weather areas can Russia grow enough tasty vegetables and meat on its own? I know that Denmark and Germany are exporting a lot of meat to Russia and Azerbaijan and Georgia a lot of fruit to Russia. Since your country is so huge why are you not able to grow it yourself?
Thinking of Trump I would rather live in Russia than in the US. Plus I think the food is better in Russia.
Shannen Best have you actually been to Russia? You say "I think the food is better..."
Downshiftology thank you
Love this recipe 😋😍
Amazing lisa........
It looks amazing
Love it
Love it all
I would like to become A life/healthcoach one day....🙏 love your video’s 👌
Excellent info
Great content...
I clicked on your video and I was like "oh this is the lady who taught me how to poach an egg last year!" hahaha
Haha! Welcome back to my channel 😉
Does anyone know anything about the Health Mastery Institute and their program? It's much smaller than others, it seems; and there's not so much information out there.
Please, could you tell me how long it take to complete the certification and if I need any other requirements like a state license to begin working. I live in Florida.
I've been a certified IIN coach since 2017 and haven't been able to do anything yet. I don't want to do 1:1 because it isn't scalable, so my biggest challenge has been how do I monetize? If I'm an influencer, how would I make money? Cookbooks? Meal plans? CZcams videos? (ad revenue). I can't find 1 nutrition coach who can help me. Most people telling you how to start online nutrition biz are NOT nutrition coaches.
How’s it going for you now?
I am a personal trainer and have enrolled into the PN1 certification program. I’ve since learned in my state I will be unable to use my certification because it encroaches on the Certified Dietitian, so I’ve put a hold on it. Do you have an idea on how I could use this certification in other ways???
Yes, each state is different when it comes to certifications. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the PN1 certification, so you'd have to enquire more about what you are and aren't allowed to say/do in your state.
@@Downshiftology - So very thankful for your response!! It is actually called Precision Nutrition certification and has been an expensive program for me to be unable to use. Can you recommend any other way I could apply that knowledge online maybe?? Or are you still tied to your state regulations?
Hai👋I want would like to ask if there anyone or person you know with dessert skill become healthy coach?? Because I really love to learn about healthy food but I don't have knowledge about healthy coach.
Healthy food for beautiful souls 💚
Super work
Lovely video
Wow 👏😮
Where did you purchase your sofa? Been looking for something like this for awhile.

You look beautiful that colour... is it olive? Plus you speak well, and the content of the video is great. Thank you.
Yes, it's sort of an olive/army green. My favorite shade of green! Thanks so much.
hi is it possible to practice health coach without a cert or degree? If I have the knowledge?
Amazing
Lady, can you advise how to become healthy coach??
