According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), six out of 10 adults in the United States have a chronic disease, while four in 10 have two or more. Supported by research, lifestyle factors play key roles in the potential power to prevent and manage chronic disease and other illnesses. But where do you begin? Consider partnering with a board-certified health coach. 

Health coaching is a growth-promoting practice designed to help patients enhance their well-being by eliciting motivation to affect behavior change. The National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching and the National Board of Medical Examiners work collaboratively to implement rigorous standards that lead to certification. It’s important to ensure that your coach is among a select group of board-certified practitioners.

Health coaching has been shown to produce clinically effective results in numerous biomarker risk factors, as well as in the management of chronic disease. Randomized controlled trials indicate that coaching is effective in reducing the risk and supporting the management of chronic disease, including type 2 diabetes, cancer, obesity and hypertension.
