Nutrition and Health Coaches

Today I’m going to talk to you about Nutrition and Health Coaches. You have all heard of Nutritionists, Dieticians, Nutritional Therapists and Personal Trainers, but what is a Nutrition and Health Coach?

Nutrition and Health Coaches educate their clients about nutrition, health and wellbeing. They design a practical eating plan which fits in with the clients needs and lifestyle. In addition to a practical eating plan, they also offer lifestyle advice.

They "coach" their clients using sound knowledge of nutrition, explaining the importance of wholesome real foods and healthy eating, advising and encouraging clients to adopt more health-supporting food choices, cooking skills, eating habits and other lifestyle behaviours. If needed, coaches can plan and advise on how to prepare quick, easy, tasty and healthy meal options, and devise recipes and menus. Working with the client, they plan recommendations based on health concerns, personal goals, food preferences and practical issues, among others. This results in people making better informed choices around food, exercise and lifestyle which will improve their own health and that of family members.

A few instances where a Nutrition and Health Coach can help?

• Know your eating badly but don’t want to admit it? Deep down you know these eating habits are detrimental to your health but just don’t how to change them because your life is so busy and stressful?
• Maybe you just need to lose a few pounds and have tried every diet in the book?
• Low energy or constant energy slumps throughout the day?
• Constant sugar cravings?
• Think you’re eating a healthy diet but always bloated by the end of the day and not sure what the trigger is?
• Have you been diagnosed with food intolerance and don’t know what you can and can’t eat?
• Even if you think everything is fine, reviewing your diet can improve your mood, increase your energy and enhance your overall health and wellbeing.

I am a qualified Nutrition and Health Coach working in Blackrock, Dublin. So if you think you may need some guidance on any of the above drop me an email at steph@smartfitness.ie

How it works?

First Consultation

I offer a full dietary analysis where we discuss what foods you consume, your energy levels, digestion, stress levels etc. in detail. We will work together at your own pace outlining your health concerns and goals, and based on how quickly or slowly you want to make the changes, we will devise a new eating plan. I advise everyone as an individual; this is not a one plan fits all method. We will focus on your goals and together devise a plan that you will be able to adhere too.

Second Consultation

3-4 weeks after the first consultation we meet up for a shorter consultation which will focus on your progress or issues and amend your eating plan accordingly.

Follow up consultations

This will depend on the client and whether they need future guidance.

Fees:

The first consultation is €60 (please allow for 1hr 30 minutes for the first consult).

The second and subsequent consultations are €40.

I also offer consultations by email €40.

All appointments made this month will be charged at half price! 
This is an offer not to be missed!

Remember…

Health is a journey and it can often be a long process. However, taking it step by step, making simple changes each day, will help achieve wellness in your life. Give yourself a break if you stumble, start again with a positive attitude which will lead to positive healthy change in your life.
