1. What does a health coach do?
A health coach provides guidance and support to help individuals achieve their health and wellness goals. I specialize in nutrition, chronic health conditions, and science-backed dietary strategies to create personalized plans.

2. How is a health coach different from a nutritionist or dietitian?
While dietitians and nutritionists focus on clinical nutrition and medical dietary needs, a health coach provides ongoing support, motivation, and practical strategies to implement lasting lifestyle changes.

3. Do you offer meal plans?
Rather than prescribing strict meal plans, I help clients develop sustainable eating habits, understand portion control, and make informed food choices that fit their unique needs.

Nutrition & Diet

4. How do you determine the best way of eating for me?
I assess factors such as your health history, lifestyle, and dietary preferences to guide you toward balanced, sustainable eating habits. My approach is based on general nutrition principles and behavioral strategies rather than medical nutrition therapy.

5. Do you follow a specific diet philosophy (e.g., keto, paleo, vegan, Mediterranean)?
I don’t promote a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I provide education on different dietary patterns and help you make informed choices that fit your needs and preferences while supporting overall well-being.

6. Can you help with weight management?
Yes! I offer guidance on portion control, mindful eating, and sustainable habits that support healthy weight management. My focus is on long-term lifestyle changes rather than restrictive dieting.

7. Can you provide a meal plan for me?
Rather than prescribing specific meal plans, I help you learn how to build balanced meals and create a sustainable way of eating that works for you. I can offer meal ideas, grocery shopping tips, and recipe inspiration to support your goals.

8. Can nutrition support chronic health conditions?
Yes. While I do not provide medical nutrition therapy, I can offer general education on nutrition strategies that support your health. If you have a medical condition requiring specific dietary interventions, I recommend working with a registered dietitian or your healthcare provider, and I can support the implementation of their recommendations.

9. I have food sensitivities or allergies. Can you help?
I can guide you in identifying patterns and making informed choices based on your body's responses to foods. However, I do not diagnose or treat food allergies or intolerances. If needed, I recommend working with a healthcare professional for testing and medical advice.

Science-Backed Coaching Approach

10. What does "science-backed" nutrition mean?
It means that my recommendations are based on the latest research, clinical studies, and evidence-based guidelines rather than fad diets or unproven trends.

11. How do you stay updated with the latest health research?
I continuously review scientific literature, attend professional training, and follow reputable health and nutrition organizations to ensure my advice is current and effective.

Working Together

12. How do coaching sessions work?
Sessions are personalized and are done virtually. We’ll discuss your goals, challenges, progress, and action steps to ensure continuous improvement.

13. How long does it take to see results?
It varies depending on your goals and health conditions. Many clients notice positive changes in energy, digestion, and overall well-being within a few weeks, while long-term health improvements require consistent effort.

14. Do you accept insurance?
Health coaching is typically not covered by insurance, but I can provide receipts for HSA/FSA reimbursement if applicable.

15. How do I get started?
You can book a free consultation to discuss your goals and see if we’re a good fit to work together!
