Coaching Formats:​
We offer three formats:
​
1) A six-session series that runs over a 3-month period; 30 - 60 minute sessions every 1 or 2 weeks
2) A single, 1-hour "Micro-session"*
3) Hybrid packages: Combine coaching with separate learning sessions and/or lab testing
*Lasting success in health behavioral change is best achieved in a 3-month coaching series. However, a Micro-session is useful for trying out the coaching process or adding a new health goal to a prior coaching series.

What health & well-being coaching is:
Coaching is a forward-looking process that guides and support you in setting and achieving your own health goals.
​
We employ the Duke Health & Well-Being Coaching Process Model, which guides you through a series of steps:​
-
creating an optimal health vision aligned with your values
-
assessing your current health and choosing an area to focus on
-
exploring your readiness to change
-
setting SMART goals and weekly action steps
-
preparing for action
-
recognizing successes and learning from setbacks
-
determining next action steps
-
maintaining behavioral change
​
As metabolic health hinges on daily lifestyle choices and behaviors, health & well-being coaching is a uniquely powerful way to boost your metabolism, energy and performance!
​
What health & well-being coaching is NOT:
​
-
Coaching is not professional counseling, which tends to look back in time to diagnose and treat psychological issues.
-
Coaching is not medical diagnosis or treatment​.
-
Coaching is not education per se. During each session, the coach does not educate you on specific health matters.*
*Separate from coaching, we offer education and learning support (see LEARNING). Coaching and learning sessions can be interleaved at the request of the client or as part of a hybrid package that includes health coaching, metabolism consulting, and lab testing.
