Imagine a health enthusiast’s consultation with a physician. The doctor expects her to share her diseases or symptoms within the first 30 seconds. But what if she has no such disease or symptom to report? Any good doctor would be obviously upset. “Why on earth did you come to me then?” would be the doctor’s incredulous but unsaid expression.
Within the next 30 seconds, there is something else that any doctor would expect – that this ‘patient’ will at least share with them any health fears she might be having. Indeed, not a day goes by without most doctors encountering a couple of hypochondriacs. But again, what if she doesn’t have any such fears, like whether her jaw pain is a heart attack or her back pain is cancer?
Being a health buff, she is consulting with the doctor for something entirely different. She wants to learn how to live healthily, prevent diseases, pursue wellness, age gracefully, maintain beauty & youthfulness, better her emotional quotient, extend longevity and achieve peak performance. But for such loftier goals, all the good doctor can think of is sending her to a dietician or a fitness expert.
While these health professionals can fill up some of the blanks for her, she wouldn’t get a complete wellness solution from any of them. This is where the role of a Certified Health Coach or Lifestyle Coach comes in. And this career of being a certified health coach is booming already, with much better years and decades to come for this profession that is pegged to emerge as a $35 billion opportunity. However, not all Certified Lifestyle Coaching programs are created equal. For instance, Viegyan’s Certification Program in Lifestyle Coaching has some unique advantages.
But before we delve into those differences, a word about a special breed of doctors are warranted. Though not popular in this part of the globe yet, there is a specialisation in healthcare, called functional medicine, especially in developed nations led by the US. Also called preventive medicine in some countries, this should not be confused with the community medicine approach of preventing mainly infectious diseases in populations.
