Health Coaching Tools For Nurses

The Journey From Nurse To Health Coach

Hi guys. Hello and welcome. This is Dr. Krista Ryan, and you are listening to the journey from nurse to health coach. I'm so excited that you guys are tuning in today. We are going to be talking about what do we need to teach as a coach? Like, what does that look like? Does it, does it mean that I actually have to be on the top of my health game?

And I'm going to say no. There's four things that you need to understand about the body when you shift any one of those four things, it shifts the destination of the whole. Body. So just like when you drive, when you get in a car, if you were to shift the steering on that car, you're going to reach a different destination.

And guys, the body works as a system. It works as a whole. So if, again, just like in a car, if I press the gas or press the brake, I'm actually going to achieve a different outcome and the whole. We'll do whatever input that I put in. Now, when it comes to diet and exercise, you don't have to just teach about diet.

You do not have to just teach about exercise in order to shift the whole body. When you improve those things, it'll improve the whole body. When you change exercise, it'll improve the whole body or it'll shift it or build it up. Um, the body has four different principles that you. Health coach can shift.

You don't have to rely on just maybe what you used to do. You can actually, I learn some of these things. That'll actually shift the body as a whole, and I'm so excited to bring some of those things to you. Within this podcast episode, we have to lay a foundation first though. And so I'm going to be talking a lot about business basics and bodybuilding in order to, um, create change within your health coaching clients and.

Um, these four things, if you don't know, and I'm going to be teaching a lot about this later on is mindset, mood, molecules, and mechanics, all those four things. If you shift one of those things, it'll put an input into the whole system and shift the destination. Of your vehicle, your vehicle being your body.

So as a health coach, you don't have to rely on just a certain amount of tools. You can actually create a focus for you and your clients so that they can move and be better and healthier tomorrow than you than they ever are today. When you started the process of working with them, do these things have to be big.

Do they have to be huge? Do I. Do I need to know a lot of information, guess what guys you don't. Um, some of this information you don't have to, you don't have to diagnose, you do not have to diagnose that's the job of somebody else, but you can take the person and see where the person's at. And because you're a nurse and you have a body basics and a body foundation of understanding of how the body works, you're able to shift the focus in a way.

You can change small things in order to create a big destination change. So if I was to walk from here to the next city over and I just did a two degrees shift, I actually wouldn't reach the city. I don't have. Um, I make a mistake by a lot in order to create a big mistake down the road. So, and our bodies work the same, the things that you put into your body on a daily basis shifts the whole body in the future and creates a bigger and bigger outcome in the future.

So just like, just like when things diverge. They end up being way, way apart. If you give it some distance or if you give it some time within the body. And so guys, this is what health coaching is. If you have any questions on this, we do go live within our Facebook community, the journey from nurse to health coach.

Every Thursday at 12 to noon. And that is Eastern standard time. If you guys aren't aware of that, now feel free to bring your questions to this community. This is a resource for you in your new health coaching career. It's a place where you can get your questions answered and answered by people who are farther along on the journey than you.

So I'm so excited that you've chosen this journey and we are here and available to come alongside you, and we're going to be doing it in a variety of different ways. And some of those ways is showing you how to connect with your clients without diet and exercise advice. We don't want to necessarily.

Use the traditional advice or things that they might, your person might be getting from other health care professionals. You want to actually take it a step further. You want to be better. You want to be 2% better because that what creates. Uh, Olympic type of athletic performance is only being 2% better than the next guy.

So guys, in your own business, as a health coach, you just have to be 2% better than the other person. And I have the tools to show you the way to do it without diet and exercise, traditional advice, because anybody that has Google can look up a lot of things. Um, and if you ask anybody, how do you lose weight?

Either exercise more. Or I diet, so people know some of the basics and they have those resources at your fingertips, but we want to use what you have already as a nurse. We want to either get you into a special field specialist field, or we want to make you a generalist, but we want to make you a generalist in a way that is not.

Common, um, so that you can create habits within your coaching clients that create long lasting change. And these habits are not rocket science sometimes shifting the body by shifting those four principles, mechanics, mood, mindset, and molecules. If you shift any one of those things, it will create a destination change for the whole body.

So guys live with passion and we'll see you in the next episode.
