Short answer, no. A health coach can educate, inform, advise, explain, coach, or share ideas that can be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle. For example, a health coach (or personal trainer for that matter) cannot prescribe a nutrition plan to help treat a medical condition or disease. A health coach can give recipe and meal ideas that can be incorporated into an average healthy lifestyle. Contact us today to schedule your free no obligation introductory call.

Both a health coach and personal trainer can make general suggestions about the kind of food that’s likely to support their clients’ goals. They cannot prescribe or treat a persons medical/clinical condition or diagnoses. That is reserved for licensed dietitians/nutritionist or medical professionals.

When you go through a health coach or personal trainer at Jisel Wellness, your sessions are client-focused and are based on the “whole person” approach to a healthy lifestyle. While we do have fitness programs that are readily available, your coach will help you find out what will benefit you most based on your current health and fitness goals. With our personal trainer, you will be given a fitness assessment in order to find out your body's needs and strengths and a fitness routine will be recommended. Contact us today to schedule your introductory call.

A health coach focuses on helping individuals set and achieve specific health, fitness, or lifestyle goals. While a therapist or counselor works on addressing mental health issues, emotional challenges, and past trauma, a health coach provides practical guidance, encouragement, and strategies to promote overall well-being. Health coaching is more forward-looking and goal-oriented, while therapy often delves into past experiences to help you heal emotionally.

Results from health coaching vary depending on your unique goals, health conditions, and the level of commitment you bring to the process. Many clients experience improvements in areas such as nutrition, fitness, stress management, and overall lifestyle. Health coaching is a collaborative process, so your results will also depend on your willingness to take actionable steps toward achieving your desired outcomes.

No, health coaching is for everyone, regardless of your current fitness level or health condition. Whether you're just starting your wellness journey, trying to improve specific health metrics, or working to maintain a healthy lifestyle, health coaches can tailor their approach to meet your unique needs and goals.

Currently, in most cases, health coaching is not covered by insurance. However, there are a few exceptions: Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs): You may be able to use your HSA or FSA funds to pay for health coaching services if it's part of a prescribed treatment plan or if you have a doctor's note indicating medical necessity. Medical Necessity: Some health insurance plans may cover health coaching if it’s prescribed to help manage certain chronic conditions, such as improving diet for managing diabetes or weight loss for cardiovascular health. Clients typically pay for health coaching directly and may later submit receipts or invoices to their insurance company for reimbursement. Employer Benefits: Some employers offer wellness benefits that may cover health coaching sessions. Contact your employer to see if this is an option. **For the most accurate information, it’s best to reach out to your insurance provider to inquire about any coverage options available to you.**
