Life and Travel with food allergies
Doctor, Psychologist and Life CoachWhy to Hire a Health Coach?
A health coach is a professional, who would work with you on developing your goals regarding health improvements, dealing with your health challenges and limitations and supporting you on the journey to achieve highest possible potential and confidence to live your life to the fullest.
Even though you have other professionals in your life, such as your family physician, nurse or dietitian, they typically have limited time and resources to attend to your complex needs. They don’t have time to help you to develop an individual plan to fit your busy life, implement your family’s needs into how to live with food allergies or any other dietary restrictions.
They would provide you with information about your condition or food allergies, but it is left to you to find out what that means in the daily life, where to shop for foods, how to approach situations, such as work lunches, dating, family gatherings etc. You are left alone to decide how you going to tell others about your food limitation. Once again, it is you, who needs to make a decision on how your cooking for yourself and others is going to look like.
Not easy decisions, right? And, I haven’t started talking about finding yourself in unfamiliar places, traveling, starting a new job, or planning meetings that involve food. Food and dining is part of our social life, our family memories and building new relations with others.
Hiring a health coach would make many situations easier; get you prepared to deal with them. You will be able to approach those new challenges from a different perspective and save yourself many struggles. If you are living with food allergies, you might also experience:
Feeling Stuck
Socially Isolated
Being Unable to Change the Situation
Missing Out on Fun Things in Life
Struggling to be Healthy
Feeling That Life is Too Demanding
Lack of Support
