A positive experience about the online 1-to-1 coaching process I received. Happy to share this with you.
My complaints
After reading many books, listening to podcasts, reading blogs and more, I thought I had enough knowledge to 'manage my life' in a healthy way.
Over a year ago, my intestines started sending signals that things were not going well and I was repeatedly getting infections. I knew the origin was stress, but no matter what I did, there was only a slight change. At the same time, I am in my perimenopause, which made it even more challenging.
As a final option, I decided to start the 3 coaching sessions process with you.
The coaching
From the first session, I noticed how you turn your knowledge into action. Your enthusiasm and high energy were for me a reminder of how I used to be and of something I was missing in myself and wanted back.
I was amazed at how quickly you were able to translate my symptoms into solutions - whether it was food, exercise or stress management. You gave me a good mirror that I was unaware of, taking more action than I was used to.
Since I am currently sick, I have to be seen at the Occupational Health and Safety Service from my employer. I was surprised that no tip or advice was given regarding changing my lifestyle or encouraging me to take action.
Now I know that they themselves lack knowledge. I think you can also add great value to such organisations by equipping them with knowledge that will help people recover faster and return to work faster.
Also, from a financial perspective - I used to use a lot of supplements and through your advice I have learnt that I don't need so many - this can be seen as a 'return on investment' and also the fact that thanks to you I can get on back to work faster, which is also a financial gain.
Addressing the cause
The healthcare system we live in is good at supporting acute diseases and has made great progress in this, but unfortunately not enough to support patients with chronic diseases (Irritable bowel syndrome, Cholesterol, blood pressure high/low etc..) simply because of lack of knowledge of doctors.
When someone with high cholesterol or high blood pressure goes to the GP, he leaves the room with a prescription for medication (which will only cause more complications in the long run), he does not get a solution on how to solve it. This is what your approach does!
I would highly recommend your coaching sessions to anyone who cares about their life and body and wants to live their life with quality.
Although I had some knowledge, the sessions with you were very personal (each person has a different body and background) and I learnt to recognise or test some types of food I might be sensitive to.
I have also learnt that knowledge without action is not enough
I love that you also use your intuition, for example, when you recognised several times what kind of person I am and what my needs are from a lifestyle perspective.
In closing, I am very grateful that I chose to go through this journey with you!
All the best,
Lior
