Ethan Schiff is a health coach who launched himself into the realm of coaching after his own life-changing health transformation. Sound familiar? 

Ethan was 312 lbs and had been dieting for the majority of his life. So, he went on a quest to unlearn everything he had been taught about nutrition, weight loss and health, to create a new approach. He lost 130 lbs and transformed his entire life by basically experimenting first on himself.

Ethan is the founder of Optimized Health, a health coaching company that has coaches on staff to help facilitate lifestyle transformations for clients all over the world. This is pretty much the dream for most of us, we’d say. And Ethan has created it expertly. 

During this episode, Ethan tells us about his frustration with trying to educate the public about health coaching. He also explains how he left his successful business to start coaching and how he handled imposter syndrome (he has some pretty cool insights). He also explains how you can start on a Friday and have a business by Monday. 

One of the main points that we don’t want you to miss is Ethan’s advice on marketing - it is not trickery. Be authentic and get the clients who want to work with you for the right reasons. 

This episode is your chance to learn from a veteran health coach who's still in the game, still in the trenches, and successfully changing lives. Please enjoy!

Our guest in this episode is Bryce Henson, the CEO of Fit Body Bootcamp, and leadership and development, coach. Fit Body Bootcamp is an explosively successful worldwide boutique fitness brand. Bryce shares his journey from an unfit guy to a fit guy, to a personal trainer, to a studio franchisee, and beyond. A very interesting trajectory for a fitness pro to consider. 

As a leadership coach and speaker, Bryce also has wonderful words of inspiration and advice for all of us. He teaches some lessons about defining avatar clients, the power of the beginner’s mindset, how to help people who are like you (or like you were), what it’s like starting a franchise, and the difference between a coach and a trainer. We love learning from absolute heroes in the wellness space and we hope you enjoy this chat with Bryce Henson. 

Dallas Travers is a business coach who helps health coaches identify their niche. She can help you figure out the unique solution you can bring to the health coaching world, and then eventually scale. She focuses on using what she calls the Ripple Effect System to find more clients, build a big list, and launch a course without compromising your values.

Her business mentorship for health coaches is called The Hive. It offers to hold you accountable to all those unsexy and simple habits you need to have in place for a legit coaching business.

During the conversation, Dallas teaches us a lot. Erin and Laura had a lot of fun covering topics such as doubling down on a niche, why people hire a specific coach, and - closely related - what the superpower of the health coach really is.

Dallas also explains how using a low-price / high-volume product can really work, how to scale your business (and what that word really means), how the ripple effect system works and how long it takes.

Dallas has a very positive and real energy that we are sure you will enjoy.

In this episode, we’re thrilled to have registered dietician and certified health coach Martha Tettenborn. Martha opted into a health coaching certification after three decades as a dietician because she felt she could make more meaningful changes in the health of her clients as a health coach.

Martha’s private health coach practice, The Cancer Doula, promotes a low-carb, whole-foods-based approach to disease prevention and cancer symptom management. She has been a featured speaker at the Low Carb Long Weekend Summit and on numerous podcasts. Martha also instructs courses for the Nutrition Network and Udemy on the ketogenic approach to cancer treatment.

Martha authored the latest specialty course for Primal Health Coach Institute, our Functional Therapeutic Diet Specialty certification. So, in this conversation, Martha, Erin and Laura talk through several functional nutritional methodologies and explain how health coaches can use them.

Martha also shares how she used keto and fasting during her cancer treatment, why she moved from being an RD to a Health Coach (to make more impact), and why small changes are important with her elderly clients. She also tells us about the work and learning she did to help create this certification - including eliminating some of the not so well supported diets. 

If you are a fan of using diet as a tool to create better health, this is the episode for you.

Oliver (Olly) Wood got started in the business world after seven years as an independent personal trainer. And as he started online, he rapidly built a company up to over 15 staff members, helping thousands of clients upgrade their bodies, energy and productivity. Using a four-step system - which he shares with us - his ability to take complicated topics and simplify them down into actionable steps (which you can integrate into your busy lifestyle) is what makes him a world-class coach.

Olly coaches busy professionals over 40 to upgrade their gut health to transform their bodies and energy. By stepping back and realizing this game isn’t simply just about doing more and working harder, he removes the restrictions of dieting and coaches them through a proven framework. This framework allows his clients to feel stronger, more energetic and more capable.

During the conversation, Olly shares with us how he approaches clients who are new to exercise vs clients who have been exercising for years. He also gets into how to make “the coach’s bias unperceivable,” as Erin puts it. He also gets deep into how to motivate clients beyond just focusing on their fitness outcome which involves establishing goals at the very beginning. 

Olly is a health expert with a deep background in business and health. Along with a deep background in gut health, biomechanics, leadership, mindfulness, and nutrition. We have a lot to learn from Olly.

Clark Lagemann is an entrepreneur, executive, and three-time Ironman who is changing lives by fixing the biggest problems in healthcare. He is the leader at the helm of Avidon Health, an all-in-one health coaching technology platform that automates personalized health and wellbeing experiences to create behavior change at scale.

Avidon Health provides an innovative behavior change solution that uses human-centered and data-driven cognitive training methods to create sustainable healthy habits and produce outcomes for real people. We all love to learn about the technology and platforms that already exist and have been iterated and optimized to meet the demand of the rapidly growing health coaching industry. The Avidon Health platform has hundreds of existing health programs and templates that users can leverage or use to create your own fully branded program on top of Avataan’s platform.

During this episode, Clark digs into how the healthcare industry is changing (for the better), explains how “pay for performance” works, and how technology can help make coaches’ and clients’ lives better. They also cover how coaches can overcomplicate their lives (and the lives of their clients) with all the tools they think they need.

Erin and Laura talk to a lot of health coaching platforms with whom they have no financial or professional affiliation - and this one is particularly wowed. And just for listening to this episode, you can access their coaching automation solution (for a limited time) by going to https://go.avidonhealth.com/engagement-rx-podcast-hcr

If you take nothing else away from this episode with our guest Christina Frei, remember the generosity practice that asks the question “Pretend that you have all the resources you could ever need and want - what would you want to give through some fascinating research?” Such a fun question.

Christina believes that when you contemplate what can happen in a real human connection, then your marketing sparkles with possibilities. This matters particularly for service-based professionals who need to market their humanity AND their expertise.  Sounds familiar doesn’t it, health coaches?

Christina talks about how we are all going through a transition of letting go of martyrdom and moving into a place of service. This is particularly important when you are struggling with pricing your services. Christina also teaches us ways to decide what a client really needs not what they think they want,  and what we can gain from doing some type of “business journalling.”

Most interestingly, Christina uncovered five entrepreneurial archetypes: nurturers, adventure guides, door openers, steady presences, and celebrators. Each of these types has its way of changing lives and getting clients.  So, if you are ready to learn what type you are (and which type Laura and Erin are), dig into this episode.

Our guest in this episode is Risa Groux. Risa is a functional nutritionist and certified autoimmune coach who has been in the health coaching industry forever! Risa serves her clients with the firm belief that optimal health comes from looking at root causes -- typically systemic inflammation and gut health. She utilizes functional nutrition guidelines and comprehensive testing such as blood and stool to determine the road map of root issues.

So, this episode is for lab value lovers and those who love to geek out on data. Risa has seen it all and has a lot of coaching wisdom to share. So listen in to learn from a seasoned pro. 

In our conversation with Risa, we get into topics like rejecting a diagnosis to get to a deeper reason, how Risa orders and uses blood tests for her clients, and she shares her journey of how she got to where she is today. We also dig into why you should know what your body is doing at all times, why Risa wrote her book, which toxins we should be looking out for, and how she structures her client meetings. 

*Please be sure to understand the regulations in your area with respect to their health coaching scope of practice. In many regions, health coaches are not allowed to work directly with lab tests. 

Marina Borukhovich is the CEO of YourCoach.Health which is a practice management software solution for health, fitness and nutrition coaches. This is a unique piece of software that helps you expand the reach of your programming. They call it the only operating system for behavior change which is powered by health coaches. It is so refreshing to hear from someone who is putting coaches first.

Marina started her career as a developer at Lockheed Martin, followed by several entrepreneurial ventures. After moving to Amsterdam, being diagnosed with cancer and battling the disease, her passion turned to helping other women feel in control and beautiful through by starting the Future of Health Foundation.

During the conversation with Marina, Erin and Laura ask her about her cancer treatment, how it could be more targeted for her, specifically. They also dig into how she went about developing the YourCoach app, why she focussed so much on making it about the coaches, and how they use feedback and incentives from and for their users to ensure it is the most usable app possible (for the coaches and their clients).

They also do a deep dive into why learning how to build a program is so important for coaches. The importance of being able to develop your own program, cannot be overstated. The message is - do your own thing, don’t be a cookie cutter.

Chris Mirabile is the founder and CEO of Novos, the first human longevity company to simultaneously address the 12 mechanisms of aging - the biological causes of aging which Chris explains very well - through its innovative patent-pending over-the-counter formulations. 

With that in mind, during the conversation around aging, they also covered what aging has historically been, becoming decrepit with failing health, and what it could possibly be like if we took everything we've learned about it and made intentional choices to age differently. 

Chris also shares with us the story of why he became so interested in ageing (he had a brain tumour as a kid), he tells us all about the fancy term “antagonistic pleiotropy” (a fancy way of explaining how our genes age), and what ageing really is (it’s not just wrinkles). Chris explains how we would coach someone who is interested in longevity differently from someone who is interested in gaining muscle mass, and how the USA is one of the only countries in the world that has reduced its health span while increasing its lifespan. 

This episode is very fun and exciting. Even if you don’t coach anyone who is worried about ageing or longevity (at the moment, anyway) we know you'll enjoy it.

In this episode, we have the honour of hosting Julie Hamilton, a distinguished health coach with profound expertise in the complex realm of fibromyalgia. Julie also has a corporate background in human resources and made a move to combine these two aspects of her background. Julie now consults with organizations and corporations to coach them to support their employees with chronic health conditions. 

For us coaches, this is such a compelling way to construct a health coaching practice and I hope you get some ideas around how you can think more big picture as you go out into the world looking to make an impact on people's health. You can work with people directly, but you could also work more systemically. 

Julie believes that there is no magic bullet for fibromyalgia and that no one treatment works for everyone. She guides her clients to find the treatment options and lifestyle choices that best support them and their lifestyles. 

Get ready to gain profound wisdom from Julie Hamilton as she sheds light on navigating fibromyalgia and illuminates the path toward whole health. Whether you're a health coach or simply passionate about making a positive impact on people's well-being, this episode will undoubtedly inspire and inform. Enjoy the journey!

Our guest on this episode is Dr. Libby Wilson. This is another exciting conversation with a doctor who turned away from a conventional medical practice to pursue a functional, patient-centred, medical practice. 

Early in her career, Dr. Libby realized that conventional medicine effectively served patients in many ways, but fell short in others. She loves establishing long-term relationships with her patients and enjoys collaborating with them to achieve the best possible outcomes. Her passion lies in helping people achieve optimal health as naturally as possible. She believes strongly in identifying the root cause of illness.

There is so much to take away from this episode including how to take a bold leap but do it in a way that is pragmatic and sensible, how to use health coaching in a medical practice (or how to be a health coach in a medical practice), and also how to make the right investments of time, money and energy to grow your business. We also dig deep into why people are looking to people like Dr. Libby who partner with health coaches for medical help and guidance.    

Dr. Barrie Tan is extremely excited about vitamin E and is actually hailed as a trailblazer and the world’s foremost expert on vitamin E. A scientist first and foremost, Dr. Tan earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry/Biochemistry from the University of Otago, New Zealand and spent several years as a professor at UMass. Dr. Tan has committed himself to researching and developing phytonutrients that reduce and slow chronic disorders.

Dr. Tan is credited with discovering a form of vitamin E called tocotrienol from three major sources – Palm, Rice and Annatto. Editor of two prestigious books on tocotrienol and the International Tocotrienol Conference founder. He is currently the President of American River Nutrition and his mission is simple — improve the everyday health of people’s lives. 

In our conversation, we learn what vitamin E is, why we need it and if we need to supplement with it. We also get into what an antioxidant really is and what it really does in the body (hint: it is important).  Dr. Tan also explains where vitamin e is found, how Pharma companies don’t give plants their due credit, and what changes in your body when you get enough vitamin e. Other important aspects we cover are how vitamin e affects diabetes, triglycerides and fatty liver disease. 

Cory Sterling is a lawyer. But not any lawyer. Cory is a cool lawyer. A holistic health nut himself, Cory left the shiny and very corporate white-collar world of law to help health professionals set up their businesses in a way that keeps them protected. 

Your number one protection is going to be watching your language and staying within your scope of practice but a very close second on the list is to have your terms and conditions, waiver, privacy policy, and client agreement all buttoned up (from a legal perspective). Good news - Cory walks us through this in a way that (believe it or not) is kind of fun!

Cory’s business, Conscious Counsel, provides legal counsel for creative, ambitious and heart-leading business owners who build communities and make the world a better and healthier place. 

During our conversation, we get into topics such as the biggest problems coaches have getting started with the legal aspects of the business, how to navigate the law when there is no definition for health coaching, where the biggest issues with the law originate, and what Cory calls the Screenshot Defence. We also dig into how often coaches really get sued, what is and is not in the scope of practice, the legal aspect of supplements and providing diagnostics. And we cover a whole lot more in this fun conversation about the law.

Mason Bendewald directed the video production of some of the biggest at-home workouts of all time, and he has a lot to teach about how to be compelling on camera. This is such a timely topic since many of us, for better or for worse, find ourselves needing to be on camera a lot these days. 

Mason Bendewald founded his company, Mega Mace, in 1995. Operating out of Philadelphia, they produced: commercials, corporate videos, and promos – even creating the popular Reject Film Festival in 1997. But after shooting an infomercial for Beachbody.com, Mason moved the company to Los Angeles and shifted his focus to fitness production which was a defining moment for his growing company.

In this episode, we learn that people connect to people. So in order to make meaningful connections, your audience needs to know you and like you. Mason tells us how to do just that. He also fills us in on how to communicate as a knowledge expert, why we need to get vulnerable when telling our own stories, and how to engage our audience - even if that audience is doing a workout in a gym.  

Tune in and learn how to tap into your own invaluable art of charisma. 

Rena Vokoun, founder and CEO of Passion Fit is a writer, TEDx speaker, media spokesperson, and proven and successful health and wellness expert who serves companies, nonprofits, universities, schools, and the media through passion fit products, services, and content on fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and work-life balance.

The mission of her company is to empower women to flourish both personally and professionally through wellness. Reena has so much insight into starting and growing a successful health and wellness business.

During this episode, Reena shares with us how she made the leap from working at Google to being an entrepreneur and health coach (hint: she wasn’t an overnight success). She also explains how she determined what problem she was going to solve for her clients, why she focuses on body function and not weight loss, and how she helps overworked and overextended women. She also gives us a deep look into group coaching versus one-on-one which is an area many of us struggle with.

Finally, Reena gives us all a great pep talk, explaining that you have to build your own confidence - don’t wait for it to come to you.

As always, we love learning from successful peers in our industry, and we think you will too. Please Enjoy.

Dr. John Berardi is best known as one of the founders of Precision Nutrition. His most recent endeavor, Change Maker Academy, is a resource pool for practicing coaches from all walks of life. Additionally, his book Change Maker is a must-read for all health coaches.

Dr. Berardi joined Erin and Laura to talk about starting and subsequently selling Precision Nutrition, the benefits of coaching clients who don't live near you, how to identify and leverage your client's needs, and getting curious about human nature, and the future of health and wellness, and more.

Kasey Goins is a functional nutritionist who works with ambitious women to rebalance their hormones so they can win their power back. We think you will agree that this is a particularly powerful niche. 

Kasey considers herself a health detective. She takes a root-cause, metabolism-first approach to hormone havoc, skin issues, and period problems to help her clients go from haywire to harmony, hormonally speaking. 

Kasey’s other specialty is business - and we know all of you health coaches love talking business. So in this episode, Kasey shares with us why she thinks that the health and wellness industry needs to be bigger. She also digs into how to create your messaging and how to be clear about what you do and what you can help your clients with. 

Kasey explains why she left a career as a medical assistant and how it actually helped her cred as a health coach. This spurred some really deep conversations about transitioning to, growing, and maintaining a successful health coaching business. Including, how to brand your web presence to be more aligned with you and your ideal client. 

It's always a wonderful experience to hear from our health coaching peers, and so fun and exciting to consider that there's a space for every one of us. And as a veteran health coach, Kasey offers some actionable pep talks to help you focus your energy where it's going to help you the most.

Joseph and Rachel Stauffer are ketogenic YouTubers who go by the handle 2KrazyKetos. Their journey into coaching, thought leadership, and community building started in a familiar way - through a life-changing health improvement spurred by a ketogenic diet. These two are an absolute joy to hang out with,  listen to, and learn from.

In learning from them, you will see how they hold a supportive, non-judgmental, and curious space for their fans and followers. They also have a “know, like and trust” factor that has helped them earn a living helping and coaching people. This is a fun conversation that covers a lot of ground.

Topics we dive into range from how they got their YouTube channel started on a bet, how they came to terms with charging their clients for their services, how they used a video to explain how they became the “amazing shrinking couple,” and how Rachel forced her mom into a Keto lifestyle after finding blockages in her heart.

They also share how they come up with the plentitude of content they create, how their goal is to share their own experiences (and mistakes), plus how and why they give away so much free information. The most inspiring part of this episode is how passionate they both are about creating a community that supports and encourages hope in its members.

Sarah Hagstrom is the founder and CEO of the Coach and Grow Co (a name we love) which is a business that helps health coaches grow their businesses online. Sarah came to the business coaching world after having her own incredible success as a health coach. 

Sarah’s goal is to empower health coaches to embrace their passion, show up for themselves and celebrate their success. She has been through the process of launching a health coaching business and can leverage that expertise to help increase your success. Her aim is to provide all of her clients with an authentic, refreshing and engaging experience that doesn’t really feel like work. 

One of the best ways for new and aspiring coaches to learn the business side of things is to learn it from someone who put in the arduous reps to achieve success for themselves. Sarah takes us through her journey, what she learned, and what she teaches now. 

During the conversation, Sarah shares how important the “know like and trust” factor is, how to be intentional about who you show up as, and how she built her business versus what she recommends now (hint: it’s not about hustle). You are going to love it when Sarah tells us that you only need five hours a week for coaching and shares her framework to make that possible. 

Sarah, Erin and Laura also do a deep dive into how “not being good at” social media is not a good excuse. The truth is that you can learn to be good at exactly how you want to do it. Keep it simple, clear and most of all authentic. 

We here at Health Coach Radio cannot get enough of hearing from health coaches who have had massive success and are now helping other health coaches achieve the same. We hope you feel the same and enjoy this episode.

Our guest today is Lucia Hawley, the mindful weight loss coach for women. Weight loss, particularly weight loss for women, is a vast topic to tackle. I'm sure we can all recall a handful of women who have spent their lives trying to lose weight, and that's exactly what we are talking about today. Lucia's crusade is to help women lose weight without the struggle and suffering of deprivation-based dieting. During this episode, we discuss diet culture and the anti-diet culture, Lucia's hybrid approach to coaching, why feeling your feelings can help you tune into your body, and so much more. If weight loss is a topic that you tackle with your clients, we know you are going to enjoy Lucia's fresh take on this topic.

Carolyn Williams is an author, dietitian, and award-winning food and health journalist based in Alabama. Like many of us, she is also a busy mom who knows how important it is to have some quick, healthy meal ideas on hand. She also loves to break down the latest news and trends when it comes to food, diet, and health, so we picked her brain on topics including how to build a successful business, how to hide veggies in your smoothies, and how we tend to normalize our health symptoms - especially when it comes to systemic inflammation. We also dispel some myths about meal prepping (hint: it doesn’t have to be that hard) and testing for food sensitivities and intolerances. Carolyn is full of great advice and actionable tips so you're going to want to take notes!

In this special episode of Health Coach Radio (with a live-online audience), our guest is Dr. Judith Boyce. Judith became a health coach after she spent a career as a doctor - after she spent a career as a nurse. This is because she saw health coaching as the way forward for doctors, nurses and the medical system in general. 

Dr. Judith has developed the Health Coaching in Medical Practice certification course which educates and trains coaches to go forth and conquer in the medical system. If that is the path you see yourself taking, listen closely to this episode and learn.

In our conversation with Dr. Boyce, we dig into topics such as how Judith got fed up with how medicine was being practiced, how the PHCI program applies to other countries (other than the USA), and why Dr. Boyce is the perfect person to learn from. 

We also dig into what type of person would be a good fit for this line of learning and coaching, what types of certifications employers are looking for, what versions of health coaches exist right now, and why doctors need health coaches’ help. Plus Dr. Judith gives concrete advice about how to get your foot in the door and work with, not against, the system to benefit both the client and the doctor. 

This is a super cool episode with Phil Wagner, a Biomechanics & Digital Health Expert and the Founder & CEO of Sparta Science.

The Sparta Movement Health Platform can analyze broken biomechanical chains in the human body just by analyzing a foot strike, jump, or balance. Then the app designs a workout program based on the feedback from the measurement device. Are you kidding me? How cool is that?

Impaired movement impacts more people than any other condition, yet most actionable insights lag behind other health barometers. Phil believes that movement health is the ability to move freely without pain, limitations, or uncontrolled movement. The definition is simple to understand. The complex systems that make us move are harder to fathom. So Phil is using software and data to create awareness.

This episode covers a wide range of topics, not just injuries (but that is covered as well). Phil shares his perspective on “no pain, no gain” and how we should be focussed on moving better and that we need to decouple the “suffering” from the outcome. Phil also does a great job of explaining what the muscular-skeletal system is and why it is important to understand.

If you're a movement, fitness, physiology, kinesiology, or biomechanics geek, you will love this fun and nerdy conversation about how you interact with the ground with Dr. Phil Wagner.

Our guest today is Michelle Leotta, a longtime friend and colleague and a business coach who supports practicing and aspiring health coaches through her enormous Facebook community, the Health Coach Power community, her podcast, the Health Coach Power podcast, and her coach business training platform, Healthy Profit University. 

Michelle's expertise and experience working with health coaches make her an invaluable resource for understanding the struggles and successes of this field. Because Michelle is in contact always with so many health coaches across so many platforms, she sees every day what struggles and successes folks are having and how that seems to evolve over time. 

During this episode, Michelle shares her journey from advertising to becoming a certified health coach and mentoring others. She also discusses common challenges for health coaches and the importance of action and revenue-focused activities. She emphasizes the value of diversifying your marketing beyond social media and also shares practical advice for starting and growing a health coaching business. 

This is a very frank conversation about what gets coaches stuck and how they can unstick themselves. We think you will enjoy this episode, with Michelle Leotta.

In this “10 Minute Teach” episode, Erin Power shares insights with all you new coaches, emphasizing the importance of nurturing your audience even before having a substantial following.

Drawing from her experience of establishing a successful online coaching business over the past 12 years, she introduces the concept of "pre-nurturing" as a crucial step in building a thriving coaching business.

In this episode, Erin stresses the significance of consistently reaching out to your audience through emails, posts, and other content, likening nurturing to bacon – all nurturing efforts, no matter how small, are beneficial. She reflects on her own challenges in prioritizing nurturing activities despite knowing their impact on business growth. Erin encourages new coaches to start nurturing early, regardless of their current audience size, to develop the skill of engaging and building relationships with potential clients.

This episode is such a good conversation with Monica Reinagel, a coach who is an absolute pro at nutrition and lifestyle behavior change. If you don't take pages and pages and pages of notes from this one, well, go back and replay it again from the beginning and take notes. You'll put a lot of what Monica shares into practice with your clients - right away.

Monica is a licensed board-certified nutritionist with a Master's of Science and Human Nutrition. She's the host of the Change Academy and Nutrition Diva Podcasts. She writes for medium.com, Scientific American, Food and Nutrition Magazine, and she's a frequent health expert guest on shows like The Today Show, CBS News, and NPRs Morning Edition.

During the conversation, Monica dives into the idea that people know what to do but they don’t know how to make it happen, and how she expanded her nutrition coaching to behavior change. Monica also shares with us the 5 Key Principals that a coach can use to ensure their clients are ready and able to achieve their goals. Monica gives some great examples of how we can make our coaching more effective and less complex.

She also emphasizes how us coaches need to balance the do’s with the don’ts, keeping our clients away from focusing on perfection, and focusing on the means - not the extremes. She is a boss. You are going to love this episode.

Have you been spinning your wheels with social media marketing? Well, in this episode, we talk to online marketing expert George Liu. George teaches fitness and wellness businesses how to leverage paid advertising in their marketing efforts. It all begins with crafting an irresistible offer and then paying to put it in front of the necessary (and correct) eyeballs.   If you have been curious about dipping your toe into paid ads, you are going to love this episode. 

During the episode, we get into topics such as how his childhood affected his life and fitness choices, how emotion drives people to buy, the role attention span plays in your ads, who to target and who is not in your market. We also dig into how marketing isn’t a soapbox for your agenda, how to pay (and how much to pay) to get in front of a thousand eyeballs, do images or videos work better, what affects your conversion rate, how to know how much to spend on ads, and also how to construct copy for an ad.  Most importantly, George explains what the heck an irresistible offer is. 

This may seem like tricky stuff and perhaps over your head - but stay focussed and you will learn some really valuable online marketing fundamentals and strategies. 

Dr. Gala Gorman has one of the most robust bios we've ever seen on Health Coach Radio, so let's see if we can scratch the surface in this episode. Dr. Gorman holds advanced degrees in human development, is a holistic life coach, minister, and published author of the Spiritual Approach series of books focused on practical spirituality.

As a student of Eastern and Western philosophy, she works to infuse a blend of the best of both worlds into her work and life. You will regularly hear Dr. Gorman say, “It’s the business of your life… and you’re the CEO.”

Dr. Gorman focuses on creating tools and techniques that make recovery primarily from addiction and traumatic life experiences, quick, easy, and maybe even fun. She takes a significantly different holistic approach in her work, whether she's dealing with someone in active addiction or well down the road to recovery.

Truly, be prepared to be awed and inspired by this wide-ranging conversation about stress, exercise, mental health, sleep and energy with Dr. Gala Gorman.

This episode is super important for all you coaches out there because our guest is Darrell Rogers from the Council of Holistic Health Educators. Darrell is an experienced Government Relations Director with a history of successfully implementing dynamic campaigns that promote and protect industries, organizations, and companies. He is skilled in government relations, policy creation, coalition management, and business development.

The Council of Holistic Health Educators protects and promotes holistic health professionals, just like us. They defeat legislation that restricts our community, and they lobby to pass laws protecting and growing the ability of our diverse profession to practice. They educate policymakers, build grassroots support, and train holistic health practitioners to become involved in the policy process and win. 

During this conversation, Darrell discusses the council's role in protecting and promoting holistic health professionals, advocating against restrictive legislation, and educating policymakers. He also highlights the importance of consumer education and the need to update outdated regulations in the nutrition and health coaching industry. Darrell also emphasizes the value of health coaches in providing education and resources, job opportunities in various industries, and the importance of supporting the Holistic Council.

This is an important conversation so make sure you bookmark this one so you can listen to it a few times. And while you’re at it, bookmark holisticcouncil.org too so you can critically stay on top of the legislation threatening and supporting health coaches.

Get ready to learn a lot about trademark law during this conversation with Maria Spear Ollis, a Nashville-based lawyer bringing peace of mind to coaches and thought leaders. 

If you've ever wondered how content can be protected during this current climate of content sharing, this is the episode for you. You don't have to work yourself up into a lather worrying about copywriting your material because we know that as health entrepreneurs, you already have enough on your plate, but it's always good to seek to understand how it works. 

In this conversation, Maria shares with us how having a registered copyright applies to our work as coaches, how to choose which content to protect, and what type of content is protectable. She also covers actionable topics such as how to find out if your content has been stolen, what coaches should have in place from the beginning, what a contract is for,   and how to use the TM and R symbols. 

Maria Spear Ollis brings some real clarity to the difference between liability waivers and contract documents. And Laura, Erin and Maria do a deep dive into when you need a disclaimer, for whom, and why they can be very important. And if you have been afraid to look into liability insurance, LLCs or partnerships, Maria has some specific advice on that. 

So, see what you take away from this pretty cool and interesting conversation about all the (maybe not so) intimidating legal stuff.

During the episode, Erin answers questions like "How can I do this when I'm not super high-tech and really don't want to be?" "How can I coach my client to start drinking less alcohol?" "Am I allowed to market myself to type 2 diabetics?" and a question about Erin’s own personal points of view on why it's so great to be a health coach today and what advice she gives herself if she could go back in time - and a whole lot more.

Our conversation today is with Hailey Rowe, a business coach for health coaches.  We can't stress the impact a business coach can have if you are a health coach operating at any level and feeling stuck.  Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level coach and have the resources to hire a business coach, seek one out who aligns with you and do it!  That's our advice anyways.  Hailey works with her clients on their mindset around sales and helps them to understand that their ideal client is out there, possibly even hunting for them!  During this episode, we discuss selling yourself on your offer first, how to make your offer free of friction for potential clients, what it means to be "good" at sales, what your discovery call should focus on, and so much more.  We understand that putting yourself out there can be difficult, so grab a pen and paper and settle in for this fantastic episode with Hailey Rowe.
