One-page Summary All Research How Coaching Works video The Science of Coaching Testimonials After careful research, I learned about Wellcoaches, and it was love at first sight. At first, I felt anxious about committing to such a big thing whilst studying, but somehow I felt that it was the right thing to do. To be precise, I asked a ton of silly questions in the emails, and all the answers were really clear, well-structured, and empathetic. I was shocked by the way Wellcoaches communicated with me via email, as I never felt more heard and understood from just an email. Those answers alleviated my confusion and worry and assured me that I am on the right path. And yes, I guessed right - it was amazing. It was quite challenging and tough, but I enjoyed every bit of it, and I truly mean it. I learned many new things and skills that aren't just related to coaching. Those skills are immensely helpful in my day-to-day life as well. I learned to connect, understand, and appreciate people in a way I didn't before. It's worth mentioning that all the people at or around Wellcoaches that I've talked to during my journey were nothing but positive, kind, and compassionate. I think Wellcoaches just radiates positive energy, and like a magnet, attracts positive and kind people to it. I am truly grateful for this journey! And looking forward to the upcoming challenges!

Coaching Clients to a Healthy Weight: Clearing a Path to Healthier Lives in Diet Culture with Greg Hottinger  and Michael Scholtz CEUs:  Wellcoaches 9, ACSM 9, NBHWC 9, NCHEC 9 ADD TO CART  $250 There are many mixed messages to consider when coaching clients toward their weight loss goal. There is pressure from society to achieve a specific body weight or shape. And when a client’s weight is considered a health risk there is also pressure from the healthcare field. As a result, many overweight clients have unrealistic expectations and low self-acceptance and feel defeated by efforts to lose weight.   And, for those who are overweight but active and healthy, research shows that losing as little as 5% of body weight can make a positive health difference, including the prevention of Type II diabetes.   Navigating this world of confusing information and often conflicting standards and expectations is difficult. With the increasing prevalence of our population dealing with issues related to overweight and obesity, coaches need to be appropriately skilled to assist their clients in working toward a healthier life. Participation in this course will provide coaches with: An understanding of the evidence of how people lose weight An in-depth look at seven key obstacles to weight loss An exploration of dozens of practical tools designed to help your clients approach weight loss or weight maintenance in a compassionate way Motivational Interviewing-Applying Evidence-based Strategies for Positive Behavior Change and Growth with Darlene Trandel CEUs: Wellcoaches 10, NBHWC 10, ACSM 10, NCHEC 10 ADD TO CART  $250 This class will guide participants through an in-depth sequence of learning activities to enhance their knowledge, skills, and application of Motivational Interviewing and add to their coaching competencies.  Using the newly released, entirely rewritten 4th edition by William Miller and Stephen Rollnick , the class incorporates the changes reflected in this text and updates the thinking about what creates behavior change over longer growth spans.  The fourth edition has an increased emphasis on growth, in addition to change, and introduces new concepts, skills, and upgraded and simplified terminology introduced in the classes. Participants will: Explore the different ways to support behavior change included in the Motivational interviewing four "tasks" (previously called processes): Engaging, Guiding, Evoking, and Planning. Expand their skills in applying the key principles and core skills of MI. Discuss sharing information with your patients/clients using coaching competencies. Deepen and vary reflective listening skills, eliciting change talk and responding effectively to sustain talk, discord, and change talk. Develop additional skills for helping clients/patients to explore and resolve their ambivalence about health behavior change. Apply and practice MI skills and strategies designed to evoke motivation for change. Adapt the MI method and spirit to best fit participants’ current practice setting. GLP-1 Medications : Coaching Considerations When Supporting Clients Through a Weight-Loss Process with Greg Hottinger  and Michael Scholtz CEUs:  Wellcoaches 6, ACSM 6, NBHWC 6 ADD TO CART $200 GLP-1 meds are currently the most popular weight loss tool on the market and coaches need to be well informed to be helpful. This multi-week course will explore GLP-1 medications, their efficacy, the conc erns, personal biases, and how best to support your clients who are considering using or currently taking these medications. This course will include an overview of the most popular medications on the market right now. In this series, you will: * Understand and analyze the current biases coaches may have related to GLP-1 meds. * Evaluate and understand the types of GLP-1 meds, how they work, the data, the side-effects, and long-term projections. * Understand the physiological effects of GLP-1 meds and be able to evaluate and apply behavior change knowledge that will best support the client. * Apply relevant coaching skills in role-play scenarios to engage with the client in specific situations relevant to GLP-1 medications.

  • Celebrating our Wellcoaches' Community success at LM2025

    Left to right, Simon Matthews, Susan Benigas, and Dean Ornish Felicitations to the 2025 ACLM Fellows ! A special hurrah to the Wellcoaches community members amongst them!: Qadira Ali, MD, MPH, DipABLM, FACLM , Deborah Chielli, MSN, APRN, AGNP-C, FACLM , Amy Comander, MD, DipABLM, FACLM, MSCP , Sarah-Ann Keyes, EdD, PA-C, DipACLM, FACLM , Simran Malhotra, MD, DipABLM, CHWC, FACLM , and Shanna Mello, EdD, MS, DipACLM, FACLM . Congratulations to UNT Health Fort Worth, Debbie Gillespie , & Misti Zablosky !  Wellcoaches is proud to be their partner and provide the coaching component for their Master of Science in Lifestyle Health Sciences & Coaching  degree program. At LM2025 they were awarded ACLM’s Special Recognition Award in the Graduate Category.  Presenting the award on behalf of the Awards Committee, Sami Bég said, “Drs. Zablosky and Gillespie showed remarkable vision in bringing lifestyle medicine into the academic setting with this first-of-its-kind program. Their leadership is playing a pivotal role in advancing lifestyle medicine as the future of healthcare and educating the next generation of professionals.” Margaret Moore and Joe Sage At his Candid Medical practice in Oregon, Wellcoach  Joe Sage  (Dr. Joe) provides individual coaching and lifestyle medicine.  He also uses his Wellcoach training and physician leadership training to help healthcare teams with workplace well-being.  At LM2025 he shared his wisdom regarding the latter in his LM2025 presentation, “Longevity and Legacy: How to Practice Medicine without Burnout.” Sage described how “work culture, work practices, and personal resilience interact as a framework for professional fulfillment.”   Conference attendees can access his presentation’s slides through the conference’s website.  ( Other Wellcoaches who have also made their presentation slides available include Ziya Altug & Wendy Farnen-Price, Melissa Reznar, Simon Matthews, Kara Tibbe, and Michelle Crawford. Plus, you can see the slides for Margaret’s “Coaching is Healthcare: Next steps for Medical Practices.”)   You’ll be able to learn more about Dr. Joe on an upcoming Wellcoaches Inside podcast episode! Rani Polak and Margaret Moore   Also at LM2025 were poster presentations by several Wellcoaches, and we have been given permission to share the posters with you.  Along with colleagues from Sheba Medical Center, our faculty person Rani Polak  conducted a study on “ Coaching for individuals with end stage lung disease ” – both coaching to help prepare for lung transplantation, and coaching to help improve outcomes afterwards. Their 24-month RCT compared individuals who participated in a Health Coaching Telemedicine Program with a control group who was simply given lifestyle-related reading material.     Wellcoach Sylvia K. Perry, DNP  and Elizabeth Abraham, RN  shared their poster presentation  on a study they conducted about the impacts of a lifestyle medicine program – PAVING the Path to Wellness - on healthcare workers’ well-being.  The study looked at the program’s impact on two cohorts, one of clinical research staff and one of advanced practice providers.  PAVING the Path  was originally developed by Wellcoach alum Beth Frates, MD  and has been supported by Amy Comander, MD , Michelle Tollefson, MD , and Valeria Tivnan .  Beth originally developed PAVING to use with stroke survivors, Amy adapted it to use with breast cancer survivors, and Sylvia and Elizabeth adapted it to use in the workplace.
