What Is a Health Coach

As part of the Life First Comprehensive Health package, each client receives three months of dedicated guidance from a Health Coach. Because the term “health coach” can feel vague, we want to clarify what the role involves and why this support is a valuable part of your journey.

What does a Health Coach actually do?

Health coaching might sound soft or non-specific, but at Life First it is evidence-based, structured and led by clinicians trained to help you turn results into action. Our coaches are dual-qualified dietitians and trained health coaches who work with you to build realistic habits that support your wellbeing.

Drawing on best-practice frameworks, health coaching is about empowering you to set goals and take ownership of your health. According to one national provider, health coaching supports improvement in physical, psychological, social and professional aspects of life and helps clients develop practical strategies to make meaningful change.

Support built for busy lives

Our Health Coaching program is designed with your schedule in mind. After your initial Life First assessment, you engage with your coach in ways that suit you. The support is flexible, personalised and tailored to your priorities.

Common areas of focus include:

• Sleep optimisation and stress management

• Body composition and metabolic health

• Nutrition review and food-pattern change

• Strength, movement and physical-activity planning

• Interpreting blood results and key health markers

• Habit formation, accountability and follow-through

  
  

What the Health Coaching process looks like

1. You begin with your assessment, identifying key health markers and lifestyle factors.

2. Your coach helps you define clear, actionable goals aligned with those findings.

3. Together you develop a tailored strategy, for example improving sleep, restructuring your eating pattern, increasing daily movement or interpreting your lab results.

4. You engage in regular check-ins, tracking progress, adjusting plans and building sustainable habits.

5. At the end of the three-month period you receive guidance on maintaining your gains and next steps for long-term health.

   
   

Why this matters?

Many standard check-ups focus on isolated readings such as cholesterol or blood pressure. A Health Coach helps you connect the dots, interpreting patterns, identifying behaviour drivers and translating medical data into everyday decisions. This lets you move from reactive to proactive care, supported by a plan you understand and can execute.
