Working with Doctors
"Integrating health coaching into primary care can significantly improve patients' outcomes"
Zest Health Coaching regularly works with doctors to provide comprehensive and patient-centered care.
​
In comparison to traditional patient care, health coaching has been found to:
-
significantly improve patients' physiological, behavioral and social outcomes,
-
significantly improve one or more behaviors of nutrition, physical activity, weight management or medication adherence,
-
improve glycaemic control and reduce glycated hemoglobin for patients with type 2 diabetes,
-
improve medication adherence,
-
assist with weight loss and increase the levels of motivation and personal satisfaction,
-
be an effective strategy to promote reductions in energy intake, body weight and body mass index, and
-
improve physical activity.

By working together, doctors and health coaches can create a more holistic and patient-centered approach to healthcare, promoting better outcomes and empowering patients to take charge of their health and well-being.
