Legal Documents That Build Your Relationships With Cory Sterling Jul 17, 2024

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.

In this special episode of Health Coach Radio (with a live-online audience), our guest is Dr. Judith Boyce.

If that is the path you see yourself taking, listen closely to this episode and learn. In our conversation with Dr. Judith, we dig into topics such as how she got fed up with how medicine was being practiced, how the PHCI program applies to other countries (other than the USA), and why Dr. Judith is the perfect person to learn from.

Increasing Health Span Not Just Lifespan with Chris Mirabile Jul 26, 2023

Welcome to Health Coach Radio, the podcast that dives deep into the world of health and fitness coaching, brought to you by Primal Health Coach Institute, founded by the renowned Mark Sisson.

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.

How to Iterate and Reiterate with Chris Wilson Jul 19, 2023

Chris Wilson is the VP of content and the head strength coach at Critical Bench, possibly one of the first and most tenured online fitness video repositories which has been going strong since 1999. It is wild (especially for us oldtimers) to consider that online fitness content's been around for a quarter of a century and Critical Bench is a great example of playing the long game in this industry, which is a topic Erin and Lara dig into. At the end of this episode, Chris get’s into a really remarkable idea about functional aging so make sure to listen all the way through! They also cover how the fitness industry has changed in the last 30 years. Chris walks us through how they iterated not just their sales pages and marketing but their entire programs. One of the most important points of this conversation is how long and how many iterations (or repackaging and rethinking) it takes to create a successful business or product. We are certain you are going to enjoy this conversation with an online fitness veteran, Chris Wilson.

Take Charge of Your Hearing, Emotions & Mood with Wayne Altman Jul 12, 2023

This is a super fun and very specific episode with Wayne Altman, a military veteran who suffered hearing damage from his time in service. In dealing with chronic debilitating tinnitus, Wayne discovered the healing properties of sound frequencies. Now he now owns and runs a company called Melody Clouds that offers subscription-based binaural beats and Solfeggio frequency healing soundtracks. Wayne shares with us his story of coming from his background in the army (serving in Desert Storm) to being a complete convert to the healing power of audio. He also gets into how he was convinced that audio was actually the solution for him and not just a placebo. Wayne describes Tinnitus as a manifestation of nerve damage in your ears. Sometimes it is simply an annoying condition but it can also be quite debilitating and cause fatigue, stress, sleep problems, trouble concentrating, memory problems, depression, anxiety and irritability, headaches, problems with work and family life, and even suicide. So you can see how finding a solution such as binaural beats can be a lifesaver. It's a super interesting conversation about health, healing, the power of music/sound and business development. Wayne is really fun to talk with and listen to and he will give all you health coaches out there yet another tool to keep in your toolbox that can help your clients in profound ways.

Find Your Entrepreneurial Archetype with Christina Frei Jul 05, 2023

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.

Do the Work & Make the Mistakes with Dr. Benjamin Ritter Jun 28, 2023

Dr. Benjamin Ritter is a leadership and career coach, leadership and development director, values geek, international speaker, podcaster, author, mentor, and passionate about guiding others in finding, creating, and sustaining a career they love. During his time as a healthcare executive and side-hustling entrepreneur, he was overworked and underutilized, and despite his professional success, he didn't feel successful. After much introspection, he pivoted professionally and launched himself into the field of leadership development and personal empowerment. The culmination of these events and his previous personal, professional and educational experiences led him to create Live for Yourself Consulting, a coaching consulting company that is focused on leading and empowering entrepreneurs - and entrepreneurs that feel overwhelmed, overworked, or underutilized - so they can create a career that they love. Among many other things, Ben defined for us his three Cs of self-leadership: clarity, confidence and control. He also shares with us how he keeps his clients going when the going gets tough. He encourages health coaches to look at their first year(s) the same way you would look at any entry-level job where you need to put in the time and do the work. Finally, he emphasizes that everything is easier when you get specific and when you charge what you are worth! We know you can't wait to learn more, to apply to your coaching relationships with clients and yourself. Enjoy!

The Building Blocks for Vibrant Health with Gala Gorman Jun 21, 2023

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.

Build the Skills of a Compassionate Coach with Diana Bishop Jun 14, 2023

Diana Bishop (with her incredible wisdom) is back on the podcast to share her story with you practicing health coaches who want to understand how to best support your clients in a way that is nurturing, supportive, affirming, and client-led. We consider Diana to be a health coaching industry expert, and we are sure you will get as much out of this conversation as we did. Diana Bishop specializes in how coaching can be used effectively in a corporate wellness setting - and now private practice. In this episode, she shares with us what she is calling post-pandemic reality and what we can do about this new type of collective/societal trauma. Make sure you are ready to take notes on the 10 questions Diana has for making sure you are aware, as a coach, of how to best present yourself to clients with trauma.

If your office is like ours, it is decorated with post-It notes featuring some of Diana's nuggets of wisdom, so take good notes here. There's a lot to learn.

Instruct, Motivate, and Entertain with Mason Bendewald May 24, 2023

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.

Understanding Functional Therapeutic Diets with Martha Tettenborn May 17, 2023

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.

Start the Easy Way (then Grow) with Ethan Schiff May 10, 2023

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!

The Body is a System (not Isolated Parts) with Phil Wagner, M.D. May 03, 2023

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.

The Value of Real-World Education with Oliver Wood Apr 26, 2023

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.

Being Intentional and Authentic with Sarah Hagstrom Apr 12, 2023

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.

Recovering Health Through Diet with Unique Hammond Feb 22, 2023

Unique Hammond is a Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, an Integrative Health Coach, Bean Protocol Specialist, and the Author of Your Tastebuds are A**holes. Her approach to health coaching came after years of feeling unwell. She eventually healed herself using food and respecting her body. After years and years of struggle with Crohn’s and other health issues, Unique came across the Bean Protocol. With nothing else to lose, she gave it a try - with astounding results. The soluble fibre in beans, it turns out, can do things that some people might call magical. In this episode, Erin and Laura talk beans with the bean queen herself. They also dive into topics such as how it took a drastic medical diagnosis to encourage Unique to “go home,” and how living out of touch with her body actually helped her develop her coaching business. They also cover how a food (beans) which are considered inflammatory can help to heal your body, how to properly prepare beans, and how fibre has been unfairly demonized in the past. Unique also explains how she went from coaching clients (for free) on evenings and weekends - because she loved it and wanted to help - to running a thriving coaching business. One of her biggest barriers was leaving the successful career that she had already built, which is a story both Erin and Laura (and maybe you too) identify with.

Legal Documents That Build Your Relationships with Cory Sterling Jan 11, 2023

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.

Find Good Clients & Deliver Amazing Results with Yuri Elkaim Nov 23, 2022

Today’s guest is Yuri Elkaim a business coach for health professionals who want to scale their coaching business. Yuri says that his superpower is being able to simplify the complex world of health and reduce your confusion with clear, actionable, and science-backed advice that cuts through the nonsense. Yuri believes that new health coaches and entrepreneurs should do three things in order: create an impactful product that gets results, use paid advertising to get clients in the door and get results for them, and then ride the wave of all your organic traffic flow. Building your business from scratch with organic (aka accidental) marketing efforts can work but it takes ages. Paid traffic gets you found more quickly than organic. Our conversation with Yuri covers topics like how you get your first clients, how social media really works, how to go from a side hustle to a business, what products deserve paid ads for, and how webinars filter out the uncommitted clients. Yuri also shares with us how to value commitment over conversion, when to become a social media influencer, how to price your products and services, why you should learn to do your own ads, and then some real specifics on how to actually deliver your products. Plus, as a bonus, he teaches the four things you need to do to reach a million dollars so stick around right to the end!
