Health Coach Radio: Recent Episodes
Primal Health Coach Institute
Conversations with some of the most successful entrepreneurs in health and wellness who are shining examples of how to make it in this business by being both a great coach and great entrepreneur.
Episode Summary
In this wide-ranging and deeply honest conversation, Erin Power welcomes back business and health coach Michelle Leotta to explore how the health coaching industry — and the health consumer — has fundamentally changed since their last conversation in August 2023. Michelle shares why the past year felt like a turning point for online businesses, what she observed in her client data, and how rising overwhelm, automation fatigue, and AI distrust are reshaping buying behavior.
Michelle walks listeners through her decision to radically simplify her business model, shift away from heavy automation, and return to more personal, manual, and human-to-human coaching experiences. Together, Erin and Michelle unpack what this means for health coaches at every stage — from brand-new practitioners to seasoned business owners — and why depth, flexibility, and real relationships are outperforming funnels, long sales pages, and over-scaled systems.
This episode also dives into powerful messaging shifts, the difference between health and wellness, and how coaches can move from being seen as a "nice-to-have" to a true "must-have" by focusing on what clients actually want their health for.
If you've felt burned out by tech, confused by declining engagement, or curious about how to build a simpler, more profitable, and more human coaching business — this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Key Themes and Takeaways
The Health Consumer Has Changed
Michelle explains that health coaches are seeing lower returns from the same strategies that once worked — not because coaching is less valuable, but because consumers are overwhelmed, confused, and deeply fatigued by automation, bots, and AI-driven interactions.
Simplicity Is the New Advantage
By stripping away excess tools, funnels, and tech platforms, Michelle found that both her profitability and quality of life improved. Fewer systems meant fewer problems — and more meaningful work.
Manual Does Not Mean Unscalable
The episode challenges the belief that one-on-one or manual processes automatically limit growth. Michelle introduces the idea of hybrid and convertible programs that naturally evolve from individual clients into group containers — without sacrificing depth or personalization.
People Want Choice and Flexibility
Clients don't want rigid structures. Some love groups, others prefer private support. The most effective programs offer multiple touchpoints so clients can engage in ways that fit their lives.
Health Is a Gateway — Wellness Is the Destination
Rather than selling symptom reduction alone, Michelle encourages coaches to message around what health enables: dating again, starting new hobbies, changing careers, or reclaiming confidence and energy.
Conversations Convert Better Than Pages
Long sales pages and funnels are losing effectiveness. Real conversations — emails, DMs, discovery calls — create trust, clarity, and higher commitment.
Coaching Is About Being Human
At its core, coaching succeeds when clients feel seen, supported, and accountable. Human connection is the differentiator that technology cannot replace.

Technology is advancing rapidly in the world of health and longevity — from wearables and peptides to GLP-1 medications and AI-driven diagnostics. But what if the most powerful intervention isn't technology at all? In this episode, Erin Power explores a surprising insight from tech entrepreneur and longevity experimenter Bryan Johnson. Despite spending millions of dollars on cutting-edge health interventions, Johnson publicly shared that the single most impactful factor in improving his health wasn't a supplement, device, or medical procedure — it was behavior change. Erin breaks down why this matters for health coaches and why the future of healthcare will require experts who understand human behavior, motivation, and habit formation. While technology can deliver information and diagnostics, sustainable health outcomes depend on implementation — and that's where coaching becomes indispensable. If you're a health coach wondering where you fit in a rapidly evolving health-tech world, this episode will reframe your role and highlight why your work is more essential than ever. Episode Overview 0:00 – The Longevity Experiment That Changed the Conversation Erin introduces the work of Bryan Johnson and explains why his multimillion-dollar longevity experiment highlights the power of behavior change. 01:57 – The True Role of a Health Coach Health coaches are not simply accountability partners — they are specialists in applied behavior change and implementation. 03:20 – Why the Market Undervalues Behavior Change Behavior change is slow, unflashy, and difficult to monetize, which is why the health industry often prioritizes products and interventions instead. 05:40 – Technology vs. Human Coaching Tools like wearables, GLP-1 medications, and tracking apps still rely on human behavior to produce lasting outcomes. 07:00 – Why Human-to-Human Coaching Still Matters Erin shares how meaningful conversations with clients often drive more progress than tracking endless biometric data. 09:13 – The Future of Health Coaching As healthcare becomes more technologically advanced, the demand for experts in motivation, habit formation, and behavior architecture will only increase. Key Concepts in This Episode Behavior Change Is the Master Lever While supplements, devices, and medical procedures can influence health outcomes, long-term transformation happens through consistent behavioral patterns. Information Is Not the Problem Modern healthcare provides abundant data and knowledge. The real challenge is helping individuals implement and sustain meaningful changes. Coaching Bridges the Gap Between Knowledge and Action Health coaches help clients translate information into real-world habits through motivational interviewing, identity shifts, and values-driven goal setting. Technology Needs Human Integration Wearables, medications, and digital tools can support health improvements — but without behavior change, they rarely produce sustainable results. The Growing Value of Coaching As longevity science and health technology evolve, professionals who understand behavior architecture and human motivation will become increasingly essential.

In this guest episode, Erin Power sits down with Shanna, founder of ADHD Coaching and author of Invisible ADHD, to unpack why ADHD in women is often missed, what it feels like to live undiagnosed, and what support can look like when coaching is built specifically for ADHD brains.
They talk about the emotional side of ADHD, decision paralysis, misdiagnosis, and why Shanna's coaching model is intentionally high-touch and directive: doing tasks together, practicing skills in real time, and using accountability to create momentum.

Key Concepts in This Episode
Invisible ADHD in Women
Shanna explains that many women's ADHD symptoms are internal and emotional, which can keep them under the radar and lead to mislabeling as anxiety or depression.
Compartmentalization and Emotional Flooding
A key framework in the episode is the inability to compartmentalize, which can make emotions, tasks, and decisions feel like they all hit at once.
Decision Paralysis
Shanna describes how too many open "paths" in the mind can make it hard to choose, follow through, and feel settled after decisions.
Why ADHD Is Not a Superpower
Shanna challenges the trend of calling ADHD a superpower, arguing it can make people feel worse or delay them from learning practical management skills.
Directive, High-Touch Coaching
Instead of only asking insight-based questions, Shanna's coaching model focuses on real-time action: doing tasks together, role-playing conversations, and making plans that are individualized and highly supported.
Accountability and Skill Practice
Progress is built through repetition and simple weekly practice. Accountability is positioned as essential, not optional.
Keep It Simple
Tools like short to-do lists and habit "piggybacking" are discussed as practical ways to reduce overwhelm and increase follow-through.

Ready to turn your passion for health into lasting impact?
Health Coach Radio delivers honest conversations, expert insight, and practical guidance to help health coaches support clients ethically, effectively, and with confidence.
Is the era of endless biohacking, tracking, and hyper-optimization finally coming to an end?
In this thought-provoking solo episode, Erin Power explores a cultural shift happening inside the wellness industry. For years, wellness culture promoted the belief that with enough gadgets, supplements, protocols, and data tracking we could essentially engineer our way to perfect health.
But something is changing.
Many people are now experiencing wellness overwhelm — fatigue from constant self-optimization, conflicting health advice, and the pressure to execute perfect routines.
Erin breaks down why this shift matters for health coaches and how it may signal the beginning of a more mature, sustainable era of health. Instead of chasing trends and miracle protocols, people are increasingly seeking simplicity, sustainability, and real behavior change.
For health coaches, this moment may represent a powerful opportunity to return to what has always worked: helping people build quiet, consistent habits that support long-term wellbeing.
Episode Overview
0:00 The End of the Optimization Era Erin introduces the idea of the "death of wellness optimism," the belief that health can be perfectly engineered through constant optimization, tracking, and technology.
3:52 From Wellness Optimism to Wellness Overwhelm Why people are burning out from endless metrics, gadgets, and conflicting health advice — and why many clients are now craving simpler and more sustainable approaches.
6:27 The Problem with Performative Wellness Cold plunges, biohacking gadgets, and Instagram-ready wellness routines may look impressive, but the most effective health behaviors remain the simplest ones.
13:28 The Rise of "Tragic Optimism" Drawing from Viktor Frankl's philosophy, Erin explains why accepting life's challenges — rather than trying to control everything — may lead to a healthier and more realistic approach to wellness.
17:22 What This Means for Health Coaches As clients move away from extreme optimization, coaches have an opportunity to focus on what truly matters: behavior change, sustainable habits, and long-term health practices.
Key Ideas in This Episode
Wellness Overwhelm
Many consumers are experiencing burnout from:
• Tracking every metric
• Constant health trends
• Complex supplement protocols
• Information overload
People are increasingly asking a simple question:
What if I just lived in my body instead of trying to optimize every variable?
Performative Wellness vs. Real Health
Many modern wellness trends are visually impressive but not necessarily impactful.
Examples include:
• Cold plunges
• Red light therapy
• Vibration plates
• Expensive supplement stacks
Meanwhile, the foundational habits that truly support health are far less glamorous:
• Sleep
• Strength training
• Whole, unprocessed foods
• Sunlight exposure
• Movement
• Social connection
• Stress regulation
These "boring basics" remain the most reliable drivers of health outcomes.
The Shift Toward Quiet Consistency
Instead of intense, unsustainable routines, the next era of wellness may focus on quiet consistency.
This includes:
• Sustainable daily habits
• Moderate effort over extreme protocols
• Long-term behavior change
• Listening to the body rather than obsessing over data
Consistency may not be flashy, but it is durable — and durability wins in the long game of health.
Tragic Optimism and Realistic Wellness
Borrowing from Viktor Frankl's philosophy of tragic optimism, Erin highlights an important truth:
Life inevitably includes struggle, uncertainty, and loss.
Trying to "biohack" our way out of life's challenges is unrealistic.
A healthier mindset may involve:
• Accepting imperfection
• Embracing emotional complexity
• Pursuing health while acknowledging life's realities
This creates a more mature and grounded approach to wellbeing.
The Opportunity for Health Coaches
As wellness culture evolves, the role of the health coach may become even more valuable.
Rather than acting as optimization technicians, coaches may increasingly serve as:
• Behavior change specialists
• Guides for sustainable lifestyle habits
• Partners in long-term health transformation
Clients aren't necessarily looking for more dashboards or data.
They are looking for clarity, simplicity, and freedom.
And that is exactly where coaching shines.
Final Takeaway
The death of wellness optimism is not the end of health.
It may simply mark the end of the fantasy that we can control everything.
What replaces it is something quieter and more sustainable:
Consistency
Simplicity
Self-trust
And a deeper understanding of what it means to live well in a human body.

Why does the menopause transition feel so overwhelming for modern women — and why are so many clients stuck in information overload?
In this episode of Health Coach Radio, Erin Power sits down with Bree Rudner, a health coach specializing in women in their 40s and 50s and a coach on Dr. Mindy Pelz's team.
Bree shares her personal journey from an autoimmune diagnosis in her late 30s to building a coaching practice rooted in physical foundations, mental well-being, and simplicity. Together, Erin and Bree explore why confusion has become one of the biggest barriers to progress — and how health coaches can create relief by removing decision fatigue and focusing on what actually works.
What This Conversation Covers
From autoimmune diagnosis to coaching
Bree recounts navigating the low-fat era, developing rheumatoid arthritis, and ultimately reclaiming her health through nutrition and lifestyle changes. When others began asking how she did it, coaching became the natural next step.
Quick wins build trust
Bree explains why she starts with the physical body, especially blood sugar regulation. Protein is her go-to "quiet win" because it increases satiety, reduces cravings, and gives clients fast, tangible results.
Stress is the elephant in the room
Many women resist admitting they're stressed, believing they have it handled. Bree breaks down how the "superwoman" mindset, constant rushing, and multiple roles quietly deplete women during midlife.
Confusion is the modern barrier
Today's clients aren't lacking information — they're drowning in it. Bree shares why health coaches provide massive value by offering a structured, personalized framework that allows clients to tune out the noise.
Fasting as decision relief
Working with Dr. Mindy Pelz reinforced how fasting can be helpful not just metabolically, but psychologically. Removing constant food decisions creates mental space and lowers stress for many women.
Midlife and the culture clash
Women in menopause were shaped by the thin ideal of the 1990s, which conflicts with the current need for protein, strength training, and muscle preservation. This disconnect creates frustration and resistance during the transition.
Testing as validation
Bree discusses how functional testing like the DUTCH test helps clients feel seen and validated when traditional labs look "normal" despite persistent symptoms.

The 2026 Dietary Guidelines for Americans have sparked intense debate across the health and wellness world. In this solo episode, Erin Power breaks through the noise to offer a grounded, professional, and unbiased perspective on what these updated guidelines actually mean for health coaches and their clients.
Rather than celebrating or criticizing the guidelines, Erin walks listeners through what has genuinely shifted, what remains the same, and why this moment matters more philosophically than practically. She explains why population level nutrition guidance rarely changes individual behavior, how the new emphasis on metabolic health and protein reflects a broader cultural inflection point, and why none of this changes the core role of the health coach.
This episode is a call for nuance, professionalism, and restraint. If you've felt pulled into polarized online arguments about nutrition policy or unsure how to discuss the new guidelines with clients, this conversation will help you stay grounded, client led, and firmly within scope.

In this solo, unscripted episode of Health Coach Radio, Erin Power dives into a deceptively simple — yet incredibly powerful — concept for health coaches: symptomatology. While the word itself may sound clinical or dry, Erin reframes symptomatology as a practical, ethical, and client-centered tool that fits squarely within a health coach's scope of practice.
This episode explores how health coaches can work skillfully with client-reported symptoms without diagnosing, treating, or crossing professional boundaries. Erin explains how symptom self-assessments can support awareness, pattern recognition, behavior change, and more productive conversations between coaches and clients.
If you've ever felt unsure about how to discuss symptoms without "playing doctor," or you want a clearer, more confident way to guide clients using the information they already bring to the table — this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and practical direction.

Key Concepts in This Episode
What Symptomatology Is (and Is Not)
Symptomatology refers to the collection and observation of symptoms as reported by the client — without interpretation, diagnosis, or medical judgment. It allows coaches to stay firmly within scope while still working meaningfully with real client experiences.
Staying Within Scope of Practice
Health coaches are not diagnosticians. Erin explains how symptom tracking and self-assessment tools help coaches guide reflection and lifestyle change without making medical claims or recommendations.
Symptoms as Feedback, Not Problems to Fix
Rather than treating symptoms as enemies to eliminate, this episode reframes them as useful signals that can inform behavior, habits, and self-awareness.
Client Language Matters
Using the client's own words — instead of clinical labels — strengthens trust, clarity, and collaboration. Symptomatology keeps the coaching relationship grounded in the client's lived experience.
From Confusion to Clarity
When used correctly, symptom self-assessments reduce overwhelm and help clients see patterns over time, making the coaching process feel more tangible and actionable.
Who This Episode Is For
• Health coaches worried about scope-of-practice boundaries • Coaches who want clearer language around symptoms • Practitioners seeking simple, ethical coaching tools • New and experienced coaches alike

This is not a diet debate. In this episode of Health Coach Radio, Erin Power sits down with Mollie Engelhart, a former vegan icon and celebrated Los Angeles restaurateur whose identity and livelihood were built on plant-based ideology. Today, Mollie is a regenerative farmer and cattle rancher in Texas. That transition cost her millions of dollars, professional relationships, and public approval — and she would still do it again. This conversation explores what happens when evidence and lived experience challenge deeply held beliefs, especially when those beliefs are tied to morality, identity, and income. What This Conversation Covers Changing your mind publicly Mollie shares the hardest version of change: shifting beliefs when you are financially dependent on being right. Her move away from veganism began with curiosity about soil health and regenerative agriculture and led to a deeper understanding of food systems and responsibility. The myth of "harmless" food Plant-based food is often framed as bloodless or impact-free. Mollie explains why all agriculture involves death and disruption, whether through fertilizers, tilling, harvesting, or monocropping. The difference is whether that impact supports regeneration or industrial extraction. Vegan ethics vs. ecological reality Mollie honors the ethical motivations behind veganism while explaining why simplified moral frameworks break down when viewed at the ecosystem level, particularly when influenced by industrial interests. From rescue to stewardship Humans are meant to be active stewards (Keystone species), not isolated observers, of nature. We must stop treating the symptoms of a broken system and re-engage with the natural order. Why soil changes everything Mollie's central message is clear: the soil is not depleted, it is biologically dead. She explains why microbes are essential for nutrient availability, how modern food contributes to metabolic dysfunction, and why human health is inseparable from soil health. The small farm diet Rather than rigid food labels, Mollie advocates for a small farm diet: local, seasonal, human-scaled, and intentionally inconvenient. Convenience, she argues, has quietly replaced resilience.

In this solo episode, Erin Power walks through the top obstacles health coaches report facing on their path to success. Drawing from an end-of-year survey conducted with students and graduates of Primal Health Coach Institute, Erin breaks down why these challenges persist, why they are completely solvable, and how coaches can begin addressing them right now.
The three most common obstacles identified were: finding paying clients, confidence in marketing and business development, and navigating technology. Erin reframes each of these as learnable skills rather than fixed limitations.

2:45 Scope of practice and industry responsibility
5:10 The survey question: biggest obstacles to coaching success
6:10 Top three obstacles identified
8:00 Obstacle #1: Finding paying clients
11:10 Why there are more than enough clients
14:30 Clients find you when you put yourself out there

23:40 Obstacle #3: Technology
26:00 Simple tech stack for getting started
30:30 Final encouragement and closing thoughts (episode ends ~34:41)
Key Concepts in This Episode
Finding Paying Clients Erin emphasizes that there are far more potential clients than any one coach could ever serve. The challenge is not demand, but visibility. Clients must be able to find you and understand what you offer.
Marketing Builds Confidence Confidence does not come before action. It is earned through repetition, experimentation, and being willing to publish imperfect work.
Low Stakes, High Return Early marketing efforts often reach very few people, which actually lowers the risk. This gives coaches room to practice and improve.
Technology as a Skillset Booking links, websites, payment processors, and forms are framed as accessible tools designed for beginners. Most platforms offer help and support for non-technical users.
Customer Journey Awareness Erin encourages coaches to think like consumers themselves, using their own experiences as guides to create smooth, intuitive client experiences.

Health Coach Radio offers real conversations and practical guidance for health coaches at every stage. Hosted by Erin Power and powered by Primal Health Coach Institute, the show supports coaches in building sustainable, ethical, and impactful practices.
What actually creates confidence? Not hype. Not motivation. Not mindset quotes. In this episode of Health Coach Radio, Erin Power sits down with Jeff LoVecchio, former professional hockey player, founder of Give More Training (GMT) and Give More Advising (GMA), and co-host of the Hockey Think Tank podcast (2M+ downloads).
Jeff has trained more than 3,500 youth athletes across five locations and works with elite performers at every level. But this conversation goes far beyond hockey. This is a grounded, practical discussion about how confidence is earned through daily action, why resilience is a skill you train, how overthinking keeps people stuck, and why the unglamorous fundamentals are what actually produce results in sport, health, business, and life.
If you coach humans who struggle with consistency, self-trust, or follow-through, this episode delivers powerful insight you can apply immediately.
What You'll Learn in This Episode
Confidence is built through proof, not encouragement. Jeff shares how a major injury at 17 forced him into weight training and how measurable progress created unshakable confidence. Not because someone believed in him, but because his actions gave him evidence.
Resilience is trained, not inherited. From getting cut at age 12 to navigating 14 concussions, Jeff explains the mindset shift most people miss: you cannot control what happens, but you always control your response.
Why overthinking kills momentum: Fixating on long-term outcomes without acting on the next step leads to fear and paralysis. Jeff's "rocking chair" metaphor perfectly captures why movement without action gets people nowhere.
The hidden cost of early specialization: Youth athletes may look skilled early, but many lack basic movement capacity and adaptability. Jeff explains why multi-sport exposure builds better athletes and more resilient humans.
The fundamentals win every time. Warm-ups, breathing, recovery, and consistency may be boring, but they are non-negotiable. The people who respect the process are the ones who get results.
Self-talk shapes behavior. Your internal narrative drives daily decisions. Strengthen identity and self-trust, and actions naturally align. This insight maps directly to behavior-change coaching and habit formation.

In this unscripted solo episode, Erin Power shares her thoughts, feelings, and predictions for the health coaching industry in 2026. She reflects on what she's seeing as a practicing health coach and health coach educator, and what those shifts may mean for coaches who are building their businesses.
Erin's core prediction: a large segment of the health consumer will become increasingly fatigued by constant marketing and quick-fix promises, and will start looking for something more real, more trusted, and more human.
She breaks down how she's responding in her own business: doubling down on trust-building, delivering value, long-form content (podcasts and YouTube), and more live human connection, while still acknowledging that low-ticket, influencer-style models may continue to work for part of the market.
Episode Overview
0:00 Intro + why Erin is thinking about health coaching in 2026
1:42 Erin's main prediction for 2026
4:20 Consumer fatigue: constant ads, hooks, and marketing everywhere
7:05 "Miracle hopping" and why Erin doesn't want to play in the miracle market
10:06 Choosing who you want to work with (and who you don't)
10:34 Trust-building + delivering value as the strategy
10:48 Social media shift: putting more real life in the feed (not just stories)
13:09 Email list: emailing more often to build relationship (without perfect polish)
14:58 Cross-posting and showing up on more platforms (TikTok/YouTube Shorts/LinkedIn)
18:18 Long-form content as a trust engine: YouTube + podcast (and keeping it simple)
24:00 Human-to-human connection: free no-pitch workshops and live interaction
27:53 Closing thoughts (episode ends around 27:55)
Key Concepts in This Episode
Marketing Fatigue + the "Miracle Market" Erin describes how many consumers are tired of being sold quick fixes (programs, supplements, plans, and "miracles") every time they open their phones, and how this can create skepticism and burnout.
"Miracle Hopping" vs. Long-Term Transformation
She contrasts low-commitment purchases with the kind of long-term coaching relationships that create real change, and explains why she prefers clients who are ready to invest time, energy, and attention.
Trust Building + Delivering Value
Instead of constant pitching, Erin focuses on showing up consistently, being a real person, and offering useful content that helps people decide, in their own time, whether they want to work with her.
Visibility Through Authenticity (Feed vs. Stories)
Erin shares her choice to put more of her real life into her feed so potential clients can actually get to know her, not just a curated business image.
Long-Form Content: Podcast + YouTube as Trust Engines
She recommends coaches consider starting a podcast or YouTube channel, emphasizing that it doesn't need to be perfect. The goal is to exist consistently and let people binge, learn, and build familiarity.
Human-to-Human Connection
Erin believes real relationship will be even more valuable as tech and AI grow, and mentions more live experiences like workshops, events, and community-based connection.

Seed oils have become one of the most controversial topics in the modern nutrition world. Depending on who you follow, they're either toxic, inflammatory villains destroying metabolic health… or harmless, misunderstood ingredients wrongly blamed for everything.
In this solo episode, Erin Power brings clarity to the confusion by breaking down the ancestral perspective, the modern scientific evidence, and the real world nuance coaches need when discussing seed oils with clients. Instead of taking sides, Erin shows how to stay curious, evaluate claims with integrity, and guide clients without fear based messaging.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice around seed oils or wondered what to actually tell your clients, this episode brings the grounded, unbiased perspective you've been missing.
Episode Overview
0:00 Why Seed Oils Spark Confusion
0:34 Ancestral Health Perspective
3:19 Industrial Processing and Mismatch Ideas
7:51 What Research Actually Shows
11:15 Seed Oils vs Ultra Processed Foods
14:54 How Coaches Can Talk About This Without Dogma
Key Concepts in This Episode
Ancestral Viewpoint
Erin explains the concerns raised by ancestral and primal thinkers like Mark Sisson, including: • Industrial processing and evolutionary mismatch • High Omega 6 content and theoretical inflammation pathways • How modern diets differ dramatically from traditional fat sources
Scientific Evidence
Modern research paints a more nuanced picture: • Human studies do not show seed oils causing inflammation • Linoleic acid is often correlated with lower inflammation • Replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats can lower LDL • The real issue tends to be Omega 3 deficiency, not Omega 6 excess
Ultra Processed Food Context
Seed oils appear most often in foods that are: • Hyper palatable • Shelf stable • High in refined carbs, additives, and excess calories This makes seed oils more of a marker for processed foods rather than the root cause of poor health.
How Coaches Should Approach the Topic
Erin models a grounded, non judgmental coaching stance: • Avoid extremes and absolutist thinking • Confront your own nutrition biases • Guide clients toward big picture patterns • Validate concerns while offering nuance • Focus on what clients can realistically change
The goal isn't to demonize seed oils — it's to help clients make clearer, calmer, more informed decisions.

Why do so many health coaches stay invisible, even though they want to grow their practice, impact lives, and attract clients who truly need them? In this powerful episode, Erin Power sits down with Kayley Hamilton — former Hollywood red carpet reporter turned PR agency founder — to unpack the mindset, identity shifts, and practical strategies health and wellness coaches need to become confidently visible.
Kayley shares her story of going from "the shy girl" who couldn't speak up in class to interviewing A-list celebrities, winning Emmy Awards, and eventually launching a PR agency that helps wellness experts amplify their mission. She breaks down her signature 3 E's Framework for overcoming self-doubt, shifting identity, building a magnetic personal brand, and stepping into the future version of yourself who is ready to be seen.
If you struggle with imposter syndrome, fear of visibility, or uncertainty about how to talk about your work publicly, this conversation will feel like a breakthrough moment.

Key Concepts in This Episode
The 3 E's Framework for Identity Shifts
Expanders
Find people living the life you want to show your brain what's possible.
Experience
Use imagination, visualization, and daydreaming to "rehearse" the future you.
Embody
Act as the higher version of yourself today rather than waiting for "someday."
Visibility as Service, Not Ego
Kayley reframes visibility as an act of service — not self-promotion. Coaches block their purpose when they hide. The clients who need them most can only find them if they choose to be seen.
Mindset Over Mechanics
Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and fear of judgment keep most coaches stuck. Kayley explains why imagination, self-concept, emotional regulation, and daily alignment practices matter more than tactics when building a brand.
Daily Alignment Practices
Morning affirmations
Meditation with the Activations app
Walking and getting-ready meditations
Movement to ground the nervous system
Avoiding social media first thing in the morning

- Pricing Your Coaching
Why clarity and confidence matter more than the number itself, how to avoid "explaining" your price, and how Change Talk naturally leads to the moment where pricing is simply a logistical step.

Dr. William Davis is a guest we’ve had on the show many times before. This time we invited Dr. Davis back to explain why he feels that Health Coaches are the perfect healthcare practitioners to help unwell humans get to the root cause of their health issues. As he sees it, by focusing on relatively simple diet and lifestyle changes, this will positively affect the incredibly diverse and important human intestinal microbiome and lead to improved health. In this episode, Dr. Davis shares with us why he (a cardiologist) moved away from surgery for heart issues and focused instead on lifestyle. He also dives deep into how to get the cardiac help you need, the new and unconventional approaches to heart disease prevention, and how the intestinal microbiome is tied to so many health outcomes. Erin and Laura also ask Dr. Davis a handful of the questions you, the listener, had about the intestinal microbiome. To you, health coaches out there: do yourself a favor and get a copy of Dr. Davis’ book Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight and be sure to check out primalhealthcoach.com. to enroll in our new specialty certification course, the Human Intestinal Microbiome in Health and Disease. Dr. Davis wrote this program exclusively for us to help arm you health coaches with the knowledge you need to help millions and millions of people found at https://www.primalhealthcoach.com/human-intestinal-microbiome-specialist-certification/ There’s a ton to learn from this episode, and honestly, Erin and Laura really just scratched the surface with Dr. William.

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.

In this special episode of Health Coach Radio (with a live-online audience), our guest is Dr. Judith Boyce. Dr. 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 (found at https://www.primalhealthcoach.com/health-coaching-medical-practices-specialist-certification/), 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. 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. 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.

Yuri Elkaim is 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: - Create an impactful product that gets results. - Use paid advertising to get clients in the door and get results for them. - 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. This conversation with Yuri covers topics like how to get your first clients, how social media really works, how to go from a side hustle to a business, what products deserve paid ads, 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!

In this episode, we are trying something new! This is a recording of a Q&A session that Erin held with the PHCI student body with questions submitted by coaches - just like you. Questions about business, coaching, and making the move to building and growing a health coaching practice in an ever-evolving health landscape.
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.
We think you will get a lot out of listening in on this wide-ranging Q&A session. Please enjoy and let us know if it sparks any questions that you would like us to answer!

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.
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.

Having successfully shared her training with medical professionals, eating disorder specialists, and therapists, Joanna's impact spans far and wide.

Pauline is a regular columnist for both national and international publications and currently delivers online courses and speaking engagements.

In this episode, she shares with us how her own sense of curiosity led her to get an education in nutrition, a curiosity that not everyone shares. She also highlights how we need to understand where our clients are at before we can help them, in a sense, allowing them to be the expert in their own experiences, habits, and behaviours. Pauline is a force to be reconned with and we are thrilled to share her knowledge. Please enjoy what could be called a Health Coach Pep Rally!

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.
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.
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.
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.

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!
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.
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. She also digs into how she attracts and identifies clients who are dealing with trauma. Not everyone identifies as having trauma (even post-pandemic) and that can be a scary subject to broach. 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.
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.
Adrien Paczosa is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian practicing in Austin, Texas and the surrounding counties. She is the chief clinical officer & Founder of usenourish.com, the founder of I Live Well Nutrition and is also the founder of Fearless Practitioners, a business that offers training to dietitians and wellness professionals. Adrien says, "I LOVE helping practitioners like you grow a reliable and sustainable income with their practice." And in this conversation, Adrien shares with us why she is happy she was naive enough to even try working in this space when she first started. She also gives us some good advice about how to partner with technology companies. Working with people with eating disorders is one of Adrien’s specialties and she explains why she enjoys that work and how a dietician can really help people in that situation. She also digs into how collaborating with a health coach can be so helpful. She says “It takes a village to help a patient.” We couldn’t agree more.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Robin Switzer of KetoCon is gearing up for their annual conference and she tells us that this year it is not just about keto. The people who attend and the conference itself has evolved to a more experiential health optimization event - which we think sounds super cool. Spoiler: Laura and Erin will be there too, talking to health coaches (just like you) about how to launch your health coaching practice. Robin believes that there is no one-size-fits-all version of wellness. We all have unique needs and preferences. So the goal of KetoCon is to be the absolute best place to meet like-minded people, learn strategies for success, and gather all of the tools you need to support your own health goals. We'd love to see you from April 21st to 23rd at the Palmer Event Center in Austin, Texas. Use the code PRIMAL to get $50 off your admission (valid until April 1, 2023).

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.

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
Dr. William Davis is a guest we've had on the show many times before. This time we invited Dr. Davis back to explain why he feels that Health Coaches are the perfect healthcare practitioners to help unwell humans get to the root cause of their health issues. As he sees it, it is in large part by focusing on relatively simple diet and lifestyle changes that affect the incredibly diverse and important human intestinal microbiome. In this episode, Dr. Davis shares with us why he (a cardiologist) moved away from surgery for heart issues and focused instead on lifestyle. He also dives deep into how to get the cardiac help you need, the new and unconventional approaches to heart disease prevention, and how the intestinal microbiome is tied to so many health outcomes.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Jackie Fletcher is a health coach getting her business up and off the ground and she decided to double down on content creation by starting her own podcast. She has interviewed quite a few big names in the ketogenic space and is having a lot of fun and success in the podcasting world. The problem is that her podcast has distracted her a bit from focussing on building her health coaching practice. Laura and Erin dig into her plans to build her health coaching business and give her some actionable tips to get things moving. This is a super helpful episode, where you get to hear two seasoned pros coach an entrepreneur on the best way to get started. In their conversation, they cover topics such as dieting as a child (and why dieting doesn’t work), how Jackie transitioned from blogging to podcasting, and why learning how to do something for yourself is so important. They also get into how Jackie approaches her podcast guests, why tenacity is so important when building momentum, how she created and published her book, and why starting doesn’t have to be a big deal. The ubiquitous problem of turning listeners/readers into clients is also big focus in this episode. Nurturing followers to become clients is a real skill and this episode gets into how to do it with podcasts, blogs, newsletters and social media. And perhaps more importantly, how to get yourself moving when you are feeling stuck with building your business and creating your products.

Danika has coached thousands of people, spreading wellness and cultivating self-care routines and systems that stick. She is passionate about teaching people to come home to themselves. Through her journey of recovery from disordered eating, food addiction, body issues, and an overall lack of confidence, Danika uses her experience to help others transform and thrive. This is a conversation with a very successful health coach that we know you get a lot out of. During the conversation, we touch on topics of how Danika became a plus-size model, where she got her confidence, when an education degree is and isn’t necessary, why we should do “whatever lights us up,” and being more particular in choosing what you put your energy into.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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!

Naomi Gee is an expert in clear messaging, copywriting, and visual branding who specifically loves working with health and wellness coaches.
Even if you are new to coaching, you likely know that learning how to tell your story is a clutch part of branding that, frankly, nobody likes doing or feels is worth their time and energy. But it IS worth the time and energy — and it’s gosh darned essential.
In this conversation, Naomi walks us through a website audit (the grunt test) that you can do on your website, right now, to make sure that it’s communicating to your audience in the way that online audiences desire to be communicated with.
To be honest, Naomi gives away a ton of actionable messaging tips and tricks in this episode; ideas and concepts that you can put into play right away. Her tips include the ways your website makes you look like an amateur (even if you’re not), why consistency is key (in language and branding), the power of a good call to action, how to structure an intake form, lead magnets, headlines, when in your business you should start worrying about design, and the 4 design mistakes that health coaches make.
Get ready to take notes and take action on this one, folks.

Today's guest is Dr. Ken Zweig of The Northern Virginia Family Practice, a membership-style concierge medical practice. We love seeing this type of medical model because it helps patients move the dial on the behavior change necessary for health improvement. By factoring in longer, more intentional, doctor's visits plus providing patients with a team of allied health care providers, this model helps keeps patients moving toward their desired and personalized health outcomes. In his 18 years of working in a variety of medical practices, Dr. Zweig says no health care setting has been as patient-oriented as concierge internal medicine. He believes the majority of medical problems are caused by poor behavioral habits that have accumulated over time and as such he takes a preventative approach to treatment and helps his patients adopt a preventative behavioral mindset before relying on medication that could inadvertently cause other medical problems. Dr. Zweig helps his patients improve their overall mental and physical health through a holistic approach to treatment that focuses on nutrition, exercise, and managing stress. This conversation was totally up our alley as health coaches and we know you are going to love it. Check it out below!

Three years ago, when Health Coach Radio was just getting started, one of our earliest guests was Taren, or Triathlon Taren as he's known by his many YouTube and social media followers. As the owner of the most downloaded triathlon podcast and second largest triathlon YouTube channel, the last time Taren was here he shared his journey of getting started and growing his hugely successful brand. Now, three years later, the Triathlon Taren brand has undergone a major renaissance. For starters, Triathlon Taren isn't Triathlon Taren anymore! Recently, Taren has dropped the Triathlon from his name in an attempt to move away from the punishing world of triathlon and toward a more holistic view of training for endurance events. Taren gets real about the benefits and struggles of reinventing yourself after establishing a well-known brand. He has also been busy building an innovative and novel training app and he shares a lot of fun details about what has gone into this creation.

As many of our listeners know, Brad is the co-author of many of Mark Sisson's books, including Primal Endurance, the host of the B.rad Podcast, former professional triathlete and world champion endurance athlete, and a guy who seems to be defying the usual laws of aging by remaining incredibly competitive in sports and fitness to this day.

Brad is the lead author on our newest certification offering, The Primal Fitness Coach certification course, and as you'll hear in this episode, he is the perfect guy for the job!

Today we are welcoming back Mark Sisson. Mark is the author of The Primal Blueprint, Primal Endurance, and The Keto Reset Diet, among several other books. He is also the founder of Primal Kitchen Foods and the Primal Health Coach Institute. This episode is part one of a two-part series on fitness. But not just any fitness, Primal Fitness! Mark was a world champion endurance athlete until he realized that the way he was feeding and treating his body was mismatched from what his human DNA was expecting. This kicked off his exploration into discovering the pertinent human diet, movement, and lifestyle inputs. Mark has been entirely ahead of the curve in rethinking how we approach fitness. Rather than taking on the "no pain, no gain" mentality, Mark's Primal Fitness approach involves the very fundamentals of human movement. These fundamentals include low-level aerobic training, strength training, and very brief, very occasional, all-out efforts like sprinting. Keywords here being short, fast, and occasional. This cocktail of movement is the foundation of his Primal Fitness approach, with play and recovery layered in to keep it light and enjoyable. All of this is presented in our newest course offering at the Primal Health Coach Institute, the Primal Fitness Coach Certification course. If you've been looking for a more sustainable approach to fitness you won't want to miss this episode. Check it out below!

Today’s guest is nutrition researcher and writer, Dr. Chris Masterjohn, Ph.D. We love Chris’ non-dogmatic, evidence-based, approach to nutrition science and in this episode, he helps us understand how health coaches can appropriately interact with research.

We want health coaches to keep their fingers on the pulse of emerging research in a way that ensures that the outcomes of the research are understood and shared in an appropriate way. If you are a coach who feels uncomfortable knowing where to start with research papers or you enjoy learning by going directly to the literature, this episode is for you! Check it out below.

One of the conversations in this interview is about the perpetual search for clients. Are they out there? Of course, they are! But, are you primed to see them?

Dr. Glenn Livingston is a licensed psychologist who specializes in working with clients who struggle with binge eating behaviors, which also include pathologies like stress eating, boredom eating, and emotional eating. In fact, he wrote the book Never Binge Again on this exact topic. This book does not dance around how to nurture one out of binge eating patterns, it takes a tough-love approach which Dr. Livingston believes is absolutely necessary when dealing with the root causes of binge eating.

Today we are sitting down with Connie Vanderzanden, a cash flow and business mentor for entrepreneurs who teaches her clients fundamental strategies for supporting their relationship with money. This conversation is particularly relevant for the health coach who is super uncomfortable talking about money and finances.

There is no doubt about it, this generational conditioning can be hard to break. But, just as we help our coaching clients unpack their conditioning around diet, exercise, and lifestyle, we coaches likely need some help of our own unpacking areas where we may feel uncomfortable, including how we feel and act around money. During this conversation we discuss unlocking your potential for success and wealth by first building a friendly relationship with money, knowing your numbers, making a plan, and what you should be asking yourself before investing in something.

Today we are interviewing Dr. Kim Foster on Health Coach Radio and this episode will be of particular interest to health coaches who have the desire to work as part of collaborative, conventional, or functional medicine practice. Dr. Foster is a physician who saw that patients were not receiving the support they needed after their doctor's visits to truly enact the changes needed to improve their health.

In this episode, we discuss Dr. Foster's mission of making the world a healthier place and bridging the gap between conventional healthcare and health and wellness coaching, where the current healthcare model thrives and where it falls incredibly short, how to prepare your practice to receive referrals from medical practitioners and how to effectively approach those practitioners.

Today we are welcoming Matteo Franceschetti, the CEO of Eight Sleep, a company focused on using technology to help people optimize their sleep, fitness, and efficiency. Most health coaches know that sleep is one of the most important, impactful, and often overlooked aspects of health improvement and maintenance. Matteo's point of view is that we should be putting as much mental energy into our sleep workouts as we do our fitness workouts, which is a really interesting point of view if you ask us! Sleep, for most of us, is just the thing that happens at the end of the day and as health coaches, we often see a lack of intention around our client's sleep schedules and routines. Eight Sleep produces products that help thermoregulate the body to enhance deep sleep. The science of sleep is one that is ready for the spotlight and Sleep Eight is leading the charge. In today's episode, we discuss how to get the most out of your sleep, what you can do, and not do, to improve your sleep, how Eight Sleep can help improve the efficiency of your sleep, and much more. Matteo is a wealth of knowledge on the subject and it was a joy to pick his brain. We hope you enjoy!

Today we are chatting with Karin Rozell, a business coach for health and wellness coaches. We loved Karin's approach to business so much that we had to have her back to the show for a second time. In fact, you might remember Karin as the business coach who teaches her clients the art of building their own 'Happy Little Practice' rather than focusing on the idea of scaling their business to 7 figures and beyond.

While this is an opportunity that is definitely exciting, it can also be daunting, and this episode is a pep-talk for that. In today's episode, we discuss the idea of hashing out your contingency plan, doubling down on what you can control, adopting the idea of a 'Golden Hour', setting short-term goals, and acting now (because there is no reason not to). If you have been feeling a little unsure of how to show up in this ever-changing space, today's episode might just be the pep-talk you need. Tune in to find out and we hope you enjoy!

Today we welcome Milena Regos to Health Coach Radio. Milena is the co-founder of the Unhustle movement, host of the Unhustle podcast, and ex-marketing strategist turned mindful entrepreneur. Unhustle is all about turning down the volume of the hustle. During a 10-day, off-grid, digital detox vacation, Milena was suddenly awakened by the fact that she had been suffering from chronic stress and work addiction. What's more, is that this entire body of behavior had been glorified by "hustle" culture. Milena became passionate about finding the sweet spot between hustle, well-being, and performance. Through studying work culture, Milena quickly realized two things. One, we are stressed out, overwhelmed and always on. And two, we are quietly desperate for a new way of living. These two ideas are precisely why the Unhustle movement was born. Unhustle's mission is to empower entrepreneurs to take control of their lives and live with less stress, overwhelm, and despair.

Today we welcome Drew Manning, the man behind the Fit2Fat2Fit story. You have likely heard Drew's crazy story, but if not, let me give you a little teaser. Drew was a personal trainer who was struggling to relate to and empathize with his clients since he had always been fit, healthy, and never overweight. In an attempt to glean a bit of empathy for the people he was working with, he intentionally put on 75 pounds of fat by eating a diet that was highly processed, convenient, affordable and hyper-palatable (AKA - The Standard American Diet). BUT, Drew didn't stop there. He then went through the arduous task of losing those 75 pounds so that he could truly understand what weight loss was like for his clients. Talk about a client-centered approach! Drew is now an author and sought-after speaker who shares what he learned during his experiment and the years following. To say that Drew's transformation went beyond the physical transformation that he saw would be a massive understatement. We know that you will love listening to this conversation! Enjoy!
