When should you see a lifestyle coach?

Lifestyle coaching can help if you want to live a healthier life but find that making changes remains difficult. For example, because you keep falling back into old habits, struggle to find a balance, or aren’t quite sure where to start.

A lifestyle coach works with you to identify the factors that influence your choices and behaviour. This is not just about what you want to change, but above all about how you can sustain these changes in a realistic way.

Lifestyle coaching may be suitable if you:

• want to live a healthier life, but aren’t quite sure where to start;
• has tried various diets without lasting results;
• you want to maintain your weight after losing weight previously;
• want to experience more energy in your daily life;
• finds it difficult to get enough exercise or eat healthily;
• want to manage stress or relaxation better;
• want to break unhealthy habits;
• want to stick to healthier choices in the long term;
• seeking support for a lifestyle-related condition;
• work step by step towards a healthy lifestyle that suits you.

Lifestyle coaching can offer support in various situations. Below you can read more about common requests for help.

Developing and maintaining healthy habits

Many people know what is healthy, but find it difficult to stick to it. Old habits, a busy lifestyle or setbacks can sometimes make change complicated.

Through lifestyle coaching, we work together to identify which habits affect your health and which situations make it difficult to stick to changes. Gaining a better understanding of your behaviour creates the space to build new habits.

Lifestyle coaching can, for example, help with:

• recurring yo-yo effect of previous attempts at dieting;
• difficulty with healthy eating habits;
• insufficient exercise;
• unhealthy habits in daily life;
• relapse into old habits;
• struggling with motivation or perseverance;
• developing a healthy lifestyle in the long term.

A better balance between energy, stress and relaxation

A healthy lifestyle goes beyond diet and exercise. Sleep, relaxation and coping with stress also affect how you feel.

Sometimes you may find that you have little energy, are constantly on the go or find it difficult to relax. In such cases, it can help to work together to identify which habits contribute to a better sense of balance.

Lifestyle coaching may be suitable for:

• long-term stress or overwork;
• fatigue or low energy;
• difficulty relaxing;
• insufficient recovery periods;
• an imbalance between exertion and relaxation;
• questions about sleep, recovery and daily routines.

Promoting health in the face of increased health risks

Sometimes the desire to live a healthier life arises from health problems or a wish to reduce long-term risks. It is precisely at such times that support can help to make changes achievable and sustainable.

Lifestyle coaching can offer support with:

• excess weight;
• an increased risk of health problems;
• high blood pressure;
• elevated cholesterol levels;
• type 2 diabetes or an increased risk of developing it;
• lifestyle issues relating to health and prevention;

Health and lifestyle are influenced by various factors. Sometimes diet, exercise or relaxation play a part. Sometimes there are also physical symptoms, recovery, mental health or other health issues that require attention.

That is why the lifestyle coach works alongside other healthcare professionals at Rondom where necessary. Depending on your situation, this could, for example, be a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, dietitian, podiatrist or another practitioner.

By looking at your goals, potential and health together, the guidance and support we provide will be better tailored to your needs. This way, you can work towards a lifestyle that suits you.
