Health coaches are highly qualified professionals who have expert knowledge when it comes to weight loss. They include nutritionists, sports therapists, exercise physiologists, and personal trainers.
A health coach won’t try to micromanage your diet or impose an arduous exercise routine on you. Instead, they’ll encourage you to make small changes to your lifestyle that will improve your health in the long run.
And this is proven by robust data. Numan patients who engage with the behavioural coaching programme via the app while taking medication are linked to losing 50% more weight than those who just take the medication alone.1
Behavioural psychology has taught us that certain motivations are more likely to drive success than others. By getting to know you and what makes you tick, your health coach can bring those motivations to the surface and help you to define the ‘why’ that will truly drive you to success.
When it comes to your health goals, setting your sights too big could mean you risk falling at the first hurdle. Working with a health coach can help you break down your long-term goals into smaller, more achievable ones.
With an abundance of diets claiming to work the 'best' and complicated nutritional advice to dissect, it can quickly get overwhelming. A health coach will give you personalised pointers to enhance your nutrition without making drastic changes to your lifestyle.
Even if you’re not keen on the gym, there’s bound to be something out there for you. Health coaching can help you figure out which types of exercises will support your weight loss and - most importantly - which ones you’ll enjoy.
Motivation will always dry up eventually, and that’s where discipline comes in. By keeping you accountable and focused on the bigger picture, a health coach can make sure you're heading in the right direction.
Above all, a health coach helps you turn those scribbled goals and vague plans into real, tangible results. Healthier weight. Improved heart health. A bigger smile on your face. The kind of stuff you can take pride in.
At Numan, we believe that every patient’s journey is unique, and the success stories of our patients speak volumes about the impact of personalised support.
