Hi everyone! Welcome to our show notes for Episode #6 of The Enlightened Pharmacist. The title says it all. Through health coaching, digging deep into my why and addressing limiting beliefs, I finally won against that packet of chips……
What is health coaching? How does it work? Find out how Shivaun Conn transformed my >40 years addiction to chips
I had been deliberating whether to study to become a Health Coach. I consulted my inner circle, and they said Nah, you’re a pharmacist and worked on the Phone Lines, you don’t need it.
However, when I conducted medicine reviews ( I specialise in checking for side effects and interactions related to medicines), I felt like I could dig deeper with patients to transform their health habits hence, long-story I short enrolled and completed the course.
What was it like? The experience was life-changing. As part of the course, you bring real-life habits to practice with other students. Many times I put my hand up to be coached by Shivaun Conn, just because the results were transformative. I no longer am a potato chip addict, have 1 less self-limiting belief and am on my way to become My Dream Self.
Shivaun has worked for 19 years as a dietitian, health coach and presenter. Shivaun currently coaches individuals in nutrition and lifestyle, trains practitioners in health behaviour change, and develops health and nutrition programs across a range of sectors.
Today, I managed to persuade Shivaun to join us and share her secrets of behaviour change.
In this episode, you will discover:
- How a health coach can unlock any powerful and limiting beliefs that are preventing you from living a healthy life
- Role of a health coach: tap into motivation, change behaviours and create healthy habits, prevent relapses, challenge any limiting beliefs that interfere with your ability to achieve any health goals
