Health & Nutrition
Three Pillars of Health Coaching
Food and Beyond
It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all other factors present in our daily lives. We work with clients to identify all aspects of their life that impact their health.
For example:
– Does stress at your job or in your relationships cause you to overeat?
– Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising?
Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and spiritual practice are the ‘Primary Foods’ that support what we eat. The health coach employs specific techniques from my Emotional Eating specialization to help you identify the factors that lead to your food choices.
Diet to Nutrition
Each of us have unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison; that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run.
Instead of prescribing a diet, we will work with you to explore the food that is right for your unique needs. We will introduce you to local produce, whole grains, high quality protein and healthy fats. We will make you aware of simple and easy to get health food that need not cost a lot of money.
By consuming food that is good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy food.
Advice to Accountability
A unique role of a Health Coach is to support the client in identifying the specific steps to achieve their well-being goals. Once we have agreed the specific solutions, we will develop a plan to achieve the desired outcome.
As we know, change can be difficult; our Health Coach is here to help you to adhere to the change until it becomes a habit.

A Health Coach and a Nutritionist/Dietician have a common goal: to help clients lead a healthier life. The approaches however differ:
A Nutritionist / Dietician provides nutrition-based guidelines, meal plans and supplements to address specific medical issues.
A Health Coach, on the other hand, focuses on holistic health that includes nutrition awareness, other areas of life that can impact a client’s well-being and adopts goal setting and accountability-based approach.

My journey with Sheetal is helpful and realistic. I was worried at the beginning thinking of cutting food off and not being able to enjoy tasty food, but what I experienced was different, I was introduced to a healthy lifestyle and started a healthy relation with food. No counting calories or measuring your food or subscribing to meal plans, it’s all about finding the right balance and consistency. Something I didn’t have in my previous diets. I’m so grateful to this journey with Sheetal and looking forward to the next phases of it.
