Health Coach Success

 Many health coaches feel anxious or guilty when it comes time to charge for their services, but what if undercharging is actually hurting both you and your clients?   On today's show, Julia Hayes explores why pricing often feels uncomfortable for empathic, service-driven coaches, and how doing work for free or charging too little can undermine trust, commitment, and long-term transformation.   We explore the internal stories many coaches hold around money, self-worth, and the belief that support should not involve a meaningful financial exchange.   I also go over how these beliefs shape the coaching relationship, and why undercharging often leads to burnout, weak boundaries, and low client commitment, while a balanced exchange allows both coach and client to fully show up, grow, and create sustainable results.   Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 425 to learn how creating an energetically aligned fee structure supports your well-being, strengthens client outcomes, and allows your business to grow without burnout.   Enjoy the show! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/425   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

 Many high-performing entrepreneurs push through fatigue, burnout, and declining health without realizing how deeply it's impacting their business, relationships, and long-term success.   On today's episode, we're joined by Eric Lofholm, business coach and entrepreneur, who shares how restoring his own health became the turning point not only for his energy and focus, but for the way he shows up as a leader and coach.   Eric opens up about navigating exhaustion while running a business, what led him to work with an Integrative Health Practitioner, and how rebuilding his health reshaped his beliefs around productivity, consistency, and sustainable success.   He explains why authentic visibility is one of the most powerful ways health coaches and entrepreneurs can grow their business, build trust, and attract aligned clients.   We also discuss overcoming fear of rejection, reframing outreach as service, and why accountability, long-term client relationships, and belief in your ability to help others matter more than perfect messaging or credentials.   If you want to learn how prioritizing health fuels business growth, how to show up more authentically online, and how to build a purpose-driven coaching practice rooted in service and sustainability, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 423.   Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/423   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

Longevity is no longer about living longer — it's about living better for longer.   Clients aren't necessarily just coming to you asking how to lose weight fast anymore. They're asking how to stay sharp, energetic, mobile, and disease-free for decades.   That shift turns longevity into a powerful business engine.   It creates recurring demand instead of one-off fixes, longer client relationships, higher lifetime value, and far more predictable income for health coaches who understand where the industry is going.   Massive capital is flowing into metabolic health, cognition, heart disease, and cancer prevention.   Labs, AI, and personalization are becoming the entry point to care, while prevention replaces treatment and inside-out health becomes the new standard.   The coaches who will win won't sell outcomes — they'll sell guidance.   They'll help clients adapt as their bodies change, interpret signals and labs, and build health strategies that compound over time.   For all the details tune into today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 422 on how longevity health coaching is topping 8 trillion in consumer spend! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/422   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

Many parents feel overwhelmed and isolated when their child is struggling with developmental delays or autism spectrum challenges, especially when traditional approaches offer limited answers.   On today's episode, we're joined by Winnie Odhiambo, an Integrative Health Practitioner and retired U.S. Air Force Major, who supports parents of children on the autism spectrum through functional medicine and nervous system regulation.   Winnie shares her personal journey from burnout and "normal" lab results to discovering functional medicine, and how her son's developmental regression led her to pursue advanced training so she could become an active part of his healing team.   She explains how addressing underlying imbalances through functional lab testing, gut health support, nutrition, and primitive reflex integration helped her son regain communication, sensory tolerance, and confidence.   If you want to learn how to support children on the spectrum by addressing root causes, validating parents' experiences, and creating meaningful change for the entire family, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 421.   Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/421   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

Most health coaches believe that growing a successful practice means constantly posting on social media, chasing algorithms, and staying "visible" every day.   But the truth is, the most stable and scalable coaching practices aren't built on content volume, they're built on systems.   In this episode, we break down how to create a simple, predictable client pipeline that works for you even if you haven't mastered social media posting.   You'll learn why social media is an optional amplifier, not a requirement, and how to shift from attention-based marketing to relationship-based growth.   We walk through the core pillars of a sustainable client pipeline:  • A clear outcome-driven offer that speaks directly to one ideal client  • A small number of proven entry points that consistently bring in warm leads  • A simple conversion process that turns conversations into long-term clients   If you want to stop feeling like you're "behind" because you're not posting daily, and instead build a practice that fills through clarity, credibility, and connection this episode gives you the exact mindset and framework to do it.   Tune into today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 420 to find out how to fill your practice without living on social media - enjoy the show and let us know what you thought!     - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/420   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

Many coaches feel burnt out or stuck creating content, but what if the real issue isn't strategy at all, it's misalignment with your mission?   On today's show, Julia Hayes explores why showing up in your business can feel heavy and exhausting when you're performing instead of leading from an authentic, mission-driven place.   She breaks down how clarity around who you're here to help, what problem you're emotionally connected to solving, and why it matters transforms content creation, visibility, and even selling into a more natural and effortless process.   You'll learn why clients connect to honesty over perfection, how your lived experience builds trust and credibility, and how alignment turns marketing into service rather than self-promotion.   Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 419 to learn how reconnecting with your authentic mission can reduce burnout, increase impact, and help your business grow with clarity, confidence, and ease.   Enjoy the show!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/419   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

 Many women feel frustrated with their health not because they're doing something wrong, but because they've been disconnected from trusting their own bodies for far too long.   On today's episode, we're joined by Catie Perkins, an Integrative Health Practitioner who uses functional medicine lab testing to help women rebuild self-trust and understand what their bodies have been communicating all along.   Catie shares how reframing lab results as evidence of the body's resilience, not failure, can be a powerful catalyst for healing, especially for women who have felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or stuck despite "doing everything right."   She also explains how chronic stress, overgiving, and hyper-discipline can show up on labs, impact the nervous system, and keep women trapped in survival mode and why compassion, curiosity, and individualized support are essential for true recovery.   If you want to learn how to use functional labs to empower clients, validate their experiences, and support deeper, more sustainable healing, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 417.   Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/417   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

Most health coaches believe they need nonstop marketing, packed schedules, and dozens of weekly clients to make a real living.      In this episode, I break down why that belief is misguided and how a simple, structured model can generate $75,000+ per year working just one focused day a week.     You'll learn the exact math behind seeing three clients per week (twelve per month), why consistency beats volume, and how a clean, professional coaching offer creates better results for both you and your clients.     We cover:   What to price your new packages at How to structure a monthly coaching program without overcomplicating it Why three clients per week is the sweet spot for impact and burnout prevention Simple ways to consistently find 12 monthly clients How to design a one-day-a-week coaching schedule that actually works   I also address what really holds most coaches back—overthinking pricing, chasing confidence instead of reps, and trying to do too much at once.   I close with a simple challenge: Pick your coaching day. Set your price. Aim for adding one new client this week.     This episode is for coaches who want freedom, impact, and sustainability without sacrificing their health or their life.
