In 2018 over 800,000 Americans died of heart disease or its related co-morbidities. That accounts for one in three of all deaths. Despite spending over 300 billion dollars to “fight and treat “the disease we have made no progress and it appears the numbers have only increased. In 2015,...

What is a Health Coach?

by Shelley Butler, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Thrive offers Health Coaching as one of its many wellness services. Many people wonder what a Health Coaching appointment looks like, and how it could help them on their journey towards true health and wellness.  A Thrive health coach is someone with experience and knowledge that can help get you to a greater achievement level than you could on your own.  Health coaching is about taking recommendations given by a practitioner or other professional, and helping the client to implement them into their day-to-day life.
