What We Can Work On - How This Coaching Works
You Decide What Matters -- Our Conversations May Include:
- Clarifying what you want the next several years of your life to look like, feel like
- Identifying projects or goals that genuinely matter to you
- Rebuilding daily structure after retirement or major life change
- Creating practical systems for completing things you have been postponing
- Examining obstacles, uncertainty, fear, or ambivalence about change
- Developing sustainable nutrition, movement, sleep, and lifestyle habits
- Organizing health information and questions for conversations with your physicians
- Learning how to evaluate health and nutrition information you may read about or hear online more critically
- Breaking large goals into experiments that you can test
- Finding meaningful ways to contribute your experience, knowledge, and skills
- Building a life that contains curiosity, learning, responsibility, and purpose
My role is not to tell you what your life should become. It is to help you think clearly about what you want, what is getting in your way, and help you discover possibilities you may not yet have considered.
IMPORTANT!
Odyssey80 Coaching provides education, coaching, organization, and personal support. It does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment and is not a substitute for care from your physician, registered dietitian, psychologist, or other licensed health professional.
When medical issues arise, part of my role may be to help you understand information, prepare useful questions, and communicate more effectively with your healthcare professionals.
State Scope-of-Practice Requirements (for Your Coach)
Health and nutrition coaching laws vary by state. Odyssey80 Coaching will provide services only within the scope permitted by the laws and regulations of the state in which you are located at the time of your session. As a result, the type of nutrition or health information I can discuss with you may vary depending on your location.
Health Is Part of the Journey
It would be difficult to build a meaningful future if you had little energy to participate in it.
For that reason, Odyssey80 also includes education and coaching around the everyday behaviors that influence metabolic and cognitive health — including nutrition, movement, sleep, recovery, and daily routines.
The objective is not perfection.
It is to understand how your body responds, identify what appears to help or hinder you, and develop habits that support the life you are trying to build.
While I have experience from the past in patient care education at a medical center, gave presentations to health provider audiences on the topics of medication adherence and behavior change, and have been studying insomnia, bipolar disorder, neuroscience, longevity, and metabolism for more than ten years, that is not the same as having a finished degree.
I am currently expanding my formal education in nutrition and health coaching with the Precision Nutrition-1 program, and with The Peterson Academy in neuroscience, metabolism, endocrinology, and nutrition.
