445-Coach Corner: "... but I want to physically feel better" & Coaching the Gap Between Wanting Change and Doing It

“But I want to physically feel better…” — sound familiar?

This is one of the most common client statements.

In this episode, I show you how to coach through it—without reinforcing weight loss as the solution.

You’ll learn how to separate physical well-being from body size, and how to guide your clients toward real, sustainable health changes.

I also break down how to coach the gap between wanting to change and actually doing it.

This episode is a must-listen if your clients feel stuck, frustrated, or torn between knowing diets don’t work and still wanting change.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your client’s desire to feel better often gets hijacked by weight loss thinking
• How confirmation bias keeps diet culture alive in their minds
• When to coach vs. when to mentor
• Tools to help clients shift beliefs and take action
• How to coach through fear-based resistance and self-protection
• What to do when clients say they want change but don’t act
