Based on this assessment, the health coach develops an individualized action plan that includes realistic, measurable objectives and regular follow-up sessions to monitor progress, celebrate achievements, and adjust strategies as needed.

Health coaches use evidence-based behavior change techniques, motivational interviewing, and goal-setting strategies to help participants build confidence, establish healthy routines, and maintain lasting results.
