Life Mastery Podcast 135 - Fitness Entrepreneurship: Depression and Weight Loss

In this episode Kori shares a case that one of The Diet Doc clinicians is working through. Depression is at the heart of this client's struggles, and a belief that he cannot lose weight if he is depressed is creating a wall between him and his goals.
Kori and Joe discuss specific strategies that a coach can use in similar situations, digging into topics such as identity, healthy distancing from emotion, inspiring curiosity, and removing labels to acquire new perspectives.

Coaching others toward fitness and health demands a whole-person approach. Do you have the skills, knowledge, expertise, and practice to help your clients as thoroughly as possible, while staying within your scope of practice?

As a health psychologist, Kori has the pleasure of mentoring and training The Diet Doc Mindset and Motivation coaching team. They've engaged in an 8-month college level course with case consultations, regular masterminds, and ongoing support so they have the resources to meet their clients' needs from a bio-psycho-social-emotional-spiritual space!
