We’re pleased to offer this three-story package anchored by health coach Hope Knosher, who also happens to be a yoga instructor and one of the many multitalented individuals with whom we’re so privileged and honored to be associated.

With holistic health as the main focus of this publication, a natural topic of inquiry for us is what health coaches offer and how they can help us. As we noted long ago, a significant health concern in America is that many of us are asymptomatic but have significant and growing health conditions that simply have yet to manifest. The problem is, by the time symptoms arise, a lot of damage is done—think heart disease, type 2 diabetes and many other chronic conditions.

That’s why we advise and encourage readers to be proactive and take control of their health. As many, if not most, of our readers know, seeing functional and integrative medicine doctors can be an expensive proposition, especially since most don’t accept insurance. Most health coaches don’t either, and while they are in no way a substitute for functional/integrative doctors, their fees are considerably less. There are also numerous ways they can help you improve your health, not the least of which is showing you how you can take control, establish a program and habits, and become your own best health advocate.

Here are the articles.
