Health coaches provide invaluable support to midlife women navigating various physical and emotional challenges during menopause. Health coaches help manage the symptoms associated with this transitional phase, from hot flashes and sleep disturbances to weight gain and mood swings. The 5 pillars of health that health coaches focus on are nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, and community.

Many health coaches, like myself, educate women on all stages of menopause and help them understand what’s going on in their bodies. We share current science-backed resources to learn from and help them feel empowered to talk to their providers about possible treatment options. We are pivotal in teaching effective stress management techniques, which can alleviate anxiety and mood fluctuations. We provide strategies to improve sleep hygiene, helping women combat insomnia and night sweats that often worsen with hormonal changes. We educate women about nutrition during midlife, navigating a new healthy way of eating to support body composition changes and goals. We help women find their motivation to move daily.

Health coaches also fulfill an essential role in emotional support, helping women to articulate their feelings and navigate the psychological aspects of menopause. This support system is crucial for maintaining mental health and fostering a positive self-image during a period that many find challenging. Additionally, health coaches encourage goal setting and provide motivation, making them key partners in maintaining long-term health and preparing for a vibrant, healthy post-menopausal life. Through comprehensive and compassionate care, health coaches empower women to manage menopause confidently and easily, significantly enhancing their quality of life during this significant life stage.

My very first episode, 3 years ago, began with someone I very much admire. I’m thrilled to have Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum back today to highlight the role that health coaches play in the menopausal journey. Dr. Sandi trains people to become Functional Medicine health coaches because she believes that growing the health coaching profession will be the solution to combating chronic disease, offering affordable access to functional and lifestyle medicine, and reducing healthcare costs. As founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, a collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine, Dr. Sandi is a leader in health coaching education. An educator and licensed clinical psychologist for over 35 years, she was a pioneer in blending Functional Medicine principles with positive psychology, cognitive-behavior therapy, and mind-body medicine. Dr. Sandi is the author of Functional Medicine Coaching, Stop Panic Attacks in 10 Easy Steps, and How to Give Clients the Skills to Stop Panic Attacks.
