Student Spotlight | Donovan Maycock: Why the Hands-On Coaching Skills I Learned at FMCA are ‘Good for Business’ 1

Knowledge vs. skills. Theory vs. practice. Talking the talk vs. walking the walk. Not every coach training program teaches both—and you need both to be a great coach.

Setting Comparisons Aside to Find the Root of Your Well Being | Student Spotlight: Heather Aardema

Setting Comparisons Aside to Find the Root of Your Well Being | Student Spotlight: Heather Aardema 1

A defining feature of the Functional Medicine approach is the recognition of individuals as unique, and of each person’s health and wellness needs as unique, too. But it’s easy to find yourself making comparisons to others (and applying judgments about who’s “doing better” at being healthy). Overcoming this drive to compare and instead embracing our […]

As health coaches, “you’re asking people to make some big changes,” he says. “The two main interventions, diet and exercise—neither is easy to change.
