What does an health coach do?

Laurie Samuels is a dental hygienist and a certified health coach her passion is to see this country make strides in reducing chronic degenerative diseases. Most of these diseases are connected to inflammation and obesity.

Laurie says that she knows she can teach others to live a healthier life through disease prevention and she  would like to engage the dental community to  help.

What you do affects the people around you, so helping a Mom, means helping her kids, siblings  partner and perhaps her parents. If we all participate, we can help improve the health of our friends, families, patients and our communities.

Today we'll talk to Laurie about her decision to become a health coach and how that helps her in a dental office.
