WELLPOWER: Breath, Cold & Biohacking

Kristen shares her insights from over a decade of health coaching, focusing on five key strategies to enhance client outcomes. Her approach emphasizes the importance of breathwork and cold exposure as fundamental tools in optimizing health. These strategies include setting the right environment, developing thorough intake forms, integrating breathwork practices, conducting proper assessments, and incorporating cold exposure into coaching programs. Kristen also discusses the psychological and physiological benefits of these practices, drawing on her experiences working with athletes, universities, and individual clients. The episode aims to equip health coaches with actionable tools to stand out and foster significant transformations in their clients' lives.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Customer Service Excellence: Stand out by going the extra mile in customer service, ensuring clients feel valued. Set up a welcoming environment (mindset, physical space, sensory details like sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch) and follow up to leave a lasting impression.

• Master the Intake Process: Create a scalable intake form or provide an extra 15 minutes during the first session to review key information. Use an 8-question formula that covers physical and emotional health, stress levels, and current lifestyle. Tailor intake forms for longer programs (e.g., 8 weeks).

• Incorporate Breathwork: Integrate breathwork into your sessions, focusing on the individual’s goals (e.g., anxiety, sleep issues, sports performance). Example: Inhale for 2-10 seconds to aid glucose management and reduce stress.

• Conduct Thorough Assessments: Include active listening, observation, and comprehensive assessments (e.g., breathing mechanics, range of motion, nutrition, body composition). Identify blind spots and continuously assess progress.

• Utilize Cold Exposure: Introduce cold exposure into your practice for recovery, mindset, and stress management benefits. Tailor the intensity to the client's abilities and be aware of any contraindications.
