Stop Googling Your Symptoms: Why It’s Time to Work with a Health Coach

If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling down a Google rabbit hole after typing in a list of your symptoms, you’re not alone. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when every search seems to suggest the worst-case scenario. If you’re tired of feeling confused, anxious, or stuck, it might be time to consider working with a health coach.

Let’s dive into why a health coach could be the missing link in your wellness journey.

1. Why Self-Diagnosing Isn’t Working (And What a Health Coach Can Do Instead)

With so much health information online, it’s tempting to believe we should be able to figure things out on our own. But just like elite athletes rely on coaches to guide their training and improve their game, our health deserves the same level of expert support.

A health coach helps you:

  • Step back and see the full picture of your health

  • Understand how different symptoms connect

  • Get out of the cycle of fear-based Googling

  • Focus on real solutions, not worst-case scenarios

Dr. Anjali explains it perfectly: “It’s hard to step back and get a whole body perspective when we don’t even know how it all connects.”

2. Relatable, Real, and Rooted in Experience

When choosing a health coach, relatability matters. You want someone who understands your lifestyle, your family demands, and your health challenges because they’ve lived it too.

Dr. Anjali shares:
“For me, health has been a journey too. Whether it’s sugar cravings or navigating eczema, I’ve been there. Having a coach who gets it, who’s walked a similar path, made all the difference.”

Working with someone who "gets it" means you’ll feel heard—not judged. You’ll get support tailored to your life stage, whether you’re navigating new motherhood, balancing work and kids, or managing chronic health concerns.

3. Coaching That Feels Like a Relationship—Not a Transaction

You’re not just a number on a chart. The best health coaches focus on building a relationship.

Dr. Anjali emphasizes the importance of:

  • Strong two-way communication

  • Knowing your family, your lifestyle, and your stressors

  • Staying connected between sessions to pivot when life throws curveballs

“When you make health changes, it can feel overwhelming. I want to know—what’s your support system? What’s happening in your world that could impact this journey?”

This isn’t about handing you a to-do list and sending you on your way. It’s about walking with you through the ups, downs, and real-life moments.

4. Optimism, Collaboration, and a Whole-Person Approach

Here’s another thing to look for in a coach: Someone who brings positivity, curiosity, and collaboration.

The right health coach will:

  • Meet you where you are (without judgment)

  • Help you push past your comfort zone in supportive ways

  • Bring in other experts when needed for a full-circle wellness approach

  • Stay curious and ask the right questions about you—because no two people are the same

Dr. Anjali says it best:
“I love working with other practitioners to build a transformative experience for my practice members.”

Whether it’s functional nutrition, nervous system support, or mindset coaching, working with someone who sees the bigger picture can change everything.
