Balancing Your Life through Health

Hilton Johnson and his wife, Lisa, founders of Hilton Johnson Productions, Inc., HealthCoachTraining and HealthCoachingU, are pioneers in the health coaching industry. They began back in 1990 offering innovative coaching programs using web-based technology, and today, they offer a 12-month certification training program that combines both health training and coach training.

The new certification program is more than just health and coaching, though. It also focuses on marketing and sales techniques because even the best coach has to know how to find and keep clients. Hilton has worked with many of the industry’s top leaders including Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy, T. Harv Eker, Zig Ziglar, Marcia Wieder, Loral Langemeier and Vic Johnson.

Hilton Johnson’s passions didn’t always involve health. Like many young men, his passions early in life were to chase women and play rock music. He stopped chasing women when he met his wife, but it was only after the sudden death of his brother that he decided not to pursue a rock star dream. No one realized his brother had heart disease so early in life, so his heart attack was quite a shock to Hilton.

After his brother’s death, Hilton knew he needed to save his own life. He started seeing a cardiologist and found that he would need a five-way bypass surgery. He had no symptoms and had no idea anything was wrong. People just like him are dropping dead every day. Many common diseases like heart disease or diabetes have no symptoms until it’s too late.

Health coaching isn’t the right fit for everyone. You have to have a real passion for health and helping others, of course, but you also have to have (or be willing to develop) other skills. It’s vital to your success that you have some know-how in presentations, marketing, and running a business.

Some people may think it’s silly, but to Hilton Johnson, a passion for money has to be at the top of your list to be a health coach. Money isn’t important if you already have it, but it’s vital to people who don’t. They absolutely must succeed. Only after you have all the money you need can you begin using the excess to make a difference in the world around you.

What does a health coach DO, exactly? They help their clients find balance. Even people who feel okay are many times not healthy. They?re not exercising or eating right, they have stress and/or bad habits like smoking, and they may even have serious underlying health problems that have not been diagnosed yet, like diabetes or heart disease.

Health coaches help people create a plan of action in their lives, and then they help people carry out that plan to become well-balanced, healthy individuals. This isn?t some sort of half-hearted New Year?s Resolution. It?s a life changing dedication to bettering one?s health.
