Health and Wellness Coaching can help you if you are struggling to control your blood pressure or want to make healthier lifestyle changes for better heart health.
Good blood pressure control is one of the important strategies to avoid progression of heart problems.
In fact, the first line of treatment in most cases of Pre-Hypertension / Hypertension is lifestyle modifications. This is where you can benefit a lot if you use Health and Wellness Coaching because one can often feel at a loss with a new diagnosis and is not necessarily equipped with desired knowledge, skills and attitude to bring about lasting, desirable changes.
