career exploration

Question
I am researching a career in nutrition, but got sidetracked when I saw "wellness coach"  Could you answer a few questions for me?

1.  What is a wellness coach exactly?  

2.  Is there any special training that you have to have to become a wellness coach?

3.  In what ways is your career similar to that of a nutritionist?

4.  What is a big misconception about healthy eating habits?

5.  Do you believe that the body really doesn't require 6 to 8 glasses of water a day since we get water from our foods?  

Answer
1. Facilitates client in knowledge base learning, problem solving personaly - what you need at the time you can use it.

2. You need to know how to coach, and you need to know a lot about food, fitness, diseases, mind and/or body.

3. Nutritionist focuses on food, supplements only.

4. I talk about food and supplements.

5. You need whole grains, raw fruit, raw and/or slightly cooked fresh produce, and very little protein. Anything beyond that is misconception.

6. I know it needs more than that. Headaches, asma attacks, joint pains, misc. nerve disfunctions are helped with more plain water. Thinging that coffee or soda or pasteurized fruit juice (that junk is just refined sugar) contains water in a usable form is all wrong. That stuff contains diutetics. Some overeating is from hunger caused by chronic dehydration - when the thirst message is so screwed up your body asks for food in hopes of getting food with water content.
The drug industry doesn't want you to know that.

Illness is costing plenty. Much of it is preventable with knowledge. Once your health goes, your quality of life is limited. No Body has anything MORE important to do on this earth than take care of that body.
