Welcome to Health Coaching by Larry Kenneth Gates

This site is currently in development: a place to collect and organize my thoughts on becoming a health coach. You've probably gotten here because I've asked for your feedback and advice [mailto:kalimgates@gmail.com that can be sent here.].

== My experience with health and the two foci of my coaching ==
I feel enabled to coach others because I have improved my own health, and learned in the process. I have mentored (i.e.) coached colleagues in [[software development]] and on one of the [['paths of spirituality']].

=== Mental health ===
I have dealt with mental distress in myself, my siblings and friends. My own life has been disrupted by disorderly moods<ref>send to mood disorderist</ref> ("bipolar disorder")<ref> explain scare quotes</ref>). I have reduced the ill-effects of mood swings with medication and lifestyle changes. Over a period of years, and under medical supervision, I gradually tapered off medication, reaching zero some time ago. In parallel, I have improved my lifestyle choices in the big five aspects: nutrition, movement, sleep, sociability and purpose.

=== Aging well ===
I have transitioned from middle age to my senior years. From full-time work to part-time. From father of 4 children in the house to grandfather of seven (and father of adult children who live in four countries). I have maintained enough [metabolic health] to avoid almost<ref>exceptions</ref> all of the [chronic diseases] now rampant in American society (and to a lesser degree, the industrialized world.) My biomarkers are in the 'normal' ranges, without any of the typical medications of someone in their seventies.

== My training and certification(s) ==

I do NOT have any formal training yet, nor any certifications, but I expect to shortly.

I am currently researching [[coaching training programs]], many of which lead to [[certification]]. If you have experience with any of these please [[mailto:kalimgates@gmail.com let me know]].

I have learned many [authors and podcasters]. These are ones I recommend.

I would also consider an apprenticeship arrangement.
