I’ll never forget a conversation I had with Sarah, a truly brilliant functional health coach, a few years ago. She looked utterly drained. We were grabbing coffee, and she was practically wilting as she told me about her never-ending battle with Instagram Reels. "It’s a hamster wheel!" she groaned, "Chasing trends, making new content every single day… I just wish there was some way to put in the effort once and have it keep working for me, building trust, even when I’m not glued to my phone."
"You know," I said, taking a sip of my lukewarm latte, "there actually is."

She raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. "Oh yeah? What magic potion is that?"

"It’s called YouTube."

Her face scrunched up. "YouTube? Seriously? Isn't that just for teenagers doing viral dance challenges or people showing off their makeup hauls? I’m a health coach, not a TikTok star with a ring light!"
And honestly, I get it. The idea of starting a health coach YouTube channel feels like a whole other universe to many of us. It sounds like a monstrous project, miles away from discussing meal plans or guiding clients through lifestyle changes
