Our Health Coaching Approach
Having a knowledgeable health coach in your corner can take you further by helping you better understand your lifestyle habits and providing you with tools and education to raise your level of health and vitality.
No matter which Vital Plan health coach you work with, you’ll be guided through the Vital Plan health coaching framework to make sure all aspects of your health are addressed. From there, each coach draws upon their unique skill sets to help you focus in the right areas with education and recommendations tailored to you.
In addition to following the best standard health coaching practices, Vital Plan health coaching is based on easy-to-follow wellness principles developed by Vital Plan Co-Founder and author of The Cellular Wellness Solution, Dr. Bill Rawls.
"Our health coaches follow a unique system that I developed for identifying and overcoming the obstacles that get in the way of wellness. No matter your health goals, Vital Plan health coaching can help you reach them faster and help you make wellness an integral part of your life."

Key Principles Behind Vital Plan Health Coaching
- Cellular Wellness is at the Foundation of Health: Promoting the health of the cells throughout the body is foundational for feeling your best. Healthy cells make a healthy mind and body.
- The Simple Five Elements of Wellness Framework: These are the essential factors needed to promote cellular wellness and are the basis for the simple framework we follow when working with clients. The five factors are: nourish, purify, calm, move, and defend. We use a combination of herbal therapy, diet, and lifestyle practices to protect against cellular stressors and promote healing, resilience, and longevity.
- Harness the Healing Power of Herbs: Herbs fill a critical gap in our modern diets and conventional healthcare approach by providing protective and healing phytochemicals that we used to consume regularly in pre-industrialized society. You’ll learn how to use foundational herbs for broad-spectrum support for overall health and vitality, as well as booster herbs for targeted support when needed for particular health concerns.
- Maintain Balance in Your Microbiome: Emerging research indicates that the reactivation of many common dormant microbes throughout the body (beyond just the gut) can play an important role in the development of many health issues. Examples include cognitive, joint, cardiovascular, and immune health. Preventing reactivation and imbalance of microbes present in all of us and promoting microbiome health is a key feature of our cellular wellness coaching approach.
"I completely love the follow-up summary Belinda sent after our coaching session. It is very helpful to have the written information with the names of the recommended products, informative links, and a list of ideas to try."

Medical providers review and interpret lab tests and genetic data and make treatment plans based on clinical information. Health coaches do not treat, diagnose, or prescribe medications. Instead, they educate people based on non-medical information and education and assist clients in taking incremental behavioral steps that enable them to succeed in their personal vision of greater health and wellness.
Health coaches provide support to healthy individuals or groups regarding general health and wellness information that could apply to anyone. They can provide general education around food and nutrition but are not able to prescribe specific nutrients or foods clients may need for a given medical condition.
Like any endeavor, practice makes perfect, and making meaningful health gains is an ongoing process. Because of this, we highly recommend working with a health coach for 3-4 sessions or longer to allow time for dietary, lifestyle, and herbal modifications to take effect and to have time to adjust your action plan as you go.
Our health coaching packages are the most convenient and cost-effective way for clients to work with their coach on a recurring basis. That said, individual sessions can still be helpful for people who feel stuck, need an action plan, want help building an herbal regimen, or just need an outside perspective.

"Belinda was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. She listened to my complicated story, showed great sensitivity, and brought great knowledge in trying to address the unique challenges I am facing. She is an asset to the Vital Plan team, and I would recommend her to others."
JOHN C.
"What an amazing team! This is such a difficult and frightening time of dealing with this disease. I am so thankful for all of the support I’ve received from Paulette. I start Dr. Rawls’ herbal protocol next Monday, and I would be lost and stressed without the hands-on support I’ve received. I have no doubt I will heal and return to a normal life because of this protocol and all of your support! Thank you!"
SHERI J.
"My coach was wonderful! So encouraging, knowledgeable, and helpful. Very valuable. A coach and a cheerleader! It means a lot! Thank you!"
LINDA H.
"Emily has worked directly with Dr. Rawls in creating the Vital Plan diet cookbook. This cookbook is so well organized, even including a shopping list. For so long, I have had minimal direction and just have been told what not to eat rather than what I can eat. I was overjoyed at the options put in front of me on what is recommended to eat and recipes and an organized cookbook with even meals planned out for a whole week. I can tell that the team putting this together had endured sickness and because of their experience, made this book so easy to follow."
ANGELA E.
"Belinda was knowledgeable and compassionate, very quick on the uptake and listened extraordinarily well. Already, her advice has helped. Relief to get tailored guidance."
