What is the concept of allostatic load and why is it relevant to health coaching?
Answer: It represents the cumulative wear on the body from chronic stress, indicating long-term health risk
Allostatic load represents cumulative physiological wear from chronic stress, helping coaches understand why ongoing stress management is critical for preventing long-term health consequences.
How should a health coach integrate movement and exercise into stress management?
Answer: Suggest appropriate physical activities that match the client's fitness level and preferences, as exercise reduces cortisol and improves mood

What role does time management play in a client's stress reduction plan?

Effective time management directly reduces stress by decreasing overwhelm, creating space for health-promoting activities, and preventing the chronic stress of overcommitment.
