At our NUHCS Womenโ€™s Heart Health Clinic, Health Coaches walk alongside women on their journey to better heart health โ€” helping them gain confidence and build healthier lifestyle habits through personalised goal-setting. โœจ

To understand the impact of health coaching, Christine Tioh, Sr. Case Management Officer, NUHCS, presented on a year-long study at NUHCS @ NUH and NUHCS @ AH involving women aged 45โ€“65 โ€” a group at higher risk of heart disease during menopause.

Her teamโ€™s research revealed that participants who received health coaching saw:
โœจ Menopausal symptom improvements
โœจ Better physical condition and energy level
โœจ A stronger understanding of effective exercise

Proving that small, guided steps can lead to powerful change. โค
