If you enjoy healthy living and want to learn more about the best ways to care for your body, you might want to enroll in some healthy lifestyle courses to learn more. But after you've completed these courses, you probably don't want to just stash the knowledge away in the back of your head and never think about it again. Rather, there are a few different career paths you could take in which your knowledge of a healthy lifestyle could come in handy.

1. Health Coach

If you like the idea of working for yourself, you can always start your own business as a health coach. You would charge people a certain rate per hour to talk with them about their lifestyles and certain changes they could make. This could be done in person or over the Internet. You may get clients who just want to live more healthily overall, and others who have specific goals, such as fitting in more exercise or losing 15 pounds. Each client will be different, so this career will really keep you engaged and interested. However, running your own business is very time-consuming, so this is not a step to take until you're truly ready to commit.

2. Personal Trainer

How would you feel about working in a gym setting? If you are willing to put in a little more training, you could become certified as a personal trainer and then use your dual certification to help clients work towards better fitness. Many personal trainers do not have a ton of health knowledge beyond their knowledge of exercise, so your extra expertise in healthy lifestyles will make you stand out from the crowd and attract a lot of clients.

3. Grocery Coaching

This is a creative approach and one you can take if you absolutely love food and getting to know people. Consider accompanying clients to the grocery store and helping them make healthy choices. You can browse for products together, talk about how to read nutrition labels, and give your clients ideas of how to cook items with which they are unfamiliar. You can teach them specific strategies for healthy shopping that they can then implement when they later go shopping on their own. 

Taking classes about healthy living is a good way to jump-start a new career or enhance a current career in health. There are so many opportunities out there if you're willing to work hard and think outside the box.
