I am thinking about a career change into public health my ultimate goal is to be a health coach . I am located in AZ so if any one know any tips , suggestions on how to get started and free programs/training or any information to get me started on this journey towards being a health coach it would be gladly appreciated . Right now I'm in customer service somewhat of a total 360 but I'm willing to do anything to start my passion just a little lost on how or what would I do to actually start , what would a regular job be for a person interested in health??

    Public health jobs usually require a degree in a healthcare discipline, depending on your desired point of focus. A health coach can be anything from fitness to nutrition to coaching for a specific illness or disorder. Do you have any nursing background? If you want to go the fitness/nutrition route, you may want to look for continuing education courses at a local community college or check out Coursera for any certifications. They usually have some fees, but it is cheaper than a degree. Also, check with your state's licensing board because some require a certificate and licensure.

    Careers in public health require a masters degree.

    If you’re looking to be a health coach, depending on setting may require a health related license (RN, LCSW) etc.

    This sounds like a great career move men health, especially testosterone treatment, is such an important but often overlooked area. Becoming a health coach focused on this can help men struggling with low testosterone understand their options, including oral testosterone treatment. This treatment can be helpful for your health. https://www.rethinktestosterone.com/blog/healthy-aging-month
