I have serious doubts about this
I have serious doubts about this so-called health coaches and their credentials. My investigation into their background revealed some concerning details: The institution they claim to have trained at, Lifestyle Prescriptions University, doesn’t qualify as a legitimate university. It’s absent from the UNESCO University List, which serves as the benchmark for recognized educational institutions globally. They boast of offering degree and PhD qualifications supposedly accredited by the European International University, which is, in reality, just an office in Thailand—not recognized by Thai authorities as a legitimate educational establishment, and also not listed on UNESCO University List. It’s disheartening to think that these “health coaches” invested around £10,000 in what amounts to a fabricated qualification. Given these factors, it's evident that these health coaches lack the proper training, qualifications, and accreditation to provide credible health coaching. I would strongly advise against pursuing any services from them. While lifestyle changes can indeed influence health, it’s crucial to complement those with modern medical advice and treatments. Always consult your GP before considering spending your hard-earned money on such questionable practices.

Hi Phil, thanks for your reply. However, I have to 100% disagree with your comments. Let me explain: 1) Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching are the fastest-growing medical fields destined to help address and end the global chronic disease epidemic. 30,000+ health coaches work in hospitals, clinics, private practice, and corporate wellness programs in the US, UK, and most countries globally to help/coach clients in improving their lifestyle habits. We both agree to always consult your GP and healthcare provider trained in Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching. You might be surprised that over 50% of our students ARE physicians, nurses, and allied healthcare providers. 2) At our annual Lifestyle Medicine Summit (www.lifestylemedicine.ai) we host the global leaders in Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching with 50,000+ healthcare professionals and health lovers attending. They would not present talks unless they knew we put our hearts and soul into providing the highest quality content. 3) Lifestyle Prescriptions® University has established itself as one of the leading global Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching schools over the last 7+ years. We have trained our health coaching certification training programs for 10+ years and felt the need to improve/upgrade training and qualifications hence we added Integrated Master's and Ph.D. degree programs. YES, we are rather NEW and I am sure you will understand that creating a new university is a huge task. We have students from over 70 countries and have put tremendous energy into accreditations. We are accredited as a school by the internationally leading NBHWC (American Board of Health & Wellness Coaching), European International University Paris (accrediting international M.A. and Ph.D.), ASIC, and other organizations. Plus we are working on additional degree accreditations, degree validations by other universities, and international degree equivalency (US, Canada, and other countries). 4) EIU is regulated by the French (EU) government headquartered in Paris. Their global institution and programs are accredited by ASIC, UK, QS Intelligence (5-star rating overall), etc. And yes they have an office in Thailand. 5) I hope to have answered and clarified your questions. My personal guarantee is that our faculty, team, degree supervisors, and professors are 100% dedicated to helping students master Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching skills (via self-study classes, live practicum semesters, and client cases) and earn degrees that align with international standards. Our mission at LPU is to provide high-quality training programs to students in ALL countries (affordable, globally accessible, with cutting-edge knowledge in Lifestyle Medicine and Health). And that's what we focus on. Feel free to contact us directly via our website www.lifestyleprescription.tv. Sincerely, Johannes R.
