Beyond Traditional Health Coaching

Traditional health advice tells us that wellbeing is simply about eating right and exercising more. But this oversimplified approach ignores a crucial truth: your health is profoundly shaped by the world around you.

At 8404 Coaching, we pioneer a revolutionary approach to health coaching that addresses the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) – the conditions in which you live, work, and age that impact up to 80% of your health outcomes.

Because your health journey doesn't exist in isolation from your life circumstances.

The Missing Piece in Your Health Puzzle

If you've struggled to achieve lasting health improvements despite your best efforts, you may be battling invisible forces:

• Living in a neighborhood with limited access to nutritious foods or safe exercise spaces

• Working in high-stress environments with little flexibility or support

• Facing financial pressures that force health-compromising trade-offs

• Lacking strong social connections that buffer against stress and illness
