HEALTH COACHING 3.0™
The Next Evolution ofHealth Coaching
Most health coaching today focuses on behaviour change, healthy lifestyle habits and whole-person wellbeing.
Health Coaching 3.0™ builds on these foundations and expands the capability of the evidence-based coach for the modern health and longevity landscape.
Contemporary health optimisation and longevity science
Advanced coaching and behaviour change
Nervous-system regulation and mind management
Physical, cognitive, emotional and mental health optimisation
Health data and personalisation
Psychological wellbeing and human development
Clear professional scope and collaboration
The result is a new generation of Health Optimisation Coaches who can understand the science, see the whole person, personalise the approach and help clients create positive, sustainable change.
WHAT MAKES OUR HEALTH COACH TRAINING DIFFERENT?
Health Optimisation and Human Development, Brought Together
We bring together areas that are often taught separately — mind and body, health and human development, science and coaching.
You’ll learn how to understand and assess the whole person, build deep knowledge of health optimisation and longevity, work confidently with modern health data and tools, coach skilfully at both practical and deeper levels — and build a specialist coaching practice around the work you most want to do.
01
Assess & Build Optimal Health
Learn how to assess and optimise the four interconnected dimensions of physical, cognitive, emotional and mental health — helping clients understand where they are now, what matters most and where they want to go.
02
Understand Mind & Body
Go deep across 120+ health optimisation and longevity subjects, from nutrition, metabolic health, sleep and exercise to brain health, psychological wellbeing, nervous-system regulation and functional longevity.
03
Understand the Data & Tools
Build practical literacy in biomarkers, screening, health and longevity assessments, wearables, supplements and health technology — so you can help clients make sense of an increasingly complex health landscape.
04
Master & Optimise Thyself
Your training begins with Thrive Unlimited, a guided journey through five stages of development: self-care, self-optimisation, self-mastery, self-actualisation and self-transcendence.
05
Become a Highly Effective Coach
Through live virtual training, develop the competencies and practical skills of effective coaching — including deep listening, powerful questioning, trust, motivation, behaviour change, habits and sustainable implementation.
06
Build Your Specialist Coaching Practice
Follow a step-by-step blueprint to identify your specialist direction, define who you most want to serve and develop a professional coaching practice that may include one-to-one, group and collaborative work.

Testimonials from graduates of v1 of Dr Mark's health optimisation and longevity coach training programmes.
Training with Dr Mark has been a truly remarkable experience, exceeding my expectations in every way. The training provided a profound depth of knowledge and practical tools, offering both the art and the science of optimal health. Dr. Mark's thoughtfully designed approach gently guides you through the process of shaping your own unique program and translating it into practice — one that can serve others with clarity and impact.
Dr Mark has created an outstanding Longevity and Health Optimization course. The content is comprehensive, covering all the key areas of health while showing how they work together as an integrated system. What truly sets this course apart is Mark's experience in training coaches. He explains complex concepts in a practical, easy-to-understand way that builds both knowledge and confidence. If you're looking to take your understanding of health optimization and coaching to the next level, this is the course to take. I highly recommend it.
It's not an exaggeration to say that coach training transformed my life. I came into training while still in my career as a District Attorney for the County of Los Angeles. That career left me sick and burned out. After becoming a certified Coach I quit my job, started my own company and have the energy to live the life I was looking for.
