A Health Coach is a supportive mentor and wellness authority who works with clients to help them feel their best through food and lifestyle changes. Instead of prescribing one diet or way of exercising, Health Coaches tailor individualized wellness programs to meet their clients' needs.

Relationships, exercise, career, and spirituality are just as important to your health as the food you eat. Health Coaches understand this and take a holistic approach to supporting the whole person. Find out how health coaching stacks up against other health and wellness jobs.

Cooking Time

5 hours

Ingredients

1 Tbs. olive oil

1 cup celery, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 parsnips, chopped

3/4 cup zucchini, chopped

3/4 cup summer squash, chopped

2 green onions, diced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup dry red wine

2.25 lbs chuck roast

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

4. Remove meat from the pan. Add more oil if needed.

5. Add celery, carrots, parsnips, zucchini, squash, green onions, and shallot to the Dutch oven. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

7. Add wine and broth and bring to a boil. *See notes. 

8. Once the liquid is at a boil, return the meat to the Dutch oven. Cover with a lid and place in the oven for 5 hours.

Notes

1. You'll want to add as little or as much liquid as you need to cover only half of the meat. You just want to make sure that the liquid is equal parts.


2. Best served on top of mashed (or sweet) potatoes. Serve with side of roasted broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
