Founding Bernd Bissinger Health Coaching
In 2012, Bernd’s life took a drastic turn when he received the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Within three months, his mother passed away from the same illness, a pattern that had also affected his grandmother. This health crisis forced him to interrupt his preparations for the tax consultant graduation exam, a process he had dedicated a year to. The abrupt onset of severe symptoms, including blurred vision and difficulty concentrating, but also the heavy workload, the tax consultancy course on the weekends and, of course, the death of his mother, led to a state of burnout and necessitated his withdrawal from the exam.
Faced with conventional medical therapy and the fear associated with MS, Bernd embarked on a seven-year journey, searching for the true cause and the real solution. His quest for answers led him to numerous doctors, biographies of people with similar diagnoses, and eventually, in 2018, to the first book by Anthony William, The Medical Medium®. This pivotal moment provided the answers he had long sought, offering insights into the root causes of his health challenges.
Motivated by his own experience and the challenges faced by the chronically ill, Bernd founded his online coaching practice, Bernd Bissinger Health Coaching. His mission is to support individuals on their health journey by sharing his experiences and providing coaching services that he wished he had during his battle with MS.
Understanding the importance of nutrition, Bernd pursued online studies at a leading training institution to become a health coach. Additionally, he became a certified NLP-Master through the German NLP Association, an integral part of his coaching philosophy.
At Bernd Bissinger Health Coaching, his goal is to spare clients from misleading information, guide them away from trendy traps, and expedite their path to recovery. Bernd aims to help clients achieve a deeper understanding of the connections between health factors, enabling them to reach their goals faster and reclaim their lives sooner. Through his coaching, he seeks to prevent others from enduring the lengthy and challenging search for solutions that characterized his own journey with MS.
Impactful Health Coaching Journey
As the founder and CEO of Bernd Bissinger Health Coaching, Bernd provides 1:1 coaching to support individuals suffering from chronic illnesses on their journey to a life filled with health, energy, and fulfillment. The most fulfilling aspect of his routine is witnessing clients experience breakthroughs, success, and renewed happiness and gratitude for his assistance. Bernd takes pride in helping clients regain their energy, reclaim their lives, and pursue their passions.
The positive feedback from clients, expressing how coaching has significantly helped them, is a source of joy for Bernd. Knowing that clients extend their coaching programs because of the tangible benefits and the accountability provided, further reinforces the value of his coaching approach. Many clients express that working with Bernd enables them to see connections and gain a deeper understanding beyond what they could achieve by reading Medical Medium® books on their own.
Bernd’s coaching philosophy emphasizes empowering clients to take control of their health, teaching them skills to independently solve problems in the future. This approach aims to save clients money by not creating dependency on long-term coaching programs. After completing his coaching program, clients have a solid foundation to continue their journey without the need for expensive ongoing sessions. Bernd offers the option for clients to engage in longer-term coaching relationships or opt for affordable, spontaneous short appointments for acute questions.
To support his coaching clients, Bernd provides helpful documents, overviews, lists, and information related to Medical Medium®. This ensures clients have resources to continue their journey independently after completing the coaching program. Bernd also shares Medical Medium® knowledge, tips, information, and affordable recipes on his Instagram profile @berndbissinger, making valuable insights accessible to a wider audience.
Team Philosophy
Bernd emphasizes the importance of team processes, highlighting that while individual leaders are significant, team collaboration is indispensable. He acknowledges that one individual may not excel in all areas, and team dynamics become essential to fulfill diverse tasks and complete complex projects that require a collective effort. This perspective underscores the idea that collaboration and cooperation within a team are crucial for success, leveraging the strengths of each team member to achieve common goals.
Leveraging Modern Tech for Health Coaching and Global Impact
Bernd highlights the advantages of modern conferencing tools like Zoom, emphasizing their role in facilitating group coaching sessions and international calls. He acknowledges the digital landscape’s benefits for teamwork and collaboration, citing examples such as live sessions on social media that enable mutual promotion and collaboration between partners. Additionally, Bernd points out the efficiency of online programs, software, and tools for training large numbers of people simultaneously, as seen in programs like Muneeza’s “Rise Up.” In a competitive market, he underscores the importance of uniqueness and strategic positioning to attract potential clients. Bernd also notes the significance of software support, including tools for subtitles, transcripts, and video conferences, especially when working on an international scale.
Nurturing Health Through Continuous Learning
Bernd actively keeps himself updated with the latest information from the Medical Medium®, including books, social media posts, lives, blogs, and newsletters. In his role as a support coach on Muneeza Ahmed’s team, he leverages his experience gained through personal coaching clients to assist and support others. Muneeza Ahmed is a medical intuitive and the first practitioner endorsed by Anthony William, the Medical Medium®.
As part of Muneeza Ahmed’s Support Coach Team since 2020, Bernd contributes to the online coaching program “Intuitive Healing Community” (IHC) and the practitioner programs “Rise Up” and “Soar Higher.” In these roles, he supports clients, aspiring health coaches, and practitioners with his expertise in health and business coaching. Being part of this team provides him with access to a diverse group of professionals in the medical field, including nurses, doctors, psychologists, and others. This collaborative environment allows for discussions, shared insights, and a wealth of knowledge that benefits both him and his clients.
Bernd emphasizes the importance of listening and conducting a thorough “Health History Session” before coaching sessions. This approach involves going through a comprehensive questionnaire and asking in-depth questions to understand the client’s situation better. He believes that a personalized coaching approach, tailored to each client’s unique circumstances, is crucial for providing effective and meaningful advice. Bernd also continuously invests in his education by participating in personal coaching, courses, and other learning opportunities in various business areas.
Turning MS Diagnosis into a Mission
Despite facing an MS diagnosis, Bernd took a bold step and founded his online coaching practice, Bernd Bissinger Health Coaching. Motivated by the desire to offer clients the support he wished for during his own MS battle, he aims to provide the Medical Medium® information sooner to prevent others from experiencing the disabilities caused by MS. Through his coaching, Bernd helps clients understand the root causes and connections, accelerating their journey to health and enabling them to reclaim their lives.
Bernd’s daily motivation lies in this mission, and he looks forward to continually expanding his practice to reach and assist as many people as possible. In a few years, Bernd envisions himself completely healed and inspiring countless individuals worldwide to heal from chronic illnesses naturally.
Call to Action
Bernd highlights the common tendency of people to hesitate and delay seeking professional help for their health issues, particularly when certain services like health coaching are not covered by social security. He emphasizes the importance of addressing health issues early to prevent prolonged suffering and higher costs. Bernd suggests that investing in professional health coaching can provide shortcuts, prevent misinformation, and save individuals from unnecessary suffering and expenses. He encourages people to reconsider the affordability of not seeking professional help for their health. Because in chronic illnesses, timing is super important, as the longer you wait, the worse symptoms get. Bernd further adds that the consequences of doing nothing are much more expensive than a coaching programme.
Leadership Wisdom
Bernd’s advice to someone entering a leadership position for the first time is to prioritize work-life balance for sustaining personal well-being and effectiveness. He emphasizes the importance of getting enough sleep, especially during the “healing sleep window” from 10 pm to 2 am. Valuing free time, dedicating moments to unwind, and fostering overall well-being are critical for maintaining balance in life.
Leading by example is another key aspect of effective leadership, where demonstrating expected values and work ethic sets a positive tone for the team. Bernd also advises investing time in valuing and developing team members to create a collaborative and motivated work environment.
