Health Tip of the Day Community?

[unnecessaryhat]

Hi fellow public health devotees. I'm a health coach, and some of my colleagues and I were considering starting a weekly/daily health tip newsletter for clients. I had the idea of translating that into an LJ Community. I wanted to informally poll you all to gauge interest in the possible community

In your survey you lumped co-modding and contributing posts. I am not interested in being a moderator. But I can come up with a health tip or curious question from time to time.

gotcha. Thanks!

Can you say a little bit more about how this would differ from the other daily/weekly health tip type info that already exists in many spots online and in print? The interacting with the community bit sounds interesting, but the general resources/articles seem like they'd duplicate a lot of what's already done elsewhere - just trying to be helpful.

Thank you for your input. Specifically, this would be a community from a health coaching point of view. My co-workers and I coach programs for weight management, stress management, and smoking cessation. Through our jobs, we come across a lot of interesting resources and information, and there are some questions we hear over and over again. The tip newsletter project we're doing will be around those types of frequently asked questions and ideas. That's what I would potentially include in the community.

Some examples from tip newsletters so far are 5 minute relaxation exercise, looking at over-eating from a behavior-modification point of view, and common causes of fatigue.
