Functional medicine – root cause medicine that finds the problem(s) and resolves them rather than provides a medication and sends you on your way. Certified – I graduated a one-year in-depth certification program through Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, approved by Institute of Functional Medicine. Health coach – someone who helps you improve your overall health and/or wellness through lifestyle changes. That might be nutrition, exercise, habits, sleep hygiene, stress management, detoxification protocol from your PCP, an elimination diet, and much more. I am a functional medicine certified health coach.
Ready or not, you can take steps to improve your health and wellness today without diving in headfirst. Work at your own pace, in your own way, doing things that work for you. We’ll find the methods that work for you and that you want to do. This is about you, not what you’re told to do. I’ll never tell you what you should, must, can, or can’t do. That’s not my job.
You’re the expert in your own body.
I’m the expert support system, mentor, and educator.
Do you have a prescription for a detox diet from your healthcare provider and don’t know where to turn next? When I needed to be on an elimination diet, I was on my own to figure it out. There are steps to take before you start a true detox protocol, and it starts with your primary care person.
Has a food plan been suggested? Providers don’t have 30 minutes or an hour a week to walk us through the process. I’m currently studying to add Functional Nutrition Specialist as a FMCHC. Elimination and Detox diets are strong tools. Detox is an entire protocol that includes more than food. I’m trained in the following food plans (lifetime) and diets (temporary) through Institute of Functional Medicine: Anti-Candida, Cardiometabolic, Core, Low-FODMAP, Mitochondria, Detoxification, and Elimination. I’m qualified to help you figure out why you eat the way you do and how you want to eat going forward. It’s much more than what we put in our mouths.
“Get more exercise.” Sure. Unless we’re honestly already getting enough of the right exercise, we all know we need to move our bodies more. Being told to get more exercise isn’t motivating.
Most of us need to cut back on stress but where do we start? Some stressors need to be eliminated completely, and others need to be pared down and managed. Life is not stress free, but it can be less stressful. Let’s figure out what’s what, gain a clear vision of what is today, and what you need to be happy and healthy.
I’ve become the health and wellness coach
I needed four years ago.
As a functional medicine certified health coach (FMCHC), I’m here to help you discover your “why,” find clarity, inspiration, and put together a plan to reach your goals in positive, meaningful ways. You’ll do what works for you. I’ll never tell you what you should, must, or have to do. This is all about you, maybe for the first time in a long time.
Lifestyle Changes Lead to Improved Health & Wellness
Lifestyles are complicated these days. Stress, nutrition, exercise, detoxing a long list of things, and more influence our overall health and wellness. Changing nutrition through diet and food plans can lead to improved gut health, which can lead to better mood, more energy, and weight loss. Add in that exercise to an already busy day and wow… it’s a lot. It’s doable.
I’ve been there, and honestly, I’m still in it. I’ve lost a lot of weight and regained it because I didn’t work out the issues around my mindset and food. Depression ran deep until I healed my gut and calmed my nervous system. Exercise was full speed ahead or a complete stop. Finding a healthy balance of exercise and rest is fairly new to me. I’ve experienced a lot in my 60+ years. I’m as non-judgmental and supportive as it gets, and there’s room at my table for everyone.
