better health is possible!
EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. Diet, exercise, lifestyle, medications, genes and stress play a role in our everyday health. Let’s work together to create a health plan unique to your specific needs and goals!
Coaching options range from a thorough intake, assessment and wellness plan to a one-time consultation for new ideas to improve your health. (And many more options in between, either in-person or online.) When you are ready to take charge of your health, I am here to help!
How can health coaching help you?
A health coach is an advocate for you. From sorting through uncomfortable symptoms to setting priorities, we work together to ‘untangle” you and help you feel better physically and mentally.
How is functional medicine health coaching unique?
Functional medicine differs from traditional medicine in that it is about finding the root cause of your symptoms, and giving your body the tools it needs to heal itself vs. using prescriptions to address symptoms. It is a whole-body program that involves optimizing the gut microbiome, blood sugar processing, vitamin absorption and hormone levels, and reducing toxicity. It is an “under-the-hood” approach vs. a band-aid. And for many dealing with chronic, complex issues, a band-aid is not enough.
What are some of these issues?
Autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto’s Disease, MS and lupus.
Mold illness
GI issues (bloating, diarrhea, cramping)
Brain fog
Insomnia
Joint pain
Anxiety and depression
Migraines
Fatigue
Skin disorders
Food reactions
Functional medicine health coaching incorporates the traditional elements of health coaching with functional medicine. We will assess your physical and mental health and discuss how to improve it with nutrition, movement, and lifestyle changes. Over-the-counter tests including 23 and Me and Viome provide information we can use to tailor your program. I started Here to Help with the intention to provide functional medicine coaching at an affordable, accessible cost. Sometimes medical intervention is necessary for success...in that case, I will provide a referral. But coaching is a great, inexpensive way to dip your toe into the water to see if functional medicine is a good fit for you.
The Connection between Functional Medicine, Holistic Cancer Coaching and epidemic answers Children’s wellness coaching
I chose all three programs because they are based on the same premise; look at the body as a system, and find ways to reduce its total load while replenishing what it needs to heal on its own. Read more about how we will go about that together here.
What here to help is about:
I will:
Complete a thorough intake to learn about your current health issues; your everyday diet; your day-to-day lifestyle; roadblocks and challenges; and what has worked for you in the past.
I will provide information and support. (I have collected quite a database in my time as a coach, as well as through my family’s and my own health struggles.) I also have an extensive network of “healers,” both traditional and out-of-the-box, who may be able to help you.
I will help you determine priorities and set achievable goals. Some people want to move things along quickly, while others prefer to tackle lifestyle changes in small bites. My job is to figure out what works best for you and help you ACHIEVE your goals, whatever they may be.
I will help you navigate your roadblocks and work with you on “non-negotiables.” (i.e. if you MUST have something salty and crunchy every day, we will figure out something that is a healthy option. This is something I completely understand.) I believe while deprivation may lead to quick results, it does not lead to sustainable results. And what we want is better health long-term, not fitting into a dress for a wedding then going on a weeks-long sugar bender when the wedding is over.
I will work with you and your doctor. I do not have an agenda. I am a firm believer that traditional and functional medicine can compliment each other nicely.
I will not:
Try to sell expensive goods or services. Nothing ruins credibility faster than for a medical professional to offer a high-priced supplement or service as the answer to your problem. (Many doctors online will do this- write an informative article, then follow it by encouraging you to buy a high-cost supplement.) When I say I am here to help, I mean what I say.
I will not judge you. Trust me, I have spent a lot of time in “survival mode” and been judged and dismissed by medical professionals. That is why I ended up as a functional medicine patient and now practitioner.
