‘ Food isn’t like medicine ,it is medicine, and it’s our number one tool for creating the vibrant health we deserve’- Dr Mark Hyman.
I am very excited about Functional Medicine, and believe it will bring a revolution in Healthcare that is so desperately needed. It is a new model of medicine that incorporates the best diagnostic tools and technologies from conventional medicine, as emerging tests and tools (like DNA Testing) that help us identify the critical imbalances that are the root of all illness. Conventional Medicine often focuses on naming diseases and using a pill for every ill.
The pillars of “functional medicine” address care for the whole human being, and see the body as a holistic network, not just separate organs or body parts that need treatment.
Research indicates that there is a sharp increase in complex Chronic Diseases like Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancers, Mental Illness, and Autoimmune disorders like Rheumatoid Arthritis.
We are in a crisis!
What is health coaching?
As a coach, I spend time with my clients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health, and complex, chronic disease.
I have access to functional lab testing, which allows me to be able to have a greater understanding of where imbalances are occurring in your body, instead of just guessing, according to symptoms.
I don’t deal with symptoms, but I try and find the cause of a disease, to see what needs to be done for your body through diet, exercise, stress management, proper sleep and supplementation, to help bring your body back into balance.
- During our sessions I focus on:
- Educating and helping you to understand the doctors plan of care, and sometimes working with your doctor or practitioner
- Discussing how food is medicine, and how we need nutrition to keep homeostasis(balance) in our different body systems.
- Mindset
- Positive relationship with food
- How to read and understand labels during food shopping.
- Guidance with creating healthy shopping lists.
- Meal planning
- Guidance with nutrition and supplements.
- Creating a healthy sleep routine.
- Stress Management techniques.
- Advice on exercise and movement.
- Finding your joy and balance in life.
- I’ll be your ally and support as we progress towards your health goals.
