Who do you want to be in three months?
Nine months?
One year?
How do you want to feel?
If you’re like thousands of women living with an autoimmune disease, your health story doesn’t begin now. It began before you were born. Your grandmother’s diet, internal and external environment started the genetic story that you’re still writing today.
But now you’re ready to take charge of that story. You can be more than a passive reader in your life! You can be the author of the next chapters!
Health coaching is about empowering you in the lifelong health skills you need to take back your story.
It’s my goal to start this relationship with a breakup in mind.
You can’t exercise only one time and enjoy strong muscles for the rest of your life. You can’t eat only one serving of vegetables and have a happy gut microbiome for the rest of your life. Health requires daily habits.
In our work together, we’ll tailor the process to your unique needs, depending on your goals and concerns.
Visit 1: Getting to know you. This visit is a deeper dive into your concerns. We’ll also determine which labs to order, and what your first steps in functional health will be.
Visit 2: Depending on what we uncover in the first visit, we might start something like a gentle elimination diet to begin the process of investigating the most and least nourishing foods for your unique body. We’ll be checking in on how that’s going, and see how you’re doing with any supplements or herbs you started.
Visit 3: While waiting on lab test results to come back, we’ll continue monitoring your reactions to foods. We’ll try some vitamins and supplements, as well as herbs. If you’re already taking a ton of vitamins and supplements, we might take some out of the rotation to find out what’s truly serving you and what’s muddying the waters.
Next visits: We’ll really be picking up steam, here. We’ll learn which supplements and herbs are a good fit for your body, and which need to be avoided. We’ll start to construct a diet that tells your body it’s safe and loved. We’ll incorporate lifestyle habits to improve sleep, energy and mental clarity. Low and slow is usually the best policy for the longest and most impactful results. Once labs come back, we’ll be able to dig into re-balancing based on those results.
Once you feel more balanced and in control of the daily decisions that make you the author of your health story, you’ll be ready to do it all on your own!
How long does this take?
It’s completely unique to each person. For some, only a few months is what it takes to launch a successful health plan. For others, it might take a year to unpack the root causes keeping you from your personal best.
