functional coaching vs. medicine
So you know your health could be better.
You want habits that can better serve you. Habits that can help you create a life you love; full of joy and freedom in your body, mind and spirit.
However, You don’t think you need the full bore functional medicine thing.
You’d like to use functional medicine concepts to enhance your life and health, but you don't want the "medicine" part.
ENTER... Functional Health Coaching!
A functional health coach is your guide, your teacher, your accountability and your trained expert that can help you with a personalized approach to health that gives you quality of life.
Our functional health coaches use a life wheel assessment to help you focus on holistic transformation that will be the most impactful for YOU!
We constantly see confusion when clients first come to see us.
There are so many damn experts out there!
"Simple Country Sarah" says it’s all about sourdough bread and living off the land. You know you can’t necessarily live that life, but you constantly think that if you could… you’d feel better.
Or maybe it is "Really Ripped Rob" that says everything you pick up in the store is toxic. So you think.. Why try!? Everything is going to kill me anyway. Besides you’ll never have Really Ripped Rob’s will power in the gym or on the plate.
You could even be listening to "Doctor Edie Estrogen" who says anytime you stay up past 9pm you are destroying your hormones and don’t eat too much broccoli because you could be stressing your thyroid.
In our clinic, we have to field the most ridiculous fears around food and life because of all these experts.
But you know what?
The only real expert is YOU!
This is what health coaches help you to identify. Where in your life can you develop attainable, sustainable changes that will bring you closer to the best version of yourself. Not the best version of someone else.
The truth is… there are many ways to live healthfully and what will make the biggest impact on you is different from anyone else.
Your health coach can also help you identify and curate an impactful and clear plan with accoutability and feedback that will stick!
If that wasn't cool enough...Your health coach can tell when you might need more...when to get yearly labs or when you might benefit from an advanced functional lab like a stool analysis or hormone assessment.
And in our clinic if you are working with a health coach you get immediate access to our functional medicine team with out an intake. Our functional medicine practitioners can do abbreviated appointments to order and read advanced labs and help with your care as a team member.
It is one thing to know what to do and to have a diagnosis, but the real transformation comes with action. Forming a partnership with a well trained coach that wants to see you succeed and knows how to help you into the daily habits it actually takes to succeed is invaluable.
If your interested in starting with the most impactful part of a functional medicine process… start with a coach.
I know I am so relieved when my patients have already seen one of our coaches. It makes my job so much more clear and successful.
