Virtual Functional Medicine Consulting & Health Coaching
The Optimal Vitality Wellness functional medicine consulting and coaching program is for people who are interested in optimizing their health by increasing energy, overcoming exhaustion, fatigue, anxiety, and overwhelm, clearing away brain fog, and addressing persistent, chronic health issues such as autoimmune conditions, as well as digestive and hormonal issues. By combining my training in functional medicine, restorative wellness, culinary nutrition, and years of experience in a clinical setting, I will help you:
​
-
Reset your digestion
-
Rebuild a healthy gut
-
Repair the gut lining
-
Balance the gut microbiome
-
Start absorbing, digesting, and assimilating nutrients (where they get into your cells where all the magic happens)
-
Reduce inflammatory symptoms
-
Naturally balance your mood, blood sugars, and hormones.
​
We will work closely together with virtual one-on-one consulting and coaching sessions to develop a comprehensive, customized program specifically designed for your health situation and lifestyle. The program will be one that will give your body and mind what it needs to maximize and what it needs to minimize to positively transform your wellbeing for lifelong sustainable wellness.
​
Educating my clients using pictures, diagrams, clinical studies, handouts, and straightforward language is key because when you have a clear understanding of your health situation you will also have a clear understanding of how you are going to reach your health goals to get back to optimal vitality and wellness. I am there to support, guide, inspire and empower you along the way. You are always included in the process of making decisions because you know yourself best, and we will move at a pace that feels best to you.
​
During our time together, I ask you to be an active participant in your wellness journey as this promotes ownership and commitment and increases the likelihood of success.
​
How the Program Works:
This comprehensive program spans approximately 3 to 6 months with one initial consultation and five follow-up sessions to be used within 6 months.
Note: after the initial consultation, you may decide if you would like to continue working one-on-one with me with the follow-up sessions. The extended coaching services are often necessary for the rebalancing work to optimize digestion, reduce inflammatory symptoms, and naturally balance hormones.
​
​
Step 1
Book a Custom Consult.
We start by taking a deep dive into your health story, prior health history, current issues and lifestyle habits, and where you would like to go in your health journey. I ask questions about your medical, mental, social, and environmental history to gain a better understanding of how to individualize our work together. This is where my health investigation begins to help you uncover your root cause.
