Schedule With a Functional Health Coach

Working with a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach offers you a personalized, collaborative partnership designed to meet you where you’re at. As your Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, we’ll draw upon the core principles of functional medicine like understanding root causes, outlining nutritional pillars, optimizing foundational lifestyle factors, and blend this with evidence-based coaching practices such as goal setting, behavior change support, accountability, and reflection. Together we’ll co-create a realistic plan, tailored to your goals, values and physiology, and we’ll walk alongside you as you build sustainable habits around movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, hydration, and restoration. You’ll gain more than what to do, you’ll gain momentum, confidence, and ongoing support based on how your body is responding. Research shows that partnering with a coach helps improve adherence, behavior change, and ultimately patient-reported outcomes. Consider us collaborators, not just advisors, and let’s make your health transformation not simply possible, but lasting.

Here are some key findings from the literature to support the value of health-coaching, particularly in a functional medicine context:

• A randomized controlled trial of an elimination diet found that participants who received 5 virtual sessions of functional medicine-trained health coaching had greater dietary adherence than those who self-guided. PMC+2IFM+2 While both groups improved health outcomes, among the subgroup with more baseline symptoms the coaching arm showed significantly better mental-health (PROMIS GH-Mental) and symptom (MSQ) improvements.

• In a systematic review and meta-analysis of health coaching for cardiometabolic health, the authors found that coaching had a small but statistically significant effect on increasing physical activity (SMD ≈ 0.34; 95% CI .08-.60; p=.01) among middle-aged adults. PubMed 
• A broader literature review concludes that health coaching interventions show “small, positive, statistically significant effects” on outcomes like HbA1c (−0.30; 95% CI −0.50 to −0.10) and BMI (−0.52; 95% CI −0.91 to −0.14) compared with inactive controls. NCBI+1 
• The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) underscores that effective functional-medicine care often hinges on a supportive therapeutic partnership; health coaching adds that layer of empowerment and accountability, helping clients sustain the lifestyle changes that practitioners recommend. IFM
