What If I Have a Medical Condition?

Health coaching is not a replacement for medical care. If you have a diagnosed medical condition, we work alongside your doctor, not instead of them.

I Work With (Alongside Your MD):
– Diabetes (Type 2, prediabetes, metabolic syndrome)
– Autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto’s, Celiac, Crohn’s, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis)
– Cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure, high cholesterol)
– PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
– Thyroid disorders
– Digestive issues (IBS, SIBO, inflammatory bowel disease)
– Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia
– Depression, anxiety
– Most chronic health conditions

How It Works:

You continue with your medical doctor for diagnosis, medication management, and monitoring. I provide lifestyle coaching to address root causes and optimize your condition.

Example:

Client with Hashimoto’s (autoimmune thyroiditis) on thyroid medication. Doctor manages thyroid hormone levels and medications. I address gut healing (where 70% of immune function lives), stress management, food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, and sleep—all perpetuating autoimmunity. Result after 6 months: Better thyroid function on same medication dose, reduced antibody levels, less fatigue. After 12 months: Off one medication, antibodies normalized, completely transformed relationship with her body.

When You Must See a Doctor:

– You’re on medications that need monitoring
– Your condition is unstable or worsening
– You’re experiencing new symptoms
– You want to change medications
– You have acute health issues

Health Coaching Enhances Medical Care:

Functional medicine health coaching is designed to work WITH conventional medicine, not against it. Your health is a partnership between you, me, and your medical team.

What Makes the Difference:

Doctors treat disease. I address root causes and help you live optimally with your condition. Together, we create transformation your doctor alone can’t.
