Health coaches help people create better health by helping them make difficult choices.
Health is not just the absence of disease; it’s the presence of energy, clarity, and resilience. Sacrificing short-term pleasure for long-term wellness is the hardest, but most powerful choice you can make.

We have a chronic disease epidemic. 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy, and FOOD is the primary cause and the cure. Yet doctors learn almost nothing about nutrition, the microbiome, or toxins. Until we change this, we’ll keep treating symptoms instead of causes.

Food is the most powerful tool to change your biology. It’s basically code or instructions that changes your physiology with every single bite. It changes your gene expression. It changes your hormones, your brain chemistry, your immune system, your microbiome, your neurotransmitters. Everything can change, and not in years or decades, but literally in minutes.

There’s hundreds of studies showing we can reverse chronic disease or prevent the onset with lifestyle change. And health coaches help people with lifestyle change.
Why does the left continue to engage in such sophistry? No one is saying we don't need doctors, but the modern burden of chronic, non-communicable disease is largely lifestyle driven.

This is why I wrote “Your Health Coach Will See You Now.” Working on primary care teams, they’re helping patients feel heard and are addressing the epidemic of chronic disease. They bring back the lost art of bedside manner.
Can somebody please explain to me how we went from the good physicians who would come to your house with their little doctor bag, know you, the family and the whole community — and only very rarely prescribe medications when necessary. …to doctors today who are now more like robots— barely know your name— and just click buttons to re-prescribe pills every 3 months. What a downfall of a once respected profession

If they had health coaches in all primary care practices, we would not have a chronic disease problem.
What do you think would happen if every primary care doctor and endocrinologist told their patients with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension to eat a whole food, animal-based ketogenic diet? Let’s just say this… Big Pharma would lose their minds (and profits).

If you need support for lifestyle change, get a health coach.
DO NOTHING. That's it. That's the most radical medical advice of our time. A thread on why avoiding healthcare might be your best health decision 🧵

Chronic fatigue isn’t a caffeine deficiency. Heart disease isn’t a statin deficiency. Depression isn’t caused by low SSRI levels. Every diagnosis deserves a deeper question: Why?

This is what we teach at @functionalmedcoach. We’re a collaboration with IFM.
Neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction have all been noted in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Nutrition strategies that include nutrient-based antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents as well as therapeutic food plans that support mitochondrial function and brain health may improve patient outcomes. In the following video, IFM educator Monique Class, MS, APRN-BC, IFMCP, reviews one of IFM’s therapeutic food plans, the Mito Food Plan. She discusses how, as a component of a personalized treatment plan, this nutritional approach supports cognitive health and addresses neurodegenerative conditions by using targeted foods and nutrients to enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and health. Learn more about preventing neurodegenerative diseases through nutrition in the following article: go.ifm.org/4nW9VG5

Health coaches offer healthcare rather than sick care as get help people make the lifestyle changes that prevent chronic diseases.
It’s time for a new kind of medicine. One that actually creates health instead of just masking disease.

Great news! But the best approach is a team: doctors, nutritionists and health coaches!
BREAKING: Texas just passed a first-of-its-kind law requiring doctors to learn about nutrition. This could be the shift we need to move medicine from reactive to preventive care.

The best is a team approach: doctors, nutritionists and health coaches to help people actually carry out dietary advice!
Doctors say it’s not their job to give nutrition advice, and that patients don’t listen anyway. Really? Then why are patients scared of red meat and saturated fat, and going plant-based to fix health issues? Because they are listening. To the wrong advice.
