An Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (INHC) is a holistic wellness guide who helps people achieve sustainable health goals by focusing on the whole person, not just food. They address lifestyle factors like relationships, career, exercise, and spirituality, alongside nutrition, using a personalized approach called "bio-individuality" to create unique, actionable plans in collaboration with their clients. INHCs act as educators, motivators, and accountability partners, teaching their clients to listen to their bodies and to make lasting behavioral changes for long-term health and wellness results. 

Key Aspects of Their Role:

Holistic Approach: Considers "primary food" (relationships, career, exercise, spirituality) and "secondary food" (what's on your plate) as interconnected.

Bio-Individuality: Recognizes that everyone has unique needs and what works for one person may not work for another, tailoring guidance accordingly.

Behavior Change: Focuses on empowering clients to discover and implement healthy lifestyle habits, rather than just prescribing diets.

Accountability & Support: Provides ongoing support, guidance, and accountability to help clients stick to their plans and navigate challenges.

Collaboration: Works alongside other healthcare professionals (doctors, therapists) to fill gaps in traditional care, especially regarding lifestyle guidance. 

What They Help With:

- Creating healthier eating habits.

- Improving sleep patterns and stress management.

- Finding sustainable exercise routines.

- Addressing emotional eating and body image issues.

- Improving overall life balance and happiness. 

Yes! Many people can put Type 2 Diabetes into remission (and essentially reverse this metabolic condition) by lowering insulin resistance, reducing inflammation, and building habits that stabilize blood sugar long-term. Medications can help in the short term, but they don't solve the root problem. Only diet and lifestyle change can do this - and that's the part we tackle together.

GLP-1s can be powerful tools, but they are not a complete strategy. This program protects the muscle you need for metabolism, teaches you how to fuel your body properly, and help you avoid the rebound weight regain that's so common when proper nutrition and habit-building are ignored. This of this program as the missing piece that makes the medication work the way you hope it will.

No! Many clients prefer medication-free approach, and others want support as they taper off under their doctor's supervision. This program supports both paths because the goal is the same: stable blood sugar, muscle preservation (or increases), and ultimately a body that's FUN to live in again.

Most programs focus on calorie counting, aka the "eat less, move more" model without recognizing the role that powerful hormones like insulin, ghrelin, leptin, and cortisol play in your health and wellness.

For people dealing with metabolic dysfunction like insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes, the "Break FREE From Type 2 Diabetes" program focuses on:

- Reversing insulin resistance, not just lowering blood sugar

- Building and preserving muscle, something that medications often compromise

- Creating sustainable habits, so your results don't vanish later

- Bridging medication + diet + lifestyle, instead of treating them as separate worlds

No extremes. No starvation. No counting every bite.

We focus on improving the quality of the foods you choose, especially those that naturally result in lower blood sugar and higher feelings of satiety.

Small, consistent changes beat restrictive diets every time.

Many clients notice changes within the first 2-4 weeks. They experience better energy, fewer crashes, reduced cravings, improved sleep, and noticeable shifts in blood sugar. Sustainable reversal of insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes takes time, but momentum builds fast when you follow the right process.

Possibly - if your doctor determines it's appropriate.

Clients often see improvements that allow their medical team to lower or discontinue some medications. Your job is to follow the program. Your doctor's job is to adjust your prescriptions. My role is to support your lifestyle foundation that makes those conversations possible.

Then you're exactly who this program is built for.

You'll get coaching, structure, and accountability. We don't chase perfection. Instead, we build your resilience, systems, and habits that stick even during stressful, messy weeks.

Yes! The process that this program asks you to follow is built around simple systems, instead of complicated routines. You'll get realistic guidance, quick wins, and strategies that fit your schedule instead of competing with it.
