How My Signature Program, "Energy For Life” Uplevels Your Functional Medicine Doctors Protocols
Throughout my wellness journey, I have had the privilege of working with at least three functional medicine doctors. I have come to appreciate their approach to healthcare, which is vastly different from that of mainstream doctors. Unlike mainstream practitioners, functional medicine doctors consider factors such as food malabsorption, nutrient deficiencies, supplementation, and stress.
While I am grateful for the care and attention that functional medicine doctors provide, I have realized that they have their limitations. For one, they only treat the physical aspects of one's health. Although this is essential, it's only one piece of the puzzle. What about the other aspects of health that require attention? Secondly, functional medicine doctors don't provide support beyond appointments. What if you have questions or concerns outside of your appointment? What if you're struggling emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? These are essential components of health that require attention, but doctors seldom address them.
That's where I come in. As a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach, I'm qualified to work together with your healthcare provider as your patient advocate and coach. When you enroll in my 90-day program, I'm with you in the trenches collaborating with you and your PCP to determine a gameplan for transforming your health. I provide a second set of eyes and an opinion on the protocols. I can help interpret your labs and request other tests to dive deeper into the root cause of your health issues. Additionally, I'm available to provide encouragement, guidance, and support for any questions or concerns you might have.
Together with your doctor, I provide comprehensive support that considers the body, mind, and soul. Here's how:
Support: I understand that doctors can't be available to answer messages or questions outside of appointments. That's why I offer direct messaging support during my business hours, Monday through Friday. Additionally, I provide lab clarification to help you understand your results better.
Accountability: Doctors aren't typically responsible for keeping you accountable for your health goals. However, as your coach, I'll check in with you to ensure that you're sticking to your nutrition plan, taking your supplements, and feeling your best.
Answers: I love that functional medicine doctors are willing to dive deeper into lab testing. As part of my program, I offer an HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) test with a 60-minute interpretation and supplement regimen from my colleague and me @JMSWellness. This test provides valuable information about your mineral levels, trace minerals, heavy metal exposure, and toxicity. It's not something that your doctor would typically provide.
If you're currently working with a functional medicine doctor on your thyroid health or considering hiring one, it's crucial to bring me onto your team. My program complements the work that you're doing with your functional medicine doctor and provides comprehensive support that addresses all aspects of your health.
In conclusion, I understand the importance of functional medicine doctors in providing comprehensive healthcare. However, I also recognize the limitations of their practice. As a certified transformational nutrition coach, I'm here to complement the work of your functional medicine doctor and provide comprehensive support for your body, mind, and soul.
