What is Functional Medicine Health Coaching?
What sets it apart from regular health coaching?
Functional Medicine Health Coaching is a transformative approach to healthcare that works to treat you from the inside out. It is designed to bridge the gap between diagnosis and a complete health transformation.
Health coaches are your ally in partnership with other health professionals such as nutritionists to implement and navigate your care plan. The support of a health coach will ensure you can make and sustain comprehensive changes to your health and empower you with knowledge, accountability, and tools to take charge of your own health and wellness.
It's all in the approach.
While both types of coaches work to promote balanced lifestyles, healthier habits and better health outcomes, a Functional Medicine Health Coach delves deeper to help clients understand the root causes of health issues instead of simply treating symptoms, and co-creates solutions that guide them on a path that both aligns with their medical care and addresses the root causes to rid the symptoms.
Coaches can work as part of your multi-disciplinary care team alongside your GP / Specialist, nutritionist or dietitian, physiotherapist, psychologist / psychiatrist, pharmacist, and other health professionals.
What does a coach-client relationship look like?
Change is hard. That's where a Functional Medicine Health Coach can come in—to be a change agent and health partner—offering you evidence-based individualised guidance and support to co-create and implement therapeutic plans, address barriers, and work through day-to-day challenges that arise on your journey towards balanced health and wellbeing.
Your coach will empower you through encouragement, exploration, mobilisation of internal strengths, identification and utilisation of resources, and through the support and development of self-determined strategies to execute sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes. Collaboration will be key to navigate behavioural changes and explore opportunities for growth and development.
A mutual coach-client agreement will be developed together to decide session duration, location and program period.
What are some examples of client long-term goals and outcomes?
Functional Medicine doesn't often focus on quick fixes or band-aid solutions. It focuses on real, lasting change such as:
-
Empowered self-care: Take health into your own hands by gaining the knowledge and skills you need to make healthier lifestyle choices that align with their unique needs. Learn that self-care isn’t just about spa days and holidays—it’s about adhering to your medication and supplement regime, nourishing your body, putting your mind into focus, and curating an environment that supports your wellbeing.
-
Root-cause resolution: Address the root cause of your health challenges head-on leading to symptom reduction across multiple systems and fewer health concerns over time. Health challenges can include autoimmune conditions, toxins and mould exposure, allergies, food intolerances and sensitivities, pre-diabetes, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, thyroid disorders, high cholesterol, hypertension, poor sleep hygiene, ageing, and more.
-
Enhanced quality of life: Achieve more energy, better and stable moods, and a newfound appreciation for health. You'll learn to see your health as an investment, not an expense.
