A functional medicine health coach is a wellness professional trained in the principles of functional medicine—a holistic approach that seeks to address the root causes of illness and promote overall health. These coaches work closely with clients to develop personalized strategies focusing on nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, and lifestyle adjustments to optimize health and well-being. By combining the principles of functional medicine with coaching techniques, they empower individuals to take an active role in their health journey, guiding them towards sustainable lifestyle changes. These coaches often collaborate with other healthcare providers to provide comprehensive and integrative care for their clients.
