COACHING
You've been handed a health plan by your health care practitioner...
Now what?
​
It's ok.
The "what" and the "why" can seem overwhelming.
This is where a health coach helps you break that all down into bite size chunks so you don't lose time feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start and can get on with your journey of health and happiness.

Functional Medicine Certified Health Coaches help their clients to identify their optimal vision of health, clarify the reasons this vision is important and support patients/clients in making wellness related decisions and implementing sustainable lifestyle change into daily routines.
The techniques employed by health coaches empower patients/clients to be engaged in the trajectory of their health journey as active participants.
What does a functional medicine health coach NOT do?
Health coaches do not replace your doctor or therapist. We do not diagnose, treat or prescribe for medical conditions.
FMCHCs are the only health coaches trained in collaboration with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) through a
curriculum fully approved by the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC).
​
FMCHCs can pair with most health care providers that are encouraging patients to make lifestyle changes to improve health outcomes.
​
FMCHCs are trained in a functional medicine curriculum, using tools from the Institute for Functional Medicine toolkit.
​
Adaptogenesis 1:1 functional medicine health coaching is available in tandem with Adaptogenesis Functional Nutrition consulting, independent of these programs and for clients who are the patients of other providers*.
