What is coaching and how does it work?
Coaching is one-on-one in this program and creates space for you to safely explore and release blocks, fears, doubts and limitations without judgement. As a coach my role is to listen actively and support you as you move through the program in the way that makes the most sense and feels most empowering to you.
Why is coaching included in the program?
In order to create lasting positive change we humans need community, guidance and support as well as accountability. Coaching throughout the program provides this framework for lasting success.
How do you collect additional data to create a personal program?
Once we get together to review your health history and goals, I usually recommend one or two labs to collect the additional information we need to create your plan.
Are labs included in the program cost?
No. Labs are not included in the program. Lab recommendations are provided to you directly for you to purchase.
How much do labs cost?
Lab costs can vary quite a bit, depending on the type of data and how much we need to collect. In this program there are no additional fees added for ordering or reviewing labs.
How do lab kits work?
Once ordered lab kits are delivered directly to you by mail. Once received follow the included directions for home collection samples. If your lab requires a blood draw I will coordinate that service for you with a phlebotomist in my office. You also have the option of having the phlebotomist come to your home for the collection.
What happens after I complete my lab kit?
After completion of the lab collection your kit is mailed to the lab for analysis. Results are usually ready within 10-14 days. Your first monthly call will be a review of the lab report along with your diet and lifestyle recommendations.
How often do I need to run labs?
Generally, we run labs at the beginning to create a baseline, then again at the end (in 4 months) to check results. Some labs only need to be run once however, so this is a general guideline.
Are nutritional supplements included?
Nutritional supplements are not included in the program. They are often recommended to support the changes you are making. Recommendations are made based on the data collected. Most supplements are not necessary for extended use and are monitored with follow-up labs and other health data.
