Originally Recorded on Monday, August 7th, 2023

Enjoy the recording of this 60-minute webinar with Dr. Deanna Minich, Chief Science Officer at Symphony Natural Health, as she discussed the ways that health coaches can enter into the hormone conversation with their clients through the “communication” node on the Functional Medicine matrix.

Objectives for this were to help attendees:

  • Understand the endocrine circuit and hormones they produce from a functional medicine perspective
  • Learn how to address hormone imbalances through physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects

Stand out in your career as a Health Coach

explore FMCA

Part behavior change specialist, part supportive mentor, and part wellness educator, the Functional Medicine Health Coach is the bridge between what the client knows they need to do to be healthy, and the motivation to create lasting change.

Functional Medicine Health Coaches don't give advice or prescribe treatments. Instead, they use their unique skills to cultivate personal responsibility so clients can tap into their innate strengths and self-efficacy to discover their full potential.

Great coaches fully listen to their clients and offer support, accountability, collaboration, education, and resources. While prior training in another healthcare discipline can be helpful, you don’t need a background in healthcare in order to become a first-rate Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach.
