Functional Medicine Coaching: How to Be Part of the Movement That's Transforming Healthcare Paperback – 14 April 2017

I definetly will recommend this book.Have very empowering stories

good read

This book was interesting to read, but it’s essentially only presenting what functional medicine coaching is and that’s all. Like a brochure that should be provided for free in my opinion. It feels kind of of like marketing this coaching industry which isn’t bad, but it simply doesn’t feel like a “book” in this sense, but more as educational promotional material, if that makes sense. Hope I explained this ok!It was interesting to read, but nothing worth keeping in my opinion.

Very good book 📚

Leitura obrigatoria àqueles interessados em uma nova maneira de exercer a Medicina. A saude nao esta no consultorio, esta aonde o paciente vive, especialmente na sua cozinha

I love this book for so many reasons but mostly because it's getting the word out about what functional medicine is and how it IS the future of healthcare. If you read the stories in this book, you'll realize that every single one was a progression from chronic illness to vitality and wellness. Health coaches will be integral to this delivery model, giving patients who utilize them an edge to meeting their goals. If we're smart, adding nutrition professionals and health coaches to every single medical team would be a paradigm shift in the right direction. We need to switch from an illness based system to a wellness based system. This book covers all the important points about being a health coach, and why proper training is essential. Health coaches are a new key piece to solving our healthcare crisis. The patient centered healthcare of functional medicine can revolutionize our world. As a former critical care nurse, and a 10+ year cancer survivor, I speak from experience when I say Food Is Medicine.

As a coach with a love for all things health related, I found this book to be a great adjunct to my personal interests. Based on the book, I've enrolled in the year-long Functional Medicine Health Coaching program so I can add this skill to my coaching repertoire. The book and the personal stories help illustrate the power of Functional Medicine, something I studied during my nutrition specialization in my M.A. in Holistic Health program at JFK University. I firmly believe in two things: personalized medicine is the wave of the future, and meeting the client where they are as they begin to change their lifestyle is paramount to help them adopt practices prescribed by their functional medicine MD.If you are looking for a very useful overview filled with details on the coaching model, the power of functional medicine, and anecdotes from existing Functional Medicine MD's and coaches, I highly recommend this book to you. I found it educational and inspiring!

I love how clear and direct this book is. The authors describe what health coaches do and what a difference they can make by supporting clients to discover lifestyle changes to help them lead their best lives. This book is a lovely window into the theory and practical practice of health coaching. Enjoyable and inspirational reading.
