Can a Health Coach Save Your Thyroid with Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

“Lifestyle should be the first line before you consider anything else.” - Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

With less than 7% of adult Americans considered to be metabolically healthy, people are suffering like never before. Chronic diseases and neurodegenerative conditions are on the rise, and mental health is on the decline. At the same time, there’s a significant shortage of providers equipped to help with these conditions.

The good news is that this is where health coaches can step in and make a massive difference. Today, I’m excited to be joined by Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, who trains people to become Functional Medicine health coaches and helps practitioners and businesses hire them. Dr. Sandi believes health coaches are vital to combating chronic disease and reducing healthcare costs. As founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, a collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine, Dr. Sandi is a leader in the field of health coaching education.

In this conversation, Dr. Sandi and I discuss the role of health coaches in managing chronic conditions and thyroid health, Dr. Sandi’s career journey and why she founded the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, the scope of health coaching and how it differs from a medical provider, the importance of individualized treatment protocols, collaboration between health coaches and medical professionals, mind-body medicine techniques, and more.
