Hi, I’m Penny.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a certified functional medicine health coach, I can’t tell you how many men and women I have spoken with who are approaching mid-life or are in the thick of it and can’t believe how poorly they feel every day. And they don’t know why!

 

They’re unmotivated to exercise.
 

Brain fog takes over.
 

Fatigue makes the days crawl by. Strong food cravings are overwhelming. Hormonal Imbalance

 

They’re gaining weight.
 

They live with allergies.
 

Poor digestion is causing stomach issues.
 

They haven’t had a decent night’s sleep in months.
 

They feel irritable and blue.
 

The persistent aches, inflammation, and pains are wearing down their mental health.

 

They want to change but aren’t sure they have the knowledge or tools to follow through. And even if they did, what if there’s doubt that their spouse or mate won’t be on board with a lifestyle health change?

 

Even though they don’t feel right, they’ve been told they’re “fine” because all lab work looks normal.

 

Can you relate?

 

I know what it’s like to be sick and not know what to do. In 2018, I had several health issues that challenged me physically, mentally, and spiritually. I did the hard work to implement healthier options in my life. My allergies, IBS, and dermatitis improved.

 

But then, in 2021, my hormones became imbalanced and out of hand. It was then I took control of my insomnia, hot flashes, allergy flare-ups, digestive issues, finding mold in my body, and hair loss. I got crucial help to figure out how I could begin feeling better through functional medicine, lab testing, and prayer to get to the root cause of my symptoms. It took a lot of work, prayer, and mindset changes.

 

Functional medicine produced such transformative results in my life and my body started to heal from the inside out. Because of that healing, I became passionate about helping others do the same. I became a certified health coach through Dr. Sears Wellness Institute and certified through IFM Institute for Functional Medicine. Now, through my health coaching business, Healthy and Wholesome, I guide others as they journey from diagnosis to transformation.

I believe God designed you and me to move our bodies, eat good food that fuels us, inspire others, be in relationship with God and others, and use our talents to serve others. I believe safeguarding our health allows you and me to fulfill our divine potential and serve others more effectively. Focusing on your gut and hormone health helps you take control of your health, versus it controlling you!

 

I love coming alongside women, men, or couples to get to the root cause of their symptoms. I will always meet you where you are in your health journey, with no judgment. My passion is to create a practical, sustainable, and realistic plan that empowers you! I do this by taking the time to really listen to you, so I can understand your history,  environment, and lifestyle as you turn the corner to a better life.

 

Not only are health, functional medicine, and nutrition my passions, I champion self-care too. I find many ways to take care of myself through self-care. Self-care for me is:

 

●  My family relationships

●  My relationship with God

●  Worshiping with my church sister and brothers in Christ

●  Serving at church

●  Being involved with a women's bible study group

●  Hobbies like hiking, gardening, cooking, canning, and freezing my produce

●  Spending time with my husband, children, grandchildren, and friends
