2 Rebeccas are better than one

My husband may disagree😂

I am posting today to announce an exciting partnership that will expand my offerings as a health coach.

I now have access to more options for Functional Medicine testing if my clients need it!

To be clear, I do NOT believe that everyone requires testing or that testing is all that is needed to get a clear picture of someone's health. 

Being trained in Functional Medicine and Functional Nutrition, I always start with a food and lifestyle first approach vs. relying on numbers or values from a lab test. You are more than your lab values, and a coach that relies solely on those is not practicing functionally.

BUT, there are times when we have done all the foundation work, and there is still a piece missing. That's when I will lean toward testing for clients.
 

I now have multiple ways that I can help my clients gain the insight they need to overcome their chronic health issues.

My newest partnership is with another coach who is an Integrative Health Practitioner(IHP) with specialized training in functional medicine testing. Her name is Rebecca Flack and she runs Rebecca Flack Wellness. 

So in addition to my current partnerships with 

✅Ixcela Wellness: Microbiome metabolite testing

✅Microbiome Labs: BiomeFx stool testing 

✅Rupa Health(with physician oversight): Multiple tests available including salivary cortisol 

My partnership with Rebecca fills in the gaps where I don't have the knowledge or experience interpreting the tests like she does(this will be my next endeavor!!) 

With this arrangement, the client and I decide together if further testing could be beneficial and Rebecca will order and interpret the tests. The test results will be sent to my client and to me, and she will provide a results review with the client. I am still in the picture as the coach, to help implement and oversee the recommendations that she makes based on the test results. As with any test results, this is just a snapshot of a moment in time, and we need to take caution to not just treat the numbers on a piece of paper, but consider YOU as a whole. 

I am beyond excited to offer this to my existing and future clients and have just one more tool in my toolbox to help you thrive.
