VIRTUAL FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CARE IN UTAH

Hey!! — I’m Rachel, your Salt Lake City Health Coach.

I’m a functional medicine and holistic health coach that partners with a network of clinicians to provide lab testing, treatment plans, supplement protocols, and health coaching to those struggling with thyroid, gastrointestinal, hormone concerns, and autoimmune conditions. 

Whether you’re struggling with thyroid-related symptoms that your doctor brushes off, ongoing gut problems that are getting worse, unmanaged symptoms from an autoimmune condition, or just know that something is off I am here to dig deeper with you to find the root cause.

Using a holistic and functional medicine approach, my goal is to empower you to take your health into your own hands.

Areas of Practice

  • Hair loss, cold hands/feet, weight gain, chronic fatigue, dry skin, brain fog, nervousness, anxiety, and heart flutters could be signs of a thyroid issue. Even if you are on a thyroid medication you are still at risk of developing these symptoms. Most MDs only test TSH levels which is NOT the full picture. Let’s take a functional approach to boost and enhance thyroid function.

  • Bloating, gas, food sensitivities, IBS, acid reflux, painful digestion, constipation, loose stool, I’ve heard it all. Let’s take a deeper look at what bacteria, parasites, fungi, or viruses that could be lurking in your GI system and get things back into balance to achieve symptomless eating.

  • What’s better: high-carb or low-carb? Does fat make me gain weight? How much exercise is too little? too much? Do I have to do cardio? Do I need to cut out sugar/gluten/dairy? Should I try keto? Do I need to take supplements?

    It’s a scary world out there, let’s get it straight. You can eat what you want and feel good!! If you don’t believe me… let’s talk.

  • Excess facial hair, acne, hair loss, low libido, vaginal dryness, intense period cramps, 60-day cycles, anxiety, mood swings, infertility, breast soreness, fatigue, or weight gain are just SOME of the signs that something could be wrong with your hormonal balance and/or menstrual cycle.

  • Are you looking to prevent diabetes, fix insulin resistance, or increase your energy? Let’s take a personalized approach to target symptoms such as energy fluctuations, mood swings, and sugar cravings. Through tailored nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and continuous support, let's work together to dissolve symptoms.

  • Need help managing an autoimmune condition? Let’d work together to improve your diet and lifestyle to avoid a laundry list of medications and prevent other autoimmune conditions.

WHAT IS A HEATH COACH?

According to the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC), a health coach is “a trained professional who partners with individuals or groups in a client-centered process to facilitate and empower the client to achieve self-determined goals related to health and wellness.”

Health coaches support their clients in making sustainable lifestyle changes by helping them develop their own strengths, resources, and self-efficacy.

They use evidence-based strategies, motivational interviewing techniques, and behavior change theories to foster the client's motivation, commitment, and accountability in achieving their health goals.

Health coaches work collaboratively with clients to address various dimensions of health, including physical, emotional, social, occupational, and spiritual well-being, and they adhere to ethical standards and guidelines in their practice.

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

Functional medicine differs from conventional medicine, while conventional medicine often focuses on treating symptoms and diseases with medication, functional medicine aims to address the root causes of health issues.

“Conventional,” “Western",” and “Traditional” medicine = Modern American healthcare.

In functional medicine, practitioners in Utah consider the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the unique biochemistry of each individual.

One significant distinction lies in the interpretation of lab work ranges. Conventional medicine typically relies on standard reference ranges based on the general population, including individuals with varying degrees of health.

On the other hand, functional medicine often utilizes optimal lab ranges from healthy individuals, allowing for a more precise evaluation of health status tailored to an individual's unique needs.

This personalized approach in functional medicine emphasizes preventive measures, lifestyle modifications, and a holistic understanding of the patient's well-being.

You may also hear the term “holistic” health… here’s what that means":

Holistic Health = an approach to healthcare that considers the whole person—body, mind, spirit, and emotions—in the pursuit of optimal well-being.The core principle of holistic health is the interconnectedness of these various aspects, recognizing that one's physical health is influenced by mental, emotional, and spiritual factors, and vice versa.

What Clients Are Saying:

  • Kiley S.

    I was feeling extremely sick and dizzy constantly when I started with Rachel. She was able to help me feel so much better through diet and a few supplements. Super grateful I found her when I did! She knows her stuff!

  • Teddi B.

    Rachel is very passionate about helping others in reaching their health goals. My experience with her was wonderful. She created a space where I felt completely comfortable with my self. She helped me loose weight through nutrition and was beyond helpful and informative when I needed it. She is kind and non judgmental. She made me feel safe and confident . She is knowledgeable and always prompt when I reach out to her.

  • Brandy w.

    Rachel helped me with my diet and supplement needs in such an awesome way. I have a much better idea how to focus on healing my gut after celiac diagnosis. She is fantastic!

  • Lisa G.

    Working with Rachel has allowed me to take hold of the reigns in life, again. I had spent my whole life with pretty poor knowledge regarding healthy foods, mental health, etc... And winging it only lasted so long. I was miserable. I felt sick everyday and the Drs always told me I was fine. I knew I wasn't but didn't know WHY. After working with Rachel I discovered some food intolerances and allergies I never knew I had that was just wrecking my gut, my MOOD and my skin. I discovered stress relief activities for ME that actually WORKED. I developed a working, lasting routine. But most importantly, I found community, I found a support system. I'm on a journey of health and I'm never going back. As a person, Rachel is one of the most knowledgeable, professionally fun, on top of her shiz person I've met. When I couldn't hold it together, she followed me with the pieces until I was able to put them together again. I owe you a whole lot, Rachel, and my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

    Rachel has been an amazing coach to work with and was extremely helpful! I would highly recommend working with her

  • Melissa P.

    I have loved working with Rachel and send her information to anyone I know who is looking for help with their health. Hormones, blood work, etc. She’s so easy to work with. After my initial blood work came back I was able to implement small changes and wow. What a difference in how I felt. I know I could get blood work done anywhere but I loved how thorough it was and how available she was for follow up questions.
