For most of us, the extraordinary time in history we are currently living in is not how we imagined it would be. Our lives and the world around us have become much more stressful than ever before for many different reasons and on many different levels, and that stress can manifest in various ways

Identifying the main causes of our stress can assist us in unravelling the effects they may be having not only on our health, but also on our environment and, most importantly of all, on our loved one’s lives. But, when we’re in the midst of trying to navigate all that surrounds us, gaining insight into the situation, or having the ability to see where the problems lie, is often not that easy to do

That’s where working with a trained and experienced Life (Strategy) Coach who has the skills and toolbox to guide and assist you on all of those levels, is the perfect way to achieve that insight

Gaining clarity into what those main stressors are and what their underlying cause is, is the necessary first and most important step towards controlling or mitigating their effects. Next, understanding how to best navigate the day-to-day stressors you are encountering in your life and learning how to develop clear strategies and easily utilized self-management tools that you can call upon and implement as and when needed, is essential. These skills will provide you with the basic toolbox needed to help you not only cope better with your life on a daily basis, but will also help you control the effects that your stressors are inflicting on your health, and your overall wellness

Your Coach then becomes your “Guide on the side,” and you now have the ability to be in control of how you manage the effects of your once stressful life.

When meeting for the first time, a Functional Health Systems (FHS) Medicine Practitioner (or Innate Immunity Practitioner) will sit down with you and begin by gently uncovering the “Why’s” to your reason for being there through learning your “story”

Understanding your individual story is extremely important because through time and experience, FHS Medicine Practitioners have learned that a myriad of symptoms are the body’s “cries for help”, and your story helps to identify which of your systems is causing those symptoms through not operating optimally, or by acting dysfunctionally

Given the best circumstances, the human body is very cleverly designed to heal itself through its Innate Immune System but once a maladjusted Immune System occurs, it requires Practitioner knowledge to first identify a plan, and then address any dysfunction and underlying health issues step by step

Once it is established what and where these initial issues are and what is needed for you to re-build your health, a plan can be created and from there, the best protocols or steps that will enable you to support your body’s needs, and meet your personal requirements, will be outlined. Your Innate Immune system becomes supported functionally; allowing it to re-build your health gently from the cellular level up while at the same time any environmental, emotional, and movement issues will become highlighted, included in the healing process, and addressed. Your journey towards regaining optimal health and wellness can then begin
