What Is It Like to Work with a
Functional Medicine Coach?

work with a functional medicine practitioner

 

Have you ever felt like something is “off” with your health, but no one seems to have real answers? Maybe you’re tired all the time, dealing with stubborn health issues, or just not feeling your best.

Instead of guessing or trying quick fixes, Shannon at Intentional Wellness, Inc. can help you get to the root of what’s going on. With functional medicine coaching, you’ll get a plan made just for you—one that actually fits your life and helps you feel better for the long run.

What Makes This Different?

Most healthcare follows a one-size-fits-all approach:

 Take this pill for that symptom.
 Eat this diet because it worked for someone else.
 Keep trying things until something sticks.

But you are unique—your body, your history, and your needs are all different. That’s why functional medicine coachingis so powerful. It focuses on you as a whole person instead of just your symptoms.

What Happens When You Work with Shannon?

Step 1: Understanding YOU

✔ A deep dive into your health history, lifestyle, and concerns.
✔ Looking at patterns—what might be triggering your symptoms?
✔ Identifying possible root causes like stress, diet, sleep, or hidden toxins.

Step 2: Creating Your Personal Health Plan

✔ Simple, practical steps tailored just for you.
✔ Nutrition changes to help your body heal and thrive. (Don’t worry—it won’t be overwhelming, and we’ll work together to find what’s best for you!)
✔ Supplements when needed, to help fill in gaps left by modern food production. (Think of these as tools to support your body, not a long list of pills to take forever!)
✔ Lifestyle shifts that fit your daily routine and make a real difference.

Step 3: Ongoing Support & Adjustments

✔ We’ll meet a couple of times a month to keep you on track and answer your questions in a timely way.
✔ Regular check-ins to track progress and make changes as needed.
✔ Encouragement so you stay motivated and don’t feel alone on your journey.

What Makes Functional Medicine Coaching So Powerful?

💡 It’s Not Just About Fixing Symptoms – We focus on what’s causing them.

💡 It’s Personalized for You – Your health plan is made just for your body and lifestyle.

💡 It’s a Whole-Body Approach – Everything is connected—your food, stress, sleep, and environment all matter.

💡 It’s About Long-Term Wellness – Small changes lead to lasting results.

💡 It’s Easy to Understand – You’ll learn about the complex systems in your body in a way that makes sense, without overwhelming medical language.

What Can You Expect?

You might be wondering:

🔹 How often will we meet?
After your initial consultation, we’ll meet twice a month to keep you on track and make sure you get answers when you need them.

🔹 Will I have to change my diet?
For most people, yes, because diet plays a huge role in health. But don’t worry—we’ll make changes step by step in a way that works for you.

🔹 Will I have to take supplements?
Sometimes, yes. Even with a healthy diet, modern farming has stripped many nutrients from our food. Supplements can help restore balance and give your body what it needs to heal. But you won’t be overloaded with unnecessary pills!

🔹 How long does it take to see results?
Every person is different, but many people start noticing positive changes in just a few weeks!
