Functional medicine health coaches fill this critical gap, providing accountability, education, and personalized guidance to help patients achieve better outcomes.

    This episode specifically addresses how functional medicine health coaching can improve the lives of patients with Parkinson’s Disease, a condition where environmental toxins, gut health, and metabolic imbalances all play significant roles.

    • The link between gut health, constipation, and neurodegenerative diseases
    • How chronic inflammation, toxic exposures, and nutrient deficiencies contribute to Parkinson’s Disease
    • Why collaboration between health coaches, physicians, and other licensed providers leads to better patient outcomes
    • Bonus: How toxic personal care products, cooking surfaces, and household chemicals silently impact brain health and chronic disease risk
