Alene Brennan is a certified nutrition coach, natural food chef, yoga instructor, and personal trainer who helps people with autoimmune disease heal through diet and lifestyle. Oh, and she has MS. And migraines. And she learned how to affect her chronic illness positively through diet and lifestyle - and now she helps others do the same through her coaching. She’s really an amazing person with a ton of passion to really help people. It was her tagline that first caught my attention: “less pharm more table!” I LOVE it! In this episode, Alene shares how she was diagnosed with MS in 2016 in the midst of helping her mother during the end stage of her cancer battle. After her mother passed, she turned her attention to her own battles with both MS and Migraines and found ways to mitigate the symptoms. She started by going to a conference and getting certified in Dr. Terry Wahl's Protocol, then expanded her repertoire to include the Autoimmune Protocol Diet certification. Yoga and nutrition coach certifications along with a certification as a natural food chef just added the final pieces to the puzzle and help her to serve her community - those of us with an autoimmune disease. Alene is not a purist in the sense of rejecting western medicine. On the contrary, she believes you need to do what's best for you and compliment each therapy with the other. Recognizing how valuable her knowledge and experience was, she started a 1:1 coaching business that embraces medication AND lifestyle upgrades to include: diet, exercise, supplementation, stress reduction and sleep enhancement. She has wonderful suggestions for each component of her plan and works to meet each client where they are in their journey - and then acts as both support and accountability partner. She does this right over the phone - no need to travel or leave your home. She stresses the importance of building resiliency and believes that which you focus on, gets bigger - so mindset is another component of her coaching that she brings to the table.
