Many new health coaches struggle with how to stand out, build trust, and confidently begin working with clients, especially in the early stages of their certification. On today's episode, we're joined by Theresa Kasper, an Integrative Health Practitioner and former special education teacher, who shares how she's successfully blended her background in education with functional health coaching to create meaningful impact in just over a year. Theresa opens up about her personal healing journey with autoimmune symptoms, chronic fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies, and how discovering functional lab testing became the catalyst for both her recovery and her new career path. We discuss how she uses educational group workshops to break down overwhelm, reduce hesitation, and build powerful "like, know, and trust" within her community. Theresa also shares valuable insight for newer IHPs navigating imposter syndrome, comparison, and social media pressure. If you want to learn how to leverage workshops to grow your coaching practice, build trust quickly, and serve clients in a way that feels aligned and sustainable, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 427.

What happens when outward success no longer matches your inner truth?
Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today is a very special one — episode 200
Perimenopause doesn't have to feel like a mystery you're meant to “just push through.”This conversation explores what's really happening in midlife and why so many women feel stuck between symptoms and real solutions. I'm joined by integrative health practitioner Marnee Dejong as we unpack mold toxicity, gut dysfunction, mineral depletion, and why it's almost never “just one thing” during this phase.We talk about functional testing (GI-MAP, DUTCH, mineral analysis), the role of hormone replacement therapy, and the growing conversation around peptide therapy; what's helpful, what's hype, and what should make you pause. Most importantly, we break down why foundations come first, how to think strategically about advanced tools, and how to advocate for your health without getting swept up in trends.If midlife feels louder than it used to, this conversation will steady you. Listen now.

This is one of the most common questions health coaches ask, and the truth is, there's no universal right answer. Showing prices or keeping them off your site can both work, or quietly hurt your practice, depending on your business model. In this episode, I break down when listing prices builds trust and efficiency, and when it actually commoditizes your work and lowers conversions. We also cover when a conversation-first model makes more sense, especially for personalized, lab-based, or long-term programs. The real question isn't "Should I show my prices?" it's "How busy and I right now, and what decision do I want my website to make before I speak with a potential client?" This episode will help you choose the right strategy for your stage, not someone else's.

Many health coaches feel anxious or guilty when it comes time to charge for their services, but what if undercharging is actually hurting both you and your clients? On today's show, Julia Hayes explores why pricing often feels uncomfortable for empathic, service-driven coaches, and how doing work for free or charging too little can undermine trust, commitment, and long-term transformation. We explore the internal stories many coaches hold around money, self-worth, and the belief that support should not involve a meaningful financial exchange. I also go over how these beliefs shape the coaching relationship, and why undercharging often leads to burnout, weak boundaries, and low client commitment, while a balanced exchange allows both coach and client to fully show up, grow, and create sustainable results. Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 425 to learn how creating an energetically aligned fee structure supports your well-being, strengthens client outcomes, and allows your business to grow without burnout.

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we're diving into a topic that so many women are confused about but deeply affected by: perimenopause. I'm joined by the amazing mother-daughter duo, Candace and Jess from Your Hormone Balance, and we're breaking down what perimenopause actually is, why it can start earlier than most women expect, and how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation play a huge role in hormone imbalances, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and more. This episode is especially for you if you're in your 30s or 40s, feeling "off" in your body, struggling with sleep, energy, anxiety, or changes in your cycle - and being told everything is "normal." Here's what we chat about: What perimenopause really is (and why it's an 8–10 year transition, not a single moment) The early signs of perimenopause, including changes in your cycle, mood, sleep, and energy Why progesterone is often the first hormone to decline — and how that impacts anxiety, PMS, and stress tolerance How chronic stress, overworking, under-eating, and people-pleasing disrupt ovulation and hormone balance The connection between nervous system dysregulation and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and low libido Why so many women are estrogen dominant — and how stress drives that imbalance The importance of hormone testing (and why symptoms alone don't tell the full story) Simple, realistic nervous system practices to lower cortisol and support healing Breathwork techniques like the "physiological sigh" to calm anxiety in real time Everyday vagus nerve tools: humming, singing, grounding, and gentle movement How boundaries, asking for help, and reducing people-pleasing can literally improve your hormones Why heavy, painful, or irregular periods are not something you should ignore The role of protein, nourishment, and avoiding extremes with exercise and caffeine This episode is such a powerful reminder that your body isn't broken; it's responding to the life you're living. And with the right tools, support, and awareness, you can move through perimenopause feeling calmer, stronger, more regulated, and more in tune with your body. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Many high-performing entrepreneurs push through fatigue, burnout, and declining health without realizing how deeply it's impacting their business, relationships, and long-term success. On today's episode, we're joined by Eric Lofholm, business coach and entrepreneur, who shares how restoring his own health became the turning point not only for his energy and focus, but for the way he shows up as a leader and coach. Eric opens up about navigating exhaustion while running a business, what led him to work with an Integrative Health Practitioner, and how rebuilding his health reshaped his beliefs around productivity, consistency, and sustainable success. He explains why authentic visibility is one of the most powerful ways health coaches and entrepreneurs can grow their business, build trust, and attract aligned clients. We also discuss overcoming fear of rejection, reframing outreach as service, and why accountability, long-term client relationships, and belief in your ability to help others matter more than perfect messaging or credentials.

Longevity is no longer about living longer — it's about living better for longer. Clients aren't necessarily just coming to you asking how to lose weight fast anymore. They're asking how to stay sharp, energetic, mobile, and disease-free for decades. That shift turns longevity into a powerful business engine. It creates recurring demand instead of one-off fixes, longer client relationships, higher lifetime value, and far more predictable income for health coaches who understand where the industry is going. Massive capital is flowing into metabolic health, cognition, heart disease, and cancer prevention. Labs, AI, and personalization are becoming the entry point to care, while prevention replaces treatment and inside-out health becomes the new standard. The coaches who will win won't sell outcomes — they'll sell guidance. They'll help clients adapt as their bodies change, interpret signals and labs, and build health strategies that compound over time. For all the details tune into today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 422 on how longevity health coaching is topping 8 trillion in consumer spend! - - - Listen or Watch At: IHP.Coach/422 - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

In this episode, Melissa Berry sits down with Jen Delvaux, breast cancer survivor and Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, to explore a practical, sustainable approach to resetting your lifestyle after breast cancer without burnout or overwhelm. Jen shares her personal story and the lessons she's learned about real healing after treatment.

What happens when your body starts changing in ways no one prepared you for—and pushing through stops working? In episode 244 of Joy Found Here, integrative health practitioner Dyna Vink joins Stephanie for a candid conversation about perimenopause, menopause, and the hidden ways they impact women's health and confidence. Drawing from her own 13-year journey, Dyna shares why this often-misunderstood life stage can become a powerful turning point rather than something to simply endure.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(3:18) A turning point sparked by caregiving and loss(4:51) Leaving corporate life to choose purpose(6:38) Thirteen years of unexplained perimenopause symptoms(8:54) What integrative testing uncovers beyond bloodwork(12:08) How hormones affect focus, mood, and confidence(15:04) Why women quietly exit careers in midlife(16:16) The four pillars of midlife health and balance(26:05) The gut–hormone–inflammation connection(38:45) Mindset shifts that unlock reinvention(44:18) One simple habit to start the new yearDyna Vink is a certified Integrative Health Practitioner and the founder of Holistic Nutrition Lifestyle, supporting women through perimenopause and midlife health transitions. After leaving a high-powered corporate career in tech marketing, she retrained in integrative and functional health following her own 13-year struggle with unexplained symptoms. Her approach focuses on uncovering root causes through lifestyle strategies and functional medicine testing rather than quick fixes. Now based in Panama, she works virtually with women worldwide, helping them restore balance, resilience, and long-term vitality.In this episode, Dyna reframes perimenopause and menopause as signals to listen more closely to the body, not phases to simply endure. She explains how hormonal shifts affect the entire system—from gut health and sleep to mood, cognition, and confidence—and why many women feel unseen by traditional approaches. Dyna shares how integrative testing can reveal hidden imbalances and outlines four essential pillars—nutrition, sleep, movement, and mindset—that support women through midlife. Her message is clear and practical: advocate for your health, trust your body's wisdom, and use this season as an opportunity to redefine what well-being looks like moving forward.Connect with Dyna Vink:LinkedInHolistic Nutrition LifestyleYouTubeFacebookFacebook Group: Perimenopause Relief Let's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Many parents feel overwhelmed and isolated when their child is struggling with developmental delays or autism spectrum challenges, especially when traditional approaches offer limited answers. On today's episode, we're joined by Winnie Odhiambo, an Integrative Health Practitioner and retired U.S. Air Force Major, who supports parents of children on the autism spectrum through functional medicine and nervous system regulation. Winnie shares her personal journey from burnout and "normal" lab results to discovering functional medicine, and how her son's developmental regression led her to pursue advanced training so she could become an active part of his healing team. She explains how addressing underlying imbalances through functional lab testing, gut health support, nutrition, and primitive reflex integration helped her son regain communication, sensory tolerance, and confidence.

Most health coaches believe that growing a successful practice means constantly posting on social media, chasing algorithms, and staying "visible" every day. But the truth is, the most stable and scalable coaching practices aren't built on content volume, they're built on systems. In this episode, we break down how to create a simple, predictable client pipeline that works for you even if you haven't mastered social media posting. You'll learn why social media is an optional amplifier, not a requirement, and how to shift from attention-based marketing to relationship-based growth. We walk through the core pillars of a sustainable client pipeline: • A clear outcome-driven offer that speaks directly to one ideal client • A small number of proven entry points that consistently bring in warm leads • A simple conversion process that turns conversations into long-term clients If you want to stop feeling like you're "behind" because you're not posting daily, and instead build a practice that fills through clarity, credibility, and connection this episode gives you the exact mindset and framework to do it.

Many coaches feel burnt out or stuck creating content, but what if the real issue isn't strategy at all, it's misalignment with your mission? On today's show, Julia Hayes explores why showing up in your business can feel heavy and exhausting when you're performing instead of leading from an authentic, mission-driven place. She breaks down how clarity around who you're here to help, what problem you're emotionally connected to solving, and why it matters transforms content creation, visibility, and even selling into a more natural and effortless process. You'll learn why clients connect to honesty over perfection, how your lived experience builds trust and credibility, and how alignment turns marketing into service rather than self-promotion. Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 419 to learn how reconnecting with your authentic mission can reduce burnout, increase impact, and help your business grow with clarity, confidence, and ease.

Today, I want to talk to you about the power of a love bra or a love cape.

Another thing that causes stress on our body over the holiday season, is the fact that we tend to be drinking more alcohol than usual again because there are so many social events.About the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner helping people get to the root cause of their health issues.

Many women feel frustrated with their health not because they're doing something wrong, but because they've been disconnected from trusting their own bodies for far too long. On today's episode, we're joined by Catie Perkins, an Integrative Health Practitioner who uses functional medicine lab testing to help women rebuild self-trust and understand what their bodies have been communicating all along. Catie shares how reframing lab results as evidence of the body's resilience, not failure, can be a powerful catalyst for healing, especially for women who have felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or stuck despite "doing everything right." She also explains how chronic stress, overgiving, and hyper-discipline can show up on labs, impact the nervous system, and keep women trapped in survival mode and why compassion, curiosity, and individualized support are essential for true recovery. If you want to learn how to use functional labs to empower clients, validate their experiences, and support deeper, more sustainable healing, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 417.

One of the stresses on our bodies during the holiday season is food. That could be because you have food intolerances, and you're eating out a lot and you're not in control of your food intake because it's being made by other people. Maybe it's just the sheer volume of food because there are tons of baking tons of invitations, et cetera, et cetera. So how do you better manage the intake of food over the holidays and be more in control?About the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner helping people get to the root cause of their health issues.

Most health coaches believe they need nonstop marketing, packed schedules, and dozens of weekly clients to make a real living. In this episode, I break down why that belief is misguided and how a simple, structured model can generate $75,000+ per year working just one focused day a week. You'll learn the exact math behind seeing three clients per week (twelve per month), why consistency beats volume, and how a clean, professional coaching offer creates better results for both you and your clients. We cover: What to price your new packages at How to structure a monthly coaching program without overcomplicating it Why three clients per week is the sweet spot for impact and burnout prevention Simple ways to consistently find 12 monthly clients How to design a one-day-a-week coaching schedule that actually works I also address what really holds most coaches back—overthinking pricing, chasing confidence instead of reps, and trying to do too much at once. I close with a simple challenge: Pick your coaching day. Set your price. Aim for adding one new client this week. This episode is for coaches who want freedom, impact, and sustainability without sacrificing their health or their life.

Many coaches focus on giving answers, but what if the real key to transformation lies in asking the right questions instead? On today's show, Julia explores the art of asking powerful questions and how the right prompts can open the door to deeper reflection, identity shifts, and lasting change in your clients. She breaks down four specific types of questions that help clients uncover their own insight rather than being directed toward a solution and shares how this approach strengthens autonomy, builds trust, and leads to more meaningful breakthroughs. Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 415 to learn how mastering thoughtful, well-crafted questions can elevate your coaching practice and help clients reach new levels of awareness and transformation.

Most coaches know their clients need more than generic advice, but few realize how dramatically advanced at-home lab testing can transform their practice.

You'll discover: The monthly content rhythm that keeps you visible, relevant, and in-demand without burning out The 6 core systems every coach needs in place before January 1st How to create weekly accountability loops so you always know what to post, what to send, and what to focus on The three-part messaging formula that turns your story, your expertise, and your mission into magnetic client attraction Why most coaches "float" through the year — and how to fix that with a simple 90-day planning cadence The exact workflow we taught at IHP Live that shows you how to run your entire practice from one organized weekly dashboard How to align your purpose, schedule, and client experience so your business finally supports your life, not the other way around This isn't theory. It's the real blueprint — the one that hundreds of coaches saw live, took notes on, and are already implementing. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a step-by-step structure for 2026 that eliminates overwhelm, simplifies your decisions, and sets you up to grow your practice with clarity and confidence.
