Lisa Renee Health Coaching

So what's my story? Everybody has one, right? Right. Here's mine...

My path to health coaching was a circuitous one. Six years ago, my 48 year old sister Daniele died from colon cancer. She received a stage IV diagnosis and a year later she was gone, a mere shell of her former self. It was especially alarming because we both lead pretty healthy lives. Or so we thought. Luckily, all my tests were clear. However, that lead me to re-think my relationship with food.

From that moment on, trips to the grocery store weren't just trips to the grocery store; they became discovery missions. Nothing went into my cart unless it was organic and nothing went into the cart unless I knew what every ingredient was, and the ingredients were healthy. My learning curve was steep, but so was my mission.

Then, several years later on the first day of school (English teacher here), my husband goes to the doctor for what he thinks is a bad cold, and ends up in the Cardiac ICU for three months. Yes, you read that right. While I have spelled out the details of that saga in my upcoming book titled "Unplugged," here's a spoiler alert - he lives!!

But...you cannot begin to imagine the healthcare nightmare that ensued. NO ONE talked to us about the root cause of his medical issues. NO ONE talked to us about dietary needs and changes for him. NO ONE talked to us about how to prevent this from happening again. It was just unbelievable.

I knew then and there that I was going to do everything I could to learn about health, nutrition, and how the human body functions. The results of that search was my becoming a Health Coach. My life's goals now are to help as many people as I can become their best selves, and to keep my family as healthy as possible!

My training took me to the Integrated Nutrition Institute, where I studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. With my knowledge, we co-create completely personalized actions based on your goals to move you toward your ideal vision of health within your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and resources.
