Behavior Lifestyle Changes

My Passion

At Functional Medicine Lifestyle, we are committed to guiding you through challenging lifestyle transitions, particularly those involving dietary changes, which can be especially daunting. Our approach combines personalized guidance, coaching, and educational support to empower you to make lasting adjustments and achieve your health objectives.

Using motivational interviewing and positive psychology techniques, we take a holistic approach to understand your unique needs and preferences. We integrate principles from the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM), focusing on lifestyle enhancements such as sleep, physical activity, stress management, relationships, environment, and personalized nutritional strategies.

Education is central to our mission — we encourage you to define your vision of “optimal” wellness and provide resources to help you attain it.

Our role is to listen, advocate, and collaborate with your healthcare team, ensuring you maintain control over your journey toward a healthier future. We can work with physicians to offer specialized testing if needed. Medical advice, diagnosis, and medical treatment are provided by licensed physicians. I work closely with your medical professionals to ensure comprehensive care if needed.

Hi, I'm Anisha

A bit about me: As a dedicated mother of two, supported by my loving husband, my journey into health coaching began with my child’s battle with chronic pancreatitis and other challenging conditions. From early diagnosis at age 3 to multiple complex surgeries throughout her childhood, our family experienced firsthand the complexities of managing chronic illness. These experiences gave me invaluable insights into effective treatments for a range of conditions, from islet cell transplants, removal of many organs leading to GI problems to diabetes to auto immune/hormone problems to chronic pain and neuroendocrine tumors. This led to nutrition deficiencies, chronic fatigue, requiring many other lifestyle changes to manage day to day life.

Inspired by the impact of functional medicine, integrative medicine, and lifestyle approaches on my child’s health, I transitioned into health coaching to empower others facing similar challenges. I collaborate closely with primary care providers to craft personalized health plans that align with each client’s needs and goals if needed. Together, we navigate towards optimal health through sustainable, self-directed changes rooted in wellness and holistic care.

Let’s work together to promote your health and wellness in alignment with your values and aspirations. I look forward to joining you on your path to better health.
