AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

Everything is connected. When we cannot find answers to issues to improve our health in tradition ways its is important to look at the whole picture and embrace the whole body, not just the tissues involved.

So many times I’ve been told in my journy to feeling better by countless medical practitioners that “food does not matter”. Yet when I finally took matters into my own hands and addressed that area of my life all of the pieces of the puzzle fell into place in my life and I started healing by leaps and bounds.

I decided I needed to start sharing this with every chronic illness/chronic pain patient I see.

Food is medicine!

I am a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach as well as an Autoimmune Paleo Certified Coach who is honored to share my passion about health and wellness.  My personal health journey is what led me to the empowering field of health coaching. For years I suffered the effects of ovarian cysts, endometriosis, migraines, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, Epstein Barr virus, Lyme disease, adrenal fatigue and depression. When traditional methods of treatment only alleviated some of my symptoms, I began searching for answers to the root causes of my health conditions and am grateful for the transformation those changes have made and continue to make in my health journey. I understand the struggles that come with an autoimmune diagnosis and how AIP can be a game changer! Having personally benefited from the Autoimmune Protocol in addition to other lifestyle changes, I am excited to combine my knowledge and skills to help others embrace this approach that allows you to enjoy, experiment and achieve a level of balance while living with an autoimmune disease.

Hi there!! I’m Darolyn Lewis FNTP, CGP, Epidemic Answers Health Coach, and an AIP Certified coach. I help overwhelmed mothers implement and maintain a more nutritious lifestyle for their young child on the autism spectrum so that unwanted behaviors vanish, leaving them with a happy, healthy child.

I have had a passion for feeding kids proper nutrition for many years after being told that I had to make some significant changes in my son’s diet. I love helping parents understand the role that food plays in their children’s behaviors.

I am now on a mission to help as many parents as possible, with children on the spectrum, to gain a better quality of life by taking a nutritional approach.

Hello! My name is Živilė. My personal struggle with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and endometriosis led me to AIP and the benefits I gained from it motivated me to switch careers and become Functional Nutrition Counselor and AIP certified coach.

I believe it’s very important to use a compassionate, balanced approach and make specific recommendations based on each client’s particular circumstances. I like to remind clients that AIP is a “template” that we can work with to customize for you. I love to explain the “why’s” behind diet and lifestyle suggestions, but after you understand why they may be beneficial to you, I help you figure out how to turn it into a really joyful experience by learning about new tasty foods and carving out time to pamper yourself.

I’ll never forget hearing my doctor diagnose me with the autoimmune disease, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, after many years of increasing health struggles and hitting my rock bottom. I felt a surge of hope that FINALLY I held an answer, and could get my life back!

My hope lasted all of one minute until I heard words like “no cure,” “no medicine” I could take to fix it, “lifelong diagnosis,” and nothing I could do. I become a warrior that day.

I felt willing to do just about anything to feel better. Willing to do anything to not miss another of my son’s baseball games, be able to do a mud run with my daughter again, not have to rest after taking a shower, and not have to feel varying degrees of pain, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, and fevers every single day.

I understood I’d have to live with my autoimmune disease label for the rest of my life. But I refused to believe I’d have to live with my autoimmune disease symptoms for the rest of my life. I found a way of eating specifically designed for those with autoimmune disease: the autoimmune protocol (AIP).

The AIP helped me to not only feel better than I’d felt in years, but also to rebuild my life into something more beautiful than I imagined, But it didn’t come easy. Successfully adopting the AIP felt ALL kinds of hard to me! As a result, I decided I wanted to help others like me, which led me to becoming a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner as well as an AIP Certified Coach!

I LOVE guiding my fellow autoimmune warriors through the AIP nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset. If you feel so inspired, I’d feel so honored to be part of your team and help you find JOY while learning to live well with autoimmunity.

You and I did not choose this path, but we DO get to choose where we go from here. The rest of your life CAN be the BEST of your life. It’s up to you. Only YOU have the power to transform your life into something more beautiful than you imagined. I believe in you!

My name is Kristen Matthews. I am a Pilates expert, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), and wellness advocate, committed to helping you create your own healthy lifestyle. I started my company with the intention of providing people with the tools they need to feel physically, emotionally, and spiritually balanced. My goal is to help you feel more empowered through knowledge and support in order to become the strongest version of you.

My nutrition journey began when I found myself confronting a new and intensified health challenge, brought on partly from extreme stress. I suffered from debilitating fatigue, barely making it up the stairs to my apartment, not having the energy to do the dishes, and even crying at times from exhaustion. It was accompanied by a number of digestive issues, ranging from GERD to bloating to constipation, as well as a chronic sore throat and mysterious body rashes.

Along the way, I was given band-aid fixes and looks that said, “not really sure what to tell you,” rather than definitive answers. To discover the root cause, I was going to have to be my own advocate, do extensive research, and educate myself about the body, disease, and nutrition.

This is exactly what I did. In my case, the explanation was Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease related to the thyroid. But this experience opened my eyes to the physical, mental, and nutritional challenges that others face. It has deepened my understanding of what it means to be healthy, led me to become an NTP, and an AIP certified coach, and solidified my belief of the mind/body/spirit connection. It’s a dream to be able to work with people in all the ways I do.

He received his B.A. from Columbia University, and his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame. While in graduate school Robby was diagnosed with Graves’ disease (autoimmune hyperthyroidism), and it was the experience of naturally healing that condition that made him want to be a health coach full-time who could help others reclaim their health.

Robby thinks one of most powerful tools for reclaiming health is getting your lifestyle in order. This means adopting a healthy diet, getting adequate sleep, proper amounts of exercise, and lots of mindfulness/stress reduction.

Hi, I’m Simone Jamie, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Certified Autoimmune Protocol Coach. I support women and men diagnosed with autoimmune disease in their journey to reclaim their health. I have first-hand experience with autoimmune disease (Hashimotos) and it was once I started the Autoimmune Protocol and felt the improvements in my health as a result, that I became passionate to learn as much as I could to enable me to help and support others.

Also, my qualifications as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner allows me to use and assess functional lab tests to look for any hidden stressors or imbalances within the body and opportunities to improve health and function including hormone, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy production, nervous systems. This allows me to develop personalized health re-building programs to meet each client’s unique needs to improve function through diet, rest, exercise/movement, stress management and supplementation. Test don’t guess!

My aim is to support and empower you with the knowledge and tools to live as well as possible and I’ll help you each step of the way.
