AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

Hi friend, thanks for stopping by! I am a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Restorative Wellness Practitioner, AIP Certified Coach, Licensed Esthetician, speaker and autoimmune warrior that specializes in G.I. heath and chronic illness. I am also a Tactical Resiliency & Subconscious De-escalation Coach that helps those with PTSD heal from their trauma using the Trauma Resiliency-Protocol (TR-P) & Emotions Management Process (EMP).

What does that even mean?! I help you rewire your brain and nervous system through a series of guided visualizations to help get you out of the sympathetic trauma response of “fight or flight” where disease thrives, and into the parasympathetic state of “rest and digest” so that you can heal emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Did you know that those with chronic illness tend to have a high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) score? Have you been exposed to a traumatic event that you still have an emotional reaction to when you think about it? On a scale 0-10, with 10 being very intense & 0 being no emotion at all, where are you? If there was a way to get that high number down to a 0 or 1, would it interest you? The best part is you don’t have to talk about what happened!

By using the TR-P, EMP, nutritional therapy and ancestral wisdom, we can support the body in healing to attain true health and reverse many diseases. I’ve made it my mission in life to help other chronic illness warriors get their health back by teaching them the importance of nutrition, environmental toxins, stress management, mental health, trauma recovery and advocating for themselves with their doctor. I believe that reclaiming your health must be a holistic approach with addressing the mind, body and spirit.

Hi, I’m Mimi!

I am a Certified Health Coach, AIP Certified Coach and Certified Pilates Instructor. I know firsthand what it feels like to struggle with an autoimmune disease, as I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2017. I spent years in and out of flares, with multiple hospital stays, seeing doctor after doctor, just trying to find someone who could help me. I always knew food and lifestyle could play a tremendous role in one’s health, however, it wasn’t until I found AIP that I understood how profoundly it could affect my autoimmune disease. This diet and lifestyle is something that has truly changed my life for the better, and I honestly don’t know where I’d be without it. After learning about and applying AIP in my own life, I knew I wanted to share this work with my clients. I view it as both a privilege and a responsibility, to help others experience the same benefits from this protocol that I have experienced in my own journey.

I currently work 1-on-1 with clients and offer custom programs that are tailored to each client’s individual needs.
Please feel free to reach out to me through through text or email for more information or to schedule your complimentary consultation. I know how hard it is to navigate the complexities of autoimmune disease on your own, and you deserve to have the support and guidance from someone who’s been through it.

I firmly believe that nutrition is key to managing our overall health. While my background is on the physical side: physiotherapist, Body Stress Release practitioner and swim coach, the diagnosis of two autoimmune conditions 10 years ago led me down a path of discovery which ended up at nutrition and specifically the Autoimmune Protocol, which has been a game changer for me. Through my own experience, I believe it is possible to reduce and even remove certain chronic medication by making the correct lifestyle and dietary adjustments.

Hi, I’m Chrissy. I was diagnosed with my first autoimmune condition in 2016. A friend introduced me to the AIP diet and I was excited to try it. As I shared this with my doctor, he said, “what you eat doesn’t matter.” And that moment sparked the interest to learn about nutrition and how it impacts our health. In working with clients, I meet you where you are. I want to help you make changes that are long lasting. I look forward to being a part of your healing team. Along with my nutrition. training, I am also a certified yoga teacher. Healthy living is truly holistic; diet is important, but so is a balanced life. I will work with you on stress, sleep and relaxation along with nutrition.

Robby Gustin, PhD, FDN-P, is a certified Functional Diagnostic® Nutrition Practitioner, certified Whole30® Coach, and head nutrition coach at CrossFit South Bend. 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. Robby has seen first-hand how these simple (but not easy) changes to one’s life can make a huge difference to one’s overall health and life.
