For Medical Practices

What benefits do Functional Medicine Health Coaches bring to your practice?

Functional Medicine Certified Health Coaches provide motivational strategies, behavior change theory, and communication techniques to help clients create sustainable changes that lead to better health. They help bridge the gap between what clients know they need to do to be healthy and the intrinsic motivation needed to make and sustain those changes. They offer the expertise and qualifications to partner with doctors and help translate the plan of care into a plan of action.

“Adding a health coach has made a tremendous difference. People get well faster. I would never go back to not having a coach. It just does not make sense to me. When I look back on our first year, I feel kind of sorry for our clients because they missed out.”


Roy Hall, MD created Mountain Health Functional Medicine and sees patients for diabetes, arthritis, autoimmune and thyroid issues, hormones, and other conditions. His FMCA-trained health coach works remotely and they’ve created an incredibly effective strategy for collaborating and communicating via his EMR.

Max Tomlinson, ND

“I have a deep confidence that the coach and l speak the same language and that’s really important for the Recode program. Having a health coach there who is, number one, trained, number two, understands the terminology and will give people advice that sticks to a framework that we've all agreed on, is of utmost importance.”


Max Tomlinson, ND is UK-based but works internationally with patients who suffer cognitive decline. He uses Dr. Bredesen’s ReCode program and collaborates remotely with an international Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach.
