Janet Frank
I left a career as a psychologist for sales. It was true that I left to pursue a lifelong curiosity about business and marketing. What I didn't emphasize is that I was symptomatic from Hashimoto's (an autoimmune thyroid disorder) and an undiagnosed gluten intolerance, and it was difficult to sustain the work. I took a 14-year detour, working with amazing mentors in sales and sales coaching. I also used that time to learn to manage my health and thrive.
When I learned that health coaching had emerged as a profession, I made the decision that day to pursue certification. 60% of people in the US have a chronic disease, and we are getting heavier and sicker by the day. Physicians do not have time to spend with patients on lifestyle and habit change - those take time. Health coaching can as broad as what wellness means to you. Functional medicine (I am functionally trained) looks at the root causes of disease and at the entire person, and that includes diet and lifestyle. I have evolved into niches of emotional eating and work-life balance, but am happy to work with you around any aspect of your wellness.
I have part-time employment which I really enjoy, and I maintain a small private practice. I invite you to contact me for a complimentary 30-minute consultation at janet@janetfrankcoaching.com to see if health coaching is right for you (I offer group and 1:1 coaching). You're welcome to review my website at www.janetfrankcoaching.com and subscribe for updated articles. If you're a leader of a team or part of an organization, I'd be happy to talk with you about presentations which can be done in person if you're local, or virtually, with geography as no obstacle.
Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS
Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy. Through conversations with world-leading clinicians, researchers and patient advocates, 'Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS' has reached audiences in over 100 countries, helping people make informed lifestyle decisions and promoting prevention, resilience and wellbeing. Entirely self-funded, the initiative demonstrates how one person's lived experience can create lasting public benefit on a global scale while being proudly based in Glasgow
