How a Health Coach Can Support You

Mar 27, 2024

You may be ready to get better overall health, prevent disease and age well, and also may not be sure where to begin or how to feel supported through the process. Health coaching is a collaborative process between a trained health coach like myself and a client, working side by side to facilitate positive behavior change and improve overall well-being.

Here are some ways health coaching can support you in reclaiming your health:

  1. Goal Setting: Health coaches work with you to set realistic and achievable health goals tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. They can help you prioritize and break down these goals into manageable steps.
  2. Behavior Change: Health coaches use evidence-based strategies to assist you in making sustainable lifestyle changes. They can provide guidance on nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and other areas of health.
  3. Accountability: Health coaching provides a system of accountability, where you regularly check in with your coach to discuss progress, challenges, and successes. This accountability can help you stay on track and motivated.
  4. Personalized Approach: Health coaches take a holistic view of your health, considering various aspects of your life, including physical, emotional, and social factors. They tailor their guidance to suit your unique circumstances.
  5. Empowerment: Health coaches aim to empower you to take charge of your health. They equip you with the knowledge, skills, and tools to make informed decisions and develop self-confidence in managing your well-being.
  6. Support and Encouragement: Health coaches offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment, fostering a positive mindset and resilience during your health journey.
  7. Long-term Sustainability: Health coaching focuses on creating sustainable changes, not quick fixes. It encourages lasting habits that can positively impact your health in the long run.

Fix Your Gut and Feel Your Best

Hello and Welcome! My name is Carla Alpert, and I’m a Board Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Diagnostic Practitioner, focusing on the gut and how it affects your overall health. Think of me as a health detective and wellness coach working in partnership with you to restore your health. We work together to uncover the contributing factors to your chronic symptoms, to eat well, sleep well, move more and stress less.

I love the GI MAP test because it helps my clients and I discover gut dysfunction that may be contributing to daily digestive issues as well as other chronic symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and brain fog. I created this GI MAP Coaching Package to help you stop struggling with your health and get back to living your best life.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.

I have been working with Carla for quite some time and she has helped me turn my life and health around. She is non-judgmental, and always wants the best for her clients.
