So this is episode 112 of the Breaking Boundaries podcast, and we're going to be covering 10 reasons to add a certified integrative health practitioner and high-performance health coach to your wellness team for the upcoming year. So let me just break that down.

Speaker 1: 4:13

What is an integrative health practitioner? Well, there are two levels to being an IHP and level one goes through what is known as the de-stress protocol. That was created by my mentor, dr Stephen Cabral, and that is the acronym for diet, exercise, stress reduction, toxin removal, rest, emotional balance, science-backed supplementation and success mindset. So that makes up the eight points of the de-stress protocol, which is basically lifestyle adjustments to be able to help somebody adapt and make subtle changes in their lifestyle to be able to achieve better health. Now an integrative health practitioner level two has already gone through level one. You need that de-stress protocol before you advance to the level two curriculum over at the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute. Level two covers the at-home functional lab tests. So as a level two IHP, we are educated on how to order and interpret the lab results for several at-home functional lab tests. These go subclinical compared to what you might get at your primary care physician. Now you can typically get these lab tests done with your local naturopathic doctor, but the beauty of being an IHP is we can do this lab work virtually and we're going to talk about that coming up.

Speaker 1: 5:40

And then of of course, a high performance health coach, um has a certification that is based in not only longevity but dna, age testing, epigenetics, um genotypes, uh methylation factors and and so much more. But basically this is, you know, high performance health is basically how to stay healthy for the rest of your life. So you know, an integrative health practitioner can help you get healthy and then the high performance health coach, as well as the IHP, can help you with longevity. But the high performance health coach really goes deep into longevity and you can learn about all those programs. Or, if you wanted to become a health coach yourself, you can check that out over at IHPcoach to learn more.

Speaker 1: 6:28

So, without further delay, let's get into these 10 reasons to add an IHP or an HPH to your wellness team. We're building a team for you to help you to get healthy and stay healthy. So, number one no more long waits for help. Have you ever been told it'll take 6 to 12 months just to get your first appointment with a specialist or a primary care physician? So with an IHP2 coach, you can skip the wait and start your journey immediately. Maybe once in a while there's a one-week wait, but they can usually get you in immediately. Imagine getting actionable answers within weeks instead of wasting precious time. Now, that being said, you still should have a primary care physician so that you can run your annual blood work and get your annual physical and qualify for, you know, the insurance driven part of the program, and that's why we're integrative health and not alternative medicine, as at IHP. I often work hand in hand with primary care physicians to create not really create the wellness plan that I provide, but make sure that all things are in check. So I highly recommend that you do have a PCP. So number two flexibility that fits your life. Your health coach meets you where you are, literally. With virtual coaching, there's no need to drive across town or take hours off of work, whether you're at home, on a lunch break or traveling. Your wellness plan actually moves with you, which is absolutely convenient and amazing.

Speaker 1: 8:00

Number three personalized solutions, not generic advice. Unlike cookie cutter plans, your health coach creates a customized strategy based on your unique needs and goals, using tools like functional lab testing that's done right at home to be able to uncover your body's exact requirements. Now, when I say at home, that doesn't mean that you have to have a health tech or a phlebotomist come in to do these lab tests. You do these. They have instructions. They have video instructions to be able to walk you through exactly how to do these lab tests at home. They're super simple, sometimes requiring just a hair sample maybe a tablespoon of hair or not even about a teaspoon of hair. Sometimes a saliva sample, a urine sample, a blood spot sample and, in some cases for serious chronic issues, maybe a stool sample. So we'll get into that on another episode.

Speaker 1: 8:56

Number four HSA and FSA eligibility. That's right. Your health is an investment and it just got easier to afford. Many coaching programs are HSA and FSA eligible, so you can use your pre-tax dollars to prioritize your wellness. Number five a holistic network of support. Ihp coaches aren't just lone wolves. They're part of a vast network of wellness experts. If you need a physical therapist, an acupuncturist or a chiropractor, they can connect you to trusted professionals to complement your plan.

Speaker 1: 9:34

Number six multi-level support for any health goal. Whether you're someone who thrives with minimal guidance or you need regular accountability, coaches offer flexible packages to match your support level. It's like having a tailor-made roadmap to success. I often refer to it as a concierge service. Number seven rebalancing your whole body inside and out, from nutrition to mental clarity. An I ihp coach or a high performance health coach takes a 360 degree approach rebalancing your body so it works as a cohesive system.

Speaker 1: 10:16

Next number eight breakthrough mental and emotional blocks. Now, as I mentioned, the de-stress protocol covers emotional balance. So you know, every integrative health practitioner has some education on how to coach you. This is more like life coaching, on how to coach through emotional balance, and sometimes it's your mindset that's holding you back back and what sets some practitioners apart, like myself and several other integrative health practitioners that I know. With tools like clinical hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming, your coach can help you overcome limiting beliefs and create real breakthroughs. It's absolutely amazing the breakthroughs that NLP and clinical hypnosis can create for a client.

Speaker 1: 11:06

Number nine energy and longevity protocols you can trust. Forget about the quick fixes, the trendy hacks, all of the information, the cherry-picked information that's out there on social media. Some of it is doing you a service and some of it is doing a disservice. Your health coach blends ancient wisdom and modern science to be able to recharge your energy and enhance your longevity, and this is backed by science. It's backed by clinical research. These are clinically proven natural health protocols that come with a money back guarantee. And then, finally, number 10, achieve sustainable health and not temporary fixes. Fads can come and go, but an IHP health coach or a high-performance health coach can focus on sustainable habits that keep you thriving for the long haul. And then, of course, we have the functional lab testing to show the data that we are making progress in the right direction. Or, you know, as a high-performance health coach, we have the biological age test, which looks at your biological age compared to your chronological age, to get a baseline and then make sure we're trending in the right direction and actually slowing down, stopping and reversing your biological age. Yes, that is completely possible.

Speaker 1: 12:25

So let me share a story. A recent client came to me after months of trying to piece together a health plan on their own. This client was definitely a do-it-yourselfer, but they were frustrated with the conflicting advice and absolutely no progress. They actually started backsliding, going in the opposite direction. And then that's when they reached out to me. Within 30 days, just one month of health coaching and implementing some functional lab tests and some functional protocols, they had a clear plan that was bio-individualized for them. They were sleeping better. They finally felt empowered about their health. This is not just me telling them what to do. This is teaching them why their body is acting the way it is and responding to their environment. Making these lifestyle changes based on the data that we have and then actually feeling and seeing that shift and that progress and getting the results that they want within 30 days. That's the kind of transformation we're talking about.
