03 Mar 2025
00:46:33
Host: Dr. Yousef Elyaman, Functional Medicine Physician Guest: Jodi Franklin, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach
Episode Description In this episode of the FMP Essentials Show, Dr. Yousef Elyaman sits down with Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach Jodi Franklin to explore the powerful role of health coaching in transforming patient outcomes. Jodi shares her personal journey overcoming chronic autoimmune disease and how her experience inspired a career helping others through functional medicine health coaching.
This conversation highlights the growing need for health coaches in integrative and functional medicine practices, especially when working with patients with chronic diseases like Parkinson’s Disease. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a functional medicine practitioner, or someone interested in pursuing a career as a health coach, this episode offers essential insights you won’t want to miss.
Key Questions Answered • What is the role of a functional medicine health coach in modern healthcare? • How do lifestyle factors like nutrition, sleep, and gut health contribute to Parkinson’s Disease? • How do health coaches collaborate with functional medicine physicians and other healthcare providers to improve outcomes? • What are the top environmental and nutritional triggers seen in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s? • How can someone start a career in functional medicine health coaching, and what training is required?
