Page Contents: “At certain times of my life, my inner critic has been deafening, beginning in high school when my dad asked why I received an A and not an A+. I knew he was kidding, but my perfectionist self wanted to show him an A+ next time. My inner voice has often taken over, convincing me I’m not good enough, I should do more and do it better. Why do I fall for that? Along with learning to strive for excellence over perfection, I have learned to stay present, ask myself if those inner words are even true, and remind myself of my successes and accomplishments to hush the inner critic. If that voice still wants to sit on my shoulder some days, I’ll...

Page Contents: While antidepressants can be life-saving for some people—and, if you’re currently taking antidepressants, you should not stop doing so without the guidance and support of your doctor—they’re not a good fit for everyone. For some people, they don’t alleviate depressive symptoms, and for others, they cause a new set of disruptive side effects. Other people don’t want to take antidepressants long-term or they can’t afford the financial investment to do so. Whatever your reason, there is a way to address the root cause of your depression directly, without long-term antidepressant usage: Functional Medicine. The Functional Medicine approach to depression—and in fact, the Functional Medicine approach to any chronic condition—is to identify and address the root cause of the problem. That means treatment is focused...

Page Contents: In spring 2018, I thought about starting a health coaching practice without additional training. At the time, I was contemplating a career change. I had undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology, and I had worked as a stress researcher and had coached leaders. I thought that all of these things would be a solid foundation for coaching and make me a good coach. Could I have become a health coach based on that experience and education? Sure. In fact, anyone can call themselves a health coach. Would that have provided me with the building blocks to become a great health coach? I doubt it. As I thought about whether or not to sign up for a coaching program, I had the nagging feeling that there were...
