Shannon Ruth, Integrative Health Coach

Description

Are you tired of feeling exhausted and reliant on coffee to kickstart your day? Fed up with the discomfort of tight waistbands and the ongoing battle against headaches or abdominal pain? It's time to break free from the cycle of temporary fixes and discover real solutions for your health challenges.

You are not alone! Six out of ten Americans live with one or more chronic diseases caused or influenced by our food. This talk will explore the transformative power of simple dietary changes in reversing chronic health problems. By adopting a holistic approach, I delve into how our thoughts play a crucial role in shaping the health of our gut microbiome and how addressing limiting beliefs is key to unlocking your full potential for wellness. Understanding this connection empowers us to make mindful choices that positively impact our well-being.

In this talk, you will learn simple steps to improve your health. Embark on this journey with me, and take action today towards a healthier and happier life.

Appetizers and non-alcoholic drinks will be served. Tickets $20 per person.

About Shannon

My career as a Physician Assistant, balancing a demanding job with raising two young children, took a toll on my health. I found myself in a cycle of stress, exhaustion, and unhealthy eating, which led to significant weight gain and IBS symptoms. Despite being an athlete, my attempts at managing my weight through running were unsuccessful, and my overall well-being deteriorated.

A career shift, which required me to be on call at all hours, further impacted my health, leading to memory issues, concentration difficulties, and depression. This was a wake-up call for me. I realized the need for a drastic change in my lifestyle.

By revamping our family's eating habits, eliminating junk food, and addressing my IBS, we not only improved my health but also resolved other family health issues like asthma and heartburn. My newfound love for mountain biking, along with becoming a certified high school mountain bike coach and a racer, marked a significant turn in my life.

This personal transformation was the catalyst for me to become a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I am now committed to sharing my experience and strategies with other women, helping them to successfully manage their IBS and achieve their weight loss goals.
