For anyone who might be new here, I wanted to reintroduce myself and Balanced Living!
We're a group of women who focus on supporting YOU – the person who might be used to taking care of everyone else and putting their health on the back burner.
I'm Dr. Emily, and I get it – because I've been there. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 10 and spent most of my life managing symptoms with medication. Even after becoming a family practice physician, I still didn't feel like myself. It wasn't until I discovered functional medicine that everything changed. I reversed my RA, got off my medications, and finally understood what my body had been trying to tell me all along. It needed help and guidance. It needed me to live my life in a different way. I needed to change how I was living - specifically what I was eating and I needed to SLOW DOWN!
Here's what we do differently:
We don't start with expensive testing or bags full of supplements. That won't do much for you if you're staying up half the night working or eating all the wrong foods for your body. I realized that what I needed was a new way of doing things. A shift in my day to day habits. And once I started down that path, everything changed!
We start with the foundation – your lifestyle. Because here's the truth: most of our clients see an average 63% reduction in symptoms just by addressing sleep, stress, nutrition, movement and mindset.
And how do we do this? We connect you with your very own health coach. Just like you might have a trainer at the gym to show you what to do and keep you accountable, our coaches know the way to help make those day to day shifts that allow your body to heal, once and for all! Your coach gets to know you and your challenges and is your biggest supporter and cheerleader in your journey to making changes. She will guide you on where to start and be there with you the whole way.
This is for you if:
You're tired of feeling tired, inflamed, or just "off"
You've been to multiple doctors who say your labs are "normal" but you know something's wrong
You've tried all the things and still don't feel like yourself
You're ready for answers that actually make sense for YOUR body
What you'll find here:
Real talk about chronic symptoms, someone to listen and understand your goals, practical tools you can use today, education on how your body works and what it needs, and a community that actually gets what you're going through. No medical jargon. No shame. Just honest, heart-centered support from women who've walked this path ourselves. Think of Balanced Living as Your Home for Healing!
There's always hope. There's always something that can be done. And you're exactly where you're supposed to be.
Welcome. We're so glad you're here. 💚
