Janet Ottersberg's career in the health and wellness industry has spanned over 30 years. Her passion for an integrative approach to healing and wellness started early on in her life as she witnessed multiple family members affected by chronic disease including cancer and diabetes. As an Occupational Therapist, Janet has had the pleasure to work with patients from neonates to geriatrics in a variety of settings. As she continued to work as an OT she was always learning new tools and approaches to integrate into her therapeutic tool box. She added massage therapy, Yoga instruction, lymphedema treatment, Daring Way facilitation, Life and Wellness coaching and Group facilitation into the mix. Her training in the Daring Way based on the work of Brene’ Brown has been fundamental in the emotional healing work that goes along with physical healing. She assists people that have been affected by cancer in healing the emotional scars of cancer as a facilitator with A Fresh Chapter. Janet has been working with Dr. Nasha Winters using the Metabolic Approach to Cancer both as a group facilitator and as a coach. She is very excited about her role in changing the face of cancer treatment as the Director of Education for the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health.

Janet is passionate about life balance and when she is not doing the work she loves, she can be found on a dance floor, traveling to another country or walking the trails of Altadena with her dogs, Heinz and Winston.

During our discussion, Janet shares why she decided at a young age to take care of herself, how her struggle with weight paved the way to her life’s work, what she feels is a must when looking to eat healthier, the common symptoms of metabolic dysfunction, the number one thing you can do to improve your health, and how the ketogenic diet is not a one-size-fits-all approach to eating.
