Elyse Wagner is a Certified Nutritionist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She’s the co-founder of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy; she’s the author of the book, Self-Care & Lifestyle Planner; and she’s also the creator of a Nourished Life Academy, where she teaches people to become their own Chief Wellbeing Officers. Elyse has a dual Master’s from Bastyr University in Nutrition and Clinical Health Psychology, and she has also studied with the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Elyse has personally battled anxiety, depression, autoimmunity, weight fluctuations, and low self-worth and confidence. 

I’ve known Elyse since my wonderful experience with FMCA and I’ve asked her to come on today to discuss self-care, which is an essential, timely, and yet often overlooked topic, especially when it comes to healing from an autoimmune disorder. 

Quote: “I believe when we put our mind and bodies in environments that are healing, we really can heal ourselves.”
