ALL ABOUT ME
Welcome! I, Nicole Burgner, am a woman of many hats. That is, I am a functional medicine health coach detective, science nerd, animal diet prep chef at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, back-yard gardener, homesteader in the making, tennis player, guru of the culinary sciences, joyful wife, and child of our Lord God and Savior.
My journey toward becoming a health coach has been nothing short of intense. My desire has always been to help people, but to do it the right way. Over the course of my life, I’ve learned that there are many modes of addressing illness and health conditions, but it was not until a few years ago that I learned what real medicine was – functional medicine.
Ever since childhood, my chronic sinus congestion, hormone imbalance, and digestive problems were “just a Nicole thing.” No doctor could ever tell me why I suffered with these problems but could only offer a pill or procedure. Similarly, after getting married, I jumped off the pill (OBC) and immediately had fatigue, amenorrhea, and chronic constipation. Jumping from doctor to doctor and on and off medications, I only got worse. Despite my downward spiral, I was confident there was an answer out there for me.
Eventually, through countless years of my own research and after going to several different practitioners, I learned about the root cause of diseases and health ailments.
Why wasn’t this type of research and science common knowledge? We actually have answers to this epidemic of chronic disease and random health issues? This isn’t just because of our own bad genetics or because we have a bad body?
No, it’s not.
Having learned about my own body and answers toward enhanced energy, cleared sinuses, vanquished anxiety and depression, balanced hormones and thyroid, and a myriad of other symptoms, I knew how to help others get my same outcome better health.
This experience paved the way toward my becoming a certified functional medicine coach detective. Today, I help people get their health back by giving them the attention, accountability, education, and direction that they need.
I invite the dismissed cases. I thwart the band-aid approach mindset. I help people, like yourself, be heard and get the results that they’ve sought for too long. Depression, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, digestive distress, clinging weight … These are all just symptoms of an underlying cause. No doctor ever thought or knew how to properly test me for these symptoms until I found the right guidance and instruction. THEN I started seeing results.
My journey better unfolds in my most recent blog, where I am more detailed and discuss a bit more of the nitty-gritty of living life with a chronic illness.
I also have two past blogs for some interesting reads. The first focuses on interning in France the second is more about food. My newest blog discusses health, nutrition, food, Christ, and life journeys. We’re always learning, so I hope I can share something new with you and perhaps learn from you too!
