Using Data to Guess Less & Help More with Risa Groux

Our guest in this episode is Risa Groux. Risa is a functional nutritionist and certified autoimmune coach who has been in the health coaching industry forever! Risa serves her clients with the firm belief that optimal health comes from looking at root causes -- typically systemic inflammation and gut health. She utilizes functional nutrition guidelines and comprehensive testing such as blood and stool to determine the road map of root issues. So, this episode is for lab value lovers and those who love to geek out on data. Risa has seen it all and has a lot of coaching wisdom to share. So listen in to learn from a seasoned pro.  In our conversation with Risa, we get into topics like rejecting a diagnosis to get to a deeper reason, how Risa orders and uses blood tests for her clients, and she shares her journey of how she got to where she is today. We also dig into why you should know what your body is doing at all times, why Risa wrote her book, which toxins we should be looking out for, and how she structures her client meetings.  *Please be sure to understand the regulations in your area with respect to their health coaching scope of practice. In many regions, health coaches are not allowed to work directly with lab tests.
