About Diane Herth

I began my holistic journey into FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE* by default, as a parent seeking personal knowledge and the best health care practices for my children.  I was a frustrated patient looking for the ROOT CAUSE of my constant exhaustion, overall aches & pain, brain fog and digestive issues, rather than prescriptions to treat the symptoms.
​*Functional Medicine looks at the whole body as an interconnected web rather than separate systems.
My personal research led me to an Internist turned Functional Medicine physician and a Nurse Practitioner who discovered I had gut health issues as well as Lyme Disease. Their wealth of knowledge, and our time commitment together, ultimately turned my health around.  This profound change led me to want to share FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE with others. Today I am pain-free, joy-filled, grateful, and healthier than I have been in 20 years. I have more energy than ever, by becoming attuned to my body and nurturing my WHOLE HEALTH.
In 2017, I began my two year certification at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition with focused studies on the microbiome (gut health), and then continued at the Summers School of Yin Yoga and Meditation becoming certified in Yin Yoga, Meditation and Chinese Meridians. ​ I am a certified Integrated Nutrition Health Coach with a focus on Gut Health (the Microbiome) and Inflammation, as well as teach the healing and nurturing practice of Yin Yoga and Meditation. My personal experience as a patient and my extensive Functional Medicine training gives me a UNIQUE and EMPATHETIC perspective coaching clients. ​ Trained with the world's top health and wellness experts I coach clients through their goal setting, learning lifestyle management and sift through the many confusing dietary theories - Mediterranean, vegan, Paleo, Pegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low FODMAP, and everything in between.  Together we assess what is best for their unique body. During a four month program they will reduce if not eliminate chronic inflammation, improve immunity, and lower elevated blood levels as well as weight, if that is desired.

I love coaching clients to become attuned to their bodies and create a lifestyle that fuels longevity with wellness, energy, joy and confidence. I guide my clients to discover their body's needs with practical lifestyle management techniques, and show them how they can eat WHOLE (unprocessed) FOOD whether cooking at home or navigating restaurant menus.
​​
I have always been an advocate for people struggling. I LOVE helping people and feel the purpose of my TWO decade journey was to be able to help others rediscover their health, happiness, and peace.
​I look forward to COACHING WHOLE HEALTH in you.
