Shownotes
This week I'm joined on the podcast by Dr Sandi Scheinbaum, Co-Founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA). We talked about what it takes to thrive as a health coach and have a successful holistic business.
It was five years ago, at the age of 65 that Dr Sandi started the FMCA and has trained 1000’s of coaches. She took the unusual step of training functional medicine health coaches online, despite being advised against it. In addition to being a successful business model, it was a fortuitous decision given the way we've had to adapt during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to starting the academy, Dr Sandi had had several careers. She started out as a school teacher, working with children with special educational needs. For most of her career, Dr Sandi was a clinical psychologist specialising in mind-body medicine before it was recognised in the mainstream. She went on to train in functional medicine and was inspired to take all the health philosophies that she had studied, and integrate them into the emerging field of health coaching.
Dr Sandi’s mission is to train people to become functional medicine health coaches. She believes they are the key to helping people overcome chronic disease by supporting them to achieve a better quality of life.
