Shownotes

In this Elevate 360 Summit episode, Melissa sits down with Dr. Emily Roedersheimer, a family practice physician turned functional medicine expert who used lifestyle-based medicine to reverse her own rheumatoid arthritis after battling it since childhood.

After more than a decade in traditional primary care, Dr. Emily discovered functional medicine through her own healing journey and realized there was a better way to support patients dealing with chronic conditions. Today, she helps high-performing women reclaim their energy, reduce inflammation, and create sustainable health through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and personalized coaching.

This conversation explores the powerful intersection of functional medicine, entrepreneurship, and accountability. From making the leap to a cash-based practice to scaling impact through health coaches, Dr. Emily shares why information alone isn’t enough and how real transformation happens when clients are supported, guided, and committed.

Burnout to All Out. Fam, I am so excited for you all to get a chance to hear from the cream of the crop. These are our Burnout to All Out Elevate 360 mastermind clients who've been in my master, my high level mastermind all year this year. And we do a summit once a year with our mastermind clients to debut their zone of genius.

What is incredible is that these clients all embody a 360 degree approach to business. They all contribute in one way, or fashion as subject matter experts that contribute to the pillars of Elevate 360, which is truly that we believe that bodies build businesses and that we have to have business strategy and legacy strategy as well. And so what is really cool about these clients is that

through a series of a couple of days of a summit, they were able to highlight and bring value and educate in their fields, whether it was around self leadership, leadership in business, business strategies, energetics and mindset and or legacy and how we take what we're doing and make our money work harder than we did for it to create impact and legacy over time. And so they,

really embody all that represents the 360 degree approach to business and the burnout to all out through line of our mastermind. So over the next couple of episodes, you are gonna hear from all of these experts. You're gonna get the details to their work in the notes section. And hopefully you're inspired as well as to what is possible.

for you as an entrepreneur and scaling your businesses the way these incredible human beings have. So hope you enjoy the series. So, so excited to have you here. Let's just keep the conversation going. I wanna start with just a formal introduction to Dr. Emily. So she has spent over a decade in family practice before discovering functional medicine, which she used to reverse her own rheumatoid arthritis.

Melissa (:

I can't wait to talk about this actually. A condition she had battled since childhood. Today she empowers high performing women to overcome chronic conditions, regain energy and feel like themselves again. With first hand experience of the body's incredible ability to heal when given the right support, Dr. Emily is passionate about helping others tap into their own healing potential. Today Dr. Emily is gonna...

to share how she found functional medicine and has used it to reverse her own RA she's had since 10 and how that put her on a mission to help others heal and how she focuses her practices on healthy lifestyle and the foundation of healing. So welcome to the summit, Dr. Emily. I know you're like hair was on fire with the last discussion.

I have to say it was resonating quite highly with everything that Dr. Thea said.

Yeah, well, why don't we like, why don't we just jump right in to how you discovered functional medicine? I love, mean, I like, I know we're going to get into your, how you reversed your RA and all the things, but like, how, how did you get into functional medicine from being practitioner, you know, in, in the practice for over a decade?

Yeah, well, I really think there was some divine intervention going on for me. I was in primary care and an article came across my desk written by Dr. Mark Hyman, who some of you know, he's a really high, highly sought after speaker in functional medicine. And the article was discussing how food can create inflammation. And here I am 10 years into primary care, been through med school residency, had never heard that.

Dr. Emily (:

Like I'd never heard that. So I was intrigued and I thought, well, you know, what is this? and so I dove in a little bit to his suggestions were change your diet and you'll lower inflammation. So I did that. within a couple of weeks, I was able to actually stop one of my medications I had been injecting myself with weekly. It was that powerful. So my, you know, that really was like a light bulb moment.

What is this? There's something very powerful here in functional medicine. I need to learn more. So I started listening to every podcast I could get my hands on, know, reading every book, starting to just put all these different new practices I was learning into my own life and kept seeing improvement after improvement. Ultimately went on to get certified in functional medicine through the Institute for functional medicine and

through the whole process of implementing it on myself, I now don't take any medications for rheumatoid arthritis and I feel amazing. So you can imagine that sparks someone to say, okay, I need to tell others. So that is my mission now is to let other people know that there is always something we can be doing and there is hope. I had thought I would be on those injectable medications for the rest of my life. So.

That's why I'm here and I am dedicated to making an impact for others.

powerful, you know, it's interesting. We just said this with Thea, but it's like, I feel like every single one of you that we've interviewed so far, it's a life journey that has like called you forward to like a larger impact based off the journey that you went through. And had you not been a physician who also had RA, like you wouldn't be sitting where you are today to be able to make the impact that you're making. Right.

Melissa (:

Like it's just so powerful. Well, before we get into a little bit more of like the science and the medical aspect of it, I know we've got a lot of entrepreneurs on the line. I love asking this question. I'm just really curious how you made the calculated pivot from individual practice to entrepreneur. And I know there's a number of people in the chat who have already been asking, Thea, like, how do you get, you know, how do you get your fee for services? Maybe we'll get into that.

you I don't know if you take insurance from everyone or if you're taking private, you know, private pay clients, but I'm just curious. Let's just start. I'm like ADHD or VEAR, like let's just start with the pivot from the practice. Like what did that look like for you again, as healthcare providers, very risk adverse, right? And spending all that time in school, obviously you're still practicing as a physician, but like,

the pivot itself out of like the day to day, like what did that look like for you?

Yeah, well, I'll say it was scarier than all get out. Like really very scary. had this beautiful patient base, people I had known for, you know, my whole career basically that I was very attached to. was one part of it was feeling like I was abandoning them, needed to work. I did a lot of inner work to work on that piece, but the, it really came down to just this gut instinct, this knowing that

I was supposed to be doing something different. My favorite patients I would see in primary care would be the ones that I got to talk about lifestyle change with, and then they'd actually go do something with that and come back and feel better. That like made my whole week, but that would be like one patient a week maybe, you know? And I could see that the gifts that I had and the skills that the part that kind of like what Thea said, that's the part of my job that lit me up was not what I was doing most of the time.

Dr. Emily (:

And so I really realized I needed to leave primary care. did start trying to do functional medicine within my primary care practice, but there is so much education. There's so much time involved and diving deep with somebody in functional medicine. really can't, I could not do it in that model of a 15 minute appointment. So the, now I have opened my own business, which was really steep learning curve, no business training here. And.

I do not take insurance at this point. So that was a big shift and a big pivot. And what I realized was the insurance companies are helpful to appoint. We really love them. If we have a heart attack, cancer, or something where we need a lot of work, a lot of help for reversing chronic illness, they are not very beneficial. And honestly, they tie the doctor's hands.

quite a bit time wise, you resources wise, and I didn't want, I didn't want to work for the insurance company anymore. I wanted to work for my clients. And so now we, I, the clients I see that it's cash based, which I will say also puts a little more skin in the game.

actually just gonna jump in on that if you don't. Because you know my soapbox is premium clients and premium clients doesn't necessarily mean they've got a million dollars in the bank. Premium clients it's about the radical responsibility and desire for the results right and so I'm sure you see this and I see this in every industry like you can't judge the value an individual puts on their health regardless of their income.

Yeah, go ahead.

Melissa (:

You know, I look at even my house manager who is a 20 something and the amount of her paycheck she spends on her health from like a functional perspective is insane compared to someone who has, you know, health insurance and 12 chronic illnesses and is making $300,000 a year and doesn't show up for their doctor's appointments. Right. And so it's that premium client mindset.

This is where I wanted to double down with you on with your clients is with that skin in the game is the accountability piece, right? When you're paying, like for someone to be willing to cash pay from my bias lens, they're already more motivated.

Yeah, we're not playing around, right? Yes. And so much of functional medicine is lifestyle change based, which is something that I can't do for you. You know, it's very much a different aspect of not the doctor's going to heal me, but the patient's going to heal themselves with my guidance, you know, and so that it takes a committed, dedicated client. It's not for everyone. Like I am not for everyone. It is just for those who are really ready to go.

I love this. And there's so many parallels, right? Like I think about our Elevate 360 mastermind, right? There's only so many entrepreneurs who are willing to not only focus on business strategy, but also the energetic inner work that needs to be done. There's only a select few that are gonna show up and actually do that work. And I think that what you've been able to master beautifully is your own personal kind of branding and impact and like,

the category of one that people come to for that transformation, for that experience. I think I want you to be an inspiration to everyone watching that you can have an incredibly thriving practice with cash paying clients who show up, do the work, get the results. And I don't wanna project for you, but it probably creates this really positive energetic feedback loop for you.

Melissa (:

to be working with clients who show back up and say, I made the changes, here's the results I got. There's gotta be a lot of self satisfaction in your day to day as a practitioner that like these are the only people that you're willing to work with, right?

Yeah, really, mean, my, the joy I got from that one client a week went to the joy I get with all my clients day in and day out. And it's just so gratifying and it does, fills my cup. So I can keep doing this instead of in primary care where I felt like my tools were wasted, my energy was drained at the end of the day. Now I'm kind of on fire and ready to go.

Yes. Well, and let's talk about scale because you've beautifully, you've been able to scale. I know you've got a thriving practice, but you also have coaches in the business. For those of you listening or watching the replay where you feel like you're the bottleneck because you can only see so many patients a day. So what have you done to create even more impact in your practice and be able to serve more patients without it solely going through you every single time?

is a great question and this was something I realized I am the bottleneck and I have to walk the walk of functional medicine. I have to do what I'm telling my clients to do, which is work-life balance, taking care of myself, eating right, exercising, sleeping. I can't burn the candle at both ends and tell others to not do that. I realized that in primary care, I went from seeing maybe 30 patients a day to

Now spending anywhere from an hour up to two hours with a new client, I can only see a handful of people a day. So my impact really dropped when I switched to functional medicine, even though I felt like I was doing better work.

Melissa (:

Your long-term impact for individuals was probably much higher.

Yes, true. But I realized that the vast majority of the benefits that come from functional medicine are coming from the lifestyle aspect that we help you create a beautiful change with. And I am not the only one who can speak to a client about lifestyle. Right. So what I've done is I have three coaches, board certified functional medicine health coaches that work with me and they start my clients off.

to get them on this beautiful lifestyle journey of what might need to shift in their diet, the way my diet changed my life completely. Where's their stress too much that they need to work on that? How are they sleeping? Are they getting enough movement? All of those aspects are now handled one-on-one with their own private coach. And the nice thing about the coach is it becomes this beautiful relationship of support.

accountability, cheerleading, know, really like a confidant, somebody that knows you really well and will tweak and guide the lifestyle changes based on you and your life and what you can handle. And what we do see, Melissa, is in 60, we see a 63 % reduction in symptoms in three months time with a health coach. Wow. There's no medicine out there that can do that. And the other piece to it is it's

a mostly education that now the client is really armed with all of these resources for life, right? Like I don't want to patch someone together and they leave me and they fall back apart. We want to make lasting change and transformation that then they can carry into the rest of their life.

Melissa (:

So good, so, so good. Well, and I love that you've been able to clearly create, you know, really SOPs, standard operating procedures that don't even require your face, your voice, or you in this kind of onboarding transformation process for your clients that allows you to scale. I don't know about everyone else, but.

And I'm a huge Dr. Mark Hyman fan. I I listened to him while I'm food prepping on the weekends and it helps me make good healthy choices, you know? So I've got a couple of his cookbooks, but, it has been life changing, you know, for the, for some of our, listeners here and for our participants in the summit who may be new to the idea of like, let's just talk about nutrition, right? And some of the top offenders, maybe when it comes to inflammation, like if they were,

If there were, if you could kind of categorize or give our listeners and participants some insight on maybe some cabinet and refrigerator audit of what may be wreaking havoc on, you know, inflammation with, with our listeners right now that could quickly, you know, make a difference and they made better choices.

Yeah, I think right off the top, would say sugar and processed foods are the two kind of, would say easiest, but hardest things to clear out. you know, processed foods and, you know, sugary things will really just throw us into full blown inflammation. So if we can remove some of those and replace them with some whole foods.

That makes a huge difference. It's going to really start to lower inflammation and, and food is really information for our body is are we going to be inflamed or are we going to heal, you know, so a shift there. And then the, the dietary change that I took on was eliminating certain foods that can be offensive for a period of time and then bring them back to see if they're good or not. And so the top two food groups I see be more of a food sensitivity for my clients would be gluten and dairy.

Dr. Emily (:

Yeah. Somebody's looking to take on, you know, one or two things that they want to remove aside from sugar and processed foods. I would say try three, four weeks without gluten and or dairy or one or the other and see how you feel. And it is life changing sometimes. And then, you know, if you are unsure, you bring that food back and you watch really closely those first couple of days that you bring the food back. Do I feel worse? How's my sleep? Am I?

you know, are my joints acting up? Is my energy down? That can all be from a food sensitivity.

Yeah, it's so good. You know, I often tell my kids, my kids pack their own lunches now. And I, you know, the principle of packing lunches is, you know, you need to have food that rots, right? Does it grow out of the ground, right? They can pull one to two snacks. Like there can be a granola bar. There can't be a granola bar, a beef jerky, and a string cheese for lunch, right? And so it's like this constant, you know.

education just with the kids, but I love what you said about dairy and gluten because I've never been a big dairy person. Probably I went on like a big paleo like journey over a decade ago and I'm not paleo now. But I discovered that gluten and dairy removing them made me feel a lot better. So I've never really drank a lot of dairy to begin with, but our oldest has showed a dairy sensitivity.

So we've just completely pulled it out of the house altogether, you know, so nobody has it. And I have found that that's been, you know, once it's just not an option, like my daughter was like, I'm not drinking coconut milk. This is awful. Like I'm not touching it, right? And then, you know, a month later when there's no other option, all of a sudden she'll drink the coconut milk and she'll actually run it through a blender with strawberries and put it in the freezer and make ice cream out of it, you know, so.

Melissa (:

Part of it is, what do you have to say maybe for folks like me who have children and you're trying to make the transition and you've got some stubborn folks in the house that maybe don't wanna go on this journey with you, right? Like how do you navigate that?

Yeah, that's a good question. And I really think it depends on the person, you know, whether they, in your house, it worked to kind of say, this is our only option, you know, and sometimes you'll get some people can't go that route quite as much. I will say for a child, the children are always watching adults, what we model. So if they see you day in and day out, eating the vegetables, eating the salad or, you know, whatever, not having the junk food.

that's gonna land for them and kind of set a foundation. Having the child incorporated into the food prep process of like, at this beautiful tomato, isn't it gorgeous? Like let's cut this up and make salsa or whatever. Having them as part of it is gonna make them want to eat it more. But I do think for the most part, it's a very much a modeling.

And then a question I get a lot is how do I get my spouse to do what I'm doing?

notoriously will bring a gallon of ice cream home on a Saturday. And I'm like, why are you doing this to me? I've been so good. And like, you don't do dairy in the house. And now there's like a whole bucket of it. And I'm the one that works from home. So it's, I know where it is all week long while no one else is in the house. Yes. Tell us how do we handle Jake in the bucket?

Dr. Emily (:

I would say honestly that it has to come from Jake. Like Jake has to be ready to make the change. You know, I've had clients bring their spouse to me kind of, you know, fighting and kicking and screaming and it never really works. Right? We have to be ready for change on our own, you know? And so that's really the piece I would say there. But again, the modeling and for your family to see like, wow, I feel so much better because I'm not eating that. eventually, it takes some longer than others to get.

Yeah. Well, so talk about two things here. I want to talk about self-discipline. And then there was something else I wanted to talk about. It's escape me. Hopefully it'll come back. But like, yeah, like, okay. Let's talk about the self-discipline piece, right? Like, so everyone's not on board in the family and you, you have a really tight regimen and you're really taking good care of yourself, but, and you're making the right food choices. Part of the ways I make the right food choices is

by the bad food just not being available in the refrigerator. So when someone sabotages that in your household, like, do you have any advice for the temptation, because it's right there in front of you, to like make the right food choice when there's people in the household sabotaging, bringing home chocolate chip cookies from the office or whatever.

We, have this conversation with clients a lot that I suggest that you have a conversation to say, okay, the ice cream needs to go in the garage freezer, you know, not in the main freezer, or if you're going to have cookies, they have to be tucked away where they're not in, you know, that I'm going to walk by them 10 times each day. Right. That's not fair because willpower will run out. It's like our iPhone batteries by the end of the day, the charge is low. We're going to

Yeah, and that's when I make the worst choices, right? If I haven't paced myself with nutrition throughout the day and it's like three or four o'clock and there's a Snickers bar out there.

Dr. Emily (:

get it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we want to add friction to the thing we don't want to do make it harder to find that food. Like you said, keep it out of the house is the best. And we want to make it really easy to make a good choice. having fresh fruits and veggies easily accessible in the fridge, cut up or a fruit bowl, you know, those kinds of things, and seeds around for you to grab easily can can help with that switch.

But I would say I hope it's okay to pivot into this, but I truly believe that if you're new to lifestyle change and this feels overwhelming and you don't have the support of a family, Melissa's a go-getter and Melissa's just gonna do what Melissa needs to do, but a lot of us in America, we need some support in making a lifestyle change. And that is where health coaching is like the most beautiful fit. I truly see like,

I, my son was asking me, cause I was asked to speak to the Institute for Functional Medicine about my health coaching program that I have. And I was telling my son about it. He said, well, mom, like you can just look on chat GPT and see what to do. And I was like, yes, but it's the follow through, right? Most of, most people are not going to follow through with major changes without some support. So that's, that's the piece where I feel like everyone trying to walk,

to walk this walk and needing a little help, a health coach can be your best tool. And I wish everyone in America could have a health coach experience.

love this Dr. Emily and like, I know you said I'm a go-getter, I actually, like, don't give me that much credit. I know how to delegate to hold me responsible, right? So the reason I am ridiculous about my nutrition and my fitness is because I have hired a trainer that I work with on a weekly basis. And I have like, I'm a geek, like I'm a data analytics person. Like I have the woob strap and I also have the...

Melissa (:

Is it the Hume scale? Like I scan my body and I actually can see the percentage of body fat drop and the percentage of muscle mass growth. I can see my metabolic age and how I'm reversing an age and where the contributing factors are and where I'm going with all of this is if my, if my coach didn't check in with me every week and I wasn't held accountable to these biomarkers every week, I wouldn't make the lifestyle choices. I wouldn't make them.

Right? And so like, I love what you're saying about everyone needing a coach. Like I have a spiritual mentor that holds me accountable. I have nutrition and health mentor. I have two business coaches in different spaces. Right? So like, don't give me too much credit. I actually hire people to hold me accountable.

Perfect. Yeah, I really think our, you know, I'm speaking about America, but I think it's true most places. Our society is not set up for health. If you look at the statistics, it's really quite depressing. The amount of chronic illness. think, you know, Dr. Thea was talking about all the medications that we're on, you know, so it's like swimming upstream.

to be healthy in America, you have to do the opposite of what all your friends and family are doing. And that's really challenging. And so, you we've built a community, we've built this program to help hold your hand, be a guide, and lovingly help push you in the right direction.

Yeah, so do you want to talk a little bit more about that and like how people can access your coaches?

Dr. Emily (:

Sure, yeah, so I created a program, it's called Health Begins Here, and it is a three-month long program where you are assigned your very own coach, you stay with the same person the whole time, you meet twice a month, and start to take on what seems appropriate for you. So the coach really gets to know you at the very first visit, and like what's your day-to-day life like, and it becomes apparent to myself or a coach what the low-hanging fruit is, if that makes sense.

This thing that you're doing regularly, if we tweak that just a little bit, it's gonna give you payoff and big dividends, right? So the coach will recommend changes to make and then you start to try to implement them with a lot of support and help and resources. And then you check back in and you tweak that plan. How did that go? Did that work for you? Should we change it up? Are you ready to add something new? And we just keep adding and building from there. And like I said, within...

course of three months in that program, we do see on average 63 % reduction in symptoms. So at most of the time, people are extremely pleased. Some choose to stay longer because they have some more significant changes to make. And a lot of people graduate and just feel amazing after having done that work. whether a client chooses to go on and work with me beyond that, which is an option. Again, my goal is to set it up so that

the majority, the masses can have access to this coaching program and not necessarily need me.

Well, and you know what I love about this is, well, I mean, there's a million things I love about this, but you're giving people the lifelong skillset through the journey with you or the coaches, right? So that they can kind of graduate and self-manage, or maybe they continue to need the accountability. Listen, I'm almost 46 years into my life and know exactly what I should be doing on a weekly basis.

Melissa (:

But having someone checking in being like, you know, what are your markers this week? How, you know, give me the data. It's literally just the accountability sometimes for us to like make sure it's a priority, even if you know what you need to be doing, right?

Yes, that's really, really powerful. yeah, so that's what I've tried to create here. And I am in the program. So I have lots of recorded content on different topics that hours and hours that people can use and watch. And I am overseeing the coaches. every regularly I'm meeting with the coaches, we discuss every case. So I know exactly where you are and I can give guidance and help tweak.

but I can, it's like I've multiplied myself, right? I have this army of coaches that are an extension of me and allow me to have that kind of impact that I really do wanna have. I really wanna change the face of healthcare as Dr. Thea pointed out really needs some significant changing.

Yes. And I believe with all my soul that both of you are making massive impact and it starts with your journey. And I love that you, each of you have been able to kind of operationalize and perfect your methodology and multiply, right? You've been able to literally multiply your impact through kind of taking your intellectual property and process and raise up an army.

That can help with this movement, right? So, so good. Well, Dr. Emily, before we wrap up with you, I mean, this is like the catch all for like the functional medicine practitioner, right? But I'm, curious how you're taking a 360 degree approach to business and life and how you're embodying what the mastermind is all about.

Dr. Emily (:

Yeah, it is quite in alignment with functional medicine where we look at the whole body and all the systems and everything. You know, I think that the like I said, I've had to really be very cautious about my own. Once I once I created my own health, I had to be I'm like double down on how to keep it and maintain it. Right. So I've had to be very careful along the way. I think the piece that I really got out of this mastermind was that I realized I'm very good at doing.

and being productive and like, take on the next thing and the next thing. I, there are times where we just actually need to slow down and, and be in the being. Right. And so the opportunities that you've offered us for that, whether it's just like, you know, I've, I've really picked up a daily meditation practice that I'm not going to miss out on, but in those, some of the live events that we've worked with together, the breath work sessions that you've done for us, like slowing down is when I get my big inspirations.

Really, it's what's making me see the goal and the vision of where I'm going. that I would have missed that. I would have just gone down, you know, shiny object syndrome, right? Just keep chasing each new thing I wanted to try. spending time in being and quiet stillness, doing the spiritual work has really allowed me to know this is where I'm going and this is where I need to be focused. So that's.

that I appreciate that aspect of your work, Melissa, because I've been in other business containers before, because again, I'm not a business, I have no business training, so I need people like you. And it's oftentimes all about doing, right? Work on your funnel, make more emails, send more emails, get on socials, you know, do the videos, whatever. And there's a point where that's just gonna drain you and wear you out. And so you have this beautiful balance of

helping us to slow down enough, be intentional enough that when we are doing, we don't drain ourselves. So I really do appreciate that.

Yes, that's so true. I love that. I think that's a reminder for everyone as we are sliding into the fall. And I know a lot of us have big business goals. also, lot of kids are going back to school, activities are picking back up. And so it's that reminder that even in the midst of busy, we need to take those moments to slow down. so good.

Well, thank you so much for sharing today. Do you have any resources that you want to share in the chat before we move on?

Yes, so I've created a guide called how to reclaim your energy in 10 minutes or less a day. And it's little tiny tidbits. This is a lot of what my practice does. We try to implement very small changes, little tiny things that if done over time will really make a big impact. So if your energy is little running a little low, we're, you know, burning the candle on both ends. This guide can really give you a jumpstart to how can you start to implement some of these lifestyle changes into your own life?
