Functional Nutrition Coach: Lynn DeBuhr Johnson

Contact: lynn@feedingyourhealth.com

Lynn DeBuhr Johnson - FNC - square x200Lynn DeBuhr Johnson has always had one foot out the door and a hand in the dirt. Even though she grew up in Minneapolis, she spent the majority of her time outside in the sun, as well as finding different ways to grow different veggies in small garden plots.

Her real health journey began when her oldest daughter was continually having upper respiratory infections. The pediatrician assured her this was normal, but that was not how Lynn felt. After doing research (and this was before Google), Lynn discovered holistic medicine. After only a month, her daughter no longer was sick, and the only time she gets sick is if she is eating junk food. All of Lynn’s seven children were born with a midwife, and five of them were at home.

Although always studying on her own, Lynn also received her certification as a health coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in May 2010. She is also a current student in the Nutritional Endocrinology Practitioner Training program.

Functional Nutrition Coach: Mary Wolf

Contact: wellnesscoach@wolfspirithealth.com

Mary Wolf - Accountability Team LeaderI’m Mary Wolf, and over the past eight years, I made major health and lifestyle changes in my life.

I have overcome many of my health challenges and am in the process of overcoming several more of them. I am a medical scientist with degrees in microbiology, neurobiology, immunology and chemistry. However, I have moved into the field of wellness coaching after seeing the great benefits nutrition and lifestyle changes have made in my life and the people I have worked with.

Changing my lifestyle has helped me to come off of all but two of my prescription drugs (these two are down below what most consider therapeutic dose). I feel better than I did when I was in my twenties and am truly looking forward to my living my life joyously and free from the bounds of poor health.

Functional Nutrition Coach: Maura Kennedy

Contact: mnkennedy@comcast.net

Maura Kennedy - Accountability Team Leader - squareMaura Kennedy is a certified health coach who uses her personal journey from sickness to heath to help others achieve a healthy balance in their own life. She grew up in Evanston, IL and currently resides in Glenview, IL. Always active and energetic, Maura’s life changed drastically in 2002 when she was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, lupus.

Each day after her diagnosis was a struggle as Maura constantly fought fatigue and was unable to keep up with her daily routine. She was on 6 medications and the side effects left her feeling nothing like her energetic and high energy self. She was afraid of the unknown and thought this would be a chronic issue for the rest of her life.

Having overcome lupus through a change of diet and exercise, Maura feels anyone can achieve the same results
