( 01 ) Sound familiar?

You've done the tests. You've seen the doctors. You're still tired.

Conventional care is wonderful at ruling out emergencies, and often silent on the slow, wearing symptoms that steal your days. Integrative health coaching fills that gap: we map your whole story, from digestion and hormones to sleep, stress, and the life events written into your body, and then we act on it, step by step.

A QUICK CHECK

Do you recognize yourself here?

  • Exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix
  • Brain fog and poor focus
  • Bloating and food reactions
  • Weight that won't move
  • Hormone swings and PMS
  • Perimenopause symptoms
  • Thinning hair, brittle nails
  • Anxiety or low mood
  • Wired at night, flat by day
  • Skin flares and sensitivities
  • Post-viral fatigue
  • Low libido and drive

If you nodded at three or more, a root-cause approach is worth 30 minutes of your time.

( 02 ) The signature framework

The Pathways Method

Healing has an order. We calm the stress response first, restore the gut, rebalance hormones, refine nourishment, and reconnect with the deeper story your body has been carrying. Five pathways, one personal plan.

( 01 ) GROUND Calm the nervous system: adrenals, sleep, blood sugar, and daily stress tools that actually fit your life.
( 02 ) RESTORE Heal digestion: dysbiosis, leaky gut, SIBO, and food sensitivities, guided by functional testing where useful.
( 03 ) BALANCE Support thyroid and sex hormones through every season, from cycles to perimenopause and beyond.
( 04 ) NOURISH Food as medicine: personalized plans, gentle detox support, and a kinder relationship with eating.
( 05 ) RECONNECT Mind-body healing: self-compassion, breath, meditation, and releasing the stress patterns of old wounds.
( 03 ) Data Driven Insights

Test, don't guess.

Measure first to find the real issue. Keep measuring to prove it's improving.

One of the guiding principles of my approach is data driven insights. We quantify and measure at every stage, first to identify what is actually going on beneath your symptoms, and then to measure your improvements so you can see, in numbers, that your plan is working. Functional testing turns a vague "something's off" into a clear map of what your body is doing, so your pathway is built on evidence, not hunches. I help you choose the right test, understand what it means for your plan, and take action, working with a licensed clinician for ordering and medical interpretation.

HOW IT WORKS

Testing, done right: As your coach, I help you select the right test and understand your results as education, always in service of your pathway. Test ordering is completed through a licensed clinician in my network, and any medical diagnosis stays with your physician. You order through a secure storefront, own your data, and we build your plan around what it shows. And because we test rather than guess, we retest at meaningful milestones, so your progress is measured, not assumed.

( 04 ) Your honest navigator

A trusted network, not a dead end

Root-cause healing is a team sport. When something is outside my scope as a coach, I won't leave you guessing. I'll point you to a vetted practitioner I genuinely trust, and coordinate so your care stays connected. Think of me as your navigator through the confusing world of integrative care.

( 01 ) Functional MDs & ARNPs Diagnosis, prescriptions, and the complex cases that need a licensed clinician's eye.
( 02 ) Naturopathic Doctors Whole-body medicine and natural therapeutics, working alongside your coaching plan.
( 03 ) Registered Dietitians Medical nutrition therapy when a condition calls for clinical-grade dietary care.
( 04 ) Therapists & Trauma Specialists Deeper mind-body work when the RECONNECT pathway uncovers older stories.
( 05 ) Acupuncture & TCM Nervous system, pain, and hormone support from the Eastern tradition.
( 06 ) Chiropractic & PT Structure and movement, so the body you're healing moves well too.
( 07 ) Mold & Environmental Experts Testing and remediation guidance when your environment is part of the picture.
( 08 ) Compounding Pharmacies Personalized formulations when off-the-shelf options don't fit.
( 09 ) Longevity Medicine & Physicians Prevention-focused physicians for healthspan, advanced screening, and aging well.

Every referral is chosen for fit, never for commission. Where any partnership involves compensation, it is disclosed to you.

Healing you can feel. Progress you can measure.

( 05 ) Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Sharon Rendel.

I became an integrative medicine health coach because I watched the people I love struggle with symptoms no one could fully explain, and I learned firsthand that real answers come from looking at the whole person. That belief is why every pathway here starts with your full story and real data, never a protocol off the shelf.

My promise is simple: I will listen to your whole story, I will never hand you a one-size-fits-all plan, and I will walk beside you until you can feel the difference in your own body.

( 08 ) Good questions

FAQ

Is health coaching a replacement for my doctor?

No, and it shouldn't be. I work alongside your medical care, not instead of it. I don't diagnose, treat, or prescribe. What I do is help you understand your whole health picture, build sustainable habits, and use food, lifestyle, and mind-body tools to support your body's own healing.

Can you order lab tests for me?

I help you choose the right functional test and understand what it means for your plan. The order itself is placed and signed by a licensed clinician in my network, and you purchase directly through a secure storefront. Any medical diagnosis based on results stays with your physician.

What is integrative medicine health coaching?

It blends the best of functional and integrative medicine education with the skill of coaching: looking for root causes across digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, nutrition, and life history, then supporting you week by week as you make changes that stick.

Do I need lab testing to work with you?

Not always. Your story and symptoms carry enormous information. Where testing would genuinely change the plan, I'll walk you through the options. Many clients love the data; others prefer to start with symptoms alone. Both work.

What if I need care beyond coaching?

That's exactly what my trusted network is for. If something is outside my scope, I'll connect you with a vetted practitioner I trust and help coordinate, so you're never left guessing about your next step.

What does it cost?

The discovery call is free. Program investment is discussed on that call once we know what you actually need, and payment plans are available. You will never be pressured.
