In this episode of Shift with Elena Agar - I sit down with Terri Rahman - a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, as our guest. About Terri: Terri Rahman is a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, dedicated to empowering individuals to take control of their health by focusing on gut health so they can lead fulfilling lives, free from chronic disease, and maximize their vitality while aging youthfully. With a lifelong interest in health and wellness, Terri considered herself healthy but noticed declining energy levels and increasing anxious thoughts in her forties, prompting her to dig deeper into the topic. Through extensive research, Terri discovered the transformative power of food as medicine and its profound impact on physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Recognizing the lack of awareness among healthcare professionals and the general population regarding the connection between nutrition, lifestyle choices, and quality of life, Terri became determined to spread this crucial knowledge. Terri's personal journey focused on improving her own health. She successfully reversed an underactive thyroid, reduced food sensitivities, eliminated chronic anxiety, and restored her energy levels—all through nutrition and lifestyle changes without relying on medication. These transformative experiences brought joy and happiness to her life, reigniting her passion to share this knowledge and help others improve their well-being through diet and lifestyle adjustments. With over 30 years as a social worker, Terri redirected her energy toward health coaching, aligning her professional career with her passion for healthy living. She finds immense fulfillment in supporting and guiding individuals ready to prioritize their health, live optimally, and become their best versions. Terri's expertise lies in restoring gut health and reducing inflammation in the body, which she considers fundamental to overall well-being. She goes beyond dietary recommendations, showing clients that good health encompasses more than just food or body size. Instead, she guides them to adopt sustainable habits aligned with their unique goals, leading to a vibrant, purposeful life filled with passion and positive well-being. Terri firmly believes that health is the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Without good health, one cannot fully enjoy or appreciate other aspects of life. Through her coaching, she empowers individuals to prioritize their well-being, equipping them with tools and knowledge to make lasting, positive changes. By embracing the transformative power of nutrition and lifestyle, Terri inspires her clients to live life to the fullest and embrace a future of vibrant health and well-being.
