Positivity, Resilience, and Health Coaching with Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

Why don't people make decisions that they know are good for them? Why is learning to be uncomfortable something you should strive towards? And why you need to get a health coach? Sandra’s got answers.

Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum trains people to become functional medicine health coaches and helps practitioners find coaches for their practices because she believes that growing the health coaching profession will be the solution to combating chronic disease and lowering healthcare costs. As founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, a collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine, Sandra is a leader in the field of health coaching education. An educator and licensed clinical psychologist for over 35 years, she was a pioneer in blending functional medicine principles with positive psychology, cognitive-behavior therapy, and mind-body medicine. Dr. Scheinbaum is the author of Functional Medicine Coaching, Stop Panic Attacks in 10 Easy Steps, and How to Give Clients the Skills to Stop Panic Attacks.
