Meet Your Coach

Hello, I’m Heather Hanson.

I’m a Board Certified Nutritional Therapist and Functional Medicine Health Coach in Georgetown, Texas.

I provide comprehensive health & wellness coaching to empower people like you with the knowledge you need to feel your best.

Most importantly, I want you to know I understand your struggle.

I know how frustrating it is, going from doctor to doctor, just trying to figure out why you feel so bad and how to resolve it.

Like you, I’ve struggled with a long list of unexplained symptoms: headaches, indigestion, constipation, gas, bloating, hormone imbalance, heavy periods, brain fog, anxiousness, racing heart, joint pain, weight gain…

In my mid-20s, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, and had a hysterectomy to “fix” my symptoms. But even after surgery, I struggled with abdominal pain, constipation, and bloating.

I had endless appointments with endless testing: colonoscopies, endoscopies, barium enemas, x-rays, ultrasounds…you get the picture.

In the end, it was my stubborn, redheaded nature that helped me realize I needed to be the one to find answers.

One of those answers was found in food.

For years, I was stuck in a vicious cycle of restrictive eating and binge eating. Out of desperation, I started a food elimination diet and started feeling better right away without wheat, dairy, and corn. But I “cheated” often … and every time, without fail, dairy would make my tongue, throat, and abdomen swell. Wheat would make me feel irritable and anxious with migraines, joint pain, and constipation.

After a tortuous two-week period in which I didn’t have a single bowel movement, I decided enough was enough. Cheating wasn’t worth it. I deserved better, and I needed to recommit to myself and my health.

After all, if I was not kind and loving to myself, who would be?
Giving myself permission to get well was a game-changer for my career. I had already spent years working in an internal medicine practice, so I began expanding my training and knowledge on holistic health. I implemented a 12-week Cardiometabolic Therapeutic Lifestyle program at the practice with amazing results for some patients, but others still struggled. I continued to dive deep, taking more courses and learning about digestion, genetics, hormonal imbalance, nutrient absorption, and more.
