80% of chronic disease is caused by lifestyle choices.

It just takes one step to start transforming your mind and body. Will you take it?

I know what I need to do, why can’t I just do it…

Sound familiar?  As a Family Nurse Practitioner with training in Lifestyle Medicine, I have seen firsthand how a healthy lifestyle can positively transform quality of life and wellbeing, from reversing chronic disease, reducing number of medications and improving quality of life. It’s time to take back your life and reverse chronic disease. Are you ready?

    Melissa Stemen Founder and Coach

    Hey! I’m glad you’re here. It takes courage to explore something new, to reach out for help, to admit sometimes your decisions have not served your body well. The great news is that it is not too late!

    I’m Melissa, your coach. I am a nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the medical field. I am a marathoner, wife, momma of teens, lover of great books and black coffee. Working in family medicine, I have witnessed so many people desire to be healthy, want to lead full, active lives, desperately wish to get off medications, to be around to see their grandkids grow up and yet making the decision to do just that is an insurmountable mountain to climb. The pharmaceutical world develops medications to treat all sorts of conditions…and even to treat the side effects of their medications, but not too often does the medical community talk about preventing, let alone reversing, chronic disease. I was tired of pushing medications and really desired for my patients to ACTUALLY be healthy. I learned about the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and started on the journey to become a certified lifestyle medicine provider. I love using lifestyle to reverse chronic disease and obtain FREEDOM. Yes, it CAN be done.

    What Lifestyle Health and Wellness coaching is not…

    Lifestyle coaching is not a replacement for your primary care provider.  While I am a licensed Family Practice Registered Nurse, I am functioning solely as a health coach through Lifestyle Health and Wellness, LLC.  As such, I will not be prescribing medications, deprescribing medications, ordering tests, etc.  We will work together to help you achieve health goals through coaching to allow you to go back to your primary care provider with the goal of being able to decrease/eliminate medications, reduce the negative impact of chronic disease, improve overall quality of life, and empower and equip you to be in control of your lifestyle decisions.
    While I strive to support your wellness journey, individual results may vary and are not guaranteed. Success depends on personal commitment, consistency, and other factors beyond my control. No specific outcomes are promised.
