ELEVATE THE HEALTH OF YOUR FAMILY

Families can go through a LOT when trying to raise healthy, happy kids. Sometimes it can be a lonely road.

 

You ask yourself:

Should I breastfeed? Should I co-sleep? Should I vaccinate?

What is the best diet for my family? The best exercise plan?

What do I do when my kids have a fever, acne, stomach trouble, mood problems, trouble learning, behavioural issues?

What do I do when my kids are really ill or have autoimmunity or ADHD or autism or other chronic illness?

How do I prevent these issues? How do I fix them?

How do I take care of myself while I take care of so many others?

Who is there for my family? Who can I ask? What is the correct, researched information? Who is monitoring my progress and helping me find solutions? Where do I find consistent support and professional guidance without going broke or crazy trying?

I hear your concerns and the concerns of 1000’s of caregivers just like you and have been absolutely driven to create solutions to the struggles you are having. I have been there, and I don’t want anyone to have to start from scratch or to go it alone.

A Note from Carla

On the start date of the program you will receive full access to all of the educational materials as well as a year’s worth of guidance through the materials and support through your everyday health questions and personal challenges from that day on. The program is designed to help you make discoveries relating to your family’s health and to initiate changes to your lifestyle and ways of viewing and handling health that can be integrated into your life using lifestyle medicine.

 

The HFF Family Health Coaching Programs will empower you to make the best decisions regarding your family’s health and give you the best chance at maintaining and recovering health. I will say that I know, without a doubt, that kids can and should be healthy, that even chronic illness can be reversed, and that recovery is possible when you intervene as early as possible,  recognize symptoms, discover root causes, and figure out what to do to address them. I know that good health cannot be found in a pill bottle but in your backyard, your pantry, and in the warmth of your family and friends. I will say that once you identify and take out the things that harm your health and fill your body with what will elevate your health, what we tend to call “miracles” do happen. Every day.

CARLA'S FAMILY'S STORY

My beautiful, fierce daughter has Type 1 Diabetes. But we will not be defined by that. Since diagnosis day 5 and a half years ago, I set out to find out why this happened – not so that I could beat myself up and live in “what-ifs,” but to discover what we could do about it. What I found was much more than I expected. The problem didn’t lie simply within my own family, and the solution wasn’t only for us. What I found were millions of families like ours with similar struggles. What I found was the need for a revolution. I have to tell people that recovery and healing is possible and that good health is our birthright. I have to tell you that prevention is critical, and the answers lie in how we live and the choices that we make every day. We have the power.

 

 

This experience has deepened our determination, our personal growth, and our ascent into an entire world of health information and community we may never have stumbled upon had we not had to face this massive challenge. It introduced us to a whole world of amazing, brilliant minds already doing the work of caring for families like mine.

 

It tore us apart, then put us back together.

 

Unfortunately, our experience is not unique.

 

In fact, with the way we live these days, with the barrage of stressors our families face that did not exist before, and the, dare I say, epidemic number of childhood illnesses that are being diagnosed every second of the day, our experience is becoming more and more common. These types of struggles and having a child with some kind of diagnosis or another is becoming our new normal.

 

Everyone is overweight. Everyone is tired. Everyone is sick in some way. That’s just normal, right?

 

But what I know about health, what our family’s experience and my training and research and work has taught me is to question our new normal. To not lay down and accept the substandard state of our care and health status, and take control of our health. I know we can make health easier, again.

 

I know we can do better. I want to do better. Surely, we can do better than this.

 

I know that you have had similar experiences to ours. I know that you have heard the statistics about how our children’s health is on the decline and that you don’t want your own loved ones to go down like that. I know that you want answers and need some guidance and support by someone who believes in you, listens to you, and treats you with respect. I know you want to do whatever you can to ensure that your loved ones are healthy, and I don’t mean just getting by.

 

For 18 years, I have been teaching and leading workshops; for 5 years, I have been specifically researching and studying family health; and for those same 5 years, I have been parenting a child with a serious health condition while advocating for her and navigating the often times cold world of the medical system. For an entire year working more hours than I would like to admit, I have been actively developing the content for several powerhouse family health coaching programs for you because:

 

1. I see the failure of our current supports to provide the resources we parents need and are asking for; and

2. I understand the sheer frustration mamas and papas have experienced in their attempts to make their families well.

 

I have seen and experienced, first hand, what is glaringly missing by way of the information that is available and in the support of the people who are looking for solutions to their family’s health problems and have put everything I have learned into one hell of a suite of programs unlike anything you have ever heard of, let alone experienced. Guaranteed.

 

In a nutshell, I give a crap, about you, about your children, about what is happeing to our health, that we are settling for a new normal of ill health when we can have so much more vitality, inspiration, and joy.

 

My mission is to eliminate every single barrier families have in obtaining better health.

 

It is true what they say about the power of a mother: she could lift a car if it threatened to harm her child. That is the power I have put into The Healthy Family Formula programs, and I want every parent to feel that power, too.

 

But I am not here to make promises; I am here to show you the possibilities.

Health Should Be Easy

Whether you came here to recover your children, learn healthier habits, feel better, play more, hurt less, prevent illness, or all of the above, my intent is to have you walk out of these virtual doors empowered and inspired…
