Gabrielle Grandell, BSc, FMCHC, CLT, NBC-HWC

Gabrielle Grandell is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and Nutritionist and Certified LEAP Therapist who is passionate about transformation. Combining her background in health coaching, food service, and medical nutrition therapy, Gabrielle assists clients in creating their ideal vision of the future and advocates a personalized approach to nutrition rooted in the belief that food is medicine. As important as what we eat is how, when and why we eat, and, together, Gabrielle and her clients can identify and address any underlying beliefs or patterns that may be limiting lasting change. Gabrielle’s services incorporate a whole systems approach that integrates the principles of functional medicine and nutrition, eating and positive psychology and mind-body medicine. She emphasizes practical application by offering private and group assessments, grocery store tours, meal planning, and cooking and educational workshops so that clients walk away with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to sustain a healthful lifestyle. Gabrielle’s clients range from those with specific medical conditions; to those who want to understand how they can nourish their bodies and spirits through clean food and conscious activity.

Gabrielle Grandell has an emphasis on nutritional therapies that incorporate:

* Functional and medicinal foods and nutrient supplementation

* Positive and eating psychology

* Advanced functional testing

* Evidence-based coaching and Mind-Body Medicine

* Detoxification and elimination programs for managing various health challenges

Gabrielle achieved her Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics and Institutional Administration at Texas Woman’s University in 2007 and launched a successful Medical Weight Loss program at a nationwide medical spa as a Lifestyle Educator. A desire to experience additional medical application led her to begin practicing clinical nutrition and patient care for several years at Baylor University Medical Center of Dallas. However, she quickly became disillusioned by the conventional dietetics model and its ignorance of the corrupting influence of Agribusiness, Big Food and Big Pharma on medical and nutritional education. She came to understand how these industries were contributing to the underlying poor health and the huge problem of “overconsumption malnutrition” in this country. She began practicing Functional Nutrition in 2012 and was a graduate of the inaugural class of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy in collaboration with the Institute for Functional Medicine, and was honored to serve as adjunct faculty as a Senior Course Facilitator and Practicum Supervisor fr two years. She is recognized as one of the first National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coaches through the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching and the National Board of Medical Examiners.
