About Chris

A man with short curly hair, wearing a light blue button-up shirt and dark blue jeans, stands outdoors against a gray brick wall. He is smiling broadly, looking up, with his hands on his hips.

Hi, I'm Chris Buchanan.

I’m a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach who uses support, guidance, and accountability to help clients approach their current and future health aspirations from an angle they have never experienced on their own before!

As a previous engineer, I have an attention to detail and mind that works very effectively at pattern recognition and personalized critical thinking - which may be a breath of fresh air compared to what people experience from conventional practitioners treating them like "copy/paste patients". My ultimate goal for you (if you become a client) is to feel like you are in control of everything we do. I will meet you where you are at and we will determine the next best steps for you based on your capacity for change.

Personally, I have dealt with my own chronic health issues through the years, but through consistent lifestyle changes and healthy habits I can confidently say I have gone from surviving every day to thriving. I invite you to lean on my experience, knowledge and insight to make headway in your own journey - while ultimately saving time, money, and confusion in the process!

For reference, my personal health journey required understanding
and overcoming all the following:

  • Weight problems

  • Skin issues (acne, rashes, etc)

  • Hormone imbalances

  • Aggressive cancerous melanoma

  • Pituitary tumor and HPA dysfunction

  • IBS, constipation, and blood in stool

  • Anxiety, depression, panic attacks

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Extreme brain fog

  • Parasitic infections (blood and GI)

  • Mold/Mycotoxin illness (sick building syndrome)

  • Lyme disease and all coinfections

  • Epstein-Barr infection

  • Candida and SIBO

  • Debilitating neck pain

  • Migraine headaches

  • TMJ disorders

  • Mineral imbalances and more.
