HI! My name is Shara Smith. I am a certified Integrative Nutrition and Health Coach. I received my training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. As well as my Health Coach certification I am also a certified Pilates Instructor and I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Arizona State University in Dance Studies. I myself have an autoimmune disease called Celiac. I was diagnosed at age three over forty years ago before eating Gluten Free became such a trend. Over the years my family and I received many different opinions and information on Celiac. Some said it was a childhood disease and I would grow out of it. Having no concrete information with no unbiased third party to help figure out what worked best for my body I was left to trust these specialist. What occurred was drastic and created developmental delays physically and mentally. 

Not until I was old enough to really dig in, do some research my self and have access to medical journals when I went to college, did I fully understand what I was dealing with. I had a full understanding of what autoimmune diseases are, and how they develop. I learned that there is a difference between having a particular gene for an autoimmune disease and developing an autoimmune disease because of your environment. Also that you can fallow protocols and make lifestyle changes to help you live a healthy life and coexist with the autoimmune disease. 

So the obsession with research in health and nutrition was born. I wanted to become a health coach because I feel that everyone needs someone in their corner to help them create a healthier and happier life. Someone outside your inner circle that is unbiased that can look at your health journey with a fresh point of view. To do that all on your own is extremely time consuming and to have someone to help guide you will get you where you want to be. So I ask, are you Ready?
