Today we’d like to introduce you to Brandi Eilert
Hi Brandi, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Nine years ago, during my third pregnancy, I began experiencing some very sudden and scary symptoms. After getting checked out, the baby and I were both cleared, however the symptoms persisted. Two weeks after that onset, we lost our baby girl and my health began to spiral further. After many doctors appointments, over several months, with zero answers, and out of sheer desperation, i headed down the path of alternative/integrative medicine. I found answers instantly. I was dealing with autoimmune thyroid disease (antibodies, but normal thyroid function). My body was attacking itself.
Over the next few years, and with guidance from some amazing practitioners, I completely overhauled my life. My diet became cleaner and more anti-inflammatory, I added essential vitamins and nutrients that had been lacking, more exercise, and introduced some stress management tools. After DNA testing, I was also able to target some problem areas directly and have been on the path of health and vitality ever since.
Through this experience, it opened my eyes to a fractured system of health care and our slow roll away from true health and healing.
I had spent so much time during this period angry and frustrated with the system, but so very grateful and hopeful for one that was emerging, that I decided to become a Certified Holistic Health Coach and also start the “Life. On Purpose” podcast. I wanted to be the person that I needed early on in my healing. I wanted to be someone that helped people navigate the healing journey and the path to true health and vitality.
It is my mission to empower my clients to take back the control in their own life, health and health care. Too often we relinquish our control over to societal norms that do not necessarily serve us or to health care that does not work FOR and WITH us. I help them to marry lifestyle/personal/emotional health with their physical health so that they can function at their very best. We zoom out and take a 30,000 ft view of life, history, habits, health, and other needs to find the right path forward. Because health is holistic and living well is personal. Life should be lived…on purpose.
I am also wife to a college basketball coach which carries it’s own unique challenges and lifestyle. I speak about these things as well on the podcast.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The only struggle thus far has been carrying the weight of other people’s pain. Otherwise, when you are truly doing something you love and it aligns with your purpose, it doesn’t feel so cumbersome.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am both a practicing Certified Holistic Health Coach and Podcaster. In my practice as a health coach you could consider me your health concierge. We work together to find the right practitioners for you. We also dig to uncover what is not balanced in your life to create space for peace and healing. Creating new habits can be difficult so I walk with you and guide you through those challenges as we slowly transform your life and health.
I also spend time interviewing practitioners, authors, speakers, doctors, coaches, sports personalities and more on health, life, purpose, mental fortitude and living intentionally.
I am probably best known for authentic curiosity, my ability to truly connect, and really getting to the heart of the matter.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
There are two essential qualities really. Authenticity and genuine curiosity. It’s been that simple.
