Dr. Sy Powell
MD
PA, US
My name is Dr. Sy Powell. I work with midlife professional women who want to get rid of the shackles of overweight, excessive stress, and poor health, so they can kick butt in their personal and business lives . I understand because I used to be one of those overwrought women.
As a physician, I bought into the "work hard/play hard" mentality. I worked long hours in the office, plus 24-hour on-call shifts, skipped meals, grabbed take-out on the way home, used alcohol to unwind, then took pills to get me to sleep. I'd wake up and do it all over again!
It was a set-up for burnout and for my health to crash. Over time, that's exactly what happened. I was diagnosed with three chronic diseases that got me placed on medications to manage, but not cure them. I finally hit bottom when I developed facial nerve shingles.
The blisters were dangerously close to my left eye and excruciatingly painful! It was the wake-up call I needed to push me to take action.
I will always be grateful for expanding my knowledge in Functional Medicine and getting my Health Coaching certification. Through coaching I have changed how I live my life. My lifestyle and nutrition changes helped me to lose 50 pounds and get off toxic medications. I sleep better, and have more energy and clarity of mind.
As a recently awakened physician/health coach, I am called to work outside of the conventional medicine model that trained me. Everyone deserves to know the truth about how we can leverage food to heal. I started this for personal reasons. Yet I continue because I am passionate about being a transformative influence for women and their families. Diet and lifestyle change is the profoundly simple solution for optimal health and wellbeing.
