Transforming task masters into health champions
Uplevel your midlife wellness game with functional medicine done differently.
You've got plenty of ambition and grit. Heck, you're crushing commitments at work, home, and even the gym most days. So why does your health get so much less than your best?
Let’s move “Get Well!” to the top of your midlife priority list and reclaim the healthy energy, resilience, and body confidence you've been craving.
You’re a demonstrated badass at all
things except your own health.

Your “get-it-done” approach to everything you tackle used to…well…get it done! But this midlife season is testing your inner achiever (and your patience!).
Breathe. I’m here to help figure this whole “midlife health thing” out.

You hit work deadlines in your sleep (that is, when you get some).

You’re a master at cramming a week of tasks into a single lunch hour (but fail to score ANY time for yourself).

You trial lots of the expert “biohacks” on social media (but have yet to see any real ROI).

You’re gluten- and dairy-free (except for work travel…girl’s night…vacation…).

Maybe your workouts are non-negotiable (in spite of the fallout they cause with you energy and mood).

Maybe you’ve traded your conventional doctor for a more holistic approach (yet it feels irritatingly the same…).

Maybe you’ve even swapped your prescriptions for supplements (fistfuls of them, in fact).
Your symptoms aren’t the problem, but they are part of the solution.
Bloating, headaches, joint pain, skin issues, anxiety, acid reflux, constipation, autoimmunity, fatigue, weight that won’t budge etc. is not “normal”. Your genetics do not determine your destiny. And despite what you may have heard, feeling like crap doesn’t "just come with age”.
You’re a savvy lady, so I’m gonna cut to the chase…
You can do ehhhrything right when it comes to wellness and still experience symptoms.
Chronic illness, dysfunction, and stress don’t just show up. They’re the result of months and years of the body working overtime to help you keep showing up. You're not "broken" or "a mess" or "just old" and your body's not failing you. It's more likely that you’re trying to shortcut the body’s natural process for getting (and staying) well.
I get it. Really I do.
Read My StoryStraight up, I don’t resonate with most of today’s functional medicine. There’s nothing “functional” about…

Long, carbon copy “treatment” plans you have to tackle on your own.

Biohacking” your way out of crap food and lifestyle choices.

Expensive supplement “kits” and subscriptions from experts who don’t really know you.

Loads of fancy testing that distract you from recommitting to the wellness basics.

"Get well" timeline guarantees that simply don’t deliver.
There is a solution (cue the sigh of relief!) and your body already knows what it is.
More Life & Health approaches functional medicine differently.
The focus is on creating health by applying functional medicine principles as they were intended.

We begin by (and continually return to) reconnecting with the way the body works.

We prioritize replacing what's your body's been missing (rest, nutrition, hydration, movement, balance...).

We get to work minimizing what's causing the body harm (junk food, toxins, and stress!).

We integrate the latest science and technologies to help you monitor, measure, and crush your unique health goals.

We honor that wellness success takes partnership...the step-by-step, up-close-and-personal kind.

I'm doing things I didn't even think possible!
I've lost 29lbs and I walk 1-2 miles a day. I'm, definitely, a work in progress but I'm doing it every day and loving it! When I first started working with you, I could only walk 10-15min a day. I was dealing with gall bladder issues and my body was sick and tired! We worked together with my doctor to find the best options possible to get me healthy. I chose surgery and you were there to help with recovery. My biggest win is waking up every day with a healthy mindset, being a role model for my family and friends, and having confidence in myself. Kara, you have a special gift, thank you for sharing a part of that with me!
-Thersa H. (33yo)

The stomach issues and bloating I couldn’t get rid of are gone.
This program was unlike any other plan I’ve done; it went far beyond food and my goal to just lose weight. I learned so much about myself, my habits and desires than I ever expected. I just feel better, overall, about my body. When I felt like I was failing, your insight helped me reframe the situation, understand my behavior, and strategize the next steps. You have a special gift and use your talents so wisely. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Kara knows her stuff!
Kara gets to the nitty gritty of your issues and helps find solutions. Even though her knowledge of functional medicine runs deep she explains things in a way you can understand. You can really tell she cares and that she is invested in you! I really enjoyed working with Kara and would highly recommend her as a health coach!

I’m off the asthma medication I’ve depended on for years.
My body was getting all the right stuff, plenty of exercise and it still was struggling. After working with MLH, the constipation has gone away. No more bloating. My skin cleared up. I sleep through the night and I'm not afraid of meals. I learned that “ME” time is important for my mental health, and directly impacts physical health. I no longer believe that food is my enemy or that I’m stuck.
-Carolyn R. (33yo)

My headaches and brain fog are gone.
I’m sleeping better, I’m eating many more foods than I was before, and I’ve even found a way to enjoy eating out again. I was sick and tired, and getting nowhere with my doctor. You really helped me to connect the dots between the foods I was eating and how I felt. My greatest learning is that this isn’t just about my diet; it’s about all the choices I make in my life including stress, energy, sleep and even exercise. I don’t even like the gym but thanks to your patience and creativity I have a plan for exercise MY way. My hips and knees feel better, I have more energy, and I’m even sweating!

Even as a nurse I was missing the connection between my stress, how the body works and my overall health.
I didn’t believe I could make these changes, and now I’m not happy doing just the minimum. Often it doesn’t feel like little changes count, but talking through small steps really helped me to create a realistic plan I could achieve. Now I want to be an even healthier version of me, and a good example for my patients.
-Michele G. (31yo)
Nurse Practitioner

Setting my “More” goal was the game changer for me.
I want to lose weight and be healthier, but I want to be a role model for my teenage daughter even more. Once that became my goal, the way I thought about things changed a lot. I used to hide food from her, but now I don’t have to because I know what I’m eating is healthy. I even feel better asking my doctor questions about my health now. I’m still a work in progress but feel so much more in control of my life and health.

I’ve slowed down, let things go, and freed up space to enjoy life.
Despite my knowledge of health and functional medicine, I was feeling the worst I had ever felt. I had a pretty healthy overall lifestyle, but it wasn’t consistent. I tended to jump from thing to thing trying everything. Kara helped me slow down while also digging deep to investigate what might really be going on in my body. Her approach has not only affected the way I look at health challenges and "fix" things but also the way I see my life in general.
-Sarah C. (47yo)
RN, NBC-HWC, Functional Medicine Health Coach

My sleep is better, I’ve lost 20lbs, and I’m reducing my medications.
My brain fog is gone, my lab work is improving, and I feel that I've taken charge of my health. I feel better, brighter and lighter all due to Kara showing me the what, the how, and the why of this work. She has consistently helped me to create the action steps necessary to achieve my goals. My biggest win has been regaining hope for a medication free healthy lifestyle future. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I feel like Kara has led me, mostly "crutch free" to the edge of the woods where the sun is, definitely, shining again!

I finally feel like “Me” again!
My digestion system was struggling, I was constantly tired and was experiencing horrible menstrual cycles. My doctor kept telling me it was normal to be this tired and ran a few labs which showed I was very anemic. Her answer to this was to take iron pills, which left me feeling sicker. Her next answer was birth control which I wasn’t willing to take. Instead, I started working with Kara. She acknowledged that my experience wasn’t normal and gave me hope. I now have energy and am working out again. My digestion is better. And my cycles are normal for the first time since I was a teenager. Her knowledge of the body and how everything works together, her persistence, guidance, expertise, and compassion is priceless.

This changed my mindset. What a difference from a year ago. Seriously.
Stress and inflammation were predominant in my life and negatively impacted my energy levels and digestion. Your tools broadened my perspective and freed up mental space for me to, actually, start. My body was more satisfied and felt fueled. A body/mind/heart running on empty is not beneficial to anyone, and now I have the tools to stay healthy.

My first two vacations without IBS in (10) years!
My nails and skin are healthier. I no longer crave everything in sight. I don't have to worry about an occasional meal out wrecking me for days. I'm not as thirsty, and I've even gained three hours of sleep a night! My doctor never told me I'd need to do anything different after they removed my gallbladder, but I can't even compare my health after surgery with how (well) I'm feeling today.
-Angie A. (49yo)

I’ve improved in all 5 wellness areas but these were my biggest learnings after 7 months:
- I was not being lazy.
- Slow down and listen to your body.
- Be a great (health) detective.
- Trust what your body’s telling you."

- Go-to solutions that eliminate the bloat, resolve the pain, keep the weight off, etc. etc.
- Health information you can rely on.
- Supplement savvy that helps protect your paycheck.
- A health provider who listens (or tools to help you hire a new one).
- A wellness plan that delivers results.
work with meI hear your frustration loud and clear.
- You don’t really have time to slow down.
- You’ve already done (or are doing) “all the things” with no relief.
- You’re too burned out to start all over again.
- You’ve tried natural medicine…but it didn’t work either.
I’ve been exactly where you are — and just as fed up.
Read My StoryAnd yet you’re here. Because you’re not a quitter.
You wannna work hard, play hard, and crush your wellness goals like a boss while doing it.
You just need some help getting started and a plan with a view to the next right step.
You deserve better. Ready to do health differently?
