Today we’d like to introduce you to Nancy Guberti
Hi Nancy, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I was working on the trading floor at Goldman Sachs, minding my own business, and very happy with my career, marriage, and family life, and then my son developed a liver disorder, and no conventional doctor could help. We went to many doctors, but they could not explain why this happened and what to do. I imagined myself on my deathbed, questioning if I would be happy with all I did for him, so I got my MS in Nutrition and went into functional medicine. I researched with PhDs in Italy and Spain, pulled in many sleepless nights studying, and it was nothing short of a miracle; fast forward 24 years, and he is running the six major world marathons and thriving in his freelance financial writing business, and I thank God every day. I say a gratitude prayer when I read his articles on MSN, InvestorPlace, U.S. News & World Report, and Newsweek. I am blessed to have another son who was my archangel of strength, he is my business marketing guru, and I am delighted that both sons also started a digital marketing agency together. They do the marketing for MedSpas, orthodontists, architects, doctors, senior care centers, authors, realtors, and any business needing quality marketing. I believe God sustains and rewards you during and after the trials and tribulations of life while on your path to authentic purpose and mission.
I cannot even imagine where my son or we would all be if I had not gained access to functional medicine labs. For 24 years, I have been active in my private practice in Greenwich, CT, and have used the same lab testing to help people reach optimal health. In the healthcare industry, being a functional medicine practitioner, health coach, naturopath, or fitness coach is a very fulfilling career when you have a message and passion for being the ripple effect for the betterment of humanity. It is a career where you can positively impact the lives of others as they reach total wellness of mind and body. As your clients transform their lives, yours get transformed as well. It is genuinely the ripple effect.
Along this wellness journey career, I have had the honor of teaching practitioners at nutraceutical companies and numerous health schools.
This experience led to a new path: the birth of Total Wellness Empowerment Institute, which offers certified health coaching courses. These courses are chock-full of information, and one can choose the children’s course, MedSpa coach course, or the master health coach course.
In addition, I want to ensure that the specialized labs are accessible to everyone, so I offer a practitioner lab training course and a monthly mentorship. Unfortunately, many restricted states still do not allow such labs to be utilized, which I find to be an injustice to anyone seeking wellness. Our training and mentorship offer everyone access.
The training empowers health coaches, fitness coaches, aesthetic nurses, and healthcare practitioners to utilize these labs and gain access to them in the mentorship. It allows practitioners to gain clinical experience reviewing their clients’ labs with me.
I am on a mission to empower others to reach total wellness for themselves and as coaches or practitioners for their wellness community.
We can be the ripple effect in the betterment of humanity, helping people reach wellness and enjoy the life they imagined.
To me, that is the ultimate mission in life.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
This experience was not smooth, but in hindsight, it was necessary for it to unfold the way it did. With challenges comes strength, grit, and determination. When overwhelmed, rest was the solution, and the next day brought new hope and a clear mind to keep learning and digging for answers.
The struggles endured were that I was the breadwinner working at a very demanding but fulfilling career while juggling going back to school and exploring a different approach to healing my son. I was on a less traveled road and, at the time, not traveled at all. Some days, it seemed like there needed to be more hours in a day for work, family, learning, and experimenting with making foods from scratch, and back then, there was not a Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s around.
Another challenge was finding clean supplements. I realized you’d have to call each company and ask for their white papers on their products’ sourcing. That was the new normal. Since my son had multiple food allergies, I visited the local farmer’s market every weekend. I interviewed the farmers about what they feed their animals and if they used harmful toxins in their produce. Another struggle was clearing the house of toxins and carpets and rehauling everything from A to Z, including cookware. On Sundays, it was for spiritual renewal and special bonding, exploring new educational and fun activities for children, such as museums and children’s events, and introducing something new to explore.
It’s been a long learning journey, and I am grateful now for it, but back then, when you were in the thick of it, you could not see the future.
If you are struggling with a situation, stay positive. Your mind will be more precise, and you can keep pursuing your desires. Keep going.
“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for fewer problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.” ~Jim Rohn
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Total Wellness Empowerment Institute offers certified health coach courses accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
We currently offer an 8-week, specialized children’s program to empower students with information that addresses the biomedical and nutritional intervention for typical and special needs youth. There is a year-long Master Health Coach program that starts with our foundational 9 Steps to Healthy Living and then explores comprehensive learning topics on Adrenals, Hormones, Weight Management, Immune System, Mind-Body Integration, Gut Health, Cardio health, Mental Health, Natural Remedies, Homeopathy, Gentle Detoxification, and more.
Both courses allow the graduate to join the specialized lab training and mentorship.
The Practitioner Lab training is open to any healthcare practitioner, even if they did not graduate from Total Wellness Empowerment Institute but want to learn and gain access to the labs for their wellness community. We expanded the lab training to MedSpas, aesthetic nurses, and estheticians to empower their clients to work on inner wellness, especially with hormones, adrenals, GI health, and Skin DNA specialized lab testing.
Total Wellness Empowerment Institute is unique because it shares the clinical experience knowledge over 24 years. Students and graduates have access to an active functional medicine practitioner and founder. The training will empower anyone with health-related topics and provide the blueprint for a positive mindset, business productivity, marketing materials, and specific labs. They will gain clinical experience in the mentorship by reviewing lab results firsthand instead of learning just the theory. In addition, they will have access to my marketing gurus, who understand and help clients thrive in the wellness industry. They can learn from them and do it themselves or hire them to do it. We offer business and marketing training for people just starting and advanced services for others.
To succeed, you must gain knowledge and clinical experience, access labs and nutraceutical protocols, and elevate your mindset daily to keep working on your passion. Set SMART business goals and quality marketing so you are not the best hidden secret but can share your message and services with others.
The goal is for every healthcare practitioner to succeed as they empower others to reach total wellness of mind and body.
It’s what I call the ripple effect in the betterment of humanity.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
Family Sundays! Every Sunday, after church, my family would visit a new exciting place with my grandparents from checking out the USS Ling submarine, to mini-golf in City Island, Adventureland, Van Saun Park, Rockefeller Estate, Lyndhurst mansion, and museums. The central theme was the family and exploring together.
