Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Teri Cochrane. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Teri, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
Yes, there was indeed a defining moment in my professional career that radically altered its trajectory. It stemmed from the birth of my first child, who arrived prematurely and brought with him a myriad of health challenges. This pivotal moment not only reshaped my career but fundamentally transformed my perspective on health and wellness.
At my son’s three-year checkup, we were confronted with a serious prognosis from medical professionals. We were told to expect a future interrupted by brain seizures, stunted growth, and developmental delays. To compound matters, our son battled life-threatening asthma, debilitating eczema, and struggled to thrive. His physical condition included a bone density of an infant much younger than his age, and he didn’t reach milestones like walking and talking until well past the typical
age.
Initially, we followed the allopathic medical model, hoping for solutions within its framework. However, as time passed and my son’s health deteriorated despite medical interventions, I became increasingly disillusioned. It was clear that conventional approaches were failing him, and I felt a deep-seated need to delve deeper into understanding the root causes of his ailments.
Armed with my background in risk management and institutional real estate finance, I embarked on an exhaustive journey of research and discovery. I delved into the intricate connections between nutrition,
genetics, and overall well-being, determined to unearth alternative pathways to healing that traditional medicine had overlooked.
My turning point came 2 years later, when I uncovered that the very foods I had been feeding him, under the guise of nutrition, were exacerbating his health issues. This epiphany shook me to the core. Five years later I decided to make a radical career shift into the world of nutrition.
Transitioning from the realms of finance to the intricacies of nutrition was like learning a new language, but it was fueled by a commitment to my son’s well-being and a deep desire to help others facing similar
challenges.
This defining moment taught me lessons about the power of perseverance, the importance of questioning conventional wisdom, and the transformative potential of personalized nutrition. It has underscored the profound impact that one’s career can have when driven by a deeply rooted sense of purpose and a pursuit of solutions that defy the status quo.
Ultimately, my son’s journey catalyzed a new direction in my professional trajectory, guiding me towards a vocation centered on healing, empowerment, and a pursuit of optimal health for all.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Hi Teri Cochrane here, I am considered a pioneer in personal wellness. A decoder of the human body, entrepreneur, speaker, and advisor. Through decades of clinical work and unprecedented client results, I have developed a novel approach to integrative health that focuses on the ever-shifting needs of the individual rooted in epigenetics, biochemistry, quantum physics, and nutrition. This all started with a personal journey to change the trajectory of my son’s health challenges.
Building upon my clinical experience and insights, I developed the Teri Cochrane® Supplement Line: The Future Is Gene-Smart™: This supplement line represents the culmination of fifteen years of clinical experience and research in integrative wellness. Each supplement is meticulously formulated to address specific biological disruptors and support optimal health at the genetic level. What sets this line apart is it’s a gene smart approach that avoids common ingredients found in supplement lines that may alter genetic expression for the population. Recognizing that individuals have unique genetic tendencies and sensitivities, the supplements are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual, ensuring maximum efficacy and compatibility. By optimizing the body’s biochemical pathways, these supplements play a crucial role in supporting overall health and vitality.
Driven by a commitment to maximizing the human potential, I developed the R3® Program-Repattern Restore Reclaim: The R3 Program is an exclusive, invitation-only initiative. It combines guided work on a
physical level with a focus on healing at the energetic level. Drawing on principles of bioenergetics and quantum biology, this program targets the human existence at the physical, biochemical, spiritual and quantum levels. Through personalized interventions tailored to each individual’s unique needs, the R3 Program empowers clients to repattern limiting beliefs, restore balance, and reclaim their full potential.
In response to the needs of the wellness landscape, I founded The Global Sustainable Health Institute in 2020, as a future-facing consultancy. It provides advising, speaking, and educational services to c-suite
executives, impact leaders, and health experts worldwide. At the core of the institute’s mission is the application of The Cochrane Method® and the R3® Program, introducing pioneering methods in health analysis and epigenetics. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application, the institute aims to inspire, educate, and transform the way we approach health and wellness on a global scale. Through collaborative partnerships and innovative initiatives, it seeks to create a healthier, more sustainable world for future generations.
At the heart of my practice lies The Cochrane Method®, a precision wellness model grounded in nutritional genomic analysis and biochemistry. This innovative approach transcends the limitations of traditional medicine, addressing acute and chronic health imbalances with personalized solutions
tailored to each individual’s unique genetic makeup.
Key Features of The Cochrane Method:
– Precision Wellness Model: This precision wellness model acknowledges the unique bio-individuality of each person. Instead of applying generic treatment protocols, the method recognizes that health outcomes are influenced by a myriad of factors, including genetics, environment, lifestyle, and emotional well-being.
– Four Portals of Epigenetic Expression: The Cochrane Method assesses the body through four portals of epigenetic expression: Pathogenic, Environmental, Emotional, and Physical. By understanding how these
interconnected factors impact health, practitioners can uncover the root causes of imbalances and develop targeted interventions.
– Nutritional Genomic Analysis: A cornerstone of the Cochrane Method is nutritional genomic analysis, which involves examining how genetic variations influence individual responses to diet, lifestyle, and
environmental factors. By identifying genetic polymorphisms and their implications, practitioners can tailor recommendations to optimize health outcomes.
– Algorithm Analysis: The Cochrane Method utilizes algorithmic analysis with a nutrigenomic underpinning to produce a universal assessment of an individual’s health status. This comprehensive evaluation considers genetic predispositions, environmental exposures, dietary habits, and lifestyle factors to identify imbalances and develop personalized strategies for restoration.
– Customized Interventions: Based on the findings of the assessment, personalized interventions are developed to address both acute and chronic health imbalances. These interventions may include dietary modifications, targeted supplementation, lifestyle changes, detoxification protocols, and mind- body practices tailored to the individual’s specific needs.
– Efficacy and Replicability: With a proven track record of clinical outcomes spanning a diverse range of health concerns, the Cochrane Method demonstrates its efficacy and replicability. Through rigorous research, continuous refinement, and real-world application, the method has evolved into a comprehensive framework for achieving optimal health and vitality.
– Scalability and Accessibility: While initially developed in a clinical setting, the Cochrane Method is designed to be scalable and accessible to individuals worldwide. Through online resources, educational programs, and practitioner training, the method empowers individuals to take control of their health and well-being, regardless of geographic location. This initiative is ear-marked for 2024-2025.
