My story
Amanda Price
I have always had a strong interest in food, health and fitness despite working in banking for many years.
In my 20’s I burnt the candle at both ends and didn’t think about my health. Later, as a mum of three young children, I became aware of how sleep deprivation and stress impacted on my health but I didn’t do anything about it. By the time I was in my mid 40s I had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease; I was stressed and I was struggling with various minor health issues. In my work, I see the importance of stress management especially in midlife. How we live and look after ourselves in midlife impacts our longer term health.
The illness and subsequent death of my brother at the age of 53 and my mother’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease lead me to reassess my lifestyle. I am now healthier, fitter and stronger than I have ever been.
My mother’s diagnosis and my brother’s death profoundly affected the way I thought about health. Through my studying and research I concluded that although food is medicine there is actually a lot more to our health than what we eat and how much we exercise.
I believe it is important to take a holistic view towards our health. Food and exercise are important but so is stress management, sleep, how and when you eat, your environment and your mindset/emotional wellbeing. This is particularly true of brain health.
My role as health coach is to support and guide my clients to reach their health goals. Whilst there are certain recommendations for better brain health, it is ultimately up to the client what they want to do.
I offer practical advice and support for long term habit change so that you can live a longer, happier and healthier life.
Almost everyone benefits from having a helping hand on their healthy ageing journey. Working with a health coach will provide the support, encouragement and accountability that you need. Why not discover a healthier you right now?
