Health Coach

Pricing

Kate Kunkel is a ReCODE 2.0 Certified Health Coach, a Dr. Daniel Amen Licensed Brain Trainer and Certified Brain Health Coach and a Vegan Nutritionist. She is also a best-selling author of several books on brain health, including Don’t Let the Memories Fade, The Vegan Brain, and The Musical Brain.


Kate is passionate about helping people with dementia as her own mother was diagnosed in 2010. At the same time her mom received the diagnoses of dementia, Kate was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, and consequently felt compelled to research how she and her mother, who were both previously relatively healthy, could have developed these terrible diseases.


As a result, Kate instituted lifestyle changes to protect her own brain and reverse the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis. While she also attempted to help her mother reverse her symptoms, her diagnosis came too late for Kate to be able to make a meaningful difference. Losing her mother to this ruthless disease inspired Kate to do everything she could to learn more about dementia, and do whatever she could to help others avoid that terrible fate.


Utilizing the healing power of whole plant foods, exercise, music, mindfulness, continual learning, and supplementation that inspired her own healing, Kate has since helped many clients improve their overall health, including brain health, through individual coaching and group programs.


Working with a physician, Kate supports participants on the Bredesen Protocol through the PreCODE and ReCODE programs. She helps with meal planning, developing and adhering to exercise regimes, improving sleep hygiene, and engaging with brain stimulation strategies including music and mindfulness to optimize brain health.


Kate is available to work in person in Ecuador or via telemedicine with a ReCODE 2.0 Certified Primary Protocol Practitioner or in conjunction with your own primary care physician, as long as they are willing to support you on the protocol.


She offers help to clients in several areas, including:

  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Cognitive Decline (Prevention and Treatment)
  • Gut Health
  • Metabolic Health (Diabetes)
  • Nutrition
  • Post Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Sleep
  • Stress Management
  • Vitamin and Nutrient Deficiencies
