Check Out Kellie Hamilton’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kellie Hamilton.

Hi Kellie, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After years of seeing the healthcare system fail patients at my nursing job, I felt that patients needed a service that can help empower, educate and inspire them to take back their health using holistic tactics from someone who knows both the western and holistic sides of healthcare. I wanted to be the change I so hoped would happen to modern medicine.

So I decided to open A Better Path To Wellness after putting myself through a nutrition program. It was a 7-year passion hobby turned business with the push of my friends and family. I could not be happier I did. We are changing people’s lives for the better every day at ABPW.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Is a road ever truly smooth? Hahaha, I have had many challenges being the unorthodox coach that I am. For a while, the holistic community didn’t want to accept me fully because I still work at the bedside in an intensive care unit. They don’t all take well to the western medicine world.

I had felt it from the other side as well as you can imagine where I get constant eye rolls and pushback from coworkers, colleagues, and hospital staff that don’t want to discuss evidence-based holistic treatments for patients because it’s “not how we do things” or “out of the normal.” It has been frustrating at times but I have gotten better at learning from the “No’s” and proving to the skeptics that this kind of care has a place, a big place in preventive care and disease treatment.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a proud registered nurse for almost 9 years. I have worked in hospice, on medical-surgical floors, and in the surgical intensive care unit. I am also a nutrition & wellness consultant and a holistic nutrition coach certified through the AFPA.

I specialize in assisting busy individuals in lowering their BMI, improving lab values, and helping prevent and manage chronic diseases by incorporating more whole food plant-based nutrition into one’s diet. I arm people with the resources they need in and out of the kitchen to be the healthiest versions of themselves they can be, I am also a meal-prepping specialist who helps teach people to make meals in bulk to achieve specific wellness goals and give them back hours a week of their lives.

What sets me apart is I have the bedside knowledge of an experienced ICU nurse and the ability to reach research articles and studies with the understanding a layman’s person cannot. I sift through the current and past research for clients on their specific needs about holistic interventions that their primary care doctors or specialists don’t have the designated time to do because of the western medicine model.

I am so proud of my small business and the many lives we have helped in the past two years. I am proud of my clients, every one of them for seeking help to be more informed to improve their health. I am proud of myself for maintaining a healthy life, a small business, a bedside staff job, and making room to travel the globe which is my favorite pastime.

What makes you happy?
Personally, traveling and gaining experiences in new places make me happy. There is no greater joy to be than that. If I get to be by the ocean while doing that it’s an even bigger bonus as the ocean brings me so much happiness when I am near or in it. Professionally, the silent wins behind the scenes make me happy. It proves that the hard work, hours of research, late nights, early mornings, and personal things missed are making an impact.
